Chapter 44: No sooner had one wave subsided than another arose

Ling Hanyu listened to Song Yinyin’s suggestive words and felt somewhat dissatisfied. Upon further reflection, he realized that she had always been quick to make assumptions and ask leading questions before.

For example, whenever he was in a bad mood, she would thoughtfully inquire, “Jiefu, did Sister upset you again? Don’t take it to heart—she just has a bad temper; she’s been spoiled by Father, and so on.”

At first, every time Ling Hanyu heard Song Yinyin say this, he thought she was incredibly gentle and considerate. But now, he increasingly felt that she was deliberately trying to steer the conversation, because each time she asked like that, even if Ling Hanyu hadn’t been angry with Song Qingtian to begin with, he would grow even more resentful toward her.

Thinking of this, Ling Hanyu’s gaze toward Song Yinyin turned rather disdainful.

“There’s nothing unpleasant going on. I’m going out for a walk.”

With that, Ling Hanyu strode out the door, his long legs measuring a full 1.2 meters. Sensing Ling Hanyu’s displeasure, Song Yinyin figured it must be because he’d discovered last time that she’d slipped him a drug.

She decided she had to clear up the matter once and for all. With Song Qingtian not around, she could simply pin the whole thing on herself!

With this in mind, Song Yinyin immediately ran after him.

“Jiefu! Are you mad at me because of what happened last time? Let me explain!”

Ling Hanyu shot Song Yinyin a cryptic glance, then nodded, clearly eager to hear how she would defend herself.

Seeing Ling Hanyu’s look, Song Yinyin bit her lip, her anger toward Song Qingtian boiling over. After all, Ling Hanyu had never looked at her like this before!

He clearly hated her now!

“Last time, it was Sister who came to me. She said she wanted to give you to me, so…”

Song Yinyin habitually left half the story unsaid, letting Ling Hanyu fill in the blanks. But this time, Ling Hanyu didn’t fall into her trap. Instead, he asked, “So you slipped me a drug, planning to be with your own jiefu?”

Ling Hanyu deliberately emphasized the words ‘drug’ and ‘jiefu,’ and Song Yinyin’s eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t believe Ling Hanyu would actually humiliate her like this.

“It’s not like that! I refused, but she still slipped me the drug. She was only trying to make you misunderstand me. Look—aren’t you disgusted with me now? Hanyu, you know I love you so much; how could I ever hurt you!”

After she finished speaking, seeing that Ling Hanyu remained silent, she pressed on:

“Hanyu, you know—it was always meant to be just the two of us…”

Song Yinyin was about to continue, but Ling Hanyu cut her off.

“Don’t bring up things like that again.”

With that, Ling Hanyu turned and walked on. Song Yinyin tried to catch up, but Ling Hanyu shot her a cold glare, and she reluctantly stepped back.

Fuming, Song Yinyin returned to the Living room. A little while later, she saw Song Qingtian descending, her eyes red from crying. Song Qingtian went straight up to Song Yinyin and said in a hushed voice:

“Come with me. I have something to tell you.”

Seeing Song Qingtian’s expression, Song Yinyin felt a vague sense of unease. Could it be that this fool had finally caught on and just gone to complain to Song Pingzhao?

Without waiting for Song Yinyin to respond, Song Qingtian headed straight for the study on the second floor. Song Pingzhao was keeping an eye on Nuonuo, and there were some things she didn’t want him to overhear.

Song Yinyin snorted and followed her. For now, she couldn’t afford to fall out with Song Qingtian.

The two entered the study, where Song Qingtian sat down in the main chair behind the desk, exuding an aura of authority.

“I’ve already told Father that I want a divorce from Ling Hanyu. As for the rest, you’ll just have to fend for yourself. I bought you a few books on how to woo a CEO—here, take them.”
