Chapter 902: Chapter 891 Reluctant

Can’t deny it, Song Yun’s way of speaking has reached a level of perfection.

With just a few simple words, he sowed discord between Li Xu, Song Kunhu, and Tang Hunshi. Admittedly, perhaps the truth isn’t as Song Yun portrayed, and Li Xu had no ulterior motives when introducing Song Kunhu to Tang Hunshi. But does that matter?

All Song Yun needed to do was sow a seed of distrust in Tang Hunshi’s mind, and over time, this seed might grow into a towering tree.

It’s like the police interrogator always says during questioning, “Do you know what crime you’ve committed?” Usually, when they say this, they already know you did something, but the way they phrase it leads your mind astray. You start thinking they know everything about you, and eventually, every little detail is extracted by them.

Tang Hunshi was feeling something similar; the more he thought about Song Yun’s words, the stranger it seemed. His mind was filled with memories of that day’s gathering. It felt like Li Xu was overly eager to introduce Song Kunhu to him, like Song Kunhu wanted to partner with him, but he was initially against it. It was only after Li Xu’s persistent persuasion that he agreed! It seemed…

The endless “seemingly” made Tang Hunshi’s face grow increasingly grim.

“Are you saying they teamed up to set me up and then almost got me killed just now?” Tang Hunshi asked.

“I can’t say for sure. Maybe it’s all just our imagination,” Song Yun said with a smile. “What’s crucial is seeing if you can extract some information from Coyote. That’s up to your ability now. But I believe one thing: there’s no gratuitous love or hate in this world. At least Song Kunhu’s approach to you is highly suspicious. That’s all I’ll say on this matter. How you decide to handle it is your business, not mine. I’m leaving now, but I’ll give you this warning: I’ve put up with you several times now. If you provoke me again next time, I won’t hesitate to destroy you.”

After saying these words, Song Yun directly got up and headed towards the door.

“Thank you!” Tang Hunshi said solemnly. “Everything in the past was my fault. Here, I, Tang Hunshi, sincerely apologize to you. As for the matter with your father, it’s a past generation’s issue, and I’m not in a position to express anything!”

Song Yun did not stop at all and walked out of the private room. Tang Hunshi sat at his seat for a long time before standing up and coldly saying, “Take me to see Coyote.”

“Yes!”

Song Yun left the hotel, immediately hailed a taxi, and rushed back to his previous hotel, where a charming Xu Ying was eagerly waiting for him.

The thought of soon being able to embrace her made Song Yun’s heart flutter.

Sometimes, being able to win over a woman feels like quite an achievement. Especially when that woman is a stunning beauty.

The taxi driver must have sensed Song Yun’s urgency as he drove quickly. It wasn’t long before they arrived at Song Yun’s previous hotel. Song Yun was just about to call Xu Ying to see which room she was in. Just as he got out of the taxi and had barely taken out his phone, he saw Xu Ying standing at the entrance.

It was quite cold at night, and with Xu Ying wearing just shorts and leggings, she appeared to be shivering, her nose red from the cold, evoking sympathy.

“Why are you standing here?” Song Yun walked up to Xu Ying and asked in surprise.

“I’m waiting for Brother Song Yun,” Xu Ying said, her voice slightly trembling. Since she was standing at the entrance, the wind was rather strong, making her face turn pale.

“Didn’t I tell you to go up just now? Why are you standing here? Honestly!” Song Yun immediately took Xu Ying’s hand and led her into the hotel. Then he booked a presidential suite and took Xu Ying upstairs.

“I… I wanted to wait for Brother Song Yun!” Xu Ying said, bowing her head, holding Song Yun’s hand like a child who had done something wrong.

“Ah, it’s freezing cold. What’s there to wait for? It would’ve been better if you waited for me in the room obediently,” Song Yun hugged Xu Ying, feeling her slightly trembling body, and said, “You silly girl, why were you standing there waiting?”

“Hehe, because I wanted to,” Xu Ying lifted her head, looked at Song Yun, and mischievously smiled. “I used to see wives waiting at the door for their husbands to return on TV, it seemed so warm, so I wanted to try it tonight.”

“You, you, that’s only suitable for certain times. I don’t even know what to say to you!” Song Yun opened the room door and held Xu Ying as they walked into the suite.

As soon as they entered, Song Yun turned on the heater.

“Achoo,” Xu Ying sneezed immediately.

“See, now you’re catching a cold!” Song Yun helplessly pinched Xu Ying’s cheek, feeling its chill, causing his heart to tremble.

“Maybe I was frozen,” Xu Ying said helplessly. “Brother Song Yun, I’ll go take a shower first.”

“What’s the point of showering? You’ll catch a cold if you do. Just sleep now,” Song Yun said.

“Ah? Don’t shower? On TV, whenever a man and woman are in a hotel, they always need to shower first,” Xu Ying said with confusion.

“That’s for when they’re about to do adult things. It’s for cleanliness,” Song Yun explained.

“But didn’t Brother Song Yun say earlier that we’re going to… do that thing?” Xu Ying said shyly.

“Haha, you silly girl, I was just joking!” Song Yun patted Xu Ying’s head and said, “You’re so naive, I wouldn’t dare to do anything with you, otherwise, people would say I tricked an innocent young girl!”

Xu Ying pouted and looked at Song Yun aggrievedly, saying, “I’m not silly!”

“You’re not silly? If you weren’t, you wouldn’t be standing alone in the freezing cold at the entrance waiting for me, silly girl!” Song Yun laughed. Seeing Xu Ying wanted to say something, he directly lifted her into his arms and said, “I’m taking you to get some sleep!”

“Ah!” Xu Ying exclaimed and tightly hugged Song Yun.

Song Yun carried Xu Ying, kicking open the door, and walked into the room. Arriving at the bed, he tossed Xu Ying onto it and said, “Quickly sleep, before you catch a cold!”

“Brother Song Yun… are you… are you despising me?” Xu Ying looked at Song Yun with an aggrieved expression.

“Oh, no way, this is what I call being reluctant, it’s what I call cherishing, you know?” Song Yun pulled the blanket and covered Xu Ying, saying, “Didn’t you say you like heroes? When I truly become a hero, I’ll definitely have a good chat with you about life! Now, isn’t the time.”
