Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love

I must have lost my mind to have asked her to be my witness! This is only making things worse; the misunderstanding’s getting deeper and deeper! Su Zhinian scolded himself for his stupidity. He turned around to raise three fingers before Song Qingchun and swore, “Tingting, I promise you everything that I’ve said is true. If there’s any falsity, then may God strike me down…”

Su Zhinian only got through half of his swearing when Song Qingchun reached out to grab his hand and interrupt him. “I trust you.”

Su Zhinian was startled and looked at Song Qingchun with apparent disbelief. He studied her expression closely and tried to read her real thoughts through their entwining hands. Song Qingchun seemed to have known he would do that because she pulled her hands away to put a stop to his mind-reading. She walked around Su Zhinian toward the woman sitting on the couch.

There were two important reasons why she left home that day. One was to give Qin Yinan his birthday present, and the other was to visit Su Zhinian at his office. Before she arrived, she had already predicted this ambiguous scene between Su Zhinian and another woman. The only reason she knew that was because this woman had given her enough hints when Su Zhinian wasn’t paying attention.

To be precise, they weren’t hints but challenges.

Three days ago, when she was doing Su Zhinian’s laundry, she had found used lipsticks in Su Zhinian’s suit pocket. However, Song Qingchun didn’t panic like other women in similar situations because she knew Su Zhinian definitely wouldn’t get himself involved in an affair.

Su Zhinian was handsome, young, rich, and famous; it was natural that he had many admirers. In fact, when he accompanied her to the hospital for her pregnancy checks, there were nurses who confessed to him. Therefore, Song Qingchun didn’t think too much of that lipsticks and dropped it into the dustbin and out of her mind.

Perhaps it was her lack of reaction that instigated the exacerbation of the taunting because the next day, she detected the smell of a female’s perfume and a long brown hair on Su Zhinian’s removed suit.

Song Qingchun had faith in Su Zhinian’s loyalty, but she was still slightly disturbed, This woman has daily interactions with Su Zhinian?

Therefore, yesterday, when Su Zhinian returned home, she had sniffed his suit. It was the same perfume smell, which meant that he had met that woman again that day. Before bed, Song Qingchun had tried to find out more information under the pretext of chatting. She managed to find out that he had been trying to close a deal with a representative from Thailand for the past few days. They were supposed to sign that contract at 10 am the day after.

Song Qingchun understood instantly that the mystery woman was this supposed representative.

After the contract was signed, Su Zhinian’s interaction with that woman would be over, so Song Qingchun didn’t think too much of it and decided to let things play its course. However, this morning, after Su Zhinian went to work, as she did his laundry, she discovered a faded lipstick stain on his clothes.
