The moment she closed the door, Song Yunlan collapsed onto the ground.
After everything that had happened with Shen Zhiyan, if she hadn’t been holding on by sheer willpower, she would have given out long ago.
Now, she didn’t have a single ounce of strength left.
Listening as the noise outside gradually faded, the tension in her heart slowly eased.
Looking at the pendant in her palm, in this life, she had not only taken back this golden opportunity but also preserved her reputation.
At the same time, she had exposed the ugly faces of Liang Bo and Bai Ruolian, and laid bare the ambiguous relationship between the two.
Everything was different now.
This time, she would take control of her own fate.
Her life would be decided by her alone!
Just as Song Yunlan was lost in her thoughts, a faint sound came from the back window.
A shadow leapt in from outside.
“Shen Zhiyan? Why are you back again?”
Song Yunlan frowned slightly, looking at him with disapproval.
She had just driven Liang Bo and Bai Ruolian away what if someone saw Shen Zhiyan here?
That would only lead to more unnecessary trouble!
But Shen Zhiyan didn’t answer her. He strode over and lifted her up from the ground.
“Hey?! You ”
The sudden weightlessness startled Song Yunlan, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
Feeling the softness in his arms, Shen Zhiyan’s expression softened.
“Why did you come back? Didn’t I tell you to leave?” Song Yunlan asked again.
After placing her on the heated brick bed, Shen Zhiyan clenched his jaw.
“Don’t want to see me that much? Forgotten how you clung to me earlier and wouldn’t let go?!”
He glared at her fiercely, as if ready to pounce if her answer displeased him.
Song Yunlan flushed under his intense gaze and snapped, “What nonsense are you talking about? Stop acting like a hooligan!”
Shen Zhiyan gritted his teeth.
“You say I’m acting like a hooligan if I don’t do something, wouldn’t that be a loss for me?”
As he spoke, he reached out to hug her again.
Sitting on the bed, Song Yunlan quickly shifted away.
“Behave yourself! No messing around!”
Missing his chance, Shen Zhiyan felt a bit regretful, but thinking about what had just happened, his mood brightened again.
“What do you mean messing around? Hugging my own wife what’s wrong with that? That’s perfectly natural!”
Hearing this, Song Yunlan widened her eyes and glared at him.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Who’s your wife?!”
Shen Zhiyan looked at her seriously.
“What? Now that you’ve gotten dressed, you’re denying it? I’m an innocent man after what you did to me, you don’t plan to take responsibility?!”
Song Yunlan stared at him in shock. She knew he had thick skin, but not this thick.
“Innocent man? Listen to yourself! If anyone suffered a loss, it’s me! I haven’t even asked you to take responsibility how do you have the nerve to ask me?!”
Instead of getting angry, Shen Zhiyan seized the opportunity and nodded.
“If you put it that way, then I’ll take responsibility for you. I’ll go home and tell my family about us right now and arrange for a matchmaker to come propose as soon as possible!”
Song Yunlan was stunned. That wasn’t what she meant at all.
“You ”
Looking at her dumbfounded expression, Shen Zhiyan suppressed a grin.
“I knew you had your eye on me for a long time. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Since you’ve cut ties with Liang Bo, I won’t hold your past against you.
Don’t worry I’m not like that useless Liang Bo. If you’re with me, you won’t have to worry about anything. Just enjoy the good life!”
Song Yunlan was speechless.
This man’s ability to spin things his own way was truly impressive.
But marry Shen Zhiyan?
It didn’t seem impossible…
Thinking of everything this foolish man had done for her in her previous life, her emotions grew complicated.
“Shen Zhiyan, I know you’re a very responsible man, but I don’t want us to be tied together just because of responsibility.
You should be able to guess that what happened today was a setup by Liang Bo and Bai Ruolian to ruin my reputation and force me to break off the engagement. You ”
Before she could finish, Shen Zhiyan cut her off.
“I’m not marrying you just out of responsibility. Song Yunlan, you should know I’ve liked you for a long time.
But you only had eyes for Liang Bo before and ignored me completely. Luckily, you’re finally not blind anymore!
No matter what, you’re mine now. Who knows you might even be carrying my child already.
Don’t even think about distancing yourself from me. I’m going home to tell my family now. Just wait for me to come marry you!”
There was even a hint of grievance and bitterness in his voice, as if she had wronged him.
After saying that, without waiting for her reply, he jumped out the window, his ears flushed red.
Song Yunlan didn’t even have time to react she only caught a glimpse of his hurried figure disappearing.
“That fool… really…”
Leaning against the wall, she shook her head helplessly. Thinking of his words, she unconsciously touched her stomach.
“A child?”
Suddenly, something came to mind.
She remembered that in her previous life, after being caught in bed with Shen Zhiyan, her monthly cycle never came again.
Later… could it be…
At the thought, panic surged through her. Could it be that the bleeding and abdominal pain back then weren’t from internal injuries caused by traffickers, but because
Clenching her fists, her nails accidentally pierced her palm. As the pendant was stained with her blood, it suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
“What is this ”
Before she could react, she was engulfed by the light and pulled into another world.
Looking around, there were green mountains, clear waters, and peaks surrounding her. Even the air seemed sweet.
Song Yunlan blinked.
“So this is the female lead’s golden cheat… a spiritual spring space? But now, it’s mine!”
She opened her hand. The pendant that had been in her palm had disappeared, replaced by a tiny red mark the size of a sesame seed.
“Out!”
She called out in her mind.
Sure enough, the next second, she was back on the heated bed.
Such a magical treasure fascinated her, and she experimented with it over and over before finally calming down.
