Chapter 259 – To easily disclose her biggest secret to him, she really didn’t want to do it, and she didn’t dare to do it (3)
Ruan Xia glanced at Song Tingshen and said, “It looks like you really are feeling bad about something. Let’s talk about it. It’s not a solution to keep to yourself what’s bothering you. You’ll feel better if you let it out. Although I can’t give you any advice, you can pour out what’s bothering you to me. I’ll keep it a secret.”
After Song Tingshen finished drinking honey water, he was silent for a while. He didn’t know if he should tell her and if he could accept the result of saying his doubts aloud. Or in other words, he didn’t know what kind of truth he could accept.
If she really had an intimate relationship with Qin Yu, Song Tingshen couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t mind at all. Maybe knowing that would be like a thorn. It wouldn’t hurt too much, but he would never be able to forget it. He didn’t want that to happen.
It was at this time that he realized he wasn’t as magnanimous as he had imagined. He would mind, he would mind a lot.
If there had been nothing between her and Qin Yu, and he asked her about it, would she think that he didn’t trust her enough? Otherwise, why would he be affected so much by the words of an unimportant person?
Despite the long silence, Ruan Xia patiently waited for Song Tingshen’s answer. Actually, she didn’t even know herself if she wanted Song Tingshen to tell her or continue to keep it to himself.
Regardless, she knew that if they didn’t resolve this matter, then she and Song Tingshen wouldn’t be able to move past it. Although this move of Qin Yu’s was a lowly trick, it was very effective.
Song Tingshen didn’t say anything. Ruan Xia simply got up after waiting for a while.
Just as she got up, he reached out to stop her.
“I’ll say it.”
If he wanted them to have a future, then she and him had to pass this hurdle together. In the following decades, who knows if an even bigger crisis would appear? If they can’t even pass this hurdle, then any discussion of a future together or growing old together was futile.
Ruan Xia sat back down. “Go on, I’m listening.”
“Remember Friday night? I lied. I didn’t go to the bathroom. I left the room with Qin Yu,” Song Tingshen said this slowly and seriously, “I guessed that the reason why you resigned and asked me to cooperate with you in putting on an act on the island is related to Qin Yu. When he asked me to step out for a talk, I wanted to make it clear to him. It’s just...”
He paused, looking as if he was having a hard time speaking about it.
“He told me that I didn’t know you at all and that you and him were the ones that had the closest relationship.” Song Tingshen wryly chuckled. “He also told me you have a mole on the left side of your waist and that you have a scar behind your ear. I didn’t know any of that. Logically speaking, I should verify those things before believing him, but I can tell that he was telling the truth.”
He and Ruan Xia were husband and wife in name, and they should have the closest relationship. And yet, he didn’t know any of the marks or scars on her body. He didn’t know what colors she liked either. And yet, another man knew these things. For a man, wasn’t finding this out the biggest psychological blow and irony?
Ruan Xia expressed that she really couldn’t find anything to say to that.
Although she had guessed that Qin Yu must have said something, when her guess was confirmed by Song Tingshen, she wanted to curse out Qin Yu. What kind of man was he?
Even on the unlikely chance she had something with Duan Chi, that little idiot, she would never be with Qin Yu, that disgusting scheming jerk!
Ruan Xia softly said, “Song Tingshen, if I curse, will that affect the perfect image you have of me?”
