Chapter 698: To Save or Not to Save?
“Dear Sister Rong’er!” Song Qingshu’s eyes lit up, and he ran over excitedly.
Seeing the bright smile on the man before her, Huang Rong’s face flushed red and then turned pale. She scoffed inwardly: ‘He looks so refined and gentlemanly now, but last night, he was like a beast, only knowing how to ravage me. Men really can’t be judged by their appearance.’
Hearing him call her “Dear Sister Rong’er!”, Huang Rong shuddered involuntarily. She instinctively took a step back to keep some distance and said in a flustered manner, “D-Don’t call me that.”
Song Qingshu’s smile instantly froze. ‘Weren’t things fine just yesterday? Did something happen?’ He couldn’t help feeling frustrated. He had spent an enormous effort last night just to make her agree to let him call her that, and now she was acting like this. ‘W0men really are fickle! Does she even want me to save her husband or not?’
Of course, he didn’t dare voice these thoughts, lest he leave her with the impression that he was taking advantage of her predicament.
Seeing his aggrieved expression, Huang Rong felt like crying but had no tears. ‘Who’s the one being wronged here? Last night, I wasn’t just your sister—I even played the role of your lover!’
But no matter what had happened in the middle of the night, Huang Rong would never admit it. She could only put on a stern face and let out a cold snort.
Song Qingshu found her behavior utterly baffling, but considering that she was probably in a bad mood because of her husband’s situation, he let it go. ‘As a man, I should be more magnanimous.’
“Dear Sister Rong’er!, have you finished handling the Beggar Gang’s affairs?” Though he was understanding, he had no intention of actually listening to her request. Clearly, Song Qingshu had thick skin—he wasn’t about to give up the privilege he had won just because of a cold stare.
