Wan Tong looked up at the man’s exquisite jawline, sorted out her thoughts, suppressed the restlessness and anxiety in her heart, and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, “Cheng Cheng, how could you come in while a lady was taking a bath?”
That’s how the original owner used to call Yu Cheng. Wan Tong had no psychological burden calling him by that name either, and she felt a familiar sense of closeness.
Upon hearing her voice, Yu Cheng paused for a moment, his arms that was holding her were slightly stiff.
The voice was so familiar, the tone was so familiar, and the look in her eyes was so familiar, that he felt a sense of confusion as if he was in a dream.
No, it had been ten years, and she had never once entered his dream.
At this moment, her eyes were clear, as if he was still the person she could trust the most, as if he had never done those things that hurt her ten years ago.
“Sorry, no next time.” He avoided her gaze, his expression stiff and serious, but his tone was surprisingly gentle. If one listened carefully, there was even a hint of panic.
After leaving the bathroom, Yu Cheng put Wan Tong on the bed and placed a cup of warm ginger and brown sugar water by her lips.
Wan Tong took a sip from his hand before reaching out to hold the cup.
Yu Cheng looked at her probing movements like a small animal, and his deep and quiet black pupils rippled slightly with a wave. But in a flash, he lowered his eyelashes again, covering up the frenzy in his eyes.
“May I help you dry your hair?” His voice was soft, with a cosnulting tone.
Wan Tong nodded, and he picked up a clean towel from the tray and wrapped it around her wet hair, gently patting it dry.
“Chengcheng, why don’t you ask me anything?” Wan Tong sipped the ginger and brown sugar water in small sips. Perhaps out of trust built over many years, she allowed him to lightly massage her head with his hands.
Yu Cheng’s hands did not stop, and in an angle she couldn’t see, his expression stiffened for a moment. “Ask what?”
“…” Wan Tong fell silent. Did he not have any doubts about her identity? Did he just assume she was Bai Wantong herself?
Or maybe, he simply had no resistance to this face?
Neither of them spoke again. After Wan Tong’s hair was half-dried, Yu Cheng changed to another towel and carefully dried the moisture from her white jade feet.
Wan Tong watched his movements intently, and because of the throbbing pain in her temples, she just wanted to go to sleep.
In the original owner’s memories, Yu Cheng was always silent, but he always seemed to appear when she needed him, as if he could instantly understand all her thoughts.
For example, just now, if he hadn’t carried her out of the bathroom, she might have kept washing herself until her skin peeled off.
Yu Cheng squatted by the bed, and only then did Wan Tong notice that he had changed his clothes, but his black hair was still damp.
He seemed to notice her gaze, silently wiped her feet for her, and then left without saying a word.
Wan Tong sat on the pure white bed wrapped in a bath towel for a while before finally accepting this strange but comfortable environment.
Yu Cheng left the room and closed the door. Bai Wanxin and Qian Le just happened to be passing by together.
“President Yu, I’m sorry, we couldn’t get regular clothes on the cruise ship, only evening dresses, but Miss Bai happens to have some clothes that she hasn’t worn yet.” Qian Le had been following Yu Cheng for so many years, and had never had any problems with this aspect before. It was the first time he had handled it, and he still felt inadequate, so he looked even more guilty.
Bai Wanxin smiled gently and gestured to the paper bag in her hand, “Ah Cheng, I think that girl is about the same height as me, so she should be able to wear my clothes.”
Yu Cheng glanced over the clothes the two had brought, hesitated for a moment, and didn’t take them. “No need.”
She wouldn’t wear someone else’s clothes.
Qian Leb: “Huh?” Then what would the girl in the room wear?
Bai Wanxin also asked, “But the girl’s clothes were all wet…”
Yu Cheng didn’t explain any further, he just ordered Qian Le, “Accelerate back to the port.”
Qian Le nodded quickly upon hearing this, “Understood.”
Originally, they were scheduled to return to the port at night, but with the acceleration, they should be able to arrive in the evening.
Without even thinking, Qian Le knew the reason why Mr. Yu gave such an order, but he didn’t have the courage to ask about the girl.
Bai Wanxin held her own clothes in embarrassment and her gaze fell on Yu Cheng’s wet hair. Her expression changed and she asked, “Ah Cheng, do you want to dry your hair first?”
This was the first time that Yu Cheng had shown such a disheveled appearance in front of them.
Upon hearing this, Yu Cheng also remembered the way the girl had stared at his hair earlier. He pursed his lips and looked at Qian Le, “Where’s your room?”
Qian Le was stunned for a moment and pointed to the room next to Yu Cheng’s, “Ah? It’s…it’s next to President Yu’s room.”
Yu Cheng turned around and pushed open the door, walking straight in.
Walked, straight in…
Not only Qian Le, but Bai Wanxin was also stunned. Yu Cheng could have gone to his own room to tidy up, why did he have to go to Qian Le’s room? Could he endure it?
After Qian Le realized what was happening, he quickly followed and went in, “President Yu, the room is a bit messy, I…”
Sure enough, as soon as they entered, he saw the disgust on Yu Cheng’s face, but it wasn’t unbearable.
After all, he had been by Yu Cheng’ming’s side for many years, and when it came time to tidy up Yu Cheng’s room, he also tidied up his own room, just in case.
But now his suitcase was left open on the floor, which looked particularly obtrusive.
Qian Le quickly closed the suitcase and stuffed it into the corner, out of sight, out of mind.
