Chapter 714: A Solution
“No way!” Song Qingshu refused outright. “I want you to be my lover for a lifetime, not just for a few days.”
“That’s absolutely impossible!” Huang Rong’s stance was firm. “If that’s the case, I’ll come clean with Brother Jing. I believe he won’t blame me. Even if you kill us, we’ll still be a pair of devoted lovers in life and death.”
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Song Qingshu sighed. “Fine, then let’s set a limit—ten years. After ten years, I should be able to openly seek you out, and we won’t have to sneak around anymore.”
“One year!” Huang Rong lifted her chin, stubbornly staring at him.
Song Qingshu frowned. “Three years!”
Seeing that she was about to object again, Song Qingshu coldly said, “This is my bottom line. You should know, I don’t have to agree to any of your conditions at all.”
Huang Rong’s face alternated between pale and flushed, clearly struggling internally. Sensing the moment, Song Qingshu added, “Rong’er, you’re overthinking things. I’m constantly occupied with affairs, traveling between different nations. In a year, I might only have one or two chances to visit you. Do you really find that frequency so unbearable?”
Huang Rong knew he wasn’t lying. If he were an ordinary man, having a beauty like her as his l0ver would make him want to cling to her day and night. But Song Qingshu was different from most men—he was ambitious and would never willingly indulge in a life of pleasure. Moreover, he already had so many fairy-like lovers by his side. The time he could spare for her would be even less.
“Fine, three years it is. But you must promise me that when you come to see me, you won’t interfere with my normal life. And whether I accompany you or not will depend on my mood.” Huang Rong huffed, her face once again showing the mischievous glint of her younger years.
