Quick Transmigration: The Villainess Is a Sweetheart

Chapter 95

Jiang Yan's health was poor, and the Chen Family and Zhang Xuyun did not want her to have children.

However, Old Master Chen and Madam Chen were always worried that they would have no one to take care of them in the future, so they still wanted to adopt a child for Jiang Yan and Zhang Xuyun. Jiang Yan did not like taking care of children, so Old Master Chen and Madam Chen raised the child for them.

As a result, the child later called Jiang Yan "sister".

The child was already over ten years old when he was brought back, perhaps due to his pitiful background, he was smart and sensible. Zhang Xuyun taught him some business matters from time to time. In fact, he wanted the child to take over his business early on because Jiang Yan's health was poor.

In the beginning, Jiang Yan's health was better, but later she started showing signs of illness and often got sick. Zhang Xuyun wanted to stay at home to accompany her.

For a while, Jiang Yan kept coughing, her throat and stomach hurt from coughing. Although it was just a common cold, she drank countless herbal remedies, but did not get better.

When she was coughing so painfully that it tore her heart and lungs, she covered her eyes with her arms, feeling dazed and wondering whether she should end this world early.

Living with this body was a torment.

But Zhang Xuyun sat by her bedside, his eyes red, staring at her unblinkingly.

He did not know that her death was not real death. He only knew that his cousin was in poor health, constantly sick, and suffering so much that he wanted to die.

Jiang Yan still stayed. She ate bitter medicines every day, drinking herbal remedies these days and taking Western medicines those days...

Her tongue went numb, and the smell of medicine made her want to vomit. Living was so difficult.

But Zhang Xuyun was happy when she took the medicines, and he would carefully kiss her mouth, feeling that his cousin would get better.

Fortunately, that did turn out to be the case. After that major illness and months of bedrest, Jiang Yan gradually became less sick.

By then, it was near the New Year, and a heavy snowfall had occurred outside. Zhang Xuyun sealed the house tightly, not allowing her to go out.

But he went to the kitchen and got a plate, scooping up a large plate of snow from the courtyard.

The adopted child was named Chen Fangyu. Madam Chen asked him to bring the newly made sugar cakes from the front courtyard to his sister.

When Chen Fangyu first saw his usually stern brother-in-law scooping up snow with a plate, he was extremely surprised. Mainly because Chen Fangyu had always seen him as an elderly man, and never expected him to do something so... childlike.

Zhang Xuyun glanced at him indifferently, carrying the plate of snow into the house, and explained, "Your sister wants to play with snow."

"Oh, oh." Chen Fangyu did not dare say anything, and quickly responded with two acknowledgments before following him inside.

The room was heated by a radiant floor heating system, in stark contrast to the temperature outside. Chen Fangyu's sister was bundled up in several layers of clothes, sitting at the round table waiting for the snow.

The sugar cakes and snow arrived together, and Jiang Yan was visibly delighted. But Zhang Xuyun did not let her touch the snow, keeping the plate in his arms, saying he would play with it for her however she wanted.

Jiang Yan looked displeased, wanting to reach out and touch it, but Zhang Xuyun gently slapped her hand away.

Jiang Yan could only eat the hot sugar cakes, and challenged him, "Then make a little rabbit, the kind that eats carrots."

Chen Fangyu sat nervously at one side of the table, invited by Jiang Yan to eat the sugar cakes.

Zhang Xuyun's hands were large and powerful, but he lacked the skill to shape a little rabbit out of snow. He did not resist, using the plate of snow to create an unrecognizable shape. He would sculpt for a while, then glance at his cousin.

Chen Fangyu felt a bit out of place.

The thing Zhang Xuyun shaped made Jiang Yan lean on the table, laughing nonstop. She was wearing thick clothes, looking both clumsy and cute.

As Chen Fangyu was watching his sister laugh, he was suddenly handed a plate. It was from his brother-in-law, who told him to take this unidentifiable thing back and let Old Master Chen and the others have a laugh, saying it was made by his sister.

Chen Fangyu hurriedly got up and went to deliver it, but just before leaving, he saw his brother-in-law taking away the sugar cakes because they were too sweet, and he was afraid Jiang Yan would cough if she ate too much. He also heard his sister complaining angrily, "What you made is ugly, yet you insist on saying I made it?! I haven't even touched the snow..."

Chen Fangyu walked out with a silly smile, but after a while, he realized that there was only endless white snow on the ground and himself, suddenly realizing that his brother-in-law had sent him away.
