Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

What was wrong with Kong Rong? Wasn’t she vain and shallow? He was already so poor, but she was still willing to stay? Was she really Kong Rong?

Puzzled, Cheng Fang probed, “Do you still remember the first time we saw each other when we were young?”

Kong Zhao was stunned. Sheng Rou and Kong Rong had never told her that they had seen each other when they were young.

She looked up at Cheng Fang and realized that he had leaned over. There was less than half an arm’s length between them.

The man’s approach made Kong Zhao blush. She subconsciously distanced herself from him.

At the same time, she said in a panic, “I was so young back then, so I forgot. It’s very late. Go take a shower quickly.”

“You really don’t remember anything at all? You’ve change a lot since you were young. You don’t even look like yourself anymore.” Cheng Fang narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong Zhao, as if he was observing the expression on her face.

Kong Zhao’s heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to calm down. If Cheng Fang and Kong Rong had met when they were young, there was no reason for Sheng Rou not to tell her, so it was very likely that Cheng Fang had remembered the wrong person.

At the thought of this, Kong Zhao calmed down for real. “I’ve thought about it carefully. I don’t remember it, so you might have remembered the wrong person. Alright, it’s getting late. Go take a shower.”

Cheng Fang originally felt that Kong Rong was acting a little strange today and wanted to test her, but now, it seemed that he was overthinking things.

“Then I’ll go take a shower first. You should rest early too.” With that, Cheng Fang went into the bathroom.

Looking at Cheng Fang’s disappearing back figure, Kong Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she thought about how she would live with a stranger in the future and even have sex with him, Kong Zhao’s body stiffened and her thoughts were in a mess.

“I’m done. Do you want to wash up?” Cheng Fang’s low and magnetic voice pulled Kong Zhao back from her thoughts. She looked up and met his dark eyes that were filled with unfathomable emotions.

Kong Zhao’s heart skipped a beat. She had yet to figure out how to interact with Cheng Fang, so she could only find an excuse to leave. “Then I… I’ll go wash up too.”

Kong Zhao got up and quickly slipped into the bathroom. She was about to lock the door when she realized that there wasn’t even a latch on the old wooden door. This made her feel a little awkward.

How was she going to shower? Did she have to grab the door handle the entire time while showering?

The man outside the door seemed to understand her thoughts and said in a low voice, “I’ll go outside to smoke. Take your time.”

With that, the door closed. Kong Zhao quietly pushed open a crack. Seeing that there was indeed no one in the room, she went to take a shower.

At the same time, her impression of Cheng Fang improved a lot. Although he was poor and was a slacker, at least he had good character and didn’t take advantage of others.

After Kong Zhao finished showering, Cheng Fang still didn’t return.

Kong Zhao took this opportunity to carefully size up the one-bedroom apartment she would live in the future.

Although this house was a little dilapidated, it should be quite nice if it was tidied up properly. While tidying up the bed, Kong Zhao thought about buying things to decorate her new house tomorrow.

Just as she knelt on the bed and pulled down the blanket, Cheng Fang walked in.

Kong Zhao made the bed, changed into her pajamas, and prepared to go to bed according to her usual habits.

However, she had forgotten that she was no longer living alone, so the sound of the door opening startled her. She wanted to get up from the bed, but she didn’t notice that her knee was pressing against a corner of the towel.

She got up and the towel slid down. She exclaimed in shock and subconsciously tried to cover herself. However, Cheng Fang had already seen her naked body.

Kong Zhao hurriedly grabbed the blanket to cover her body, and her face flushed.

Looking at the blushing Kong Zhao, Cheng Fang wanted to tease her. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and the look in his eyes became even deeper and more complicated.

He slowly walked to her and said in a low and cold voice, “It’s getting late. Let’s sleep.”

Kong Zhao’s heart almost jumped out of her throat. “Isn’t it too early…”

Cheng Fang didn’t really want to have sex with this notorious new wife. He just wanted to tease her when he saw her blushing face. Since she rejected him, he said, “Forget it then. There’s only one bed here. I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight. You can sleep in the room. Call me if you need anything.”
