The Rest Of My Life Is Cheng Yanzhi

Cheng Yanzhi stared at her, longing each time for her to show just a hint of jealousy toward Han Ningyan!

But from her, he could never see a single spark of jealousy—her lack of concern was painfully clear.

Disappointed, he released her and turned to walk away without a word.

That night, the Cheng Residence buzzed with lively activity. Xia Yunsheng changed into an elegant dress and carefully applied her makeup.

Considering her packed work schedule, opportunities to wear such formal attire were few and far between.

Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, she looked extraordinarily captivating.

However, her mood was downright terrible!

She wanted nothing more than to confront Cheng Yanzhi, damn it, to ask why, after taking advantage of her, he had simply disappeared.

Was she meant to face this situation all on her own?

Today was her grandpa's birthday, and so many guests were coming... if he didn't show up, how awkward would that be for her?

A servant complimented her, "Young mistress, you look absolutely beautiful in that dress. No wonder the young master is so fond of you."

"Fond?" Xia Yunsheng laughed silently.

If only Cheng Yanzhi were fond of her!

At least then he wouldn't constantly wear such a sour expression around her, and always leave her alone!

She wouldn't be as furious as she currently was!

With that thought, she found herself envious of Han Ningyan who had managed to capture the heart of a man as arrogant and wilful as Cheng Yanzhi.

This invariably made negotiating with him less complicated!

Once she changed into her dress, a disheartened Xia Yunsheng emerged from her room. Walking up the grand staircase, she bumped into Secretary Song, who respectfully greeted her, "Young mistress."

"Is Cheng Yanzhi back?" Upon seeing Secretary Song, Xia Yunsheng felt like she had spotted her savior.

Secretary Song looked surprised: "The Young Master has been up on the third floor. Didn't you know?"

"When did he return?" She had been worried that he might not show up at all this evening.

Finally, she exhaled a sigh of relief!

"He came back with you." Xia Yunsheng was driven back, while Cheng Yanzhi had chosen to drive himself.

Xia Yunsheng was diet in her response.

Lifting her dress, she headed for the third floor. At the stairs, however, she saw Ling Xiche wearing a uniform.

"Sheng."

Every time he saw Xia Yunsheng, he greeted her with a warm smile.

"Instructor Ling." Seeing him immediately brought a surge of nostalgia.

Ling Xiche was her entire adolescence—the man she had had a crush on since she was a child.

She had always thought that when she grew up, she would marry him!

But to her surprise, she ended up spending a night with Cheng Yanzhi in a blur, and her grandpa found out.

Just like that, she had become Cheng Yanzhi's wife!

Although this marriage was a mere sham, she and Ling Xiche are already impossible...

Ling Xiche headed her way, his smile as warm as the sunshine, "Why did you go to such a dangerous place without telling anyone? Please don't do this again, Yanzhi will be worried!"

Yanzhi will be worried about you!

In the past, he only ever said, Sheng, I will be the one worried!!

If she hadn't spent so much time out in the world, learning to control her tears, she probably would have burst into tears by now.

She nodded her head, "Yeah, I know."

Ling Xiche spoke softly, there were some things that maybe they both understood were not suitable to mention again: "Yanzhi is upstairs. Go find him!"

"Sure!"

-

After exchanging a simple greeting, Ling Xiche headed downstairs. Climbing the stairs, Xia Yunsheng saw Cheng Yanzhi standing at the top.

He was just in a shirt, the top two buttons undone to reveal his collarbone, his eyes icy cold.
