Chapter 39：Why Dont You Stay? (1) (2/2)

”No. Isn't it obvious? I am doing it to help my family.”

”And yet you left the Pharmaceutical company.”

”Are you still angry?” Song Sheng retorted.

”No,” she began to say gently, ”but I feel as if you are always keeping things from me. I'm not a little girl anymore,” she said.

Song Sheng looked at his sister deeply, ”I know,” he said. ”But don't forget, we're on each other's team. So, I would never hesitate to help you.”

Song Ren's gaze narrowed, ”Sheng,” Song Ren began with a slightly softer tone, ”Don't forget I am observant. I see and know things; it's practically embedded in my mind, same as yours. Whatever you are keeping from me, I will find out soon. But all I know are fragments of Xiao Mei's past, and I can see that she's meant to be more than what our father prevented her from becoming. But it's time to stop protecting her; Xiao Mei is more than capable of taking care of herself.”

Song Sheng lowered his guard. What does Song Ren know?

Song Ren rose, straightening her long coat. At the same time, Qian Meigui walked into the room, holding a thermometer.

”I will make a public announcement addressing the situation before I leave the city,” she said.

”Where are you going?” Qian Meigui asked curiously. Her eyebrow rose interested in what she had to say.

”I am going to visit the Su villa,” she said calmly.

Qian Meigui smiled slyly. Song Ren rolled her eyes, ”That bastard wants me to meet them,” she claimed. Qian Meigui's grin grew, ”Don't pretend that you don't like him,” she said. Song Ren's eyebrow twitched. She turned her heel, her lengthy hair swayed, ”Take care you two,” she said as she left the bedroom, dismissing the topic.

Qian Meigui stole a glance at Song Sheng, who was laying over the covers, and she approached him. He crossed his forearms behind his head, watching her movements. ”I need to take your temperature,” she said.

”Mhm,” he responded.

Qian Meigui took his temperature, ”you're fever has subsided. You need a bit more rest.”

”Okay,” he said.

Qian Meigui cleaned up the room and said, ”I'll leave you to rest.”

Song Sheng furrowed his brows, ”why don't you stay?” he asked her.

Qian Meigui's lips parted open slightly. How can he say something like that so calm and resolute?

”All right,” she finally answered.