At this moment, Bai Wanxin pushed open Yu Cheng’s room door.
After drinking the ginger soup, Wan Tong dried her hair and crawled back into the soft bed. There was a faint scent in her nose, like disinfectant, and like the fragrance of fruit, which smelled so good that she felt drowsy.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she lazily opened her eyes towards the direction of the door, but her body was still curled up in the bed, too lazy to move.
Bai Wanxin came to the bedside without any hesitation, looked down at the girl who looked lazy like a cat, and asked with a questioning look, “Who are you?”
She knew that there was a white moonlight in Yu Cheng’s heart, her deceased step-sister, Bai Wantong.
This was the plot given by the system, and it was absolutely correct.
Over the years, she had studied Yu Cheng and Bai Wantong, and even had plastic surgery to look like her, just to make Yu Cheng pay more attention to her.
But the girl in front of her was even more extraordinary. She copied Bai Wantong’s face exactly, even the position of that teardrop mole was the same.
No wonder Yu Cheng was like he had been cursed, hugging her without any qualms, treating her like a treasure, even forgetting his own quirks.
How could Bai Wanxin not be anxious when she saw such an unusual Yu Cheng?
Who was this person in front of her, and what was her purpose in getting close to Yu Cheng?
“Who are you?” Wan Tong asked back with Bai Wanxin’s own words, then looked at the high heels on Bai Wanxin’s feet on the white carpet, frowned, and then looked away.
The original owner’s cleanliness obsession needs to be changed, otherwise she would find fault with everything she saw.
Despite various dissatisfactions in her heart, Bai Wanxin’s smile remained gentle and warm. “My name is Bai Wanxin.”
Bai Wantong responded lukewarmly, imitating her tone. “My name is Bai Wantong.”
There was only one child in the Bai family, Bai Wantong, but after the original owner of the body jumped into the sea and died, Father Bai married another woman.
That woman brought two children with her, and even made them change their surname to Bai.
The eldest son, Bai Ziyan, was having his engagement ceremony with the daughter of the Luo family on this cruise ship.
The other one was the current Bai Wanxin in front of Wan Tong, but Bai Wanxin’s body had already been occupied by the Raider.
“Impossible!” Bai Wanxin tightly squeezed the paper bag in her hand, her voice becoming stern. “Sister Wantong passed away ten years ago. Who are you to dare to impersonate her here!”
This girl looked too young. How could she be Bai Wantong?
Hearing the words “Sister Wantong,” Wan Tong couldn’t help but tremble.
After the original owner committed suicide, the body was not found, so Wan Tong was not afraid of being questioned. At most, she would have to do a paternity test. As for why she still looked like a nineteen-year-old, that was up to their speculation.
Anyway, she was convinced that she had lost her memory.
“You’re so noisy.” Wan Tong turned around and closed her slightly heavy eyelids again.
Bai Wanxin’s pent-up emotions did not erupt, but she continued to patiently ask, “You said your name is Bai Wantong, but your name is not on the list of people who boarded the cruise ship. How did you get on board?”
Bai Wanxin did not connect the Bai Wantong in front of her with the deceased Bai Wantong at all.
Bai Wanxin only saw her as a scheming woman who had undergone plastic surgery to get close to Yu Cheng.
“Go ask Chengcheng.” Wan Tong didn’t even look back, her voice already sounding drowsy.
It had been a long time since anyone had ignored Bai Wanxin like this. She gritted her teeth and lowered her voice as she spoke, “Chengcheng? That’s an intimate name. Let’s see how long you can keep up the act.”
Wan Tong didn’t respond.
Bai Wanxin walked to the other side of the bed and was about to say something when the door was pushed open.
Yu Cheng had already adjusted himself to his best state. When he saw that there was someone else in the room, a cold and fierce look flashed in his eyes. “Who let you in?”
Bai Wanxin was startled by the cold voice that was devoid of any human emotions, but she knew Yu Cheng’s personality, so she softened up the next second and apologized with guilt, “I’m sorry, Ah Cheng. I just wanted to check if she caught a cold. I have medicine with me…”
After she explained, Yu Cheng toned down his hostility a bit and said, “You don’t need to interfere.”
“Then, I’ll leave first.” Bai Wanxin walked lightly towards the door, looking very considerate.
However, when she reached the door, the girl on the bed spoke softly again, “Chengcheng, the carpet is stained.”
Bai Wanxin froze in her steps, and her face showed a hint of anger.
Isn’t this girl taking advantage of the situation too much?
Is she saying that I stained the carpet by stepping on it? Yu Cheng didn’t even say a word, so who is she to speak?
But the next second, Bai Wanxin heard Yu Cheng’s soft voice saying, “I’ll have it removed later.”
Bai Wanxin gritted her teeth, trying to maintain her graceful posture, and walked out.
It seems that Bai Wantong’s face is indeed very lethal. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have held back and would have gone all out copying her face!
Unfortunately, there’s no regret medicine. Even if she tries to fix herself now, it’s too late.
However, she doesn’t believe that the other girl can rely on her face to stay by Yu Cheng’s side forever!
The room quieted down again. Wan Tong let out a yawn and wiped away the tears that had formed in the corner of her eyes. She felt like she had the potential to be a “green tea bitch.”
But since she had lost some memories and couldn’t guess Yu Cheng’s thoughts, and Bai Wanxin had gained too much favorability, she had to probe first.
Yu Cheng’s response just now was clearly too indulgent towards her.
It made her feel like she could do whatever she wanted with him.
