After a while, under Meng Chuyue’s gentle pushing, Shen Ci reluctantly let her go and took the opportunity to embrace her, whispering, "Is my background so terrible that you decided to comfort me first?"
Meng Chuyue was amused by his words, "No, no, I was just mesmerized by your good looks, so remember to always look this good. Who knows, if you turn ugly one day, I might change my heart."
Shen Ci lifted his delicate, jade-like fingers and gently pressed them on the dimples of her pretty face, then leaned forward to kiss them separately, laughing, "Got it, I’ll strictly adhere to your demands. But tell me about my background first."
Meng Chuyue nodded, her smile fading, "Aunt Wei Lan told me that I must wait until you change your impulsive nature before I reveal your family secrets to you.
You’ve been causing a lot of trouble for the Shen Family lately, and some actions were a bit over the top. These behaviors indicate that you are still very impulsive. I shouldn’t be revealing your secret now, but just now, through some incidents with my father and me, I suddenly felt that perhaps by telling you, you might act more prudently."
Shen Ci was astonished, "You knew about my dealings with the Shen Family? How did you find out?"
Was there a traitor by his side?
Worried that he might overthink, Meng Chuyue hurriedly said, "It was Erhu. Erhu isn’t an ordinary bird; it’s particularly intelligent. If you don’t believe me, I’ll let you verify it later."
In the space, Erhu protested, "No, young master, don’t."
It didn’t want to be verified by anyone.
Meng Chuyue coldly replied with her thoughts, "Protest invalid."
Alright, you’re the master, you call the shots.
While Erhu was feeling wronged, Shen Ci pulled Meng Chuyue closer and spoke softly, "No need to verify, I trust you."
Meng Chuyue smiled softly, then cleared her expression and slowly said, "Aunt told me that your biological father is Song Ting from Imperial, and she said the Song Family is even more dangerous... However, Aunt only managed to say this much..."
Shen Ci was silent for a long time before he faintly murmured, "Song Ting?"
Meng Chuyue pushed him down onto the bed, making him more comfortable, and kneeled beside him as she gently said, "I asked around, and Song Ting is the head of a renowned medical family in Imperial. However, he has only three daughters, no sons. His current wife is Su Xiufeng from the Su Family. The Su Family is one of the top families in Imperial. Apparently, Song Ting is only the nominal head of the Song Family; the real family heads are Su Xiufeng and her brother Su Zhenguo."
Meng Chuyue discovered more than this, but she only dared to tell Shen Ci so much for now, keeping back any details that might hurt his pride.
Anyway, from what she knew about Shen Ci, he would investigate these matters himself and wouldn’t rush to acknowledge his relatives.
Shen Ci was silent for a long time and then suddenly laughed, "I know some things about the Song Family, and you know what? Su Jinnian is actually Su Xiufeng’s maternal nephew. Close relatives."
It was unexpected news, but no matter.
She chuckled, "Then let’s keep our distance from Su Jinnian from now on."
This suggestion pleased Shen Ci; he pulled Meng Chuyue into his embrace and held her tight, "Yes, thank you Yueyue. Yueyue, you’ve accomplished your goal. I won’t go acknowledge the Song Family, nor will I use extreme methods against the Shen Family anymore.
Now that I’m not a Shen Family member, the current Shen Family has only Shen Wenxiu as an enemy to confront, and I can join forces with Shen Wenhao to deal with him."
With Shen Wenhao, who was originally a rival, now a collaborator, things were much simpler.
"Yes." Meng Chuyue smiled and kissed him.
Ah... his peerless handsome face, she really couldn’t resist.
Luckily, he was hers now; she could kiss him whenever she wanted.
