Domination of the Aristocratic Dynasty After a Body Swap with the CEO

Chapter 153: Cure the Sick Before it’s too Late



Chapter 153

Zhong Ruanxing's skirt from yesterday had been washed clean and ironed by the servants, then delivered to her room. After she finished washing up, Song JinXing took her downstairs for breakfast.

The person who was reluctant to get out of bed earlier was now getting anxious, "I have to hurry back before the livestream starts, or the program team will find out that I sneaked out for the night."

Song JinXing poured her a glass of milk, "Do you have enough supplies and ingredients?"

Zhong Ruanxing waved her hands repeatedly, "I won't take anything this time, or it'll be hard to explain to them!"

He laughed softly and tilted his head to say something in French to the butler waiting nearby. The butler nodded and left, then came back carrying a large parcel.

Song JinXing said, "This is an inflatable boat that can be used immediately after inflation. Take it back with you."

Last night, Zhong Ruanxing had just told him that they were collecting materials to build a raft to salvage supplies from the sea. Yet today, he was giving her an inflatable boat. This blatant cheating would surely infuriate the program team if they found out.

Zhong Ruanxing only spared a second to feel apologetic towards the program team for accepting such a timely gift. Then she happily accepted it.

With this, her fellow castmates will surely sing her praises when she brings it back!

After breakfast, Song JinXing sent her back to base. Taking the shortest route and riding the shuttle to the transit station saved a lot of time.

When Zhong Ruanxing saw the base's lights, the guests inside were still asleep and the staff had not arrived yet.

She took the inflatable boat from Song JinXing, "I'll head back now."

Song JinXing nodded, then asked again, "What time does the livestream end tonight?"

Zhong Ruanxing replied, "Usually 9pm. Why?" She looked at him coyly, "I definitely can't sneak out to find you again tonight!"

Song JinXing smiled, "No need. Rest well tonight." He bent down slightly to look directly at her eyes, "Work hard today. After you finish work tonight, I'll send you a gift."

With just one sentence, he made her burst with anticipation.

Her steps back to base were extremely light.

But that lightness instantly disappeared when she saw the figure up ahead.

Cheng Yaowen's lips curled up as he stood under the eaves. His smiling face seemed probing, and his normally cold gaze seemed to nail her in place, sending a chill down Zhong Ruanxing's spine.

The moment her smile faded, she pretended not to see him and quickly walked towards the female guests' room.

Cheng Yaowen suddenly called out to her, "Little junior sister."

Zhong Ruanxing's footsteps halted as she heard his murmur, "The island owner of this island is surnamed Song, right?"

She paused, then turned to face him. It wasn't that she was afraid of being exposed, but she wanted to know what this person was up to.

Cheng Yaowen walked towards her two steps. Seeing her immediately become guarded, he smiled helplessly and stopped where he was, "You know I don't mean you any harm."

Zhong Ruanxing raised her brows, "How would I know that?"

Cheng Yaowen looked at her, "I apologize for what my mother did before. That wasn't my intention."

Zhong Ruanxing was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, "I really have no interest in playing cat and mouse games with you. Just tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Cheng Yaowen's expression changed.

Zhong Ruanxing's smile faded as she looked at him coldly, "The premise of fair competition is having true feelings. You don't even know what true feelings are, what right do you have to speak of liking someone?" She paused, her gaze towards him revealing ridicule, "And sorry to say, I have virgin complex. Unless you go back and remake yourself, Young Master Cheng can never meet my spouse requirements in this lifetime."

After saying that, she turned and left, ignoring Cheng Yaowen's darkened expression. After taking two steps, she couldn't help but turn back again, her face full of sincerity, "Also, I strongly advise you to see a psychiatrist. I'm not scolding you, it's best to treat illness early."

Cheng Yaowen stood in his original spot, watching her hurried figure. A strange smile floated on his face as he murmured, "So you also know I'm sick."

...

When she returned to the room, Bai Yinyue and Yong Yun were already awake. They vaguely heard voices outside but didn't catch what was said since it wasn't loud.

Seeing Zhong Ruanxing walk in, Bai Yinyue frowned and asked, "I heard Cheng Yaowen's voice, was he bothering you again?"

Zhong Ruanxing squatted down to unpack the inflatable boat parcel, "Just a small problem."

Yong Yun and Bai Yinyue walked over, a little surprised, "What's this?"

Zhong Ruanxing winked at them, "Inflatable boat."

The two showed incredulous expressions, "Where did you get it?"

Zhong Ruanxing smiled mysteriously.

Half an hour later, the director group was dumbfounded at the inflatable boat in the yard, fully inflated and ready to launch into the sea. They asked the same question.

Zhong Ruanxing said with a straight face, "You probably won't believe me if I told you." She blinked innocently at the camera, "I found this inflatable boat while morning exercising in the woods this morning."

Damn found it!

A brand new inflatable boat with the plastic smell still not faded! At least come up with a slightly more believable excuse for wanting to fool us!

Director Yan gritted his teeth, "We're confiscating this, it can't be used."

Zhong Ruanxing exclaimed in shock, "Director, how can you not follow your own rules? Didn't you say we could freely use any supplies found in the woods? Although this inflatable boat is quite new and good, and very useful, it's the same as those junk I previously found. They're all picked up!"

Director Yan was confused by her convincing acting and began doubting himself, "You really just found it?"

Zhong Ruanxing righteously stated, "Of course! I don't have superpowers. Aside from picking things up, how else could I obtain supplies on this island?"

The director group didn't consider the island owner at all.

After all, the island owner had just angrily expelled a guest yesterday!

Even someone as shameless as Zhong Ruanxing wouldn't dare ask the island owner for help now, right?

Director Yan was half believing and half suspicious. Faced with her beautiful and sincere gaze, he finally compromised, "Fine, we'll consider this as you finding it, but don't let it happen again!"

Zhong Ruanxing smiled, "Why would you say that? If I get lucky and find something nice again next time, surely I can't reject it?" She helplessly flicked her hair and blinked at the camera, "Oh well, too lucky for my own good, nothing I can do."
