Chapter 18: Chapter 18 He doesn’t want to
"You, you actually dared to hit ?"
Liu Fei was stunned for a mont before she ca back to her senses.
She wanted to continue speaking, but when she t Qin Chuan’s fierce and ruthless eyes, she couldn’t help but shiver.
"Husband, he hit !"
Liu Fei looked at Wang Song with tearful eyes, clearly expecting him to stand up for her.
Back at the hospital, Wang Song had already been scared out of his wits by Qin Chuan, and with Song Yan being there, how could he dare to step up for Liu Fei?
"Smack!"
Wang Song slapped Liu Fei across the face, and her left cheek swelled visibly after just having turned red.
Wang Song roared furiously, "You shaless woman, how dare you insult Miss Song? Apologize to Miss Song now!"
After slapping Liu Fei, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and scraping as he said, "Miss Song, I am so sorry, this vile person dared to insult you, please do with her as you wish."
Hit by the slap, Liu Fei was dazed and, seeing Wang Song’s terrified deanor in front of Song Yan, realized she had gotten herself into big trouble.
"Thump!"
Liu Fei knelt down in front of Song Yan, her face pale with fear as she said, "Miss Song, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize Mount Tai when I saw it."
"Please be magnanimous, spare
this once, I truly realize my mistake."
Song Yan glanced coldly at Liu Fei, then affectionately hooked Qin Chuan’s arm, acting like a lady dependent on her man.
Seeing this scene, both Wang Song and Liu Fei were stunned.
Song Yan smiled and said, "My dear, how would you like to handle this woman? It’s up to you!"
Qin Chuan coldly swept a glance at Liu Fei and then said, "She’s just a selfish wretch, not worth our ti."
Song Yan nodded and, holding Qin Chuan’s hand, walked towards Tianfu Number One.
Only when their figures had completely disappeared did Liu Fei dare to let out a sharp scream, "Aah... Bastards! You dare to insult
like this, I will make you regret it!"
"Smack!"
Wang Song slapped Liu Fei across the face again, raging, "I warn you, I don’t care how you plan to deal with Qin Chuan, but Miss Song is the most beloved granddaughter of Jiangcheng City’s wealthiest, Patriarch Song Qingshan! If you dare to ss with her, you’d better get lost right now!"
After speaking, Wang Song stord off.
Liu Fei glanced towards Tianfu Number One, then suddenly realized that Song Yan and Qin Chuan had entered Tianfu Number One.
Thinking back to the braggadocious talk she had made earlier, she wished she could crawl into a hole, and quickly ran off after Wang Song.
Inside Tianfu Number One, Qin Chuan stared at the luxurious building before him, feeling sowhat surprised; he suddenly envied Song Yan’s fiancé.
At that mont, the image of Xiao ngyi, with whom he had a brief romantic encounter, appeared in his mind.
After regaining part of his mory, Qin Chuan understood that it wasn’t the alcohol that almost made him lose control that night, but rather the Kunlun Divine Poison in his body that had erupted as his mories unlocked.
That night, if Xiao ngyi hadn’t given herself to him, he feared he would have perished from the poison.
Counting it up, he had only helped Xiao ngyi fend off a few scoundrels, while Xiao ngyi had saved his life.
anwhile, at Jiangcheng City First People’s Hospital, the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic.
Xiao ngyi was staring at a report sheet, with a striking line of small print at the bottom.
Clinical Diagnosis: Confird pregnancy!
Seeing this result, Xiao ngyi was struck as if by thunder, and tears stread down her face.
Just then, her phone rang. After answering, she heard Mother Xiao’s cold voice say, "In half a month, you will be marrying into the Chen Family, aren’t you coming back yet?"
"Your grandfather asked
to tell you, you have one more week. If you don’t return ho, we’ll send soone to Jiangcheng to bring you back forcibly!"
Mother Xiao hung up after speaking, issuing commands without a hint of emotion.
Xiao ngyi clenched her phone tightly, her face filled with pain. In the Xiao Family, she was just a bargaining chip that could be traded for benefits at any ti; no one considered her feelings.
Suddenly, she thought of how Qin Chuan stood fearlessly in front of her that night at the bar, even though she was very scared.
After staring at the pregnancy test for a while, she seed to have made a significant decision and said with determination, "As long as you dare to accept, I dare to marry you!"
...
In the blink of an eye, another week passed.
Today was Patriarch Song Qingshan’s seventieth birthday, and Qin Chuan had received an invitation three days prior, along with an invitation card sent by Song Yan.
At noon, Luo Changsheng took Qin Chuan out, and in just twenty minutes, they arrived at the Starlight Garden Hotel.
"Grandfather Luo! Brother Qin!"
As they entered the banquet hall, they saw Song Jie approaching with a beaming smile, "The birthday banquet won’t start for another twenty minutes. Grandfather is in the VIP room, I’ll take you there."
Luo Changsheng shook his head, "Xiao Jie, you go ahead with your duties, there’s no need to worry about us. We’ll find a spot ourselves."
Although Luo Changsheng was known as the number one Divine Doctor in Jiangcheng City, he usually kept a low profile and seldom attended high-end dinners. It was only because of his good relationship with Song Qingshan that he attended the birthday banquet.
