Chapter 31: The Shameless Are Invincible

Looking at Wei Lenan, the only thing that Su Qingsang felt was that this guy was crazy.

“Wei Lenan,” she said, very upset by his presence at this event. “Let go of me.”

“I will not.” Wei Lenan shook his head and became increasingly persistent, “I know that you are doing this to anger me and I admit that I was in the wrong before. Now that we have each been wrong once, let’s call it even, okay?”

Call it even? Su Qingsang almost burst out laughing because she was so angry. It must be the first time the term “call it even” had been used in a scenario like this one.

Before she could draw her hand back, Wei Lenan grasped it even tighter. “I have told your dad, so he knows. Qingsang, let bygones be bygones. I will forget about it if you do too. Let’s start over, okay?”

“No.” Su Qingsang tried hard to pull her hand away and looked at Wei Lenan like he was crazy. “Why should I forget about it? Don’t you know what you have done? Who would want to start over with you?”

The Su family was watching this scene intently, but nobody said anything.

Sitting next to Su Peizhen, Qiu Yanbo looked at Su Peizhen and then at Su Qingsang.

He did not say a word. It was hard to tell what he was thinking about from his expression. He tapped his fingers against his knee sporadically.

Huo Jinyao, who stood behind Su Qingsang, went from seeming relaxed to seeming more serious. He had heard the words “fake marriage” uttered by Wei Lenan, and he didn’t care about anything else that had been said.

Fake marriage? Who said that our marriage was fake? Huo Jinyao thought.

With one look at Su Peizhen, Huo Jinyao could see that she was obviously enjoying the drama. In an instant, his expression became even colder.

Noticing this change in Huo Jinyao’s expression, Wei Lenan believed even more in what he had said.

Everything will be fine as long as Su Qingsang forgives me, Wei Lenan thought. He said, “Qingsang, I said that what happened before was all my fault. You don’t have to be so stubborn.”

Stubborn? I’m being stubborn? Su Qingsang nearly laughed out of anger again. “Li Rongrong is pregnant with your child. How are you going to deal with that baby?”

The expression on Wei Lenan’s face changed in an instant. He became less confident, but it lasted just for one second. Very quickly, he calmed himself down again.

“Qingsang, I have asked her to get an abortion. Qingsang, as I said before, let bygones be bygones. Besides, you pretended to get married to him just to annoy me, didn’t you? So let’s call it even, what do you say–”

“Who said that we faked our marriage?” Huo Jinyao said. He chuckled, a warm expression on his face. He stretched out his arm to wrap around Su Qingsang and stared at Wei Lenan.

“Yesterday, we got our marriage license. Our marriage is authentic.

…

All of a sudden, the living room fell completely silent. Everyone turned to Huo Jinyao, wondering whether what he said was true.

Su Qingsang, who was in Huo Jinyao’s arms was really not accustomed to this intimate contact with him.

Now, however, they had to act in front of these people. Though she was not accustomed to this, she did nothing but compliantly snuggle up to Huo’s chest.

His chest was broad and strong. Su Qingsang could almost feel his heart beat through his thin layer of clothing.

Perceiving the stiffness of her body, Huo Jinyao held her even more tightly and placed his hand on her shoulder.

“You, you are a liar.” Wei Lenan said. He could not accept this reality. “How could Qingsang marry you? That’s absolutely impossible.”
