After she finished speaking, Shen Xingkong could clearly feel the atmosphere change instantly.
It was as if the whole world had become quiet.
Only the sound of her own heart pounding wildly in her chest remained.
Her voice trembled as she said, "Because I love him, I want to marry him."
"Heh."
Without hesitation, Huo Siye turned and left.
"Fourth Brother!" Huo Qingyan hurriedly chased after him.
After running a few steps, she stopped and turned back to look at Shen XingKong, uncertainly asking, "Xingxing, do you really like Song Shao?"
"Yes, I fell in love with Song Shao at first sight. I won't marry anyone else but him."
Huo Qingyan stared at her for two seconds, not sure whether to believe her or not, but her expression didn't look good as she turned around and followed Huo Siye.
Shen Xingkong's heart felt sour, as if a large piece had been forcibly ripped out, causing her great pain.
Siye, wait for me to explain to you.
"Did I hurt you just now?" Song Yunfei walked over, lowered his head, and looked at Xingkong's red neck with a pair of mischievous eyes, pretending to be concerned.
Xingkong shook her head at him. "No."
"I'm sorry, I just...suddenly had a brain cramp. I promise I won't do it again." Song Yunfei sincerely apologized.
Xingkong nodded, suppressing the discomfort in her chest, and gave him a smile. "Well, I believe you didn't mean it."
Song Yunfei squinted his eyes. This Shen Xingkong was really interesting.
Love at first sight? Won't marry anyone else but him?
Who said only men's mouths were full of lies?
Women are just as good as men at telling lies.
"Ahem." Song Shicheng cleared his throat lightly. "Sit down and have some food first."
"Yes, let's eat first. After that, I'll take Xingkong out for a walk and buy some things," Mrs. Song added.
"Xingkong, you should learn to behave and not always make Song Shao unhappy," Dong Ru zhu said unhappily. She had almost ruined her plan just now!
If Xinai couldn't be saved, she would see how she would deal with her.
"When you get married, you should be filial to your parents-in-law and take good care of your husband. Don't always throw tantrums and don't embarrass the Shen family," Shen Zhizhou said with a bad expression.
"She's just a jinx. You should think twice," the old lady sneered, looking disdainful.
Since the Song family didn't give a dowry, she would ruin this marriage and find someone else who was willing to give a dowry for Xingkong.
The Shen family... they didn't even care about their face?
Just now, she had almost been strangled to death by Song Yunfei, and they didn't even say a word of comfort. Instead, they warned her to be sensible in the future?
Did the incident just now happen because she wasn't sensible?
Of course, she did it on purpose.
She knew that Song Yunfei was very sensitive about his infertility, so she deliberately said it to provoke him and make him feel uncomfortable.
"Xingkong, you're okay now, don't be afraid, come over to grandpa's side," the old man beckoned to Xingkong and asked her to sit beside him.
Xingkong suddenly felt a pang in her nose, but fortunately, she still had her grandpa.
"Grandpa, I'm not afraid. I think Yunfei didn't mean to do it just now. He must have done it because I said something wrong." Xingkong sat next to Grandpa and said after meeting his worried gaze.
"Xingxing is really sensible. If only I had such a well-behaved daughter." Mrs. Song said with a pleased expression.
Ah.
Grandpa sighed heavily.
This child is just too sensible.
Love at first sight?
There is no such thing as love at first sight in this world. This child is probably hiding some kind of hardship.
During the banquet, Dong Ru zhu and Mrs. Song happily discussed the details of the wedding, as if nothing had happened.
And Shen Zhizhou hinted at the cooperation between the two families in his words and deeds, but no matter how he hinted, Song Shicheng seemed to have not understood, and he didn't respond to him.
Song Yunfei occasionally glanced at Xingkong, and every time he did, he could meet her secretly looking at him.
He smiled and had a shy look. Is it really love at first sight?
This Shen Xingkong is becoming more and more interesting, no wonder Huo Qingyan has to go to great lengths to send her to his hands.
Tsk, how big is this grudge?
...
"I'm sorry, Miss Shen, Fourth Master is busy and has no time to see you."
"Bai Ning!"
After returning home, Xingkong immediately called Huo Siye, but no one answered.
She also sent messages and videos, but all of them were ignored.
Xingkong knew that he must be angry because of what happened during the day, so she had to explain to him.
Unable to contact Huo Siye, she had to contact Bai Ning instead.
But Bai Ning also had a cold and distant attitude towards her.
"Miss Shen, since you are getting married, focus on preparing for your wedding. Being indecisive is not a good thing. After all, you are a wealthy young lady, so please have some self-respect." Bai Ning was at the restaurant with Huo Siye today, and he heard everything that Xing Kong said, not only Huo Siye.
Not to mention that Siye was angry, even he was furious!
What does this Miss Shen mean!
Flirting with the Fourth Prince on one hand and falling in love at first sight with Song Shao on the other?
Hmph.
A woman who changes her mind like the wind.
Xingkong rubbed het forehead, and Bai Ning almost pointed at her forehead and cursed her for being shameless.
"Bai Ning, listen to me, I have something to explain to Siye."
Bai Ning snorted, "Miss Shen, the Fourth Prince is busy."
Then he hung up the phone fiercely.
He silently repeated to himself: Don't hit women, don't hit women, don't hit women!
When he raised his head, he met Huo Siye's obscure gaze, and his heart sank, "Fourth Prince..."
Huo Siye stared at him for two seconds, then looked at the phone in his hand, and said nothing.
But Bai Ning understood what he meant, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss Shen said she has something to explain to you. Would you like to..."
"Are you free?"
"Huh?"
"If you are free, I can assign the Australian project to you."
"Oh! No, Fourth Prince, I'm busy, just like you."
"I am the boss," Huo Siye said expressionlessly.
Bai Ning blinked, unsure of what he meant.
"If even the boss is busy, what use do you have?" Huo Siye asked coldly. His eyes were dark and intimidating. "If you act without authorization again, I will deduct all of your year-end bonuses. Now get out!"
"Yes," Bai Ning said, holding his phone and leaving the CEO's office with a heavy heart.
What was going on?
Was Huo Siye taking out his anger on him because of his fight with Miss Shen?
He was innocent and wrongly accused.
Wait a minute...
Could it be that Huo Siye wanted him to answer Miss Shen's call just now?
But he didn't answer it on purpose!
Men...
Men in love were really troublesome.
Inside the office, Huo Siye scrolled through his phone, looking at dozens of missed calls and messages on WeChat. After a while, he closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions.
But he couldn't help but think of the moment when Xingkong said he fell in love at first sight.
Love at first sight?
Ha.
Fine, let it be love at first sight.
It had nothing to do with him.
He opened WeChat and scrolled through the only conversation he had. His slender fingers moved across the screen.
Ding!
The phone vibrated and Xingkong immediately picked it up and swiped it open.
Seeing that it was a WeChat message from Huosiye, she breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was willing to listen to her explanation.
But when she saw the message from Huosiye, her face suddenly turned pale.
"The deal is over. Where is my mother?"
