Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’re still laughing!” Chen Ying slapped her on the shoulder. “I… I found him on a dating website! He looked good in his photos, cultured and refined, so I arranged to meet him. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
He’s just a photo scammer!” Now, she couldn’t deceive Shen Qingyue anymore. After all, her parents would never arrange a blind date with a man like this for her.
Shen Qingyue didn’t tease her anymore and asked, “Why did you suddenly decide to go on a blind date? And why are you in such a rush that you found someone online?”
Chen Ying hesitated, avoiding eye contact. She could not just say that she kept having those dreams about Chen Song, and not long ago, he had even promised to take responsibility for her. She knew there was someone else in Chen Song’s heart, but his decision to be responsible must mean something. Besides, he had been living with their family for a long time, even though he was not registered as a household member. Chen Song had always felt indebted, and now with this situation, it would tie him to the Chen family completely.
Because of all this, she did not want to ruin Chen Song’s life with her drunken indiscretion. So, she urgently wanted to find someone suitable for marriage, so she and Chen Song could finally part ways. “I suddenly felt that I’m not getting any younger…”
Shen Qingyue deadpanned, “You’re 25.”
“That’s pretty old too. People my age are already having children…” Chen Ying
said this with such obvious guilt.
Shen Qingyue was about to ask more questions when a man named Leng Shiji caught up to them. He had a beaming smile and was very enthusiastic. “Miss
Chen, I just called my mom, and she’s quite satisfied with you in every aspect. How about we arrange a meeting between our parents?”
Chen Ying had to admit that she had encountered strange people before, but she had never met anyone quite like this man. How could he be so confident? Did he think that a simple nod from him would make her go along with it?
Chen Ying’s temper was not one to tolerate such behavior, and she was about to retort when someone behind her suddenly picked her up from the waist.
In her ear, the man spoke with his usual gentle and soothing voice, “Excuse me, sir, what are you saying to my girlfriend?”
Leng Shiji froze. “Are you her boyfriend? Are you kidding me?”
Chen Song wore a mild and humble smile on his face. “Do I look like I’m kidding?”
Leng Shiji froze, “You’re her boyfriend? Are you kidding?”
Chen Song’s face bore a gentle and humble smile, “Do I look like I’m kidding to you?”
Seeing him blocking Chen Ying, and Chen Ying not refusing, Leng Shiji couldn’t help but curse, “Are you all crazy? You already have partners, yet you’re here for a blind date? Are you playing with me?” He took a step forward angrily.
The bodyguards following Chen Song weren’t there for decoration either and promptly stepped forward.
Leng Shiji was intimidated. He tried to put on a tough front, “You think you’re all that just because you have more people? If there were fewer of you, I’d definitely make you regret this!” But his speed in running away was faster than anyone else’s. He threw off the friends he had brought with him.
His friends were all wondering: So, am I a scapegoat?
From the moment Chen Song held Chen Ying in his arms, she stiffened, not daring to move a muscle. Their breaths intertwined at close range, and suddenly, she recalled the passion of that night.
Chen Song bent down, resting his chin on her shoulder. His breath was gentle but subtly carried a hint of danger. “You said you would seriously consider…
and the result is sneaking behind my back for a blind date? And you found such a person?”
Chen Ying did not answer; she just fled in disarray.
But it was clear to everyone that she was very afraid of Chen Song now.
Shen Qingyue walked up to Chen Song, “What happened between you and Ying
Ying? She’s acting so strangely; something’s not right.”
Chen Ying used to avoid Chen Song occasionally, but it was always when she caused trouble. It had never been like this, running away in such panic.
Chen Song looked at Chen Ying’s figure disappearing around the corner before withdrawing his gaze. He then said, “The night Tang Fangmo threw a celebration for you, she got drunk.”
Shen Oingvue had a guess in her mind. and her eves Questioned him.
Chen Song directly confirmed it and nodded, but there was a hint of loneliness in his expression. “After that day, I told her I would take responsibility, but she completely refused to get close to me.”
Shen Qingyue was somewhat surprised. “So you changed your strategy?”
She thought Chen Song would continue to silently stay by Chen Ying’s side, continuing to be her knight as in the previous life.
Chen Song gave a bitter smile. “I overestimated my self-control.”
He and Chen Ying had already slept together. Once the floodgates of desire were opened, they could not be closed again. Having and not having were entirely different. Thinking about her doing the same thing with other men made him crazy with jealousy, a feeling of wanting to destroy and possess her surrounded him.
After careful consideration, he decided not to suppress himself any longer. In the past, he stubbornly held onto the idea of waiting for Chen Ying to marry and have children before returning the Chen family’s assets to her. But now, he had different intentions. He wanted to establish a company that belonged entirely to him. He did not want to let go anymore..
