After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

Song Shiyan turned off his phone and looked at Rong Zheng. "Awake?"

"Hmm." Rong Zheng immediately sat up straight, and the blanket covering her slipped down to her legs. She looked down at the blanket and was stunned. Where did the blanket come from?

Did Wei Shuyan cover her with it?

By the way, where is Wei Shuyan?

Rong Zheng looked around the room.

Song Shiyan seemed to have read her mind. "She was hungry and went out to get something to eat."

Rong Zheng nodded. "Why is Big Brother here?"

Song Shiyan gestured to his phone, "Come and take care of some work."

Rong Zheng folded the blanket neatly and placed it on the sofa. "Big brother, you're busy. I won't bother you any longer."

Song Shiyan nodded slightly.

Rong Zheng got up and walked towards the door. After a few steps, she heard Song Shiyan ask, "Did you and Pei Chuan have a fight?"

Rong Zheng paused slightly. It seemed that Lu Peichuan had seen her and her husband having a disagreement. She didn't know the content of their conversation, but judging from the surface, it did seem like a quarrel between a married couple.

Rong Zheng nodded in agreement with Song Shiyan's words, "Mm."

"The way couples get along is also an art."

With this elder-like tone of advice, Rong Zheng waited for him to continue saying things like how couples should be more tolerant of each other, but what the man said next was completely unexpected.

He said, "But no matter how you handle it, remember one thing: life is short, don't wrong yourself."

Rong Zheng looked at Song Shiyan in surprise, and almost instinctively asked, "What if things don't work out?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Song Shiyan's usually calm eyes, but it vanished in an instant, leaving no trace. "Then let's not date." As he said this, his fingers tightened slightly around his phone.

Not to be dealt with?

It's not like we're dating, so you can't just stop dating whenever you want.

She and Lu Peichuan are husband and wife, and they have a marriage certificate. Dating is a matter between two people, and they can choose not to date if they want to. But marriage involves two families, especially since they have a child together. It's not something that can be easily dissolved.

Rong Zheng thought that Song Shiyan might be able to think of things so simply because he had never been married.

Or perhaps it's because he's always been in a high position, and others have always accommodated him. If he doesn't want to be in a relationship, he can simply choose not to, which is why he can speak so casually.

The two individuals have completely different identities and circumstances, so their ways of handling things will naturally be different as well.

Rong Zheng didn't want to say anything more, afraid that saying too much would make her make a mistake, so she simply said, "I was just saying. Big brother, you're busy. I'm going out now."

Song Shiyan slowly loosened his grip on the phone. "Mm."

Rong Zheng turned and left the lounge. She must have drunk some hot water and dozed off for a while. The pain in her stomach wasn't as intense anymore; it was just a slight, dull ache that she could bear.

Rong Zheng arrived at the banquet hall, and soon Lu Peichuan came over. "Are you hungry? There are some snacks over there, would you like something to eat?"

The man's face was gentle, and his voice was full of concern, as if the unpleasantness between the two had never happened.

When you're dead, you won't even have the mind to argue.

Rong Zheng continued to cooperate, "Okay."

She was indeed a little hungry.

Lu Peichuan accompanied Rong Zheng to pick out some pastries.

Rong Zheng ate some food, and soon after, Shen Qiuxian arrived. She went on stage and said a few words of thanks to everyone for coming. After that, everyone offered their birthday wishes.

The birthday gifts were handed over to the butler who was in charge of managing the gifts before they entered the banquet hall. The butler registered them all, and return gifts would be mailed later.

After the birthday celebration, Shen Qiuxian cut the cake, accompanied by Song Shiyan.

Next, we ate longevity noodles.

Waiters filed out, each carrying a tray with steaming longevity noodles.

Actually, this is just a ceremony, symbolizing adding years to one's life. Everyone eats a few bites as a token gesture, and then the food is all taken away.

Shen Qiuxian is getting old and has limited energy. After eating the longevity noodles and saying goodbye to some relatives and friends, she went back to rest.

At this point, anyone who wants to leave can do so.

Some people left because they had urgent business, while others who were interested in cooperation left together to go to other places for further exchanges. Of course, there were also men and women who took a liking to each other and left together to seek pleasure.

Before long, a third of the people in the banquet hall had left, but it was still very lively. The remaining people would probably stay until the early hours of the morning.

Rong Zheng looked at Lu Peichuan, "Shall we go back?"

"I've just made contact with an overseas client, and we're interested in collaborating. Let me introduce you to them."

"No need, it's enough that you know him."

"Zhengzheng..."

"I'm not feeling well," Rong Zheng interrupted Lu Peichuan.

Lu Peichuan felt that Rong Zheng was making excuses and was actually unhappy about what happened before, but he couldn't force her anymore, otherwise she would only be more unhappy. "Then you go back first. There are still some people I want to meet."

Rong Zheng readily agreed, "Okay," and then turned and left.

Bai Yuxiu walked to Lu Peichuan's side. "Why did Rong Zheng leave?"

"She's not feeling well."

Bai Yuxiu frowned in displeasure. "What's wrong? I think she just doesn't want to cooperate with you. I used to think it was because of her low social status, but now it seems her character is also low. She goes back on her word and has no credibility whatsoever. It's a good thing you signed it..."

"Mom," Lu Peichuan interrupted Bai Yuxiu coldly.

Bai Yuxiu saw the warning in her son's eyes, pursed her lips, said nothing more, and turned to find Lu Xingyao.

Rong Zheng returned to the small building, picked up the landline to call the housekeeper, and said somewhat apologetically, "Hello, could you please buy me some sanitary napkins?"

It's just that this is the suburbs, there's nowhere to buy it, and she needed it urgently, so she had no choice but to ask the housekeeper.

"Young Master has given instructions on this matter. The items have already been sent to you and should arrive soon."

Has Song Shiyan given the instructions?

How did he know she had her period?

Rong Zheng immediately thought of Wei Shuyan; it seemed that Wei Shuyan had told him.

Why would this girl tell others about something like this?

That's Song Shiyan, the aloof, cold, and superior Song Shiyan.

When he instructed the housekeeper to buy sanitary napkins, how did he pronounce the words "sanitary napkins"?

How could such words come out of the mouth of someone like him?

The thought of that scene made Rong Zheng feel extremely ashamed. She whispered "thank you" and immediately hung up the phone.

A moment later, a commotion was heard downstairs.

Rong Zheng went downstairs.

The housekeeper pointed to the large black bag on the table, "These are the sanitary napkins you requested. We didn't know what kind you use, so we bought some of various brands and sizes."

Then he pointed to the steaming kettle next to him, "This is ginger and brown sugar water. Drink some, it will make you feel better. It can be heated anytime by plugging it in."

That's so thoughtful!

Rong Zheng sincerely said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. If you need anything else, feel free to call me anytime."

"it is good."

The butler left.

Rong Zheng took the sanitary napkins and ginger brown sugar water upstairs. She drank a cup while it was still hot and instantly felt warm and comfortable. Then she took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

She sat on the bed, intending to read for a while before going to sleep, but then she remembered that Song Shiyan had asked the housekeeper to bring her sanitary napkins. Should she thank him?

But this kind of thing seems a bit difficult to talk about.

But if she doesn't say anything, it feels like she's ungrateful.

After thinking for a moment, Rong Zheng decided to send a message to Song Shiyan.