Song Jie, familiar with Luo Changsheng’s personality, didn’t insist and nodded with a smile, "In that case, I won’t disturb you. Please feel free to do as you like, Elder Luo."
After saying this, he turned to look at Qin Chuan with a suggestive grin, "Brother Qin, Xiao Yan can’t leave our grandfather’s side, but she ntioned that once you arrived, she wanted
to take you to her."
Qin Chuan replied with a smile, "I’d rather not join the crowd. Staying with Elder Luo is fine for ."
In the past few days, Song Yan had been seeking out Qin Chuan constantly, whom he had been trying to avoid by all ans possible. After all, Song Yan was about to get engaged, and it wouldn’t be right for them to be too close.
After Song Jie left, Luo Changsheng looked at Qin Chuan with a wary expression, "Xiao Chuan, although Song Yan is an excellent girl, my granddaughter is no less exceptional. You mustn’t let yourself be seduced by Song Yan!"
Qin Chuan responded with a look of helplessness, "Elder Luo, you don’t need to worry. Song Yan and I are just friends. Besides, she’s about to get engaged, so there’s definitely nothing between us."
Luo Changsheng looked surprised, "Song Yan is getting engaged? How co I wasn’t aware of this?"
Qin Chuan said, "It was Song Yan who told ."
Luo Changsheng felt that sothing was off. Given his relationship with Song Qingshan, such significant news as Song Yan’s engagent should have been shared with him.
At twelve noon sharp, the birthday banquet began on ti.
The vast banquet hall was filled to capacity, with mbers of the elite and powerful families from Jiangcheng City, so even coming from the provincial capital.
"Today marks my seventieth birthday, and I am deeply grateful that all of you could take ti out of your busy schedules to join the celebration," Song Qingshan said.
At the main seat, Song Qingshan wore a festive burgundy Tang suit, his face all smiles. Beside him was a familiar face—Song Yan.
Song Yan was dressed in a cream-colored cheongsam, its small stand-up collar highlighting her elegant swan-like neck. Her already delicate features were enhanced by light makeup, leaving her stunningly beautiful.
Young people from various elite families were now focusing their attention on Song Yan, each with a look of admiration.
After Song Qingshan finished his pleasantries, his tone suddenly changed as he spoke with a smile, "As you all may be aware, my legs have been paralyzed for a whole fifteen years."
As the words fell, amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, he stood up on his own from the wheelchair.
"How is that possible? His legs have been paralyzed for fifteen years. The muscles should have atrophied, right? How could he possibly stand up again?"
"The Song Family rose to prominence through their martial prowess. If Elder Song hadn’t beco paralyzed suddenly those years ago, the Song Family might have beco one of the top families in the provincial capital by now, right?"
"The Song family is already the wealthiest family in Jiangcheng City. Now that Elder Song’s legs have recovered, could the Song family beco even stronger?"
...
Song Qingshan gestured for silence and continued, "The reason I can stand again is that I t an Honored One!"
Before anyone could ask, he added, "Besides celebrating my birthday today, I also have another happy announcent to make!"
The crowd awaited in anticipation as he went on, "I’ve decided to betroth my granddaughter, Song Yan, to this Honored One!"
Upon this revelation, the entire room was stunned!
Qin Chuan was shocked himself. The Honored One Song Qingshan spoke of...wasn’t it himself?
So, was he going to be Song Yan’s fiancé?
Luo Changsheng was also dumbfounded. No wonder Song Qingshan hadn’t disclosed the engagent news to him. It turned out that the old fox was planning to snatch a potential son-in-law from him.
Just then, Song Qingshan’s gaze fell on Qin Chuan as he asked with a smile, "Qin Chuan, I’m planning to match Xiao Yan with you. Are you willing?"
Song Yan looked at Qin Chuan with a hopeful gaze, her face full of tender affection.
The eyes of everyone in the room followed Song Qingshan’s line of sight and landed on Qin Chuan.
"Qin Chuan? Why haven’t I heard this na before? Is there a wealthy Qin family from the provincial capital or Yandu?"
"Patriarch Song didn’t say the Honored One was from a noble family, but that this person cured his legs, aning the Honored One is a peerless Divine Doctor."
"Miss Song is so exceptional, only a fool would refuse to beco the Song family’s son-in-law, right?"
The guests all looked at Qin Chuan with envy.
Song Qingshan spoke again, "Qin Chuan, if you are willing, we can arrange your wedding at any ti!"
It was not until that mont that Qin Chuan snapped back to reality. Song Qingshan was genuinely planning to marry Song Yan off to him.
Truth be told, Song Yan was outstanding in every way, and the ti they had spent together had been comfortable for him. Marrying such an excellent woman would be an honor for Qin Chuan.
However, right at this mont, another woman appeared in his mind, imprinted deeply, like a brand in his heart.
If it weren’t for her, he would have died from poison on the day his mory recovered.
Just as Qin Chuan was wondering how to refuse Song Qingshan, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, "He’s not willing!"
A breathtaking figure appeared, walking gracefully into the room.
