Chapter 171: You Want A Kiss, Right?
Changqing felt something tugging at her heart and was deeply upset. “Ruan Yang, I won’t blame you. If someone has to be blamed, it would be Xin Ziao for being a b*stard. He already had a fiance yet he still provoked you like that. He’s simply nothing. Also, that Zhao Zhu—if I were a man, I definitely wouldn’t have fallen for such a vicious woman like her. The two of them are disgusting and dirty things living in a filthy drain. Forget about the past. If you still get involved with Xin Ziao again, then it’d be akin to jumping into the dirty sewage and dirtying yourself.”
Ruan Yang was tickled by Changqing’s angry descriptions. She laughed but felt that smiling was still difficult.
“Also… have you ever thought about if the public found out about all this and what would they say about you?” Changqing said, “They’re supporting you now, but they’re not your friends. They’ll always only look at the surface. The moment negative news erupts, they’ll attack you without restraint. Ruan Yang, your achievements today didn’t come easily to you. Yes, perhaps Xin Ziao did cover you up with a piece of clothing when you needed it the most and had been standing by you all these years, but do you want a day to come when you take off that piece of clothing for this man once again and have nothing to your name at all?”
Ruan Yang was startled. Her body was so stiff it was as though an air of chilliness had run through it.
She would never forget the embarrassment and shame the moment she had to take her clothes off.
In life, she constantly gave Changqing reminders, but she never thought she was running away from her own problems.
“Think about how much effort and hard work you put into putting on the clothes you’re wearing right now.” Changqing felt her nose turn hot and she said through gritted teeth, “Ruan Yang, I also got married because of a business marriage too, but look—as someone so conservative, I just had to clench my teeth then and get through the marriage with Song Chuyi, whom I’d only met twice. I even knew that after getting married, I would probably offend my best friend, but I still did it for my family. When it really gets to that point, there are many times when men don’t mean what they say.”
Ruan Yang laughed softly. “I can’t believe that at this point, you’re the one who understands things more.”
“I just don’t want to see you continuing with your wrongdoings. Besides… how can Zhao Zhu compare to you? You’re my goddess.” Changqing said angrily, “No matter how wealthy her family is, she’s just an evil-doer in my eyes. Don’t lower yourself to her level.”
“You almost made me think that you’re some secret admirer of mine.” Ruan Yang laughed softly. “Thank you.”
“No problem.” The corners of Changqing’s lips curled upwards.
At night, Changqing had a dream.
It couldn’t be considered a dream.
She dreamt of the year when the four of them had just met in their university dormitory and were discussing what kind of men they liked.
Ruan Yang said she liked someone mature, steady and earnest.
Guan Ying said that she currently had no intentions of getting into a relationship. Her goal was to earn money—a whole lot of money.
Jiang Duoyao said that it would do as long as he was good-looking.
When she woke up the next day, Changqing felt a little upset.
Up until today, Guan Ying, Ruan Yang and even herself had been changing. Even if her current life was blissful.
However, many things were different from how they were back then. Even someone as smart as Ruan Yang was also cheated by a man.
At eight-twenty in the morning, when Changqing and Wen Tong had just left the presidential suite and were walking towards the elevator, the door to the suite beside theirs suddenly opened too.
Xin Ziao had changed into a burgundy suit and had a tie fastened. His suit was clean and wrinkle-free, making every part of his body look perfect from head to toe.
He saw the profound and immeasurable brows of Changqing’s wrinkling together. “So you’re staying on this floor too.”
“Is there a problem?” Changqing looked at how tidy he looked and her only thought was: “An animal dressed up in clothing”.
Xin Ziao looked disapprovingly at the presidential suites on this floor and said slowly and softly, word by word, “Such an expensive presidential suite; Song Chuyi must’ve arranged it for you. You really do know how to spend a man’s money.”
“Of course. If I don’t spend his money, don’t tell me I should leave it for some other woman to spend?” Changqing detested him and looked sarcastically at him. “Unlike you, you must’ve saved a lot of money after you found our Ruan Yang.”
Xin Ziao’s face froze right away.
Changqing mocked him: “Ruan Yang is so popular. A single commercial costs a few million and a drama is in the tens of millions, with a few hundred million in annual income. She must’ve rarely spent your money on things like food, accommodation and clothes, and you must’ve then saved on a lot of money and used it on your fiance. That way, it wouldn’t have been tiring to have two women at one time and your heart wouldn’t ache for the money since your expenditures weren’t big. You really know how to save. You must be the most thrifty man in the world; what an ingenious plan.”
“Try spouting nonsense again one more time.” Xin Ziao’s face cracked inch by inch as he took a step forward.
Yan Molun blocked Changqing immediately. His tall stature was like a mountain.
“Who are you? Get lost.” Xin Ziao was furious. Ruan Yang had recently flared up at him countless times because of this woman.
He couldn’t wait to destroy this woman right now.
What kind of god’s eyes must Song Chuyi have in order to marry such a wife?
“I’m her bodyguard and am in charge of her safety.” Yan Molun lowered his head and frowned. The scar on his face seemed to have become malevolent too. “This gentleman—why must you get physical with a woman? Even someone like me is incapable of doing that. You’re dressed in a suit, so don’t you think you’re serving as an insult to all gentlemen?”
