Chapter 23 (2/2)

She suddenly realized that she didn’t know the original owner that well. Tang Tang needed to know what the original owner was good and bad at. Otherwise, she could easily expose herself in the future.

Thinking up to this point, Tang Tang swiftly stood up and started to search around her bedroom. She wanted to look at what the original owner had left behind to find out more information.

Unfortunately, she didn’t find anything useful even after searching through the room a couple of times. Tang Tang didn’t know if the things she was looking for were hidden securely.

Seeing that Tang Tang was constantly moving around, Xiao Zhuo got curious and asked, “What are you doing, mummy? What are you looking for?”

Tang Tang didn’t know what she was looking for. “Mummy is looking for mummy’s old things. I can’t remember where I put them.”

Ji Xiao Zhuo blinked. Then he looked at Tang Tang before turning around and dashing off. He soon came back with a large envelope and passed it to Tang Tang, “For you, mummy.”

Tang Tang didn’t understand, “What’s this?” Ji Xiao Zhuo poured everything out onto the bed and replied, “These are the things mummy threw away. Grandma Li picked them back and said that these things couldn’t be thrown away.”

Hearing that it was the original owner who threw them away, Tang Tang immediately took a look at the things. The first thing that caught her attention was a red book, which on the cover said ‘People’s Republic Of China Marriage Certificate.’ She opened the booklet and saw a picture of her and Ji Yan together.

It was actually her marriage certificate! Tang Tang knew that this little red book was her version of the marriage letter. It was something that proved that a couple was married. She didn’t expect the original owner to throw away such an important thing. No wonder she had never seen it in her room before.

Heavens, it would be gone now if Aunt Li hadn’t picked it up.

Tang Tang was feeling extremely grateful to Aunt Li. Luckily she had picked it up. Tang Tang put it away carefully and decided that from now on, she will never lose it.

Once she finished looking at the marriage certificate, Tang Tang continued looking at the other things. Apart from a ring, there were a few other certificates that she didn’t understand. She would need to investigate later on.

The final item had a large blue cover that also attracted her attention because the title said it was a graduation certificate from A University.

Tang Tang knew about A University. It was a remarkable university that was probably equivalent to the imperial academy from her time. It was a university that all the students wanted to attend, and it required a really good score in the entrance exams to get accepted into the university.

Tang Tang didn’t expect that the original owner had attended university and that she even attended such a good school. Tang Tang had thought that the original owner was useless. It seemed she was wrong.

Quickly opening the cover, Tang Tang saw that there was a piece of paper inside. It had Tang Tang’s name on it as well as the art department clothing design major.

After studying it for a long time, Tang Tang still couldn’t understand it, so she ended up asking Ji Xiao Zhuo, “Bao Bao, what’s the art department and clothing design major?”

Ji Xiao Zhuo blinked. He became stunned because he also didn’t know.

Fortunately, Ji Xiao Zhuo had a good habit, which was asking someone if he didn’t understand something, so he called for help again. This time, he called Zhuo Ji for help. Zhuo Ji assumed that Xiao Zhuo was just curious as a child, so he seriously explained it to Xiao Zhuo.

While Zhuo Ji was explaining, Tang Tang was also listening along with Xiao Zhuo. Once the explanation ended, her eyes brightened, and she wanted to roll around the bed just like Xiao Zhuo does at times.

It turned out that the original owner had studied something related to making clothes. So that means that the original owner knew how to make clothes, which was equivalent to knowing needlework. Tang Tang didn’t need to pretend that she didn’t know how to do embroidery. She could carry on using the two skills that she was only good at!

The heavens were looking after her. Tang Tang felt very grateful to the heavens, but she was even more thankful to the original owner. She was thankful that the original owner had learned clothing design!

Since it was like this, she could make a pair of shoes for Ji Yue. Even though it wasn’t worth much, it was the best thing that Tang Tang could give at the moment.

