To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Just then, Song Qingci walked out from the side hall.

Her complexion had returned to normal by now.

She looked around and her gaze quickly settled on Jiang Jinhuan, who was standing in the corner.

She walked quickly over, stopped in front of him, and took a deep breath.

"Jin Huan, I'll explain Bai Zifeng's matter to you later. It's absolutely not what you think! I have nothing to do with him!"

Jiang Jinhuan looked at her and smiled faintly: "No need to explain, I understand!"

Song Qingci was taken aback: "You understand? You understand what?"

Jiang Jin Huan did not answer, but simply picked up his wine glass and gently touched hers.

Jiang Jin Huan said, "Today is New Year's Eve, have a good New Year!"

At this moment, his tone became gentle and distant, as if he were talking to an ordinary business partner.

Looking at him like this, Song Qingci suddenly felt a strange and inexplicable panic.

She would rather he be angry, rather he questioned her, or even rather he smashed a glass and left.

But what she feared most was his nonchalant attitude.

It was as if everything about her had nothing to do with him.

Song Qingci grabbed Jiang Jinhuan's arm, her fingers trembling slightly.

Her eyes held a hint of panic and fear. "Jin Huan, I really have nothing to do with him. There must be some misunderstanding!"

She really doesn't know why Bai Zifeng's name is engraved on the watch strap.

So that's all she could say.

The biggest problem is that it can't be explained clearly; nobody knows why Bai Zifeng's name is engraved on that watch strap.

This is a dagger, piercing the bond between her and Jiang Jinhuan. If this dagger isn't removed, she'll likely find it difficult to take things further with Jiang Jinhuan.

Jiang Jinhuan narrowed his eyes. Based on his professional judgment, Song Qingci seemed to be telling the truth.

But there's no way to explain this. If it wasn't her, how would the shop assistant know Bai Zifeng's name, and how would she have engraved it on the shop?

This makes no sense.

Jiang Jinhuan could only say that he was wrong in his judgment of Song Qingci. Song Qingci had evolved to a point that he could not understand. Otherwise, everything would be inexplicable.

Unless someone deliberately tries to sow discord, but that possibility seems extremely slim at the moment, because the person who could engrave words on that watch would definitely not be an ordinary person.

Bai Zifeng walked over with a glass of wine, looking every bit the gentleman, and stood naturally next to Song Qingci, almost touching her shoulder.

This is like a declaration of sovereignty.

"Qingci, have your aunt and uncle made any arrangements?" Bai Zifeng's tone was intimate and natural. "When does the New Year's Eve dinner start? I'm starving."

Song Qingci subconsciously moved aside, distancing herself from Bai Zifeng.

But Bai Zifeng seemed oblivious and took another step forward.

Song Qingci frowned and said, "Bai Zifeng, please have some self-respect!"

Bai Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and his face stiffened for a second.

The others in the room fell silent instantly, some surprised, some confused, and some incredulous!

"This isn't right, Qingci doesn't seem to like Bai Zifeng!"

"Indeed, that subconscious physical reaction didn't seem fake; she hated Bai Zifeng getting close!"

"What's going on?"

"They were just hugging Jiang Jinhuan so intimately a moment ago, but now they're so distant with Bai Zifeng. The contrast is too stark!"

"So, who said Qingci likes Bai Zifeng?"

"You don't like it? How do you explain the ten million dollar watch?"

Everyone fell silent again. Yes, this watch was hard to explain, and anyone would assume that Song Qingci liked Bai Zifeng!

Jiang Jinhuan watched this scene with a calm expression.

He felt that Song Qingci was playing hard to get.

He played hard to get with Bai Zifeng.

And I am just a part of their game.

This feeling made him very unhappy.

Yesterday, this woman was still pleasing him under his body, and now she's playing hard to get with another man.

What exactly was Song Qingci thinking?

Jiang Jinhuan didn't want to play guessing games, nor did he want to engage in these pointless games with Song Qingci.

Besides, being a live-in son-in-law is absolutely unacceptable. Isn't it perfect that someone is taking over now?

Thinking of this, he put down his wine glass, glanced at his watch, and then said to Song Qingci, "I'm a little tired, I'll go rest for a bit."

After saying that, he turned and left the banquet hall.

He left gracefully and decisively, and he didn't intend to have much contact with Song Qingci until Song Qingci had resolved this matter.

Song Qingci watched his departing figure, her fingers clenching the hem of her clothes, her face full of panic. She wanted to chase after him, but Bai Zifeng stopped her.

"Qingci, forget about him. We haven't seen each other in ages. Talk to me. You can't just abandon your guest like this, can you?"

Bai's father also came over: "Hehe, Qingci, it's been a long time since you and Xiaofeng have seen each other. It's time to catch up!"

At this moment, Song's father walked over, his eyes flickering, and said to Bai's father, "Brother Weiguo, let's talk over there. The children can handle their own affairs!"

Song's father and Bai's father left together.

Song Qingci looked coldly at Bai Zifeng and said, "Bai Zifeng, what exactly do you want?"

Bai Zifeng's smile faded slightly, and his eyes became serious.

"What do I want to do? Qingci, three years ago when you told me to leave, you said you'd wait for me to come back. Now that I'm back, you're asking me what I want?"

Song Qingci frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "When did I ever say I would wait for you?"

"You said it," Bai Zifeng said firmly. "You said you'd talk about it when I got back, and I've been waiting to hear that."

Song Qingci opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but then she suddenly remembered.

Three years ago, Bai Zifeng did come to see her the night before he went abroad to study.

At the time, she told Bai Zifeng, "Go out and study hard first, and we'll talk when you come back."

This statement was made because Bai Zifeng was the young master of the Bai family, and as the daughter of the Song family, she had to give him some face.

That was just a polite remark she made to get Bai Zifeng to leave as soon as possible; she never imagined anything would happen between her and Bai Zifeng.

But to Bai Zifeng's surprise, it became a promise.

Today it was brought up again, leaving her unable to refute it, because in this situation, any explanation she offered would only make her look guilty!

And what about Bai Zifeng being her "white moonlight"? Is it because she once said that Bai Zifeng was a big spender and would spend all his allowance every month?

Because his surname is Bai, Song Qingci initially just jokingly remarked, "This is the real white moonlight."

Is it because of this sentence that the rumor spread that Bai Zifeng is her white moonlight?

It seems that it might actually be true.