“Who’s getting physical with her? Didn’t you see that she pissed me off?” Xin Ziao tugged roughly at his tie from his anger. He didn’t want to get physical. Just on the simple fact that she was Ruan Yang’s friend, he would never get physical with her. He just wanted to give her a warning.
“What right do you have to get pissed off?” Changqing scoffed. “You were obviously having a whale of a time eating with your fiance last night. Xin Ziao, how dare you go all the way to Singapore to look for Ruan Yang so shamelessly when you had a fiance. What’s your face made of? Pig’s skin?”
“You told Ruan Yang about what happened yesterday?” Xin Ziao squinted ruthlessly.
“Of course I did. I even advised Ruan Yang to not be with you. Xin Ziao, since you already have a fiance, just view it as doing a good deed and letting Ruan Yang go. Your family is so wealthy and it’s not like you lack women,” Changqing exclaimed in contempt and turned to walk forward.
Xin Ziao’s temples were pulsing from rage. “Yan Changqing, you’re so smug right now because you have Song Chuyi. Very soon, very soon, Song Chuyi won’t want you anymore. Just wait and see.”
“You must be sick, cursing others when you’re not clean yourself,” Changqing berated him.
“Very soon, you’ll find out that what I said is true.” Xin Ziao curled his lips up coldly. He took a large stride and walked past the three of them with his assistant, entering the elevator.
“Sick.” Changqing scolded him in the direction of the elevator. After the scolding, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness when she recalled that certainty in Xin Ziao’s eyes.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild; this person has personality issues. Hurry up. Otherwise, we will be late for the filming,” Wen Tong hurried her.
Changqing nodded.
After that, she stayed in Hong Kong for three more days of filming.
On the day she returned to Northern City, she had a mountain of loot with a scale bigger than when she went to Singapore previously.
Song Chuyi personally went to the airport to pick her up. When he saw that there were so many things, his head really ached. Although one room was emptied out for her things from the five-room flat in Lakeview Residence, it was obvious that it would soon be insufficient.
It looked like he really could only wait for the renovations at the new villa Song Huaisheng gave him to be completed and move over afterwards.
“Why are you not saying anything?” Upon seeing his expression, Changqing suddenly felt a little uneasy. Did she spend too much?
Actually, it wasn’t all for herself; she bought a lot of things for him too. This time, he even got Father Song, Grandma Song, and the others gifts too. She only didn’t get Song Chulang a gift.
“No, there were a few patients’ family members kicking up a ruckus at the hospital today and I’m a little tired. Let’s go back to the Song’s to sleep tonight. My Grandma’s been asking for you for quite some time,” Song Chuyi said softly.
“That’s fine too, I had presents for them anyway,” Changqing said merrily.
“You want a kiss, right?”
“No way.” Changqing’s face was hot. She was shy.
“You don’t mean what you say.” Song Chuyi chuckled softly, kissing her again.
His soft lips and tongue drew circles and Changqing felt like her heart had been stung by bees, again and again, making it awfully soft.
“Dad and Grandma are all waiting for you inside.” Outside, Song Chulang’s voice spilled in like cold water suddenly.
Changqing got such a shock that she almost bit Song Chuyi’s lips once again. She quickly took a look outside and saw Song Chulang standing there expressionlessly.
She hid in Song Chuyi’s embrace with a fright and said softly, “Finished, finished. Your brother already hated me a lot before; now is he going to take me to be a vixen who causes calamity to the country?”
“You’re a vixen alright, but not to the point where you would cause calamity to the country.” Song Chuyi caressed her head. He opened the door and walked out first.
Song Chulang shot him an unsightly glance and turned to return to the villa.
Changqing patted her chest as she came out with lingering fears.
Song Chuyi carried her things out and Changqing chose some to carry in her hands, raising her brows as she said, “I want to take this and give it to your family members personally. That way, I can make your father and Grandma happy.”
Song Chuyi watched as she walked away and secretly found it funny. Even if he said she was stupid, she did have her ways to curry favor with Song Huaisheng and his grandma.
Little bootlicker.
He followed along.
The moment they stepped through the door, Changqing began to call out Dad and Grandma sweetly and even gave them their gifts. Song Huaisheng and Grandma Song were very fond of the gifts she chose for them and even Dai Ai wasn’t left out. Previously, Song Huaisheng seemed to have given her the watch meant for Dai Ai. Changqing could also feel that Dai Ai wasn’t very pleased back then and this time, she specifically picked a Piaget women’s watch. This watch was also a new model that was exquisite and classic. It took Changqing a long time before choosing it; she always had a good eye for such things. Dai Ai was merely a little over 30 years of age, and when she received it, she was also very fond of it.
“Changqing, thank you very much,” she said amiably while holding her hand.
Dai Ai wasn’t a fool either. Although she was a little unhappy previously, for the child in her womb, she would be more than willing to accept the symbol of peace Changqing threw at her.
Changqing only smiled meekly.
Song Huaisheng nodded with satisfaction. He was most afraid of his daughter-in-law being on bad terms with Dai Ai just like his two sons.
Song Chulang, on the other hand, had a face full of indifference. He swept a cold glance at Song Chuyi.
