“Really?” Song Chuyi put his hands in his pockets as he walked down the stairs step by step. His gaze was like a sharp sword.
Huang Hui subconsciously took a few steps back and her pupils shifted badly.
“Chuyi, what are you doing in the middle of the night?” Song Chulang’s voice suddenly came from upstairs. His tall silhouette was enveloped in the shadows in the hallway, emitting an indescribable sense of suppression.
Song Chuyi turned his head back and said to Huang Hui, “Go back to sleep first.”
“Yes, yes.” Huang Hui returned to the nanny’s room quickly as though she had received salvation.
Song Chulang walked down the stairs step by step. “Didn’t you return to the Yan Household?”
“Let’s go out for a chat,” Song Chuyi said.
Song Chulang’s brows shifted a little and he followed Song Chuyi outside to the garden slowly. He was wearing navy blue pyjamas and his steps were calm.
“Did you get Huang Hui to do something to the steps?” Song Chuyi turned his head back and his handsome face became colder and colder.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Song Chulang said lightly as he looked away.
“It’s very easy to kill two birds with one stone, right?” Song Chuyi squinted his deep eyes and said coldly, “Didn’t you want to get rid of the baby in Dai Ai’s womb from the moment you found out it was a boy? It just so happened that tonight, you could make the Song Family members all hate Changqing. You could’ve gotten someone to tamper with the stairs at any moment and after Dai Ai got into the accident, everyone was in a frenzy and it would’ve been very simple to casually bribe a servant to destroy the evidence.”
“Chuyi, you cannot make a wild guess based on your imagination.” Song Chulang didn’t ever look him straight in the eye. “Could I have predicted everything so well? Could I have predicted that they would fall down the stairs at the same time? On top of that, could I predict that Changqing would help Dai Ai while going down the stairs?”
“You’re so smart and scheming; what can’t you do?” Song Chuyi’s angry temples were pulsing. “All the coincidences that happened might’ve actually been a carefully planned scheme. After all, weren’t you the one who suggested to play ball tonight? Without me around? If something happened to Dai Ai, she wouldn’t have been able to get help in time. If it weren’t for Yunyang, the child would’ve died.”
“I cannot do anything about how you want to think of me.” Song Chulang’s eyes had an endless depth. “However… Dai Ai’s case might be the best ending for both of us. You’re right. I don’t agree with this child coming into the world. Isn’t Dai Ai just scheming to get a part of our Song Family’s inheritance? This woman, this woman who destroyed our family… it’s already not bad that I allowed her to marry into the family. Should I still let her have her way?”
“I don’t care about what Dai Ai is thinking, but the child is innocent.” Song Chuyi looked at Song Chulang like he was a stranger. “If you’re not willing to let the child have a part of the inheritance, there can be several methods to deal with that when the time comes. Why must you take life away from a child?”
“There could also be several other what-ifs we wouldn’t be able to control.” Song Chulang took in a light breath. “Chuyi, ever since you started practicing Medicine, you’ve become more and more benevolent. Also, ever since you’ve been with Yan Changqing, the distance between us brothers has become wider and wider. Also, there’s Yan Changqing. You two used to be so in love. Now, when Yunyang is suffering the most, you don’t even care about her feelings and only care about taking wedding photos with Yan Changqing. Today, something like that happened at the hospital, but you were still in the mood to have sex. Should I say that she’s too good at bewitching you or is it that you’ve become hornier…?”
“So you had to set this up today?” Song Chuyi gritted his teeth and interrupted him. “Do you know when to stop? I’m not the one who loves Yunyang the most, whether then or now. You gave up way more than me. How do I have the cheek to be with her? Yan Changqing is my wife now. If you want to say I’m horny or anything else, you’re right—I just like to have sex with her. She did bewitch me. If you dare to do anything to harm her again, I won’t care about this family anymore. You guys can do whatever you want. As for you as a brother… I can only keep my distance from you.”
“What are you saying?” Song Chulang broke out into laughter from his anger. “Have you forgotten who told me sadly that we only have each other in this family when Dad and Mom got a divorce?”
“In the past, no matter when it was, I would’ve been envious of myself for having a brother.” Song Chuyi said hoarsely, “However, now, you’re doing things to harm the people around me. What did Changqing do wrong? Don’t judge other people with your own biases. Because of Yunyang, you feel that every woman around me is plotting and scheming. Not everyone is like Guan Ying. Changqing is very innocent; she lives in a healthy family. Please stop whatever you’re doing to harm her. Don’t let our dirty family corrupt her.”
“Dirty family?” Song Chulang’s thin lips curled into a mocking and cold curve. “You’re now protecting her with all you have, but who was the one who told me that other than Yunyang, you would never fall in love with anyone else again?”
