?Chapter 171: 171, Making me sad is your skill. Chapter 171: 171, Making me sad is your skill. When Song Qinghuan returned to the opulent dining room, the butler was instructing the servants to spread a white embroidered tablecloth on the long dining table.
Seeing her come downstairs, the butler immediately went over and respectfully led her to a seat in the living room.
After thanking the butler, Song Qinghuan sat down alone.
She casually looked around, and when her gaze moved forward again, she saw the man she had just encountered outside the study- the Eldest Young Master Morng.
He sat across from her, a smirk playing on his lips. He crossed his long legs, resting them on the coffee table in front of him, and leaned his upright body against the sofa. Then, he lit a cigarette in his mouth.
Once again, Song Qinghuan had to admit, that man was exquisite–masked behind a wafting layer of smoke, he took on a hint of luxurious decadence.
When their eyes met, she felt her heart inexplicably constricted, as if she could hardly breathe.
A chilling smile was on his lips, “So, how much did Shi Yihan pay for you to put on this show?”
His voice, sharp as an arrow, shot right through her, just as piercing and ruthless as his gaze.
Whether it was his words or his attitude, Song Qinghuan found it unbearable. If there was someone in this world who could instantly make you loathe them upon sight, it would certainly be the Eldest Young Master Morng in front of her.
She remained silent and did not respond frivolously. She didn’t want to open a dialogue with him before understanding his intentions – he obviously harbored strong hostility towards her.
“So it seems I guessed right, woman, are you so short of money that you need to sell yourself?” He continued his derisive mockery of Song Qinghuan, his words dripping with venom.
Song Qinghuan bit her lip, then explained, “I am his wife, a newlywed bride.”
He sneered with a twisted smile, “A newlywed bride? A bride bought with money…”
Instead of getting angry, Song Qinghuan laughed, “It does seem to be the case. He was smitten with me at first sight and insisted on marrying me. I was reluctant to agree, so he offered me money. So strictly speaking, yes, I was bought.”
The man was expressionless, but his eyes narrowed darkly, “Shi Yihan is not someone who would fall for someone so easily. Love at first sight? You better shake that craziness off. Do you think Shi Yihan would fall in love just because he smiles or shows a bit of concern for you? No, he is incapable of truly loving anyone!”
“Ha, you’re hilarious. No matter how aloof Shi Yihan is, he is just a mortal. It’s completely normal for people to fall in love.” This time it was Song Qinghuan’s turn to mock him.
His eyes narrowed dangerously, a murderous smile played on his lips, “Do you know who I am, to dare to speak to me like that?”
Maintaining eye contact with him, Song Qinghuan replied, “I’m not interested in who you are. But if you badmouth my husband, I can’t just stand by as his wife.”
“Woman, can’t you see, if you dare to be rude to me again, don’t imagine your future to be a walk in the park.” The man threatened.
Not that she wasn’t afraid, but, Song Qinghuan figured, this man was less of a threat compared to Shi Yihan. He was an enemy of Shi Yihan, and if he dared to take action on her, she knew Shi Yihan would step in.
With Shi Yihan on her side, she had the courage to stand her ground: “Oh? Really? Life is hard enough as it is and I figured it’d already reached its limit. But for you to say you could make it even worse, I must commend you, you really have quite the talent!”
