Chapter 548 A Beautiful Woman

Chen Chen said, “Miss Zhuang, Young Master Cheng is quite pitiful. You…”
Zhuang Ning turned around and looked at Chen Chen with a half-smile on her face as she said, “He’s pitiful? Are you not pitiful? In fact, which of us isn’t pitiful? As adults, we have to take responsibility for our actions. There’s no need to talk about who’s pitiful or not. Leave him with me; you can go and do your work. The shooting for my drama was completed yesterday so I have a few days to rest. If he’s willing, he can stay here. If he doesn’t want to leave, I won’t chase him away. Don’t worry.”
Chen Chen was pleasantly surprised by Zhuang Ning’s reply. He hurriedly bowed to her and said, “Thank you, Miss Zhuang!”
Zhuang Ning smiled and waved her hand before returning to the living room with a glass of honeyed water.
Chen Chen left, relieved and filled with gratitude.
Zhuang Ning sat across from Ye Cheng and patted his leg as she said, “Drink the honeyed water.”
When the sound of Chen Chen closing the door rang in the air, Ye Cheng removed his hand from his face, rubbing it before he sat up straight. He reached out for the glass, but he avoided her gaze as he forced a smile on his face and said hoarsely, “Thank you.”
Zhuang Ning pretended not to hear him.
Ye Cheng drank the honeyed water. The burning sensation in his stomach eased immediately. Seeing that he was done drinking, Zhuang Ning rose to her feet with the empty glass in her hand before she said, “Go take a bath and have a good sleep. If there’s anything, we’ll talk after you wake up.”
Just as she turned around to return to the kitchen, Ye Cheng reached out to pull her back. “Zhuang Ning, sit with me for a while.” Ye Cheng raised his head to look at her. His eyes were bloodshot and contained a hint of pleading when he looked at her.
Zhuang Ning lowered her head slightly to look at him. As though her heart had finally softened, she pushed his hand away gently and said, “Go to sleep. I’ll accompany you when you wake up.”
After saying that, she went to the kitchen.
The sound of her washing the glass rang in the small apartment.
Ye Cheng held his face in his hand; a satisfied smile could be seen on his face.
Zhuang Ning’s apartment was very small. Although she was somewhat famous now, she was still not very popular. After all, she still had a few unaired dramas in the line.
Although the two-bedroom apartment was small, it was cozy. It made Ye Cheng feel extremely at ease. He was serious about pursuing her, and he had never been so attentive to any woman before. Zhuang Ning was very cold and aloof. In the beginning, she did not even spare a glance at him. She seemed to particularly dislike rich second-generation heirs like him. In the beginning, she was so cold toward him that even Chen Chen could not stand it. However, for some reason, he liked her even more. She was like a breath of fresh air to him. He could sense her diligence, struggle, and progress, and he felt that she was the same kind of person he was. He was deeply attracted to her.
Ye Cheng listened to Zhuang Ning and stood up shakily. He took a bath before entering the guest room. As soon as he lay on the bed, he fell asleep peacefully. Zhuang Ning’s apartment gave him a sense of security.
At this time, Zhuang Ning stood at the door and looked at the sleeping man on the bed for a while before gently closing the door with an icy smile on her face.
She thought it was really ironic that the man who did nothesitate to take her life had such a weak and cowardly side to him. The retribution was still too light in her opinion. How could the price for the crime he had committed be so light?
She sneered. He did not even care about human lives, but he was depressed because of his familial relationships.
Zhuang Ning turned to look into the mirror and studied the beautiful but strange face in the mirror. Her gaze was cold, and her expression was cynical.
She was Zhuang Ning physically, but her soul was Yang Li, a woman who had been driven into a corner. The person who had driven her into a corner was now with her. Life was really unpredictable.