“That was because… I didn’t know I could actually feel so comfortable being around another woman.” Song Chuyi said with exhaustion, “Bro, next time, interact with Changqing seriously without any biases and you will know that being with a woman like that will make your life clean and comfortable. Every time I eat with her family, I can see a family that is harmonious from within. This is something we never had at our family’s dining table. The marriage I want is this. I find it very heart-warming and I really don’t want us to get to a point where I would hate you.”
Song Chuyi gave him a complicated look and walked towards his car without looking back again.
Song Chulang watched his retreating back and his complexion looked somewhat bad.
Was Yan Changqing that good?
He couldn’t believe it at all.
The perception he got every time was nothing but her being seductive in front of his brother.
Chuyi was bewitched by this little vixen.
When Song Chuyi returned to the Yan Household, the light in the living room was on.
He stopped the engine and frowned while looking at the lights before opening the car door and stepping out.
Yan Lei was smoking while sitting in the living room.
“Dad, you aren’t asleep yet?” Song Chuyi sat opposite him.
“I can’t sleep thinking about Changqing’s matter.” Yan Lei sighed and said, “Whenever I chatted or went out with your Dad, I could tell he was very happy to have a child when he’s almost in his sixties. I can only hope that the child will be fine. If anything were to happen, I really don’t know how your family would treat Changqing.”
Song Chuyi thought for a while and said seriously, “No matter how they treat Changqing, the fact that she’s my wife doesn’t change and would never change. The matter with the Yan Family’s company won’t change either.”
“Actually, with the recent help from your Song Family, the company has received several large orders. In no time, we will be able to clear our debt. I’m just worried about Changqing.” Yan Lei said with distress, “The first time she returned from the Song Household, she told me that your dad and grandma liked her a lot. I was also reassured upon hearing that. You don’t know this, but Changqing is most scared of making the people she respects hate her. In this aspect, she’s very sensitive. However, her clumsiness is also to be blamed. This issue is indeed serious.”
Song Chuyi’s lips moved complicatedly, but he didn’t make a sound in the end.
“Right, where did you go so late at night? The hospital?” Yan Lei asked suddenly.
“… I took a trip back to the Song Household.”
Yan Lei nodded and didn’t ask him why he went back. He only said, “I’ll have to depend on you to put in more effort on your family’s side. I will also educate Changqing properly in the future. In any case, the ties between our families cannot be strained.”
“Dad, you don’t have to educate Changqing.” Song Chuyi had mixed emotions. “She… she’s already very upset.”
Why must Changqing be the scapegoat for what Song Chulang did?
However, Song Chulang was his birth brother too.
Ever since their mother left, the two of them really only depended and helped each other in this family.
He never thought they would end up like this today.
“Chuyi, it’s Changqing’s fortune to be able to find you.” Yan Lei nodded. “As a father, I just hope that she won’t have too much stress and can be happy.”
Upstairs, Song Chuyi changed into his pyjamas quietly and sat on the edge of the bed, watching that soundly sleeping face for a while. Suddenly, her brows knitted together, her body moved slightly and she whimpered softly, opening her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” He bent down and put his arms around her shoulders gently, interlocking his fingers with hers. His voice late at night was hoarse yet gentle. “Pain?”
“Mm, head hurts.”
He sighed softly and carried her, resting her little face on his chest. He lowered his head and blew softly on the wound on her head.
“And my knees hurt…” Changqing mumbled softly again.
“Mm, I’ll help you rub them.” He used his other hand to rub her knees gently.
Changqing’s little face leaned on his chest and she slowly closed her eyes. In no time at all, she started to breathe softly.
This setup wasn’t too bad but Song Chuyi was kept half-awake, mainly because he was worried that she would wake up from pain again.
The next morning, when Changqing woke up at seven, she woke him up with a start and his head felt heavy.
Perhaps he was too tired—he hadn’t slept the night before and he had to write a report in the office in the morning, then he slept for only three to four hours in the afternoon and he basically didn’t sleep much the previous night. His eyes were blood-shot.
Changqing saw that his eye bags were worse than before and she felt slightly remorseful. “Do you want to sleep longer?”
Song Chuyi looked at the time and pulled her into his embrace. The moment his eyes closed, it seemed as though his lids were glued together. However, once the woman in his embrace moved, he woke up again.
He lowered his head and kissed her face. “Can’t sleep anymore?”
“Mm,” Changqing said softly. “Go ahead and sleep. I’ll get up first.”
“Forget it; I have to go to work too.” Although Song Chuyi said that, he didn’t move, feeling lethargic all over.
Changqing could tell he was really tired. “Why don’t you take leave? How are you going to work like this?”
“… I can’t.” Song Chuyi sighed silently inside. “The incident yesterday might not be settled yet too…”
He didn’t finish his sentence but Changqing knew what he wanted to say and sat up immediately. “I’ll go to the hospital with you. I’ll go take a look at Dai Ai—she should be awake.”
