Chapter 73: Growing Two Legs—Not Without Reason

“Drive!”
A cold, thunderous command.

Song Qingtian was startled.
She looked up and saw Ling Hanyu’s frosty face.
She froze for a moment.
Without a word, she clutched the tissue in her hand and turned her face toward the window on the other side of the car.
In an instant, Ling Hanyu’s expression grew even colder!
Secretary Yang, watching from the back of the car, also found it odd.
Even if Song Qingtian was playing hard to get, this was going too far.
After all, they’d been married for three years—enough time to really get to know someone.
Continuing like this would benefit no one.
“Mr. Ling, are we heading to the office, or should we drop Madam off first?”
“To the office!”
Ling Hanyu did have business to attend to today.
Fortunately, neither of them was dressed conspicuously.
Especially Song Qingtian—she just looked like a professional woman.
Which actually made her more suited to going to the office.
Song Qingtian’s mind was entirely occupied with meeting the Mysterious Big Shot; she hadn’t paid any attention to the conversation between Ling Hanyu and Secretary Yang.
It wasn’t until the car pulled up to the entrance of Ling Hanyu’s company that Song Qingtian realized she’d already arrived.
Looking at the company building, she wanted to stay in the car.
“I’m not getting out—go ahead without me.”
Song Qingtian had no interest in Ling Hanyu’s company; since divorce was inevitable sooner or later, she needed to distance herself from everything related to him.
Actually…
Song Qingtian felt quite frustrated—she seemed to have developed an attachment to Ling Hanyu’s body.
She just couldn’t keep her heart as calm as water.
It truly proved the saying: better to never meet at all!
Thankfully, once Ling Nuonuo was settled, she could leave.

Ling Hanyu stared at Song Qingtian, his eyes like two icy pits, clearly seeing how uncomfortable she was.
“I don’t understand anything, so I’m not going with you.”
Song Qingtian came up with a compromise excuse.
Ling Hanyu got out of the car: “Are you going to get out obediently, or should I find a way to make you?”
Song Qingtian’s face darkened—she couldn’t even pretend to be indifferent.
“I’ll get out myself.”
As Song Qingtian stepped out of the car, her legs were still very inconvenient.
It was easy to get in, but a bit tricky to get out.
Secretary Yang had already prepared the wheelchair, but looking at it, she felt helpless.
Even reaching out to pull her, it was still a bit difficult.
Song Qingtian couldn’t help but sigh: “It seems there’s a reason humans have two legs after all!”
Secretary Yang’s face froze, staring blankly at Song Qingtian.
Meanwhile, Ling Hanyu stood there with a cold expression, bending down to pick up Song Qingtian.
Song Qingtian didn’t hold back either—could she really let Yang Yifan carry her?
But instead of placing her in the wheelchair, Ling Hanyu carried her straight into the company.
Song Qingtian was about to say something when she noticed one of Ling Hanyu’s buttons was undone, and involuntarily swallowed hard.
A swallowing sound echoed in her throat, and Ling Hanyu’s grip tightened.
He looked down at Song Qingtian: “Are you getting frisky again?”
“Ling Hanyu… you… who are you talking about…”
Realizing their words were too explicit, Song Qingtian glanced around nervously, making sure no one was paying attention before finally letting out a sigh.
Yet her face still flushed all the way to her neck.
Ling Hanyu stared at her, his chest burning with heat: “Behave yourself!”
With that, he strode off toward the company entrance.
Secretary Yang locked the car and pushed the wheelchair after him.
Once inside the company, everyone on the ground floor was stunned: the woman Mr. Ling was carrying was…
Not Song Yinyin?
Then who was she?
Ling Hanyu didn’t stop—he carried Song Qingtian all the way to the CEO’s private elevator.
As they entered the elevator, Song Qingtian heard whispers: “Mr. Ling’s brought his new sweetheart!”
Song Qingtian was speechless—here she was, the official CEO’s wife, yet no one recognized her.
She was even worse off than Song Yinyin!
The original female supporting character was not only humble but downright foolish!
Standing in the elevator, Ling Hanyu held Song Qingtian, noticing the displeasure on her face.
He relaxed his grip: “What others say is their business—don’t worry about it!”
“Nice words, but if I were out there flaunting my relationship with someone, openly showing affection, would Mr. Ling handle it so calmly?”
“You wouldn’t dare!”

Their eyes met, and Song Qingtian let out a light laugh.
She turned her face away—if her legs weren’t so inconvenient right now, she’d kick open the elevator and leave.
Ling Hanyu’s expression instantly soured, and he left the elevator, carrying Song Qingtian straight to the CEO’s office.
At that moment, Secretary Yang, riding another elevator, had already pushed the wheelchair up and caught up with Ling Hanyu. He wanted to ask about the upcoming meeting, but before he could, Ling Hanyu snapped at him: “What are you doing? Can’t even do your proper job, yet you’re always gossiping!”
“This…”
Secretary Yang looked utterly innocent.
He instinctively glanced at the woman Ling Hanyu was carrying and only then realized what was going on: “I’ll take care of it right away.”
Secretary Yang was so frightened his face turned pale.
He never imagined that Ling Hanyu’s concern for Song Qingtian would extend to the company itself.
That had never happened since he’d worked with Ling Hanyu.
