Yan Lei still wanted to add in a word or two when his phone rang. It was a call from Song Huaisheng.
“Old Song, is there something the matter? Calling so late at night?” Yan Lei said with a chuckle.
“Of course, Old Yan. My eldest son just showed me some news. What’s going on between Changqing and Fu Yu?” Song Huaisheng asked in a low tone.
Yan Lei was in a daze and could faintly guess. He quickly said calmly, “Fu Yu is the son of an old friend of mine and is like a brother to Changqing. The media just likes to make groundless accusations, Old Song. You’d better not take it as the truth. My daughter would never be someone like that.”
“I’m relieved at your words. However, I hope this matter can be settled quickly and properly,” Song Huaisheng said.
Yan Lei understood. Song Huaisheng didn’t want to act out. He wanted to explain this matter in an open way and didn’t want to make the press suppress this matter forcefully.
After hanging up, Chuyi looked nervous. “What did Song Chuyi’s dad want from you?”
Yan Lei didn’t speak and only went to search for the news. Pictures of her and Fu Yu on dates were all over the news and there was even a picture of her going to Fu Yu’s villa. There was even some insider who revealed that her financial backer was Fu Yu.
Chuyi suddenly felt like she fell into an icy hole. Her first reaction was that Song Chuyi would exterminate her.
“Are you still not going up to look for Chuyi?” Yan Lei glared at her.
Changqing pressed her mouth and went upstairs fearfully.
In the bedroom, Song Chuyi had already taken a shower and was standing on the balcony, talking on the phone. Half his body was in the darkness and his expression was slightly grave.
Changqing obediently sat on the cloth couch and when he came in after the phone call, she quickly took the initiative to explain, “Have you seen the news on the internet? It isn’t true, it’s…”
“Alright, I know, Zhao Zhu got someone to do it,” Song Chuyi interrupted her coldly. “I’d already anticipated this move from her. Do you have pictures of you and Fu Yu together when you were young? Upload one of them on Weibo and clarify that both of you knew each other since you were young.”
Changqing didn’t think that Song Chuyi would not only not blame her, but he was also so open-minded all of a sudden. She really wasn’t used to it. She’d been feeling perturbed and extremely scared just now.
“Do you have the photos or not?” Song Chuyi asked once again in a deep voice.
“Yes, yes, yes, they’re in the storeroom—I’ll look for them right now.” Changqing rushed downstairs to the storeroom and flipped open the photo album. After flipping for a long time, she finally found a picture of her, Shen Lu, Yan Changxin and Fu Yu in the Yangzhou courtyard.
She took pictures of the two of them and uploaded them on Weibo with the caption, “Today, I heard a very funny piece of news. Someone said that Fu Yu is my financial backer. All that I want to say is that we grew up together and are just like real siblings.”
After uploading the post, Changqing quickly brought her phone to show Song Chuyi. Her gaze was so prudent; it was as if she was looking at a senior official. “Take a look. Is this okay?”
Song Chuyi’s cool gaze changed for the better under the light. However, his complexion still looked like it had no temperature. “Remember this lesson and stay away from Fu Yu.”
“Mm, mm.” Changqing nodded eagerly.
Seeing that she was so obedient, Song Chuyi’s frown loosened and he stroked her head. “Go take a shower and wash up nicely. I’m going to claim my welfare later.”
The word “welfare” was just like a torch of fire, lighting Changqing’s tail on fire. She quickly went to the changing room to look for her clothes shyly. When she walked past the bedroom on the way to the shower, she could feel Song Chuyi’s lazy gaze as he lay on the bed. She quickly escaped to the bathroom as though there was fire beneath her feet.
She purposely took her time in the bathroom and spent more than half an hour before coming out slowly.
Song Chuyi was long impatient from reading in bed. When he saw her coming out, he restrained his expression slightly and beckoned her. “Come.”
Changqing stood still. “I haven’t dried my hair yet.”
“You just washed your hair this morning—why are you washing it again at night?” Song Chuyi frowned with his handsome face that was as cold as snow. “Hurry up. The slower you are, the later you will sleep.”
Changqing stomped her feet with a flushed face and mumbled, “I just gave you… your welfare in the morning. Why do you want it again… at night?”
“The one in the morning was a reward; the one at night is welfare.” After Song Chuyi glanced at her with a smirk, he opened the drawer to take out a condom.
Changqing covered her face with embarrassment and went to blow-dry her hair quickly.
She took her time and Song Chuyi was getting impatient from the whirling sound of the hairdryer. He got off the bed and walked towards her.
The plug of the hairdryer was suddenly pulled out by him. Changqing was in a daze and before she could react, her little body was carried horizontally by him as they moved towards the bed.
Changqing pressed against his chest shyly and spoke as softly as a mosquito, “Why are you… in such a rush? It’s only 8:30 pm now.”
“I plan to sleep at eleven. You’re going for three days—don’t you think these two and a half hours is insufficient for three days’ worth of welfare?” Song Chuyi supported himself with his palms by the side of her head. His dark pupils reflected Changqing’s pinkish collarbones.
