The next morning, Song Qinian was woken by the ringing of her mobile phone.
The ringing stopped after a short while, followed by a man's deep, sexy voice.
"Got it. You guys go ahead, I'll be there later."
Song Qinian's head was fuzzy, but upon hearing a familiar voice right beside her, she instantly woke up.
What was going on?
Didn't she have dinner and drinks with Miao Zi'ai and Shen Yushu last night? Why could she hear Shen Chi'an's voice?
And this place...
Song Qinian secretly opened her eyes and took a look around. Her photos were all over the walls, and her favorite baby's breath was on the table.
This wasn't Xiangshanyue, it looked more like Jingyuan.
Before Song Qinian could snap out of her shock, Shen Chi'an's voice, tinged with a smile, sounded from behind her. "You're awake, aren't you? How long do you plan to pretend to be asleep?"
Song Qinian's mind was a mess. She couldn't figure out how she had ended up here, let alone in the same bed as Shen Chi'an.
Most importantly, her body ached all over, especially her waist, as if something had crushed it. This feeling...
Felt exactly like a drunken mistake.
"Still not getting up, huh? Fine, I'll help you..."
As soon as Shen Chi'an finished speaking, Song Qinian jolted upright, realizing she was only wearing a thin slip. She immediately flopped back onto the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.
"You get up first."
Shen Chi'an let out a soft snort. "What? Afraid to face it? You weren't this shy when you were throwing yourself at me last night. We did everything we were supposed to do. It's just the two of us here, who are you trying to act innocent for?"
Did everything they were supposed to do?
Song Qinian's face instantly turned ugly.
However, with things having come this far, escaping was useless. Thinking this, Song Qinian looked back at Shen Chi'an. The moment she saw him, she was so ashamed and indignant that she wished she could bury herself in a hole.
Shen Chi'an was unclothed, his chest covered in bite marks, and his arms bore scratches from fingernails. His lips were also broken, as if he were the one who had been ravaged last night.
Shen Chi'an couldn't have done these things to himself, so...
Damn it, she had no memory of what happened last night. If she had known, she shouldn't have gone drinking yesterday.
"Satisfied seeing your own handiwork?"
Song Qinian averted her gaze. "I was drunk last night. I don't know how I got here or what happened."
Shen Chi'an raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So you plan to sleep with me and then shirk responsibility? That's typical, you've done this kind of thing more than once or twice."
Hearing this, Song Qinian's mood plummeted. She gritted her teeth and said with annoyance, "You knew I was drunk, you shouldn't have brought me here or let me into your room."
"Who said I brought you here?"
Song Qinian looked at Shen Chi'an in disbelief. What did he mean by that? If he didn't bring her, did she come on her own?
"Do you need me to help you recall it in detail?"
Before Song Qinian could speak, Shen Chi'an slowly continued, "I've been living in Jingyuan for a while now. When I got back yesterday, you were sitting by the villa entrance. The moment you saw me, you pounced and hugged me. Do you think I didn't push you away? Hmph... you clung to me like a koala. When the ex-wife throws herself at you, why wouldn't you take her? Especially since you were so enthusiastic."
Song Qinian's face turned green. "This... how is that possible..."
"You're in my bed, how is it not possible?"
Song Qinian: "..."
After that, Song Qinian fled in disgrace. Shen Chi'an called out for her to stay for breakfast, but she didn't respond.
It was simply too absurd!
As soon as Song Qinian left Jingyuan, she called Miao Zi'ai. Miao Zi'ai, suffering from a severe hangover, spoke weakly, "I don't know either. When I woke up this morning, I was already at home. Yushu must have sent someone to take me back. Why don't you ask Yushu?"
Song Qinian thought about it and then called Shen Yushu.
Shen Yushu's account was similar to what Song Qinian had heard from Shen Chi'an. He said that Song Qinian had insisted on going to Jingyuan after getting drunk, and he had no choice but to take her there.
Song Qinian's mood became even more depressed.
But what had happened had happened. Lingering on it was useless. She could only pretend that nothing had occurred.
Fortunately, Shen Chi'an didn't dwell on the matter, and Song Qinian was somewhat relieved.
Afterward, Song Qinian plunged back into the filming of the program.
After the program was filmed, Gu Zhiyan went directly to the film set. Song Qinian could no longer use the excuse of filming to avoid going home. She had been thinking about what to do for days but couldn't come up with a good solution.
Just then, a staff member walked over and said to her, "Miss Song, someone is waiting for you outside."
When Song Qinian went out and saw both Shen Chi'an and Li Junsen, her expression turned grim.
Why had these two come together?
Moreover, they had clearly already clashed. Li Junsen's expression was extremely unpleasant, while Shen Chi'an looked relaxed and in control.
Then, Li Junsen walked towards Song Qinian first. "Wife, filming must have been tough. I'm here to take you home."
Before Song Qinian could respond, Shen Chi'an's mocking voice suddenly rang out. "Mr. Li, I know you want to snatch everything from me, but please don't casually call someone else's wife 'wife'."
As Shen Chi'an spoke, he walked towards Song Qinian and extended his hand to her. "My dearest wife, your loving husband is here to pick you up."
Both men extended their hands towards Song Qinian, as if waiting for her to choose.
Song Qinian didn't know why Shen Chi'an was doing this. Was it just to embarrass Li Junsen?
Li Junsen could no longer stand it and spoke up, "Shen Chi'an, Niannian is my wife now!"
"Is that so?" Shen Chi'an smirked coldly, then reached out, and Gao Kunlun placed a document bag in Shen Chi'an's hand.
Shen Chi'an opened it in front of both of them. Inside was a legal document proving the marital relationship between Song Qinian and Shen Chi'an.
"Song Qinian and I are not divorced. According to the Marriage Law of Country Z, Song Qinian is still my wife, Shen Chi'an. I don't care how much you love each other, but there is only one path before you now."
Shen Chi'an extended a finger, looking at them with a smile that wasn't a smile. "One, Song Qinian goes home with me. She is my wife, and she should live in my house. Whether to divorce or when to divorce, it's not up to you. It's up to me!"
"Two..."
Shen Chi'an extended another finger, his eyes suddenly turning cold and terrifying. "Song Qinian betrayed me and has been living with you for the past two years. I can sue her for bigamy. However, in that case, she will be ruined and might even risk going to jail."
