Looking at the furious Ren Yingying, Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. "Young Miss Ren, it seems that you still don't understand the situation. It doesn't matter whether you agree to this marriage or not. Do you think I'm doing this to marry you? I'm marrying someone from the Sun Moon Sect, while your father is getting a powerful ally like the Golden Snake Battalion. So no matter what you think, this marriage is inevitable. "
Ren Yingying understood this, but she couldn't accept that such a huge change had happened in such a short period of time. She couldn't accept that her father was so cold-blooded.
Noticing that she was in a daze, Song Qingshu coughed and said, "It's getting late. Take me back to my room to rest." Although he said that, he was clear that it was absolutely impossible for Ren Yingying to bring him back to her own room. So in for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound, in for a pound. He carried her horizontally and walked towards the courtyard she lived in. After all, Song QingShu had been to her room more than once.
"What are you doing? Put me down!" Ren Yingying finally panicked. She punched and kicked in an attempt to break free. Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two was too great. Ren Yingying's delicate fists hit Song Qingshu's chest like tickles.
"Do you really not know what I'm doing?" With Song Qingshu's lightness skill, it only took a few breaths of time for him to carry Ren Yingying back to her room.
"You're shameless, perverted!" Ren Yingying's face turned red.
"I want to send Young Miss back.
What are you thinking about? " Song Qingshu gently placed Ren Yingying back on the bed. He took a few steps back and maintained a distance. He looked at her in surprise.
"You!" Ren Yingying knew that he was teasing her, but she couldn't do anything about it.
"Alright, alright. Don't look like the sky has fallen." Song Qingshu cleared his throat and continued, "The alliance between the Golden Snake Camp and the Sun Moon Church is a foregone conclusion. Therefore, I advise you to dispel the idea of rejecting this marriage as soon as possible …"
Seeing that Ren Yingying was frowning, Song Qingshu changed the topic. "However, your father and I need you and me to be husband and wife in name. Being husband and wife isn't that important."
Ren Yingying's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
Song QingShu spread his hands and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Maybe I'm a shameless bastard in your heart, but I'm actually a good person who can't get along well with others. Breaking you and Linghu Chong apart like this is indeed a bit unkind. In order to make up for my apology to you, I can make a sacrifice. In the future, as long as you are my wife in front of others, as for what you do in private and who you are with, as long as you don't let outsiders know and lose my face, I won't interfere. How about it? "
Ren Yingying's eyes lit up. At this moment, it was as if a ray of light had appeared in the endless darkness. She couldn't help but stand up. "Are you serious?"
"A gentleman keeps his word." Song Qingshu looked at her with a smile.
"Won't you … be at a disadvantage?" Ren Yingying bit her lip and looked at him apologetically. No man in this world could tolerate such a marriage. She was moved by Song Qingshu's proposal, but at the same time, an indescribable emotion arose in her heart.
A helpless smile appeared on Song Qingshu's face. "Who asked me to be a good person? How about it? Will you agree to this marriage now?"
Ren Yingying's expression was uncertain. It was obvious that various thoughts were fiercely fighting in her mind. After a long time, she finally nodded. "Alright, I agree to this marriage. But if you go back on your word, I'd rather kill myself to destroy the alliance between the Sun Moon Sect and the Golden Serpent Battalion."
This was the only way. Although Ren Yingying didn't even want to pretend to be a husband and wife with Song Qingshu, she understood that the Sun Moon Sect was in grave danger. There were strong enemies outside and the Ming Dynasty had bribed and infiltrated them internally. Because of this, her father's hair had turned white. She finally had a chance to break out of this situation. She couldn't destroy the hope of her father and the entire sect for her own selfishness.
"Don't worry, Yingying. I don't have any other strong points. My biggest strength is that I keep my promises." Song Qingshu solemnly vowed.
"Don't call me that!" Ren Yingying was a little annoyed. Apart from her father, only Brother Chong had called her that.
Song Qingshu frowned. "Yingying, this is your fault. We have to pretend to be a couple in front of others. I can't keep calling you Miss Ren."
Ren Yingying thought that he was right. She had no choice but to nod gloomily. "Then … Alright. But you can only call me that in front of outsiders. You can't call me that in private."
"How can I do that?" Song Qingshu's eyes widened. "If we divide it up like this, what if we get hot-headed and call each other the wrong way? Won't we reveal our flaws? It doesn't matter to me. But if your father finds out, he'll definitely order the Linghu brothers to be killed for the sake of both parties. "
"Forget … forget it. Just call me that." Ren Yingying thought to herself, 'It's just a title anyway. At worst, I'll ask Brother Chong to call me another way in the future.'