“Two… two and a half hours…” Changqing stuttered. She didn’t dare to imagine it. “Wouldn’t it be… too long? I definitely couldn’t take it…”
“How would you know if you haven’t tried? There are some things you must put into practice personally, do you know that?” Song Chuyi saw her shock and lifted the corners of his lips with delight in contrast.
His thin and hot fingertips brushed past her soft and tender lips. Changqing cowered nervously and blinked. All she could smell was the strong fragrance of his toothpaste. It was the same toothpaste that she used. Even the fragrance was the same.
She opened her eyes slightly with her heart beating wildly and saw the pair of eyes that belonged to Song Chuchu filled with desire. They were strange yet familiar…
After putting it into practice, it was proven that a person’s capabilities were unlimited.
Two and a half hours. Changqing would’ve never dared to imagine it. However, when she really did it, she was so tired that her body didn’t feel like hers.
She only regretted not drinking more tears in the first half of the night. Towards the end, her tears were all dried up.
She covered her face up in the blanket shyly.
He chased over and annoyed her, asking her time and again until she was utterly defeated. “It’s good… you’re so annoying… stop asking…”
Song Chuyi hugged her tightly from behind and stuck close to her like they were embedded together.
Afterwards, Changqing had no idea how she even fell asleep.
The next day, her phone rang. It was Song Chuyi, who woke up for his morning shift, who answered the call. Ruan Yang’s voice came from the other side of the call. “Changqing, have you told Song Chuyi? My plane is at three in the afternoon. Do you want me to book one for you too?”
“Book one for her. Tell me your bank account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you,” Song Chuyi said clearly and lightly.
Ruan Yang was shocked for a while before coming back to her senses and she quickly said, “It’s alright. It doesn’t cost much, I…”
“I don’t like my woman to spend other people’s money,” Song Chuyi said in a forceful tone that didn’t allow for any rejection.
“Alright.” It was money sent to her, so there was no reason for Ruan Yang to reject it.
Song Chuyi returned the phone to its original position and saw that Changqing was still sleeping soundly. He didn’t disturb her. He washed up, changed into a clean set of clothes and left for work.
Changqing woke up and it was already past ten. She lugged her sore body groggily up and saw that the other side of the bed was empty and cold. She cursed Song Chuchu ruthlessly in her heart.
He didn’t even tell her he was leaving for work. Did he not remember that she was going to Singapore today?
Changqing looked for her phone and called Ruan Yang. “Ruan Yang, what time is your flight? Have you booked the tickets?”
“Song Chuyi didn’t tell you, right? The flight is at three in the afternoon and I’ve booked the tickets already. Song Chuyi also transferred me the money for the hotel and flight,” Ruan Yang said with a smile. “He’s very generous and saved me a lot of money.”
“What? He gave you money? When was it?” Changqing was a little dazed.
“After seven in the morning; you were probably still sleeping. It’s getting late. Pack your things and we’ll meet at the airport.”
Changqing held her phone in her hands and rolled around in bed gleefully.
It was good to have a husband. All the expenses from one’s flight tickets to one’s hotel stay would be settled by the husband when one went out.
Song Chuyi, really! Not making a single noise, but it was precisely his noiselessness that always gave her endless surprises.
Changqing sat up sweetly and gave Song Chuyi a call. “How much did you transfer Ruan Yang in the morning?”
“Not much,” Song Chuyi said lightly. “I’m examining a patient now, so my hands are full. I’ll call you back later.”
“… Oh.” Changqing suddenly felt gloomy and hung up the phone.
Really! What a wet blanket. I still wanted to say a few nice words.
In the afternoon, Changqing was eating lunch when the sound of the car engine came from outside. She thought Yan Lei was back. In the end, she waited for a while and discovered that it was Song Chuyi coming in from outside.
“Why are you back at this time?” Changqing asked, trying to sound him out. “Don’t tell me it’s to send me off?”
“If not?” Song Chuyi looked disapprovingly at her and took the bowl of rice Auntie Zhang scooped out with a hand.
Changqing was overwhelmed by the sudden favor. Although she had wanted Song Chuyi to send her off, it was just an extravagant hope and she never thought it would come true.
Done for. Song Chuchu’s really going to spoil me rotten.
“What are you doing spacing out? Eat quickly—we have to reach the airport an hour beforehand. We need an hour to get there from here. Are you done with the packing?” Song Chuyi frowned as he asked.
Changqing nodded then shook her head. “I still have a little left to do.”
Song Chuyi sighed. “Then what were you doing all morning?”
“I was matching my clothes, sunglasses and hats.” It was a rare opportunity for her to go out, and although her face was full of acne, she would still do her best to look beautiful.
Song Chuyi rubbed his glabella. It was indeed hard to understand the world of a woman, especially the world of his woman.
As it happened, Changqing still took her time to chew and swallow during the meal and when she was finally done, Changqing went upstairs to show him the outfits she put together. “Do you think I look nice in this set?”
“Your face is already ruined; it looks the same no matter what you wear. Hurry up.” Song Chuyi took her clothes and stuffed them into the suitcase.
Changqing pulled a face at him. “Luckily I’m not travelling with you.”
Song Chuyi couldn’t be bothered with her. He was seriously wondering if he hadn’t come back this afternoon, could she have caught her flight?
Ruan Yang would probably suffer because of this burden she picked up along the way.
