Chapter 516: Chapter 514: Zhaozhao is the Best Behaved, Right?
"Can we meet a bit later today? Work’s a bit busy."
"If Brother Jiaye needs it, I can take leave right now and rush to the hospital."
Hao Li looked at the message Hao Jiayi had sent. Her brows, previously furrowed, relaxed considerably. It seemed this girl knew her place.
She thought for a moment before typing out a message.
"You don’t need to rush, you can come later. Jiaye said to be cautious and keep the relationship between you two under wraps."
Hao Jiayi immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the message.
It seemed Jiaye wasn’t summoning her to take her back but to continue using her. As long as Jiaye planned to use her, she still had a chance.
Hao Jiayi quickly replied.
"You tell Brother Jiaye he can rest assured, I definitely won’t let him down."
After receiving the message, Hao Li, finally satisfied, took her phone and went back to the hospital ward...
As night fell, darkness gradually enveloped the sky.
When Song Sinian returned, Lu Zhaozhao was sitting on the bedroom bed watching TV.
"Honey, you’re back?"
Upon seeing Song Sinian enter, Lu Zhaozhao immediately climbed off the bed and leapt into Song Sinian’s arms with a flying jump.
Song Sinian instinctively stretched out his arms to catch Lu Zhaozhao, looking at her with a mix of helplessness and indulgence, "You, you’re not even afraid of falling."
Lu Zhaozhao grinned at Song Sinian, lowered her head, and kissed his lips, "Of course, I trust Mr. Song’s capabilities."
Song Sinian found his affectionate persona irresistible, his intended words getting stuck in his throat.
He could only bow his head to find her lips, aiming to properly admonish his disobedient little wife from another angle.
Under the dim yellow light, the person in his arms was petite and soft, stirring wild thoughts within him.
"Have you been good at home today? Hmm?" His deep voice carried a hint of seduction.
Actually, Song Sinian could have asked the other servants at home what Lu Zhaozhao had been up to, but he preferred hearing it straight from her lips.
Lu Zhaozhao, a bit dazed from his kisses, followed his question with a response, "Mmm, I was good today."
Song Sinian, looking at her demeanor, couldn’t help but kiss her on the tip of her nose, "So, what did you do today?"
He wanted to know everything about her; he was willing to listen as long as she was willing to speak.
Thinking this, Song Sinian’s nose gently nudged her delicate neck.
Lu Zhaozhao involuntarily shrank her neck, answering his questions obediently, "Today Hao Li caused a scene at the Song Mansion. Apparently, Xiao Mo crippled Feng Jiayue. Grandpa was so bothered by her that I helped out a bit."
Song Sinian’s form stiffened at once, his brow furrowing slightly as his gaze fell on her petite face, "What exactly did you do?"
With Xiao Mo’s mother nearing death, there was no telling what despicable tactics he might resort to. As for Feng Jiayue, if he really was crippled, he might be close to madness.
Both parties represented great instability, and Song Sinian was deeply worried that Lu Zhaozhao might get caught up in their affairs.
He couldn’t bear the thought of Lu Zhaozhao getting hurt under his watch, just as Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t stand him getting hurt.
Lu Zhaozhao slowly came to her senses and, seeing Song Sinian’s furrowed brows, suddenly felt a bit guilty. She had intended to keep it from Song Sinian, not expecting him to be so perceptive and immediately start probing.
"Just... emmm..."
She didn’t know how to start speaking to Song Sinian. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
At that moment of hesitation, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her neck.
"Hiss..."
Lu Zhaozhao almost immediately gasped in shock.
Song Sinian bit her?
Her face immediately turned into a look of grievance as she looked at Song Sinian.
Ever since they had confessed their feelings for each other, Song Sinian had stopped biting her, yet now he dared to bite her again!
Hmph, love truly fades.
Song Sinian seemed to notice Lu Zhaozhao’s thoughts, his tongue gently brushing over the area he had bitten, a moist and soft touch, making her shudder involuntarily.
"Zhaozhao is the best behaved, right? You’re going to tell me exactly what happened, aren’t you?"
Song Sinian spoke softly, yet his voice carried a barely concealed hint of danger.
It was as if she’d end up unable to get out of bed tomorrow if she didn’t honestly share the details with Song Sinian.
Lu Zhaozhao knew Song Sinian was capable of doing just that.
Thinking about this made Lu Zhaozhao a bit scared; she subconsciously shrunk back, but the next second, her lower back was firmly gripped by a large hand, leaving her with no escape.
"Zhaozhao, don’t you want to properly talk to me?" Song Sinian’s deep voice instantly resonated above her head.
Lu Zhaozhao nervously swallowed, she tentatively looked up at Song Sinian, and as if resolving herself, she slowly began, "Hao Li wanted grandfather to help Feng Jiaye get ahead, so I told her without evidence of harm, no charges can be made. Even taking it to the elders wouldn’t work."
Song Sinian’s eyebrows slightly lifted, "Besides that, what else did you tell her?"
Hearing his words, Lu Zhaozhao slightly annoyed rested her head against his chest, "Mr. Song, must you be so astute? You really make it hard for me to hide anything..."
Song Sinian leaned down and kissed Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes, "Then don’t hide anything from me."
"Alright," Lu Zhaozhao simply gave up, "Hao Li also wanted grandfather to arrange a job for him."
This did not surprise Song Sinian at all, considering the Feng family had come to Shangjing specifically for the Song Group.
Considering his current predicament, it was normal for him to seek Old Master Song’s pity in the hopes of entering the Song Group.
Song Sinian’s eyelids drooped slightly, "So, you agreed?"
Lu Zhaozhao nodded gently then felt even guiltier.
"It seems you didn’t just agree, you probably said something like... he can choose any job he wants, right?" Song Sinian’s hand gently caressed the back of her neck, clearly feeling Lu Zhaozhao tense up more.
He had guessed right again.
His little wife was indeed smart, knowing what the other side wanted and how to sweeten the deal appropriately.
However, she still didn’t grasp the treacherous nature of people’s hearts.
Song Sinian knew Lu Zhaozhao was doing this to enable Feng Jiaye to retaliate against Xiao Mo, to elevate Feng Jiaye to the same level as Xiao Mo through his ambition—even without offering Feng Jiaye any specific job, he would still keep close watch over Xiao Mo.
Eventually, whatever Xiao Mo did, he would be hamstrung, ultimately becoming fully consumed by Feng Jiaye, leading both men towards mutual destruction.
