Chapter 17: Dream Again

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Liang Yan had a high fever. In a daze, she seemed to have dreamed of the old Jiang Sheng again.

At that time, Jiang Sheng’s name was not Jiang Sheng, nor was he the second young master of the Jiang Corporation. Instead, he was Wei Lan, her childhood sweetheart who had grown up with her in the orphanage.

“Yanyan, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?” The young man’s fair cheeks were red, and his eyes were filled with shyness. He was clutching the corner of his shirt and waiting nervously for the judgment. “I will definitely treat you well…”

“Okay.” The young Liang Yan smiled sweetly and boldly held the young man’s hand.

Under the setting sun, the shadows of the young men and women intertwined and gradually disappeared into the distance…

Liang Yan smiled.

Suddenly, the scene changed. The setting sun was replaced by darkness, and the backs of the young men and women were drowned by the men and women at the entrance of the nightclub.

She saw herself kneeling in front of Pei Yu in the bar, crying.

The man leaned over and lifted his chin, looking down at her. “Your first time?”

She bit her lip and nodded. Then she was pulled into the man’s arms.

The moment she was pulled into his arms, the scene suddenly changed again. In the storm, she curled up in a corner and endured the beating of the burly men.

“Chu Yan, don’t lie to me. You’re trying to climb up the social ladder. After knowing that I’m the young master of the Jiang family, you wanted to take the opportunity to seduce me.” Jiang Sheng’s cold voice entered her ears.

“No! No!” Liang Yan shouted hysterically as she dodged the beating. “I’m your girlfriend! Wei Lan, believe me!”

Liang Yan suddenly opened her eyes and panted heavily.

It was already the next day.

The glaring sunlight shone through the window and illuminated the entire ward. Liang Yan was not used to it. She narrowed her eyes and turned her head to avoid the dazzling light. Suddenly, a hand blocked in front of her.

Liang Yan looked at the arm.

It was Jiang Sheng, looking at her worriedly.

Liang Yan was in a daze. After a while, she came back to her senses and realized that the scenes just now were all dreams.

She was lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip in her arm.

Liang Yan shook her head and waved away the image in her mind.

“Are you feeling better?” Jiang Sheng picked up the water by the bed and handed it to Liang Yan. He explained to her gently, “You had a fever yesterday. I sent you to the hospital.”

Liang Yan did not refuse. After drinking the water, she finally felt a little better.

“Thank you, President Jiang.” Liang Yan thanked Jiang Sheng coldly and distantly. “Send me the bill for the medical expenses. I’ll transfer it to you later.”

Jiang Sheng’s expression froze, and a wisp of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Just now, they were worried that Liang Yan would pester him after she woke up, but why did he feel disappointed when he saw how cold she was?

After driving away the wild thoughts in his mind, Jiang Sheng smiled. “It’s okay. It’s nothing. Rest well. You can be discharged after the IV drip.”

Liang Yan thanked her again politely. “Sorry to trouble you last night, but I can still afford the medical fees. You don’t have to spend any money.”

Jiang Sheng’s heart ached again.

Just as he was about to say something, Ye Hua came in with breakfast and interrupted the awkward atmosphere between the two.

“President, the breakfast you ordered is ready,” Ye Hua said as he placed the breakfast on the bed. He looked at his watch and continued, “You have a meeting with the Pei Corporation at ten o’clock later.”

When Jiang Sheng heard this, he didn’t say anything else. He nodded and politely said goodbye to Liang Yan before turning around and leaving with Ye Hua.

The ward returned to silence.

Liang Yan did not want to stay here any longer. Just as she was about to pull out the needle, her phone suddenly rang crazily. Several messages popped up.

Liang Yan frowned and opened the phone interface to check. Her face suddenly turned pale.

It was from Chu Zhou.

“I didn’t expect you to be so impressive. You couldn’t hook up with President Pei, but you actually hooked up with Jiang Sheng.”

“But don’t you know? Jiang Sheng and the second daughter of the Chen family has an engagement.”

“You’ve completely offended Pei Yu now.”

There was also a photo of Jiang Sheng carrying her into the hospital.

Liang Yan sent a message with trembling hands. “Who took this?”

“I happened to have an underling take a photo at the hospital last night,” Chu Zhou replied quickly. “You don’t want President Pei to know, right?”

Liang Yan gripped her phone tightly, her fingertips turning white. After a long while, she calmed down and replied, “What exactly do you want?”

“What can I do? You’re my darling. As long as you’re obedient in the next three days, I’ll delete this photo. I won’t touch your friend either, understand?”

Seeing this message, Liang Yan was so angry that she wanted to tear Chu Zhou apart. However, she forced herself to calm down and replied, “I will be obedient.”
