Chapter 1008: Chapter 230: The Good Cabbage Has Been Taken

Seeing the skepticism and scrutiny in his eyes, Ji Bingchu acted as if he didn’t believe the words he had spoken, the promises he had made, "I have never made a promise to anyone, a gentleman’s word is as heavy as nine tripods, and once spoken, not even four horses can chase it back!"

"You’re just a lecherous scoundrel! Get out!" Shen Songming snapped through clenched teeth.

Ji Bingchu shot him a look of resentful longing once again.

"Don’t let me see you again!" Shen Songming kicked him out without any courtesy.

Ji Bingchu jumped up, obediently withdrawing, but after he left the room, he curled the corner of his mouth into a smirk. Not see him again?

Outside, Dan Yefei handed over another note, seeking out Shen Songming. He didn’t believe Shen Songming could actually have done that with a man. His love for Pei Qin had seeped deep into his bones, and he could understand the rejection of Mingzhu, but this reason, he just couldn’t believe it, so he had to confirm it again.

Meanwhile, Dan Mingzhu, who had just finished crying at Pei Qin’s place, was unwilling to give up and asked again resentfully, "Is it really true about Shen Songming?" She also couldn’t believe that he would be with a man like that. She had seen Ji Bingchu frequent brothels, but she had never heard that he was gay, much less involved with Shen Songming...

"I don’t believe it either..." Pei Qin was still in disarray up to now and couldn’t help but indecently imagine the two men... two men.... She then felt it was inappropriate to be so base and quickly tried to think properly.

Hearing her words, Dan Mingzhu immediately felt certain that Shen Songming had deceived her. Even Pei Qin didn’t believe it. She stood up with a determined look, "Then I will go find him again! I, Dan Mingzhu, do not admit to defeat so easily! He must have lied to me!"

"Mingzhu..." Pei Qin hadn’t even managed to stop her before she had already disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

Pei Yuan encountered Dan Mingzhu as she was leaving, her eyes swollen with tears, and exclaimed in surprise, "Mingzhu! What happened to you?"

"I’m going to find Shen Songming!" Dan Mingzhu exclaimed as she ran off into the distance. Her two maids also hurried to keep up.

Pei Yuan came in holding Happy, confused, "Big sister! What happened to Mingzhu?"

She hadn’t come over the day before and was unaware of Shen Songming’s sudden return. After asking, she noticed the bandage around Pei Qin’s neck and rushed over in shock, "Big sister, you’re hurt?"

"It’s nothing serious, just a minor injury." Pei Qin waved it off, urging her not to make a fuss, especially with Happy there.

Pei Yuan saw that Lu Hai was present and asked her to take Happy out to find Xixi, while she stayed behind to talk with her elder sister.

Pei Qin, with a face devoid of hope, explained the whole story of why Shen Songming had come to chop things up. Her heart was filled with the feeling of a bestie being done over by a scumbag and the urge to completely eradicate that scumbag. But amidst this feeling, there was also a peculiar... interest. Shen Songming... truly pitiable!

Pei Yuan’s jaw nearly dropped, "Brother Songming... he... he..." She stuttered several times, unable to articulate her thoughts. In her mind, it was normal for a man to marry a woman, sealing a century-long union. But a man with another man... What was that? She couldn’t help but let her thoughts stray, imagining a man with a woman in certain acts, and then, Brother Songming and Young Master Ji...

"I didn’t tell you this so you could go spreading it around," Pei Qin reminded her.

This was naturally something that couldn’t be blabbed about! Not only that, but she needed to help cover it up. Pei Yuan nodded, "I understand, big sister." But thinking of Brother Songming... it was truly unimaginable.

Pei Qin sighed again. Was the fine cabbage she had tended to be rooted up by a pig?

Shen Songming sent Dan Yefei away with a sullen face and lay on the bed to rest, unable to stop thinking about that lecherous scoundrel flipping him over and over, which made him gnash his teeth in anger, and then he gnashed his teeth even more over his own wild thoughts.

Outside the door, Ji Bingchu appeared with a bruised face, carrying a food box. For two days, Shen Songming had barely eaten anything, his hunger fueled by the rage that had driven him to return without having had a proper meal.

Shuang Xi stood guard at the door with an unwelcoming face, looking at him as if hoping to bore holes into his body.

"He hasn’t eaten properly for days," said Shuang Xi, who was no match for a real opponent, barely able to stop Ji Bingchu. But because he was Shen Songming’s man, Ji Bingchu didn’t force his way past.

Shuang Xi also knew that he couldn’t withstand even a single move. After a standoff, he took the food box reluctantly, not allowing Ji Bingchu inside, "The young master said he doesn’t want to see you."

Ji Bingchu knew as well. He guessed that if he entered the room, Shen Songming would be even less likely to eat, so he turned around and left.

Shuang Xi opened the food box to find light, nourishing dishes and, anger seething, closed it without offering it to Shen Songming. Instead, he brought over nutritious dishes prepared by his wife from the kitchen and tried to persuade Shen Songming to eat.