After learning such a piece of useful information, Tang Tang felt herself relax. As she was in a good mood, she now had the effort to study all the skincare products Ji Yue sent. Tang Tang wondered if these creams were effective so she could be pretty like Ji Yue. As she remembered Ji Yue’s fair and tender skin as well as her graceful long hair, Tang Tang’s heart became restless. She couldn’t wait to try these products.

Because her injuries on her face still required ointment, Tang Tang couldn’t try the skincare products yet. She could only try the products for hair care. It was important to look after hair as well as her face. Tang Tang couldn’t accept having her hair looking like dry grass.

On that night, Tang Tang used the hair care products that Ji Yue gave her and treated her hair. It included washing, applying, and wrapping her hair. The process took about two hours long. Even Ji Xiao Zhuo, who was watching, almost couldn’t endure and thought women were scary.

Tang Tang didn’t find the process troublesome, instead, she was happy. When the treatment was completed, she didn’t know if it was just a psychological illusion but Tang Tang thought her hair looked a bit better.

Whether or not it was just a psychological thing, Tang Tang had hope that she could become beautiful.

Tang Tang had a dream that night. She became a real beauty in her dream with a slim body, flowing long soft hair, fair skin, and an outstanding temperament while wearing a white dress looking like a fairy.

Ji Xiao Zhuo was stunned as he stared at her. He forgot about the snacks in his hands and ran towards her. He hugged her legs while praising, “Mummy, you’re very pretty ~” Tang Tang smiled shyly as she bent down to give the little one a kiss, “Thank you, Bao Bao.”

Then Ji Yan, who was wearing his uniform, walked in. When he saw Tang Tang, in a white dress, he was stunned. His gaze never left her as something flashed across his eyes. It took him some time to confirm the woman was his wife. Slowly, he walked towards her as he touched her face with his hand and murmured, “Tang Tang, you’re beautiful.”

Tang Tang was so shy she didn’t dare to look at him while her face became as red as peach blossoms.

Ji Yan’s mind became scattered as he stared at Tang Tang’s beauty. He unconsciously moved closer to kiss her.

Tang Tang felt her toes curl and a laugh escaped from her lips.

“Mummy! Mummy! Quickly wake up! Grandpa sun is shining!”

Tang Tang was awake from the shake and a loud shout. She opened her eyes and saw Ji Xiao Zhuo’s face from close up. The little one was frowning as he looked at her.

“What’s wrong, Bao Bao?” Tang Tang murmured the question as she was still a bit dazed.

Seeing Tang Tang was awake, Ji Xiao Zhuo breathed with relief. He threw himself into Tang Tang’s embrace. “I was so worried, mummy. You were laughing in your sleep. It was so scary. Did you have a nightmare, mummy? But shouldn’t one be crying if it was a nightmare?”

Tang Tang froze. She immediately remembered her dream and blushed. She felt so embarrassed that she didn’t want to see anyone and stammered a reply, “No … Mummy didn’t have a nightmare.”

Ji Xiao Zhuo touched Tang Tang’s forehead and said, “Mummy, why is your face so red, do you have a fever?”

Enduring her embarrassment, Tang Tang waved her hand, “No, no, no, mummy doesn’t have a fever. I’m just feeling a bit warm. I’ll be fine after a while.”

Ji Xiao Zhuo relaxed and gave Tang Tang a gentle kiss before jumping off the bed and dashing to the bathroom. “Mummy, I’m going to brush my teeth now so get up soon.”

Only when Xiao Zhuo’s shadow was no longer in sight, Tang Tang screamed silently as she put her hands on her face. She felt so ashamed. She actually dreamed about Ji Yan doing such things to her and .. and… Ah ah ah! Why was she so shameless!

There was a saying that if one kept thinking about something, they would dream about it. Could it be that she actually wanted … Pah! That was not true. Her brain must be temporarily broken to be dreaming stuff like that. Tang Tang immediately stopped herself from thinking about it. Instead, she quickly got off her bed and did her morning routine before going to the kitchen to make breakfast. She would fill up Xiao Zhuo and her stomach.
