Chapter 712: Laying It All Out
Huang Rong had been calmly waiting to answer the last question before ending their late-night conversation, but she never expected Song Qingshu to say something like that!
Though his words were brief and spoken lightly, to Huang Rong, they struck like a thunderclap.
‘He knows! He knows!’ Huang Rong’s vision went black for a moment, and her soft body stiffened instantly, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Song Qingshu caught her by the shoulders to keep her from falling and said with a half-smile, “What’s wrong? Is this question really so hard to answer?”
Looking at the infuriating smirk on his face, Huang Rong wished she could strangle him. Was this not an incredibly difficult question to answer?
‘How could he know? I planned everything perfectly—there was no way he could have found out!’ Huang Rong’s mind was in chaos, but instead of responding to Song Qingshu, she quickly began analyzing the situation in her head.
However, after only a few thoughts, she gave up on figuring out where her plan had gone wrong. Since he already knew, there was no point in dwelling on how he had found out. Instead, she needed to focus on how to salvage the situation.
‘Brother Jing must never find out!’
That was the first thought that came to her mind, but she also knew how difficult that would be. Song Qingshu would undoubtedly use this as leverage to keep her under his control for a long time. But could she really continue deceiving Brother Jing just to cover this up?
