System 250 really can’t figure out the host’s temper, so it finally shut up, feeling a bit wronged.

With the villa as motivation, Cheng Leyan became even more attentive to matters concerning Rong Wangzhi. Especially when it involved physical contact with Rong Wangzhi, he preferred to do it himself whenever possible. 

Mainly because, the Sugar Daddy’s abs were so beautiful, what if the caregiver touched them inappropriately! He was thinking of his husband, after all, 419 said he was a 0, so he couldn’t let others take advantage. 

Anyway, since “abs” were a buff, he decided to wait until the buff disappeared before handing it over to the caregiver.

419: [You think everyone is like you, touching abs and not letting go.]

Cheng Leyan: [System Father, you say that because you haven’t touched them. If you could, you wouldn’t let go either.]

The whole day was busy with Rong Wangzhi and accompanying Zhuozhuo, quite hectic, even Butler Li nodded repeatedly, secretly reporting to Madam that the Young Mistress’s salary could be increased.

In the evening, as usual, Cheng Leyan read picture books with Zhuozhuo. Today, they started with “The Magic Kiss.”

It was all to protect Rong Wangzhi’s abs—no, no, it was to help Zhuozhuo and Rong Wangzhi become more familiar and closer, to cultivate their father-son bond, so the location for reading the picture book was moved to Rong Wangzhi’s room.

Butler Li found a thick carpet and laid it in front of Rong Wangzhi’s bed. Cheng Leyan sat on the carpet with Zhuozhuo, reading the picture book together.

The story was simple, about a little raccoon going to kindergarten but not wanting to be separated from its raccoon mom. The raccoon mom took the little raccoon’s hand and left a kiss in its palm. Mom said it was a “magic kiss,” with magical power, carrying mom’s love, always accompanying the little raccoon. When missing mom, open the palm and press the magic kiss on the face to feel mom’s love.

After the story, Cheng Leyan left a magic kiss in Zhuozhuo’s palm and said, “Baby, can stepfather tell you a secret? But this secret is just for the two of us, you can’t tell Grandma or Butler Li, okay?”

Zhuozhuo was a bit confused, thought for a moment, and then solemnly nodded.

Cheng Leyan said, “Today, I talked to your dad.”

Zhuozhuo’s eyes lit up suddenly, grabbing Cheng Leyan’s hand excitedly.

Cheng Leyan quickly said, “No, it’s not that he woke up, it’s… um… I have to keep it a secret. Anyway, I’m not lying to you, I talked to him. Your dad asked me to pass on a message to you.”

“Zhuozhuo, baby, he wants me to tell you that he loves you. He will definitely wake up soon to be with you as you grow up.”

Cheng Leyan held Zhuozhuo’s hand, closing the palm with the “magic kiss” he just left, and said, “Baby, this is the magic kiss I left for you on behalf of your dad. When you miss him, remember, your dad loves you.”

Zhuozhuo clenched his hand tightly, as if afraid the “magic kiss” would fly away once he opened his palm.

His eyes were red, filled with tears.

The little one stood up, ran to Rong Wangzhi’s bedside, opened the other’s pale hand, and left a kiss in the palm.

He loved dad too.

This was the magic kiss he gave to dad.

He hoped this kiss really had magic, so dad could feel his love, and dad could wake up soon.

The little one sincerely hoped so.

From the moment Cheng Leyan started telling the story, Rong Wangzhi regained consciousness. He listened to Cheng Leyan narrate the warm, loving story, heard Cheng Leyan say, “Your dad loves you forever,” heard it all.

Rong Wangzhi was filled with infinite complex emotions.

He was a vegetative state, he shouldn’t have feelings, but he did, he seemed to feel the kiss Zhuozhuo left in his palm, carrying warmth, penetrating the skin and merging into his body. And he wanted to clench his hand.

The kiss really had magic.

In a place where the little one and Cheng Leyan couldn’t see, Rong Wangzhi’s fingertips moved very slightly.

.

The next morning, Cheng Leyan had Butler Li take Zhuozhuo to a speech therapy class, while he went to complete the task assigned by the Sugar Daddy, to pass a message to Fang Yin, the person in charge at Xingrong Manor.

Afraid he wouldn’t meet the person, he also asked Assistant Chen from Mama Rong to help schedule a time.

Fang Yin gave Assistant Chen face, and Cheng Leyan met him smoothly. But the other party had a sour face, acting all high and mighty, and rudely asked, “What do you want?”

Cheng Leyan said, “I heard you guys are having some difficulties now, I have a message for you.”

Fang Yin sneered, “Difficulties? What difficulties? We’re on a roll, no difficulties at all! Where did you hear this gossip, and you actually believe it.”

Cheng Leyan: “…Bro, don’t speak too soon, be careful not to get slapped in the face.”

