He knocked on the door. “Open the door.”
“I’m showering.” The sound of water flowing, mixed with Changqing’s voice, came from inside.
“Open the door. Let’s shower together.” Song Chuyi knocked again.
“No.”
From inside the bathroom, Changqing saw him standing at the door for a while before leaving.
She stood under the showerhead for a while and lowered her gaze.
After showering, Changqing came out while drying her hair. Song Chuyi took a glance at her and went in to shower. After he came out from the shower, her long hair wasn’t blown dry yet.
He sat on the bed and took out a medical book to read. It was only after around 20 minutes that Changqing crawled slowly up on the bed and lay on the other side in the blankets to sleep.
He glanced at her fair cheeks. It was probably because she just applied moisturiser that her whole body was exuding a fragrant scent.
He placed the book down and went over to hug her. His big hand snuck into her pyjamas.
“Don’t…” Changqing pulled his hand away and didn’t open her eyes.
He lowered his head and kissed her face. Changqing turned her face away and opened her eyes. “I said I don’t want to; I’m very tired.”
“Really? You were quite alright just earlier.” Song Chuyi watched her intensely with a deep gaze.
Changqing’s body shrank into the blankets and she said softly, “Don’t tell me that being together means other than doing it there’s nothing else we can do?”
He frowned and stared at her without saying a word.
Changqing felt uneasy from his stare and simply turned around so that her back faced him.
Song Chuyi sat up and said mildly while watching the back of her head, “If you want the reimbursement, I’ll give it to you.”
Changqing froze and sat up as well. She watched his hazy eyes and grabbed the blanket tightly. “You think I want your money?”
Her clear eyes seemed to reveal a trace of hurt and disbelief. Song Chuyi pressed his lips together. Aside from this, he couldn’t think of anything else. They were obviously fine before that conversation.
“Do you think your Song Family is very rich and that I’m eyeing your family’s money?” Changqing was furious and felt even more upset. Sometimes, she was very foolish. However, she was very sensitive too, just like how he gazed at her strangely as though he was examining her just now when he entered the room, making her feel as though she did something wrong. She pretended that she didn’t feel anything and she then explained to him, “Do you think that just because I bought gifts for your family members and curried the favor of your step-mom, I have other motives?”
A trace of gloominess flashed in Song Chuyi’s eyes.
Actually, he couldn’t really pin-point it. Perhaps he was thinking of Guan Ying…
As for her, she knew how to curry the favor of his family better than Guan Ying.
“Song Chuyi, you’re so filthy.” Changqing couldn’t tell whether she was more disappointed or something else. There were many things she could endure. However, she would never give in when it came to her character and pride. “Yes, my family isn’t as rich as yours and I usually like to splurge. However, I can live well whether or not I have the money. When I received money from you, I was quite happy not because I like money, but because it was my husband who gave me money. I felt like I was being pampered because aside from my father, no other man has ever been this nice to me. Perhaps you rich people are naturally afraid that people would eye your money.”
Yes, she should’ve expected this.
Just like Guan Ying.
No matter how the two of them got along then, at that time, Song Chuyi hid his family background from Guan Ying definitely because he was afraid Guan Ying would eye his Song Family background.
Guan Ying was indeed wrong. However, it couldn’t undermine the fact that these rich people were really guarding themselves against the people around them.
“Are you done?” The gloom in Song Chuyi’s eyes intensified.
Changqing thought for a while and said, “If you can’t bear to part with that money, I can return it to you.”
The room was so silent that the sound of the crickets outside could be heard.
Song Chuyi leaned on the pillow. The white light cast from overhead made his face look colder.
For a moment, Changqing was so afraid that she wanted to crawl out and leave the Song Household.
However, if she left just like that, it would definitely alarm the people downstairs.
“You’re right, there was indeed a moment when I had that thought for a short while.” Song Chuchu finally started coldly. “However, it was just for that while. I understand very clearly that you aren’t that kind of money-hungry person. To judge a person, all you need to see is the environment she grew up in. Your family environment was very good when you were growing up. In my family, if Dai Ai wasn’t eyeing someone of my Dad’s age for their money, would she have married him? Dai Ai has always wanted to give birth to a son. Don’t you think it’s because having a son in this family could give her a form of security so that he could inherit a portion of the Song Family’s property? Actually, I don’t really hold money in high regard, but money can allow you to clearly see through many people. Isn’t that so?”
“Then should I take more notice in future and get my family members to take note too in case you misunderstand my family as being money-hungry?” Changqing knew what he said made sense. However, she still felt upset. Upset that he had that thought about her even if it was for just a second.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild.” Song Chuyi was slightly frustrated.
“… Let’s sleep. I’m a little tired.” Changqing suddenly really felt tired. This discussion seemed to be leading nowhere.
Just like Song Chulang. The first time she met him, he also thought she was eyeing them for their family’s money.
Perhaps it was the business marriage. When the two families’ wealth wasn’t equal, especially when the Yan Family needed to rely on the Song Family, it was inevitable that such a situation would arise.
Just like how Yan Lei got her to buy gifts to curry the favor of the Song family members. Perhaps he also had some of that intention in mind.
