Chapter 45: He’s Here Again, Wearing a Green Hat

Song Qingtian thought the voice sounded very familiar, but she couldn’t immediately figure out who it was.

Then a man burst in—none other than the adulterous lover Song Yinyin had arranged for her earlier: Zheng Boheng!

Zheng Boheng had been having a terrible time lately; he’d lost money gambling and was at his wits’ end when he suddenly received a call from Song Yinyin. She gave him an address and told him to come over and continue playing the role of Song Qingtian’s lover.

Zheng Boheng had only met Ling Hanyu before and found that man quite intimidating. If he hadn’t lost so much money recently, he definitely wouldn’t have taken this job.

“Unless it’s ten thousand, I’m not going,” he said.

“But didn’t we agree on a fee of one thousand? Now you’re asking for two thousand—talk about being greedy! Want to come or not?” Song Yinyin knew Zheng Boheng’s nature all too well, and her tone carried a hint of impatience. Sure enough, Zheng Boheng fell for it and quickly tried to sweet-talk her.

“Alright, alright, two thousand it is. Just transfer the money first, then give me the address, and I promise I’ll make a stunning entrance.”

Song Yinyin watched as Zheng Boheng charged straight in and pounced on Song Qingtian, thrilled beyond measure. She felt the extra thousand she’d spent was totally worth it—the way Zheng Boheng made his entrance was truly spectacular.

But she couldn’t let on; she merely wore an expression of surprise.

“Mr. Zheng… why have you come straight to my house? Are you here to see Sister?”

At first, Song Pingzhao and the others weren’t sure who this man was or why he’d barged in looking for Song Qingtian. But now that Song Yinyin had asked such a vague question, everyone understood.

Song Pingzhao recalled what Song Qingtian had just said to him: Could it be that their daughter had fallen for someone else and was planning to divorce him? Still, this man looked utterly unimpressive—sobbing and whining, far inferior even to Ling Hanyu. It seemed highly unlikely, so he frowned and shot Zheng Boheng a cold look.

“Who are you?”

Zheng Boheng was thrown off by Song Pingzhao’s question, but when he saw a faint resemblance between this man and Song Qingtian, he instantly hatched a plan.

“Uncle, hello! You must be Qingtian’s father, right? Qingtian told me before that you two are very close and that you really adore her.”

Upon hearing this, Song Pingzhao knew full well that Zheng Boheng was probably an impostor—maybe sent by one of Ling Hanyu’s admirers to deliberately cause trouble. Just as he was about to scold him, Song Qingtian spoke up.

“Boheng, how did you end up at our house? Didn’t I tell you we can only meet in private?”

When Song Qingtian said this, everyone except her was shocked. She looked smugly at their reactions, especially at Ling Hanyu, whose cool demeanor dropped several degrees.

Song Sisi, meanwhile, was a bit dazed by Song Qingtian’s bold move. She tried to gather her thoughts and suddenly realized that either Song Qingtian was courting disaster—or she really did want a divorce.

Zheng Boheng was also taken aback by Song Qingtian’s words, but he recovered quickly and put on a deeply affectionate act, gazing at her.

“But I miss you so much—I just can’t help myself. If I don’t see you, I’ll die!”

Song Qingtian was sickened by his heartfelt confession, yet she could only pretend to be moved.

“Boheng, you’ve risked your life for me—I’m truly touched. Trust me, I’ll get divorced soon, and then we can finally live happily together.”

“Mommy! Are you abandoning me?”

After Nuonuo said this, she burst into tears. Seeing her cry, Ling Hanyu’s mood grew even worse, his eyes darkening like a brewing snowstorm.
