Chapter 109: Speak Against One’s Conscience
Translator: _Min_
When they were newly weds, Gu Dai timidly approached him, asking if they could switch their household items to couple-themed ones.
Song Ling remembered how icily he had responded to Gu Dai back then, “I married you because my grandpa forced me to. Don’t even think about making me change my established lifestyle to suit you!”
At that moment, Gu Dai stood frozen, holding the couple-themed mugs she had prepared, her eyes tinged with red.
Seeing her on the verge of tears only annoyed him more. Snatching the mugs from her hands, he smashed them onto the ground with all his strength, stormed out, and slammed the door behind him, leaving only chaos in his wake.
Jiang Yue chuckled as she noticed Song Ling’s distant gaze. She shook his arm shyly, “Brother Song Ling, can we please?”
In that moment, looking at Jiang Yue, he felt as if he were seeing the Gu Dai of the past. His vision blurred slightly, and he found himself saying, “Alright.”
Jiang Yue let out a cheer and led Song Ling into a store specializing in couple-themed furniture and household items.
Jiang Yue was surprised by the sheer variety of designs and found herself hesitating. She whispered to Song Ling, “Brother Song Ling, I’m overwhelmed.
1 like all of them, 1 don’t know which one to pick.”
Softly, Song Ling replied, “Buy everything you like.”
Jiang Yue’s cheeks flushed. She tiptoed and planted a quick kiss on Song Ling’s cheek before scampering away.
With Song Ling’s support, Jiang Yue no longer feigned hesitation and instructed the sales staff to wrap up all the items she found appealing.
The sales staff were stunned by such a generous customer, especially since their products weren’t cheap. They knew that the more a customer bought, the more commission they would earn.
To them, Jiang Yue was a shimmering symbol of wealth.
Not being stingy with their praise, one of the sales staff excitedly asked Jiang Yue, “Is that handsome man your husband?”
Hearing this, a sense of crisis engulfed Jiang Yue. Her face hardened, and her voice filled with hostility, “We’re getting married soon. If you’re eyeing him, you’d better drop that idea or you’ll have me to answer to.”
The sales staff quickly waved her hands in denial, “No, no, no, 1 meant you two look so well-matched, both talented and good-looking. I’m sure you’ll have a happy, long-lasting marriage!”
Jiang Yue’s stern face broke into a smile. She glanced at Song Ling and murmured bashfully, “Thank you, we will.”
After witnessing Jiang Yue’s darker side, the sales staff carefully pondered their words before daring to compliment her again.
Their enthusiasm waned, particularly when they had to praise Jiang Yue without sincerity. After all, while Jiang Yue was decently attractive, Song Ling was extraordinarily handsome.
They couldn’t fathom why a man like him would be enamored with a woman who was so two-faced.
In an unnoticed corner, a group of people were surreptitiously taking photos. After Jiang Yue and Song Ling finished shopping, a message was sent.
Jiang Yue’s phone buzzed.
Paparazzi: Miss Jiang, we’ve taken the photos of you and Mr. Song shopping, just as you requested.
Jiang Yue quickly glanced at her phone when Song Ling wasn’t looking.
Jiang Yue: I’ll transfer the balance to you later. Also, don’t forget to have some people bump the post. It must reach the top trending spot!
Paparazzo: Rest assured, just wait and see the results.
True to their word, the post reached the top trending spot within ten minutes, attracting the attention of millions.
“What? They went to a couple-themed store? That store only allows married or soon-to-be-married couples! Does this mean they’re getting married?”
“Time flies. It feels like just yesterday they announced their relationship.”
“Congratulations to A4r. Song and Miss Jiang! One is the President of Song Corporation, and the other is a world-famous dancer. They’re a perfect match!”
Meanwhile, the online news had also reached the old mansion of the Song family..
