Love Left Me Speechless, and in the End, It Was All for Nothing

“Song Qingying, have you lost your mind?”

“You actually went abroad and secretly got married to Xiao Shen. Does Shen Yubai know about this?”

Song Qingying finished putting on her lipstick and smiled at her reflection, pleased with what she saw.

“Calm down, darling. I have you on speakerphone.”

Her best friend immediately lowered her voice. “Don’t tell me Shen Yubai is right next to you.”

Song Qingying smiled and turned to look at Shen Yubai, sitting on the sofa and patiently waiting for her to finish her makeup.

She curled her lips into an utterly alluring smile.

“Yeah, he’s right behind me, reading a magazine while he waits for me to get ready. Don’t worry, he can’t hear you.”

There was a brief pause on the other end. Her friend’s voice turned cool.

“He lost his hearing trying to save you when you jumped into the river...”

Her friend hadn’t finished speaking when Song Qingying cut her off.

“That’s why I got married to Xiao Shen abroad. I’ll stay here in China with Shen Yubai. And in seven days, I’ll give him a grand wedding.”

“Think of it as compensation for the five years he spent taking such good care of me. As for the marriage certificate, let’s put that aside for now.”

Shen Yubai tightened his grip on the magazine. The force crumpled the pages into a mass of wrinkles.