Fang Yin glanced at him, mocking, “No, Cheng Leyan, you really think I don’t know your situation? You’re just someone our President Rong’s mom grabbed in desperation, taken advantage of by a scammer! You don’t really think you’re our President Rong’s wife, do you? Does our President Rong even know who you are!? Stop pretending, have some dignity.”

Cheng Leyan wasn’t angry, just smiled slightly, with a mysterious look, and said, “I know about the Halloween incident three years ago.”

Fang Yin: …

Fang Yin: …………

He staggered, almost kneeling, his face colorful, like a palette knocked over.

In short, a minute later, he was all smiles, inviting Cheng Leyan to sit, making tea, handing it over with both hands, smiling obsequiously, “Sister-in-law, oh, sorry about earlier, my bad, my bad. You see, this is just a misunderstanding, a family misunderstanding! President Rong too, he told you about that, you, you, sister-in-law, just forget it.”

Cheng Leyan didn’t take the tea, said, “Hmm, I will definitely forget what happened on Halloween three years ago, and I definitely won’t tell anyone about it, not even in my sleep.”

Fang Yin’s smile almost cracked, he playfully slapped his own face, said bitterly, “Sister-in-law, I really didn’t know before. My fault, my fault, it’s my loose tongue, if you’re still mad, how about I kneel and apologize?”

Cheng Leyan chuckled. He said, “Alright, let’s talk business. I came today mainly to tell you, six years ago, there was an ID called ‘Phantom’ who provided great help to the then young Designer Zeng, that person was Wangzhi. How about it, enough to solve your problem this time?”

Fang Yin’s eyes lit up, slapping his thigh, “More than enough! Sister-in-law, you even know this! Alright, this is settled, Teacher Zeng’s side will definitely be fine! As expected, such important work still needs our President Rong to step in—along with our sister-in-law!”

Cheng Leyan: “Stop with the ‘sister-in-law’ stuff. I was once online friends with Wangzhi, we had a good relationship, so I know some things.”

Fang Yin: “You know about the Halloween incident, you’re definitely my sister-in-law! Not just online friends, but online dating, right? Oh my god, I can’t believe it, President Rong actually had an online romance, shocking my whole family! Not that you’re not good, sister-in-law, mainly President Rong is always so busy, you know he has a nickname ‘work machine,’ he can do the work of six people alone, I actually suspect he doesn’t sleep at night, so where did he find time to chat online? But is this the daily life of excellent people? Our President Rong is really excellent, let me tell you…”

This person started babbling. Turns out he’s a chatterbox too.

Cheng Leyan couldn’t help but find it amusing.

But from this person’s words, he pieced together an image of a cold, taciturn, strong, and serious “work machine.”

Thinking about it, it’s a bit hard to connect with President Rong’s appearance.

After all, he had seen the other’s pouty lips, long lashes, big eyes like Kazilan, and that one beautiful tear.

Of course, can’t forget those well-toned abs.

Oops, thinking about abs again… Cheng Leyan quickly pushed the image out of his mind, his cheeks reddening a bit, casually looking away.

He chatted with Fang Yin for a while, listened to some stories about Rong Wangzhi’s past, then said goodbye. Fang Yin insisted on treating him to a meal another day, and said he wanted to visit Rong Wangzhi at home, and personally saw him off, all the way to the car.

Cheng Leyan then went to Zilang Lake Villa, familiarized himself with the situation inside, so he wouldn’t be caught off guard when talking to Rong Papa and Mama Rong later. Checking the time, it was almost noon, so he quickly drove home.

The first thing he did upon returning was hug Zhuozhuo, asking about the little one’s morning class. The second thing was to put Zhuozhuo down and rush to Rong Wangzhi.

Then he couldn’t wait to unbutton Rong Wangzhi’s shirt.

He stood there in disbelief.

After looking back and forth for a long time, he couldn’t help but reach out to confirm, touching everywhere, finally exclaiming in disbelief, “What’s going on, husband, where are your abs? Where did my husband’s abs go!?”

“Gone… really gone!”

Saying this, he couldn’t help but feel sad, “What, really gone! So fast they’re gone!! How could this happen! I clearly rushed home, clearly tried so hard, but still missed it, still gone! Should’ve touched more this morning!!”

The conscious Rong Wangzhi: …………

Why do you sound a bit regretful!?!?

Is that thing really that nice to touch??

How nice is it exactly?

Three seconds later.

Rong Wangzhi: [What’s the big deal, just abs, and fake ones at that, what’s the point.]

Thirty seconds later.

Rong Wangzhi: [I used to have abs too, it’s just because I’ve been lying as a vegetative state for so long that I don’t have them now.]

One minute later.

Rong Wangzhi: [When I wake up, I’ll get my abs back in two months.]

Three minutes later.

Rong Wangzhi: [System, come out. Can your buffs be refreshed repeatedly? Or, can I buy them with points, give me the price.]

System: [??? Do you need something?]
