Mr. Song, you have crossed the line.

Song Shiyan's expression had returned to normal, and his voice was low and husky with emotion, "I am not her boyfriend."

Rong Zheng looked at Song Shiyan in surprise. How could he not be her boyfriend?

Did the two have a fight and break up?

She suddenly remembered that Wei Shuyan didn't show up for Song Shiyan's birthday a few days ago. Could it be that the two had already broken up back then?

For a moment, Rong Zheng was so shocked by the news that she forgot the embarrassment she had just felt.

She glanced back and forth between Song Shiyan and Wei Shuyan. "Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"

Wei Shuyan didn't speak, but looked at Song Shiyan with bright eyes.

He was the one who asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend. At the time, he said that she couldn't be exposed in front of anyone. Now, he's actually confessed on his own initiative.

Something's fishy, ​​there's definitely something fishy going on!

Ignoring Wei Shuyan's excited and gossipy gaze, Song Shiyan looked calmly at Rong Zheng and said, "There is no misunderstanding. From beginning to end, she and I have never been in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."

Rong Zheng was even more bewildered, "But you were in front of Old Madam Song..."

Song Shiyan said calmly, "I did this to appease my grandmother. She threatened to stop me from taking my medicine so I could get a girlfriend. I had no choice but to ask Shuyan to help me pretend."

Pretending?

Rong Zheng looked at Wei Shuyan with disbelief, as if she wanted to get a negative answer from her.

Wei Shuyan nodded.

Since both parties admitted it, Rong Zheng had no choice but to believe it.

No wonder she felt that there was no romantic atmosphere between Wei Shuyan and Song Shiyan; they weren't ambiguous, clingy, or lingering.

It turns out it was all a lie.

But... "Why did you tell me this secret?"

Wei Shuyan looked at Song Shiyan with feigned composure. "Yes, Brother Shiyan, didn't you say you wouldn't reveal your secret to anyone? Why did you tell Sister Rong on your own initiative?"

Song Shiyan looked at Wei Shuyan with a calm gaze, saying nothing, but the intimidating pressure emanating from him was subtly revealed, as if asking her: Do you know who you are talking to?

Wei Shuyan felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze. She was really bold, daring to watch Song Shiyan's antics. She immediately suppressed her playful expression and looked at Rong Zheng, saying, "I was just afraid you'd blame yourself, considering how you were just..."

She didn't dare to continue, only pointing at Song Shiyan with her chin, "Right? Now that we've talked it out, you won't feel guilty anymore."

Wei Shuyan's words instantly reminded Rong Zheng of what had just happened, and her face burned. "That...that was an accident."

Wei Shuyan nodded, "Yes, I saw it."

Rong Zheng felt that Wei Shuyan's answer was perfunctory, as if she were saying: I know, keep making things up.

She turned to look at Song Shiyan, and when she met his deep, unfathomable eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately lowered her gaze, unable to look at him. "Brother Yan, I'm sorry, I..."

Song Shiyan interrupted her calmly, "It was just an accident, don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Rong Zheng instantly recalled the unexpected kiss they had shared on her sofa last time. It seemed that Song Shiyan had said something similar back then.

Kissing and lunging—why are there so many unexpected things happening between them?

And every time, she's on top and he's on the bottom, making it seem like she's always the one initiating things.

Rong Zheng felt utterly ashamed and wished she could disappear into the ground. She just wanted to leave this awkward place as soon as possible. "I have something to do, I'll be going now."

After she finished speaking, she walked quickly toward the door, but halfway there she remembered that Song Shiyan's phone was still in her hand, so she quickly turned back, put the phone on the coffee table, and then left quickly.

After Rong Zheng left, Wei Shuyan looked at Song Shiyan, who hesitated several times, wanting to ask but not daring to. Finally, unable to contain her curiosity, she cautiously asked, "Brother Shiyan, do you... like Sister Rong?"

Song Shiyan raised his eyes, his deep gaze sweeping over them indifferently.

Wei Shuyan immediately raised her hand to assure everyone, "Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and won't utter a single word!"

Song Shiyan nodded in satisfaction. "Mm."

What the hell!

He admitted it! He admitted it!

Song Shiyan really likes Rong Zheng!

Rong Zheng is Lu Peichuan's ex-wife, his former sister-in-law! How could he... how could he have a forbidden love affair with her!

No wonder he's the revered King of Hell; even his tastes are so unique.

Wei Shuyan suddenly remembered the time when Rong Zheng was hospitalized. Song Shiyan took the initiative to call her and ask if she wanted to visit Rong Zheng. He even picked her up and took her to the hospital. It turned out that he cared so much about Rong Zheng because he liked her.

Wait, he also said that Rong Zheng had no one to take care of her except her divorced ex-husband Lu Peichuan, which was inconvenient. He asked her if she liked Rong Zheng and if she would help Rong Zheng if she encountered difficulties.

So he was setting a trap for her, trying to get her to help him deal with his love rival, Lu Peichuan?

Ahhhhh!

This old man actually schemed against her!

Wei Shuyan glared angrily at Song Shiyan.

Song Shiyan showed no remorse for having schemed against others. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Shuyan, whose cheeks were puffed out like a pufferfish. "Aren't you going back to school?"

"Go back, I'll go back right now!" Wei Shuyan didn't dare to do anything to Song Shiyan, so she could only grit her teeth to express her dissatisfaction. Then she snorted and walked angrily toward the door.

After taking a few steps, Song Shiyan's deep, indifferent voice came from behind, "She doesn't know anything, so don't talk nonsense in front of her."

Wei Shuyan naturally knew that the "she" Song Shiyan was referring to was Rong Zheng, and she also knew that when he said "she doesn't know anything," he meant that Rong Zheng didn't know that he liked her.

She cursed inwardly: Old man, you schemed against me! I curse you to always have a crush on Sister Rong, hmph!

He has a lot of backbone in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it out loud.

Wei Shuyan obediently replied, "I understand," and then left without looking back.

As soon as she stepped out of the house, she immediately dialed Rong Zheng's number. "Sister Rong, wait for me... Okay, find a shady spot to wait for me, I'll be right there."

About three minutes later, Wei Shuyan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, saw Rong Zheng standing in the shade of a big tree in the distance and immediately said to the driver, "Stop up ahead for a moment."

As the car drew closer to Rong Zheng, Wei Shuyan suddenly remembered what Song Shiyan had just said: "She doesn't know anything, so don't talk nonsense in front of her."

So he calculated that she would look for Rong Zheng after she came out?

On such a hot day, he didn't take Rong Zheng away because he was sure she wouldn't abandon her.

Ahhhhh!

That old man is scheming against him again!

Fine, considering she'd already learned such a big piece of gossip about him today, she'd let bygones be bygones and not stoop to his level.

The car stopped, and Wei Shuyan immediately opened the door. "Sister Rong, get in the car quickly."

Rong Zheng got on the bus.

The car started.

Wei Shuyan looked at Rong Zheng and said, "Sister Rong, shall we go get some ice cream?" Afraid that Rong Zheng would disagree, she quickly added, "You've stood me up so many times. You promised to go shopping with me this time, so you can't go back on your word."

The gossip burning within her is like a raging fire; it won't be extinguished unless she talks about it.
