Chapter 592: The Proud Young Lady
Looking at Ren Yingying’s furious expression, Song Qingshu couldn’t help but sigh. “Miss Ren, it seems you still don’t understand the situation. Whether you agree to this marriage or not doesn’t matter in the slightest. Do you really think I’m marrying you for you? I’m marrying into the power of the Sun Moon Holy Cult, while your father gains the support of a strong ally like the Golden Serpent Camp. So, regardless of what you think, this marriage is inevitable.”
Ren Yingying knew the rationale behind this all too well. However, she couldn’t accept the sudden and drastic changes in her life, nor could she come to terms with her father’s cold-heartedness.
Noticing her distraught expression, Song Qingshu cleared his throat. “It’s getting late. Why don’t you escort me to my room to rest?” Though he said this, he knew she would never take him to her private chambers willingly. Without hesitation, he scooped her up and headed towards her courtyard. After all, he had been there more than once before.

“What am I doing? Don’t you know?” Song Qingshu’s qinggong was exceptional, and in mere moments, he carried Ren Yingying into her bedroom.
“You shameless scoundrel!” Ren Yingying’s face turned crimson.
“I’m just escorting the young lady back to her room. What are you imagining?” Song Qingshu gently placed her on the bed and stepped back a few paces, keeping a respectable distance, with a look of exaggerated innocence.
“You!” Ren Yingying knew he was teasing her, but there was nothing she could do.
“Alright, alright. Don’t look like the world is collapsing,” Song Qingshu said, clearing his throat. “The alliance between the Golden Serpent Camp and the Sun Moon Holy Cult is already a done deal, so you should abandon any thoughts of refusing this marriage…”