Firstly, to maintain the collaboration between the Song and Yan family, and secondly, to promote her standing in the Song Family.
Actually, when a person lived life too aware, there really wasn’t much meaning in it.
Therefore, most of the time, she would rather not think about problems and live a little foolishly.
Song Chuyi sighed inside helplessly.
No one would’ve thought that on the night Changqing returned from Hong Kong, the pair would actually be sleeping on opposite sides.
Changqing sometimes really felt like crying but she held it in.
Acting coquettishly and crying for a while was okay if it was just some everyday-life bickering.
However, when faced with financial interests, one would often feel very helpless.
She understood clearly that Song Chuyi doted on her and pampered her but might not love her.
Like this time in Hong Kong, Wen Tong would often sweet-talk with her partner over the phone.
As for Song Chuyi, he had never even said that he missed her.
Perhaps she didn’t have enough charm to make him fall in love with her.
However, she hadn’t blamed him or complained. Actually, compared to so many others, she was really living blissfully.
The next morning, when Changqing woke up, Song Chuyi was still sleeping.
She looked at the sun hanging high in the sky outside and grabbed her phone to check the time. It was nine.
She was puzzled. Did he not have to work today?
She sat up and went to the closet to change into a romper she brought back from Hong Kong. It was a little troublesome to put on. Just as she was hooking up her bra, Song Chuyi suddenly walked in from outside.
She quickly put her t-shirt on and glanced at him. He was looking for clothes in the closet.
Changqing was more awake and wasn’t as angry as yesterday. However, when it came to some things, once there was a knot, there would be some awkwardness more or less.
However, the two couldn’t go on like this. Hence, she took the initiative and said, “Don’t you have to work today?”
“Rest,” Song Chuyi said lightly.
“Oh.” Changqing really didn’t know what else to say. She went to the bathroom to wash up after getting dressed.
Just as she was done, he walked in and the two grazed past each other.
After that, when Changqing was still doing her skincare routine, he was already done.
“I’m going down for breakfast first; come down quickly.” He left after saying that.
Changqing was in a daze. She turned back and he was already nowhere to be seen in the bedroom.
She was silent for a while. After she was done with her face, she packed up and went downstairs.
Song Chuyi heard footsteps while eating breakfast and his fork and knife paused. He glanced at her and didn’t say anything.
It was Dai Ai who was in the living room who said with a smile. “You must be hungry. Quick, have breakfast. Today’s breakfast is better than usual.”
The kitchen auntie at the side said with a smile, “it was Madam who got me to make more.”
“Thank you…” Seeing the warm smile on Dai Ai’s face, Changqing felt a little awkward. At the beginning, she just intended to not show any hostility. She didn’t think that Dai Ai’s attitude towards her would improve so significantly compared to the past. “Right, you looked like you woke up very early.”
“After I got pregnant, I have trouble sleeping and the child wakes me up with kicks. Look, the kicking is starting again,” Dai Ai said with a smile while caressing her stomach.
Changqing stared at her stomach and felt a little curious and wanted to try touching it.
“Try touching it.” Dai Ai held her hand and put it on top. She felt the tremor. Changqing really felt a little shocked and even found it magical.
Actually, no one around her had ever been pregnant. She never had a mother before and therefore, she was really ignorant about such things.
Song Chulang, who was coming down from upstairs, witnessed this scene. He squinted his eyes. Changqing also saw him and was so frightened her hand shook and she quickly retracted it.
Song Chulang walked past them expressionlessly and walked straight to the dining area and sat beside Song Chuyi to have breakfast.
“I suddenly… feel like going to the toilet.” Changqing didn’t want to have breakfast with Song Chulang. She put her hands over her stomach and went upstairs.
She didn’t have much going on today so she stayed in the bedroom for a while and played with her phone.
When she heard the sound of the car starting outside, she quickly rushed to the balcony to take a look. It seemed as though Song Chulang had left.
She heaved a sigh of relief. Song Chuyi suddenly entered. His thin lips were pressed together into a line as he looked at her and said, “You’re still not going down for breakfast after going to the toilet?”
“Oh.” Changqing was a little guilty and subconsciously quickly walked past him to head downstairs. However, she didn’t realize that the man behind her was watching her with a deep frown.
In the dining area, she was really famished. However, she still tried to finish her bowl of porridge slowly with reservation.
Dai Ai came back from her stroll in the garden and smiled at her. She walked over and sat beside her.
Changqing increased her eating pace. Now, she didn’t want to build a good relationship with anyone in case Song Chuyi thought she was eyeing their family’s property.
“The watch you gave me yesterday looks really pretty.” Dai Ai raised her right hand and when Changqing saw the watch that she gave her, she was stupefied.
“Glad that you like it,” she said forcefully.
“You know what? Actually, I thought that… you might not like me.” Dai Ai suddenly watched her and said with a smile, “I’m not much older than you. The brothers, Song Chuyi and Song Chulang, have always detested me and viewed me as an enemy, especially Song Chulang. However, I didn’t think that he would see you as an enemy too.”
