Chapter 735: Chapter 735: The Song Family’s Secret (Important)
Before Song Baiyan could join the conversation, she pursed her lips and smiled faintly: “I rember my agreent with the Song Family, if I really wanted to acknowledge the child, I wouldn’t have stayed away all these years.”
With that said, her grip on the teacup tightened, and she looked back at Song Baiyan.
He still looked as she rembered him.
Only, it had been eight years since he last wore the camouflage uniform. Now sitting across from her in a shirt and suit, having been honed for many years in the political arena, he seed more stable and restrained.
When she saw the news of Song Baiyan’s election victory, she couldn’t describe how she felt.
That’s why she sought the position as an accompanying translator this ti.
Years ago, in the living room of Song’s Mansion.
She nodded and personally agreed to move abroad from then on.
But watching her child being carried away by the nanny, and as Song Baiyan also stood up to leave, regret began to grow in her heart.
This regret had built up over the years and was finally showing signs of spilling out.
“I saw his pictures online, auntie is raising him well.” Under the light, Kang Yunxi’s gaze was like water: “Since Jingtian is not in the Capital, if possible, I would like to visit auntie.”
Finally, Song Baiyan spoke: “No need.”
His tone was smooth, without a trace of complex emotions.
He didn’t reject her completely, but neither did he have the undulating emotions she was struggling to hold back.
Then, Kang Yunxi heard Song Baiyan continue: “You are now working at the F Country’s Foreign Ministry, accompanying the President on this state visit. Any inappropriate behavior could lead to speculation.”
While speaking, Song Baiyan also put down his teacup: “etings like this evening are not to be repeated, even if you have Luo Gelang’s consent.”
Luo Gelang is the current President of F Country.
Kang Yunxi did not speak again.
The private room fell into silence.
After a few minutes, Kang Yunxi broke the silence first: “These years you told not to co back, I listened to you, and I didn’t even pay attention to S Country’s news.”
…Except for matters related to you.
She silently added the last half to herself.
Song Baiyan sat back in his chair, legs crossed. In Kang Yunxi’s eyes, apart from a hint of leisure, what was more prominent was the air of authority that ca with Ascendancy.
In her heart, she had never seen Song Baiyan as her older brother.
Even though the Song Family adopted her for a full 15 years.
The man before her was the object of her secret affection during her green years, and also the figure that had been indelibly etched in her heart over the years.
Therefore, when he couldn’t return her deep affection, she sought emotional solace elsewhere, never imagining that the man she chose would bring such a past with the Song Family.
Even if the Song Family hadn’t fallen apart, Song Mingzhang had passed away for reasons.
As for the child’s father…
Kang Yunxi thought of Song Jinyang, who had jumped to his death. If she had known he was the illegitimate child of Song Mingzhang, she would never have been with him, but… if Song Jinyang hadn’t been Song Baiyan’s half-brother, if he hadn’t resembled Song Baiyan sowhat, she wouldn’t have been attracted to him.
Song Baiyan’s composed voice echoed in the room again: “After the visit ends, return to F Country. Unless necessary, don’t co back in the future.”
With that, Song Baiyan got up and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Kang Yunxi felt a tightness in her chest.
But she understood even more that if she insisted on staying in the country, she would only displease him.
A long ti ago, she was his obedient little sister; even now, she didn’t want to be loathed by him.
Song Baiyan got into the car and noticed a missed call.
—It was from Tang Li, 10 minutes ago.
