Chapter 40 - Honesty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sometimes, Song Nian really admired Qi Yu’s straightforward approach, but at the same time, she also really disliked his way of doing things. He did not leave any room for Song Nian to maneuver with just one sentence.

Song Nian licked her lips, “Alright, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning.”

Qi Yu got her promise, and without saying anything else, he turned around and left with Zheng Chengyang.

Zheng Chengyang wasn’t willing to leave just like that, “Boss, you can go back first. I want to chat with Song Nian for a while.”

Qi Yu frowned, and Zheng Chengyang quickly added, “Her stomach isn’t well. I’ll stay and take a look. I’ll leave in a while. I won’t disturb her.”

This time, Qi Yu didn’t say anything else and left directly.

After Qi Yu left, Zheng Chengyang darted into the bedroom, “Hey, my lady boss, what are you still thinking about? This is such a good opportunity!”

Meeting Song Nian’s calm gaze, Zheng Chengyang smiled sheepishly and corrected himself, “Ex-lady boss, it’s ex-lady boss.” He addressed Song Nian the way he did in his excitement. 

Zheng Chengyang walked over and sat down on the chair beside Song Nian’s bed, “Didn’t I tell you? Your ex-husband is really popular with women. We’ve only been out for a few hours today, and that woman already came knocking on our door. Do you know that that woman almost stripped herself naked and laid on your ex-husband’s bed? You have to be aware of the danger!”

Song Nian was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Zheng Chengyang, “That woman came knocking on his door?”

Zheng Chengyang nodded. He was very serious, “Of course. The phone call I received earlier was from your ex-husband. That woman was right outside your ex-husband’s room. She was wearing a bikini. Wasn’t it evident that she was offering herself?

“Your ex-husband has great willpower and can control the situation. That’s why there wasn’t any chaos. Then…”

He paused for a moment. Song Nian knew what he meant, so she answered, “Then what happened?”

Zheng Chengyang slapped his thigh, “Then that woman confessed to your ex-husband! She even said that she had liked him for a long time, but your ex-husband wasn’t moved at all. She even told that woman that he and his wife were on very good terms.”

Of course, Zheng Chengyang was spouting nonsense. Qi Yu didn’t tell him too many details and only gave a rough description. However, his ability to make up stories was superb. When the truth and falsehood were mixed, it sounded pretty plausible.

Then, he continued, “After that woman heard it, she started to get angry out of embarrassment. She rolled around and said that your ex-husband had been drugged and betrayed his marriage. If this matter were to spread, your ex-husband’s reputation would be ruined.”

Zheng Chengyang said nonsense with a straight face, “When your ex-husband heard that, he laughed. He admitted that he had indeed been drugged, but he was with his wife after that. Oh, he mentioned the word “wife!” Listen to this. It’s so exciting!”

Song Nian actually wanted to say that. What was so exciting about that? But when she saw Zheng Chengyang’s excited and slightly exaggerated expression, she swallowed her words.

Zheng Chengyang stared at Song Nian, “Well, I’ll tell you the truth. When a man is drugged, he would be desperate. After all, he’s under the influence of the drug. It would be fine to have any woman by his side to satisfy him quickly. But look at your ex-husband. He controlled himself, and only after seeing you…”

Song Nian’s body stiffened. She got down from the bed and opened the window, looking at the weather outside through the window. Although Zheng Chengyang’s words were exaggerated, the key events remained unchanged. The woman’s visit should be real.

Song Nian stood for a while and only turned back to change the subject, “I’m hungry. I want to go down and eat.”

Zheng Chengyang got up and followed suit, “Is your stomach still unwell? Did you take your medicine when you came back?”

Although Song Nian changed the topic, it would be fine as long as she listened to him.

“I just took medicine.” Song Nian shrugged.

When Zheng Chengyang heard that, he quickly said, “Then what are you waiting for? Hurry down and eat. I’ll go with you.”

“Why are you going with me?” Song Nian was a little annoyed with him.

Zheng Chengyang said with a straight face, “How would I know what you ordered if I didn’t go with you? You’ll only order the things you can’t eat. Your stomach isn’t well now, so you have to eat something light, okay? Don’t treat your own body like it’s nothing.”

Although Zheng Chengyang didn’t seem reliable, he was good to her.

The two of them left Song Nian’s room. As they walked toward the elevator, Zheng Chengyang suddenly ran to Qi Yu’s room and knocked on the door. Without waiting for the person inside to open the door, he shouted, “Boss, the lady boss and I are going down to eat. You should join us.. Haven’t you eaten yet?”
