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

Rong Zheng felt she had never been so embarrassed in her life. Her face was so red it felt like it was about to split open, and the more flustered she became, the more confused she became.

She hurriedly stepped out of the car, feeling so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. She didn't dare look Song Shiyan in the eye. "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

She heard the man respond with a low "Mm," and after two seconds, he said, "Don't stand there, get in the car."

Rong Zheng walked around the front of the car and got on from the other side.

Uncle Chen started the car, and soon it merged into the traffic and headed towards Jinsha Bay.

After Rong Zheng got into the car, her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest. How embarrassing! So incredibly embarrassing!

I almost hit my head twice.

The spot on her head that she hit hurt a lot, but she was too embarrassed to even touch it.

She was feeling uneasy when suddenly she felt a weight on her shoulder.

Lu Peichuan leaned his whole body against her, his head resting on her shoulder.

A strong aroma of alcohol wafted over.

Rong Zheng frowned and nudged Lu Peichuan's head, but the man was too heavy for her to move. "Lu Peichuan, sit down."

Lu Peichuan nuzzled his head against Rong Zheng's shoulder and murmured, "Zhengzheng, let's not get a divorce, okay?"

Rong Zheng, who was about to push Lu Peichuan away again, suddenly stopped and looked at Song Shiyan. She met the man's gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked away, her fingers unconsciously clenching as she awaited Song Shiyan's questioning.

Song Shiyan reached out and gently pulled Lu Peichuan's arm away from Rong Zheng. He then placed a cushion between Rong Zheng and Lu Peichuan, and then placed another cushion between himself and Lu Peichuan.

Lu Peichuan nestled between the cushions, finally settling into a stable position.

Rong Zheng didn't dare look at Song Shiyan, afraid of seeing his questioning gaze, and only lowered her head to whisper, "Thank you."

There was no reply from the man for quite a while.

She secretly glanced at Song Shiyan out of the corner of her eye. He was looking out the window with his lips pursed, his profile cold and deep. She wondered if he was thinking about something very serious, and his jawline was slightly tense.

Why didn't you ask anything? Did you not hear me?

Lu Peichuan's voice wasn't loud; he just muttered something, so Song Shiyan definitely didn't hear it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained silent about something as big as divorce.

Thinking this, Rong Zheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

Otherwise, if he finds out, how will she get a divorce?

There are only four days left, and we can't afford to make a mistake at this crucial juncture.

They remained silent for the rest of the journey.

The car drove into Jinsha Bay and stopped in front of the villa. Fang Zheng had already arrived. As soon as Uncle Chen parked the car, Fang Zheng came over and opened the car door on Song Shiyan's side.

Song Shiyan got out of the car.

Just as Rong Zheng was about to help Lu Peichuan up, Fang Zheng spoke up: "Miss Rong, let me help you."

Rong Zheng was more than happy to accept, and said, "Thank you."

After she got out of the car, Uncle Chen and Fang Zheng helped Lu Peichuan out of the car and then supported him as they walked towards the villa.

Just as Rong Zheng was about to follow, Song Shiyan's deep, clear voice rang out, "Wait a moment."

She turned her head, her gaze passing over the car to Song Shiyan standing on the other side. "Is there anything else, brother?"

Song Shiyan stared intently at Rong Zheng, "You two are getting a divorce?"

Rong Zheng's pupils suddenly trembled.

He heard it! He actually heard it!

What to do? What to do?

Don't panic, stay calm, you must stay calm.

Rong Zheng forced herself to calm down and forced a smile. "No, Pei Chuan is drunk and talking nonsense."

Song Shiyan glanced at Rong Zheng for a moment, as if he believed her words, and nodded slightly, "Yes, go in."

Rong Zheng knew she should invite Song Shiyan in for a chat and a cup of tea, but she was too flustered to remain composed in front of him, so she didn't mention it and turned to enter the villa.

Fang Zheng helped Lu Peichuan into the bedroom.

Rong Zheng then came in and covered Lu Peichuan with a blanket, then looked at Fang Zheng and said, "Assistant Fang, thank you."

Fang Zheng: "You're welcome. Mr. Song is still waiting for me, so I'll be going now."

"Take care and be careful on the road."

Fang Zheng nodded, and before leaving, glanced at the head of the bed with a puzzled look.

Rong Zheng went to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw Song Shiyan standing by the car smoking. The cigarette between his fingers flickered. The man stood in the night, tall and slender, wearing a black shirt and black trousers. If it weren't for the light shining from the doorway, he would almost blend into the night.

Fang Zheng left quickly.

Song Shiyan stubbed out his cigarette and got into the car.

The car drove away and disappeared into the night in a short while.

Rong Zheng raised her hand and pressed it against her pounding chest. He didn't ask any more questions, so he must have believed her, right?

In the car.

Song Shiyan lowered his gaze slightly, his fingers gently stroking the rosewood bracelet on his wrist. "Was the person taken to the bedroom?"

Fang Zheng: "Yes."

Is there anything unusual in the room?

There is only one pillow on the bed.

Song Shiyan paused slightly, his thumb and forefinger pinching a bead with a bit too much force, as if he was trying to hide his inner emotions. After two seconds, he loosened his fingers and continued to rub the bracelet as if nothing had happened. "Check their relationship status."

"Okay." Fang Zheng glanced at the rearview mirror subconsciously. The man in the back seat had a calm expression, showing no sign of anything unusual.

Rong Zheng went back to the children's room to sleep with her daughter, while Xu Ma went to the master bedroom to take care of the drunk Lu Peichuan.

The next day, Rong Zheng and Xu Ma gave Tangtang a bath together.

Rong Zheng sensed that Xu Ma seemed to have something to say, but hesitated several times. "Xu Ma, just say what you have to say. There's no need to hide anything from me."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Ma said, "Someone called Mr. Lu in the middle of the night last night. It was an unknown number, but Mr. Lu was very drunk and sleeping soundly, so he didn't answer. Later, that number sent a message."

Rong Zheng vaguely understood why Xu Ma had hesitated to speak; she guessed that Su Qingya was the one who called and texted Lu Peichuan. "What did the message say?"

Xu Ma started stammering again.

Rong Zheng said calmly, "Go ahead, we've already signed the divorce agreement and are just waiting for the cooling-off period to end so we can get the divorce certificate."

Xu's mother thought that Rong Zheng's last time telling her not to mention divorce and to pretend she didn't know meant that she wanted to start over with Lu Peichuan and live a good life. She never expected that the divorce agreement had already been signed.

Since that's the case, she had nothing to hide. "The message said I missed you, that I'm back, and that you should come and keep me company... I didn't see what came after that, and I didn't dare to open the message."

It's definitely Su Qingya.

It seems that her phone call to Su Qingya last night worked.

This is really good news.

Did Lu Peichuan check his messages when he woke up this morning?

Aunt Xu nodded, "I've seen it."

"What was the reaction?"

"When President Lu woke up this morning and saw the message, he hurriedly washed up and went out without even having breakfast."

Rong Zheng's lips curled into a sneer. Was this his way of turning over a new leaf?

Men's words are deceitful, but thankfully, she didn't believe him.

Hopefully, Su Qingya won't disappoint her.
