Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Ting hadn’t formed much of an opinion about Gu Chen previously. The aristocratic families in the capital and the wealthy families in A City only had business dealings at most; their interactions were limited.
He had heard of Gu Chen’s reputation as the head of the Gu Family but didn’t pay it much heed. After all, he had only met him a few times.
However, not long ago, he and Song Fan were embroiled in some rumors. Song Fan had clarified that the rumors weren’t true, but Gu Chen had never stepped up to address the situation. Regardless of how absurd the rumors were, people still inquired about potential celebrations at their homes.
He was genuinely concerned that these rumors might negatively impact Song Fan. While such things might be a mere romantic affair for men, for women, they could become lifetime scandals.
Consequently, he found Gu Chen to be an annoyance in every sense, especially considering that Song Fan was currently staying at his place. It was something he couldn’t overlook.
Upon recognizing a few of the men in the room, he knew they were all young masters from the capital. He held Song Fan tightly and diplomatically said, “Mr. Gu, my little sister is young and inexperienced. If something like this happens again, please give me a call. There’s no need to keep her here for recovery. After all, it wouldn’t be good if these rumors spread. I understand that Mr. Gu is a busy man, and we will bring Song Fan back home.”
Though Song Ting’s words seemed polite, they carried an underlying tone of mockery, implying that Song Fan was still a youth unable to handle such situations, while suggesting that Gu Chen, as an adult, should know better.
Qi Shuo’s heart raced, fearing that Gu Chen might lose his temper. This was
Miss Song’s brother, and he couldn’t afford to offend him.
However, his concerns were unwarranted. Gu Chen had mellowed recently due to relying on Song Fan’s medical skills to stay healthy. His tone was quite gentle as he replied, “I didn’t think it through. This won’t happen again in the future.’
Song Ting had no choice but to let the matter drop. He couldn’t afford to get into a conflict with the head of the Gu Family.
He hugged Song Fan and instructed Song Kai, “Let’s go home quickly.”
Song Kai, who was called out, didn’t even care about his luggage. He turned to Su Yang and said, “I’ll come back another day to pick up my things. Please keep them safe for me.
With that, he rushed out, worried that his brother might leave him there alone if he didn’t move fast enough.
After they left, Gu Chen returned upstairs. Xu Yuan, exhausted, slumped onto the sofa and said, “I was scared to death. I thought they were going to fight.”
Qi Shuo comforted him, “We’re all young masters from prominent families. We understand the importance of maintaining our dignity. We wouldn’t engage in physical fights.”
Xiao Lei shook his head and said, “That’s not always true. Didn’t you see the look in Young Master Song’s eyes just now? It was as if he wanted to kill Gu
Chen.”
“It was understandable. If my sister lived with another man, I wouldn’t tolerate it either.” Xia Rui nodded.
At this point, everyone felt guilty. They had only thought about Song Fan staying without considering the potential consequences. However, Song Fan’s martial prowess was astonishing, and in their eyes, someone capable of dismantling a mercenary group was like a war deity. They hadn’t anticipated that she could get injured.
Song Ting gently placed Song Fan in the car and instructed the driver to drive smoothly to avoid any bumps. Then the car fell into silence.
Song Fan didn’t know what to say, Song Kai didn’t dare to say anything, and Song Ting seemed to exude a cold aura.
He hadn’t expected Song Fan to be living with a group of men. Even though Song Kai was there, it didn’t sound good if rumors started circulating.
In the past, he would have scolded Song Fan harshly, ensuring she never repeated such behavior. But now, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
He was the one who had left Song Fan alone in the countryside. Now, he had no right to criticize her for not knowing proper etiquette when no one had taught her.
Song Ting could only brood in the car until Song Fan pointed out the window and said, “Turn around here. I want to go home.”
“Don’t listen to her. Drive straight back to the residence,” Song Ting instructed the driver.
Song Fan looked at him in confusion and asked, “You never mentioned wanting me to go back before. Why are you suddenly bringing this up now?”
Song Ting was caught off guard by her question. He couldn’t exactly tell Song
Fan that it was because he had discovered the truth about the past. Instead, he sighed and replied, “You’re injured now and need someone to take care of you.
Going back home is the best choice.”
Song Fan didn’t quite agree with this perspective. She considered her injury to be minor and believed that Song Ting, being a doctor, should understand that. She wondered if something had happened at home that required her immediate return.
Song Ting still didn’t understand what was going through Song Fan’s mind. Otherwise, he would have been incensed.