Song Qingshu stared at her with a faint smile. "Yingying, are you forgetting something?"
"Forgetting what?" Ren Yingying was stunned. She looked very confused.
"You forgot to call me." The smile on Song Qingshu's face became wider.
Ren Yingying blushed. She thought that this bastard had made such a big concession. She shouldn't be too insistent. She could only vaguely snort. "Song … Brother Song."
Unexpectedly, Song Qingshu didn't look happy at all. Instead, he shook his head in dissatisfaction. "No, no, this title is too distant. How can a husband and wife call each other like this?"
"Then what should I call you?" Ren Yingying's heart skipped a beat. She was inexplicably afraid.
"Darling, baby … You definitely can't call me that." Song Qingshu said while shaking his head. "Then I'll suffer a loss. You can call me 'Song Lang' from now on."
Ren Yingying suddenly became furious. "You're delusional!"
Song Qingshu's face darkened. "Miss Ren, in order to satisfy your pursuit of love, I've made such a big sacrifice. You're not even willing to change the way you call me? When the time comes, how can others not be suspicious when they see you calling me so distant? If someone with ulterior motives finds out the truth, what will happen to our two families' faces? If that's the case, everything I said before is invalid. We'll be a real couple. At worst, I'll just keep you in the cage like a canary. "
"No!" Ren Yingying's face turned pale. Only then did she realize that in this situation, she actually did not have any bargaining power. Song QingShu's willingness to make such a concession was already a blessing in disguise. She could not act on impulse and cause herself to lose those conditions. She could only say in grievance, "I'll … I'll just shout."
Song Qingshu snorted expressionlessly. "I'm listening."
"Song … Lang." Ren Yingying stammered.
"I can't hear you clearly. Say it again." Song Qingshu said in a deep voice.
Ren Yingying couldn't help but be furious, but in the end, she didn't flare up. She slightly raised her voice. "Song … Song Qingshu."
"The voice is empty and lacks emotion. It doesn't show our love." Song Qingshu was still not satisfied.
Ren Yingying almost fainted from anger. She thought that it would be strange if they were in love. But she also knew that if she couldn't satisfy this bastard, she would probably have to shout a few more times.
Every time he shouted, she would get goosebumps all over her body. Rather than suffering more, it was better to end this quickly. Ren Yingying took a deep breath and gathered her emotions. After a long time, she sweetly called out, "Song Lang ~" At the same time, she cursed Song QingShu half to death in her heart.
"That's good." Song Qingshu looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that he would feel as if an electric current flowed through his body because of her tender voice. It was really a surprise. It seemed that women were born actors. The more beautiful a woman was, the more deceptive she was.
Ren Yingying also blushed. She turned her head and didn't dare to look at his eyes. "Are you satisfied now? I'm sleepy. I'll sleep first. You find a place to solve it. " She casually pulled a quilt and threw it to Song Qingshu. She lay on the bed with her head facing the inside and her whole body wrapped tightly in the quilt.
Looking at the quilt in his arms, Song Qingshu suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ren Yingying's meaning was very clear. She slept on the bed and he slept on the floor.
However, Song Qingshu wasn't the kind of person who would suffer in silence. He threw the quilt aside, took off his coat, and got into Ren Yingying's quilt.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Ren Yingying was shocked and angry. She suddenly sat up.
"I'm sleeping," Song Qingshu said innocently.
"Who allowed you to sleep with me?" Ren Yingying said angrily.
"Your father?" Song Qingshu replied with a smile. "We are husband and wife."
Ren Yingying's face darkened. "You just promised that we are fake husband and wife. Are you going back on your words so soon?"
"I did say that we are fake husband and wife, but I didn't say that we can't sleep on the same bed." Song Qingshu replied confidently.
"You!" Ren Yingying was shocked. What does he mean? Does he mean that I don't care if I contact Brother Chong privately or not, but I still want to be his wife and fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a wife to serve him … But how can I do that? How can I still have the face to look for Brother Chong!
Seeing Ren Yingying's face turn green and white, Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh. "What are you thinking? I'm just sleeping with you. I won't do anything else."
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Ren Yingying bit her lower lip. Her cheeks were red. A man and a woman sleeping on the same bed. It would be strange if he didn't do anything else.
Song QingShu's expression turned solemn as he sternly said, "Miss Ren, think about it. With my martial arts, if I wanted to obtain your body now, it would be as easy as moving my fingers. Why would I go through so much trouble and waste so much effort to deceive you?"
Ren Yingying couldn't help but be stunned. She knew that he wasn't lying. But even if he didn't do anything and slept on the same bed with him, she still couldn't accept it. "Since you want to sleep on the bed, then sleep. I'll sleep on the floor."
