Chapter 489: Chapter 489: The Ruthless Woman (9)_1

Pei Qian winced in pain from his grip and frowned, "Mo Heng has already left!" If it weren’t for him, her older sister wouldn’t have ended up like this!

Shen Songming’s expression was chilling as he released her and turned a cold gaze toward Lu Hao and Lu Hai.

Lu Hao hung his head in guilt. He had always thought Pei Qin would marry Young Master Shen, unaware that such a mistake would happen in between.

Lu Hai explained the situation to him coldly.

After listening to the entire process, Shen Songming’s face grew increasingly ugly. He entered the hall, sat down in a chair, and remained silent for a long time.

Pei Qian kept watching him, waiting for him to speak. If he would just say he isn’t willing to marry her older sister, she would immediately drive him out!

Pei Yuan felt that what Pei Qian was suggesting was simply impossible. The Shen family wouldn’t agree to her older sister marrying into their family, and now that her sister was pregnant with Mo Heng’s child, it was even less likely. After all, who could be more magnanimous than Brother Song Ming, not minding that the older sister had a past with Mo Heng? But it’s another matter entirely to not care about another man’s child! Besides, her older sister also...

Shen Songming sat for four hours, until he heard the door to Pei Qin’s room open, and Pei Yuan, who had been outside, called for her older sister before he finally got up and walked out.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Songming came out and, seeing Pei Qin who had returned to her normal state, clenched his fists and strode toward her.

Pei Qin raised her eyebrows in confusion.

With a solemn and serious demeanor, Shen Songming walked toward her and, seizing her hand, dropped to one knee, "Pei Qin! Marry me! Your brothers and sisters will be my brothers and sisters, and your child will be my child! My means may be modest, but I can still provide for you and do everything in my power to let you live the life you want freely!"

Pei Qin looked at him, her lips slowly pursing.

"Fate brings people together from thousands of miles away, and without it, they don’t meet even when face to face. We’ve crossed a century to get to know each other. Heaven has decreed our fate! Pei Qin! Marry me! Together!" Shen Songming, who had previously been good at sweet-talking girls, found himself unable to spout those false and ornate phrases to Pei Qin.

"Shen Songming! Stop being hysterical! If you keep this up, you’ll lose your mind!" Pei Qin withdrew her hand and smacked him on the head, irritated. She called for Pei Yuan, "I’m starving, is there anything to eat?"

"...There is. There’s noodles and porridge, what would big sister like to eat?" Pei Yuan nodded hastily and glanced at Shen Songming.

"I want it all! And get me a plate of pickles! See if there’s any pressed beef, and make me a cold dish," Pei Qin said, then went to wash her hands and face.

"Pei Qin!" Shen Songming stood up and roared.

Digging at her ears, Pei Qin rolled her eyes at him, "Act normal, will you?"

"I am acting normal, the abnormal one is you!" Shen Songming retorted angrily, "I’m proposing here! Can’t you seriously consider me for once!?"

Pei Qin frowned in disdain, "Consider you for what? To sell brains with you? Come and wash up, let’s eat! I can’t eat oily food these days, I hardly eat much, and I’m nearly starved to death!"

Shen Songming clenched his teeth, so mad that he was practically fuming. He came over and grabbed her to confront, "Do you like Mo Heng, is that it?"

Pei Qin rolled her eyes at him.

"You want to marry him, so you keep rejecting me!? You haven’t even considered me once!" Shen Songming had traveled wearied and fumbled with several viable ideas, even drafting plans, all to marry her. He didn’t mind that she had spent a night with Mo Heng, but she never thought about marrying him, and now she was carrying Mo Heng’s child.

"Can’t you stop being so dramatic?" Pei Qin glared at him, not wanting this to distance them from each other forever.

"I’m not being dramatic! Not at all!" Shen Songming yelled in anger. Fuming and going in circles, he finally exploded, "Damn it, I am being dramatic! I must be sick in the head!"
