Song Nian also saw the skimpy underwear. Her face couldn’t help but turn red. How could Zheng Chengyang have the nerve to buy it?

After a pause, she put on the clothes nonetheless. The size of the undergarment was quite accurate. Even though the shoes were a little too big, it didn’t matter.

After putting it on, Song Nian stood up and stretched for a while, then nodded, “It’s about time. Let’s go.”

Qi Yu’s gaze lingered on Song Nian for a while before he left. It was still lively outside the hotel. Qi Yu walked to the door first and opened the lounge door a little. Zheng Chengyang stood guard at the door. When he saw the two of them come out, he came over and asked, “Can we go now?”

His gaze passed Qi Yu and looked at Song Nian who was standing behind him. Song Nian felt a little awkward, but she also nodded. Zheng Chengyang looked at Qi Yu again, “Let’s go out the back door. Director Liu was looking for you just now.”

Qi Yu snorted, “He has the audacity to look for me?”

Zheng Chengyang glanced at Song Nian and said, “Yeah.” Song Nian pretended not to hear anything. She couldn’t act rashly in front of Zheng Chengyang. If it were Qi Yu alone, she would definitely mock him.

Zheng Chengyang led the two of them out of the hotel’s back door. There was already a car waiting outside. Zheng Chengyang rode shotgun while Song Nian and Qi Yu sat in the back. Song Nian was a little tired, so she leaned against the seat to rest after getting into the car. Qi Yu took out his phone, and his slender fingers kept tapping on the screen. It was unknown who he was texting.

Zheng Chengyang looked at Song Nian through the rearview mirror and slowly gave her a thumbs up. Song Nian rolled her eyes and turned to look out of the car window.

Her back was aching, and she just wanted to go back to the hotel to sleep. She was caught in this situation twice. It was really not romantic at all. Song Nian thought that She seduced Qi Yu on the night of the divorce, but in the end, it was because of the drugs.

As expected, it was too good to be true. 

The car didn’t stop at the entrance of the hotel. Song Nian asked the driver to stop when the car was a certain distance away from the hotel. Zheng Chengyang and Qi Yu were both stunned. Song Nian waited for the car to stop before she opened the door and got out, “I’ll get out first. I won’t be going back to the hotel together with you guys.”

Qi Yu slowly retracted his gaze and didn’t have any special reaction. After Song Nian closed the car door, he said calmly, “Let’s go.”

Zheng Chengyang carefully observed Qi Yu through the rearview mirror. Qi Yu lowered his head and continued to look at his phone. Zheng Chengyang opened the car window and looked at Song Nian, standing by the side of the road. Song Nian was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and a denim skirt, her soft hair draped over her shoulders. Her face was fair, and she looked like an innocent and naive young girl. 

Zheng Chengyang retracted his gaze and mumbled, “Song Nian didn’t come back to the hotel with us. Is she afraid of being seen and misunderstood?”

Qi Yu didn’t reply.

Zheng Chengyang waited for a while before saying, “That’s probably true. She has a suitor staying at the hotel. It wouldn’t be good if she was seen.”

Qi Yu slowly raised his head and looked at Zheng Chengyang with raised eyebrows, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Zheng Chengyang quickly waved his hand, “Nothing, nothing. I’m just expressing my thoughts.”

Qi Yu sneered. He couldn’t be bothered to expose him.

Song Nian slowly walked towards the hotel. Actually, the place where she got off was not far from the hotel. At night, it was quite lively here. There were all kinds of snack stalls by the roadside. Song Nian looked around while walking, but before she reached the hotel entrance, she saw a familiar face. 

Shen Chong was shopping with a vendor on the side of the road. It seemed to be some local souvenirs. Song Nian pondered for a moment, walked over, and patted Shen Chong from behind, “Hi!”

Shen Chong was startled. He turned around and saw Song Nian. He stared at her for a long time before he recognized her, “Hey, it’s you! I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Song Nian chuckled, “Are you shopping?”

Shen Chong paid the vendor and then said to Song Nian, “I went to the hotel the other day to get some stomach medicine for you, but when I went back to the beach, you were gone.”

Song Nian had a smile on her face, “I was sent to the hospital. My stomach was bleeding, and I was hospitalized for two days. I just came out.”

Shen Chong was shocked, “It’s that serious?”

Song Nian nodded nonchalantly, “Yeah, it’s a recurring illness. I’m fine now.” After saying that, she looked up at the sky and asked, “Do you have anything else to do next? If there’s nothing else, why don’t we walk back together?”

Shen Chong nodded hurriedly, “Sure. Let’s walk together.”

The two of them walked slowly towards the hotel. When they reached the hotel entrance, Song Nian saw a car parked not far away. It was the car that had just brought them back. The windows were tinted, so it was impossible to see if the people inside were still there, but it didn’t matter.

Song Nian chatted casually with Shen Chong and asked him where he had been in the past two days. Shen Chong enthusiastically told her about his itinerary. The two of them entered the hotel lobby with smiles on their faces..
