Unlike the deep night in Country S, at this mont in Country F, the sunset has just dipped below the western hills.
ng Shu leaned against the entrance of the hotel suite, lightly swaying the ice-cold glass in his hand. The small amount of amber liquid at the bottom refracted under the downlight, creating shimring ripples.
While drinking, his gaze remained fixed on the graceful figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Of course, he didn’t miss her despondent deanor.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "Since you’ve already registered your marriage, staying overnight is out of the question."
These words did not elicit any response.
"A twenty-year-old girl is like a budding flower, naturally appealing to those high-status, high-ranking n." ng Shu continued talking to himself, pacing to the chaise lounge to sit down, "Song Baiyan looks like he has no desires, but he’s not really a saint. When faced with soone he likes, it’s inevitable for him to have worldly desires."
Seeing that the person by the window still didn’t respond, he picked up that bottle of whiskey, "That night, I cheekily followed you to Tan Palace. Compared to on TV, she’s even prettier in person."
"Her skin is as good as a peeled egg, and just looking at her figure, she’s gentle and delicate. Being led by Song Baiyan into the banquet hall, every move exudes obedience. To be honest, she does evoke pity."
Kang Yunxi didn’t turn around, but the hands around her chest clenched slightly.
Listening to ng Shu’s description, she lost focus for a mont.
Is it because she’s young that he likes her?
If that’s truly the case, then why didn’t Song Baiyan like her when she was twenty?
After ng Shu told her the news of Song Baiyan’s marriage, she went to watch that TV series called "Original Sin." Without even needing to check the cast, when she caught that beautiful face flashing for a second in the opening, she had already determined this was the ’Tang Li’ ng Shu spoke of.
Because it fits the style Song Baiyan would like too well.
More accurately, it fits the standard that all n look for in a trophy wife.
All these years she was convinced Song Baiyan was different.
But reality slapped her in the face.
Browsing online to see reports of Tang Li’s romance, especially the photos of the night ride on the London Eye, she could no longer deceive herself— the man she had harbored in her heart for years had finally fallen into the mundane world.
More than disappointnt, it was unwillingness.
Because she just realized Song Baiyan could indeed be moved by won.
—He could even easily promise marriage.
Like a king growing muddle-headed in his old age.
"It seems Jingtian also quite likes her." ng Shu’s voice ca again: "The old matriarch of the Song Family said they’d have her take care of Jingtian in two years."
Hearing this, Kang Yunxi also picked up the handbag on the chaise lounge.
ng Shu noticed her intent, reached out, and pulled her back, "Both parents are gone, and reliant on others—yet Song Baiyan never gave you a second glance, not once has he looked at you the way a man looks at a woman. But with Tang Li, it’s clearly different."
Kang Yunxi retorted coldly, "This is my business, it’s not for you to ddle in."
"But I’ve heard, Song Baiyan originally also treated her as a younger family mber to care for."
These words made Kang Yunxi clutch her handbag tightly.
ng Shu stood up, covering her shoulder with his left hand: "You didn’t lose to Tang Li, but to ti itself. You didn’t go to him when he beca successful."
Kang Yunxi didn’t move, allowing ng Shu to pull her into his arms.
The man’s thin lips brushed her ear: "Song Baiyan doesn’t love you. I’ll love you. You know, I’m willing to do anything for you, whether it was eight years ago or now, I’ve never changed."
A kiss fell on the woman’s neck.
After a while, Kang Yunxi’s faint voice echoed in the suite: "Would you really do anything for ?"
ng Shu had just let her go when Kang Yunxi spoke again—
"Then prove it to ."
