Su Wanning yelped in pain. This man was fierce—he first bit her lips hard, then pressed in, his actions full of intensity and a strange kind of anger.
When they finally separated, Su Wanning’s face twisted in pain. She touched her lips and saw blood.
Her cheeks flushed red, and she glared at Song Qinian viciously.
“Are you out of your mind?”
Song Qinian straightened up. “Don’t bring up abortion! Give me some time, I’ll handle everything.”
Su Wanning pressed her lips together. She hadn’t even spoken yet, but the intensity in his expression caught her gaze.
“You’re carrying my child. I won’t allow you to do this! Besides, abortion will harm your body. Or… do you dislike me so much that you’d rather marry my cousin, that fool, than me?”
“I don’t.”
Su Wanning had learned her lesson. The abortion tactic wouldn’t work.
Since Song Qinian insisted, she might as well wait a little longer.
“Be good.”
Seeing Su Wanning give up the idea, Song Qinian finally started the car, heading toward a state-run restaurant.
Su Wanning still wanted to ask about Li Shengmei. She hesitated for a long time but eventually swallowed her words.
If Song Qinian said he would handle it, then whatever Li Shengmei or Wang Shengmei had to say was none of her business.
At the restaurant, they entered one after the other.
Song Qinian glanced at the day’s menu and asked, “What do you want to eat? Order whatever you like.”
Su Wanning didn’t hold back. She hadn’t eaten her fill in a long time. The Qin family had been stingy, even hiding plain steamed buns from her.
Now someone was treating her. She immediately ordered two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a bowl of spare rib soup.
After ordering, she instinctively watched Song Qinian’s reaction.
Normally, a man might have been shocked seeing her order so much—it wasn’t cheap.
But Song Qinian didn’t even frown.
“Eat more. You’re too thin. Don’t give me a monkey when the baby comes.”
When the dishes arrived, Song Qinian, with a look of disdain, helped Su Wanning serve herself.
Su Wanning didn’t waste words—she focused on eating.
For the first time, the meat tasted so delicious. She felt truly satisfied.
Just then, a female voice rang out from above, full of surprise.
“Qinian? Why are you here? When did you come back?”
Li Shengmei spoke, then glanced at the ravenously eating Su Wanning, frowning in disdain.
“And who is this?”
Su Wanning swallowed her bite and looked up. She saw a girl with thick brows and big eyes, staring at her with a hostile glare.
Seeing it was Li Shengmei, Song Qinian wanted to seize this opportunity to settle the matter.
“Shengmei, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Su Wanning, my fiancée.”
Song Qinian’s face was thick-skinned. Whether Su Wanning agreed or not, he declared her his fiancée.
Li Shengmei’s face instantly drained of color.
She had known Qinian was returning and had planned to visit him.
She hadn’t expected some woman to jump in mid-way!
Qinian hadn’t even had a girlfriend, and now there’s a fiancée?
But this woman was undeniably beautiful. Li Shengmei didn’t know her background.
Li Shengmei, calmer than Song Sisi, decided to probe first.
“Hello, Sister Wanning. We came to eat as well—can we join you?”
Su Wanning remained silent. The meal was hosted by Song Qinian, and she had no say.
Song Qinian immediately refused without hesitation: “Not convenient. We need to discuss marriage matters. You can eat by yourselves.”
Li Shengmei hovered awkwardly, stuck between sitting and standing, completely embarrassed.
Since Song Qinian refused, Su Wanning ignored her, focusing on her meal.
Seeing Su Wanning eat like a starving ghost, Li Shengmei’s heart filled with disgust. She never imagined she could lose to a woman like this.
What’s the point of being flashy-looking? This girl wasn’t presentable—her provocative clothing and exposed chest were ridiculous.
After introducing Su Wanning, Song Qinian ignored Li Shengmei completely. Li Shengmei, realizing she couldn’t embarrass herself further, reluctantly sat at a nearby table.
Su Wanning finally understood.
Li Shengmei obviously liked Song Qinian, but he was a stubborn, wooden man, likely clueless or uninterested.
To be honest, the girl was decent-looking, though flat-chested, and low enough to see her shoes.
Having devoured a large bowl of meat, Su Wanning now felt energized enough to speak.
“So what’s your plan? Your parents probably won’t approve, and the marriage report might not pass inspection. What then?”
Her suggestion was actually beneficial to Song Qinian, but he stubbornly insisted she keep the child and register the marriage.
“Don’t worry about that. I have a plan.”
Su Wanning didn’t argue further.
Meanwhile, the Song household was in uproar.
Song Jianjun and Liu Meiling had summoned the elders. The grandmother nearly fainted upon hearing that her grandson had brought home such a woman.
“This is outrageous! How can Qinian marry a capitalist heiress? For him to snatch his cousin’s bride… this girl must be scheming. She cannot enter our house. I know my grandson—he wouldn’t touch another woman without marriage. Surely, she seduced him. And who knows whose child is in her womb!”
Though the grandfather didn’t speak, he smoked heavily in frustration.
All signs pointed to Su Wanning being a bad woman. Otherwise, how could she have come between him? Qin Zhiyuan should have married her long ago.
“Let’s wait here. We must persuade him properly.”
When Su Wanning and Song Qinian returned from eating, Li Shengmei had already rushed to the Song family home with her parents.
A few days earlier, both families had discussed arranging a marriage for the two young people.
Even if they had to drag Song Qinian by force, they intended to get the marriage certificate.
But now this drama had erupted. How could they handle their precious daughter?
When Su Wanning returned with Song Qinian, the living room was packed with people, all ready to interrogate.
Immediately, she felt her heart sink.
Song Qinian remained silent, taking Su Wanning to his room and shutting the door, preparing to face the crowd alone.
The grandmother, trembling, stood up. “Qinian, we can’t accept a girl like this. Grandma will find you someone better. Shengmei is perfect for you. Don’t be tricked.”
The grandfather spoke sternly: “You’ve always been headstrong, but you can’t ignore family matters. Our family is honorable. Marrying a capitalist heiress could affect your father’s work and bring trouble to everyone. You can’t be so reckless.”
Song Qinian stood tall, his words making everyone’s hearts tremble:
“If you don’t let me marry her, then I, Song Qinian, will remain a bachelor for life!”
