Chapter 26 - Why Are You Here Again?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Yu and Zheng Chengyang were in the hotel lobby. Qi Yu was standing next to a tall plant while Zheng Chengyang was standing not far away. Song Nian saw them as soon as she entered the room, but she pretended not to see them.

Shen Chong happened to mention something he saw when he went out to play. Song Nian raised her lips and giggled, “Really? That sounds interesting.”

Shen Chong also laughed and took the opportunity to ask, “Are you busy tomorrow? If not, let’s go out together. I heard that there’s a scenic spot here that’s quite nice. Do you want to go and take a look?”

Song Nian pursed her lips, “Is that so?”

From the corner of her eye, she saw Zheng Chengyang pulling Qi Yu’s arm as if asking him to look over. Song Nian did not think too long and nodded as she walked, “Alright! What time do we leave tomorrow?”

Seeing that Song Nian had agreed, Shen Chong became much more affable. “Let’s leave early tomorrow. If It’s too late, the weather will be too hot, and it’s easy to get heatstroke. I’ll call you tomorrow morning, and we’ll leave around five o’clock. How about that?”

Song Nian nodded, “Sure.”

After saying that, Song Nian heard Zheng Chengyang’s voice, “Are you hearing this? They’re going out together now. Just a man and a woman!”

Zheng Chengyang did not lower his voice when he spoke. So, Song Nian could clearly hear his words. However, she did not show any reaction. Without even looking at the people over there, she smiled and followed Shen Chong to the elevator.

Shen Chong pressed the elevator number first. Song Nian smiled and simply pressed a random number above him. As the elevator went up, Shen Chong asked Song Nian how long he planned to stay here. Song Nian thought about it and said, “I don’t think it will be long. My friend asked me to go somewhere else.”

Shen Chong felt a little down, “Really? That’s such a pity.”

Song Nian smiled and comforted him, “It’s okay. We can still keep in touch in the future.”

The elevator stopped at Shen Chong’s floor. When Shen Chong went out, Song Nian waved at him. When the elevator door closed, Song Nian pressed the button for her actual floor. She leaned against the elevator and let out a long sigh. It was really torturous to smile at strangers. She actually didn’t want to smile at all.

After the elevator reached the floor, Song Nian went straight to her room. She threw her phone on the bed and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Her body was sticky and uncomfortable.

While taking a shower, Song Nian looked down at her waist. There were bruises on both sides of her waist. Qi Yu, that d*mned man, was really merciless.

She was too tired. After a simple shower, she changed into her pajamas and came out. She had eaten before she went to the hotel, but after the physical session in the lounge, her stomach had long been empty.

Song Nian ordered room service. However, the food did not arrive after a long time. Song Nian had no choice but to get up from her bed and go out to have a look. The corridor was empty, and there was no service staff. She walked towards the elevator to see if the food would arrive soon. 

However, when she reached the elevator door, the elevator opened. It was not the service staff who came out.

Song Nian frowned, “You again? Why are you guys here?”

Qi Yu didn’t say anything. He glanced at her and walked toward his own room. Zheng Chengyang followed behind him and answered Song Nian’s question, “We stay on this floor too.”

Song Nian immediately laughed. That’s right. Zheng Chengyang had already booked her and Qi Yu’s plane seats together, so how could he not do the same for the hotel rooms?

She nodded, “Alright.”

Song Nian turned to look at Qi Yu’s back. Qi Yu’s room wasn’t too close to hers, and several rooms were between them. Zheng Chengyang was supposed to leave with Qi Yu, but he stood where he was and asked Song Nian, “Are you going out with that man tomorrow?”

Song Nian nodded, “Yes, why?”

Zheng Chengyang pointed at her, “Why are you so bold? You’ve only known that man for a few days, and you want to go out with him?”

Song Nian smiled, “I didn’t know that you were so conservative. If I don’t go out, how would I ever get to know him?”

Zheng Chengyang stared at Song Nian for a while and seemed helpless. He lowered his voice, “Song Nian, tell me the truth. Are you really not interested in your ex-husband anymore? Maybe if you put more effort, the two of you will…”

Song Nian raised her hand to interrupt him, “What are you talking about? We are already divorced, okay?”

After saying that, she turned around and walked toward her room. The smile on her face had disappeared entirely.

Why did she have to put in any effort? Hadn’t she worked hard enough in the past? Was a marriage something that could be managed through hard work alone? Why did she have to work so hard to make it right?

What a joke.

Song Nian returned to her room and closed the door. She leaned against the door weakly. Her chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable. However, when she was angry, she remembered something important.. She was ovulating!
