Chapter 711: In This World, Love Is the Hardest to Unravel
The meal, after all, was not finished, and Song Yansheng left early.
He left Ji Xiangling alone in the spacious and luxurious private room and walked away.
Ji Xiangling did not ask him to stay, knowing full well she couldn’t make him stay.
After he left, she tried hard to maintain her composure and elegance, continuing to slowly eat her steak and drink her red wine.
But after a few more bites, she finally couldn’t control herself and broke into tears.
She was Ji Xiangling, known as the genius fashion designer Ji Xiangling, an outstanding and strong woman.
During her six years alone abroad, no one knew how much hardship and fatigue she had endured.
Everyone saw her glorious side, but no one ever knew how much she sacrificed for that glory.
But she never shed a tear for it, nor did she feel wronged, because there was a sun ahead of her, so brilliantly shining.
She wanted to get close to him, she had to make herself strong enough.
During the years abroad, she hadn’t completely ignored Song Yansheng.
He rarely had scandals, and people always thought he had little interest in women.
The occasional gossip was always unfounded rumors, she thought perhaps, Song Yansheng was waiting for her in some invisible way.
In six years, she had grown, and so had Song Yansheng.
In T City, everyone knew him, everyone was aware of him, by the age of twenty-nine, he had already become the richest man in T City.
He was excellent, so excellent that others felt they could never reach him.
She had always been a very confident woman, confident in front of any man.
But only in front of Song Yansheng, did she become weak, self-abased, and fragile.
She was stubborn, headstrong, pretending to appear unaffected.
But whether she could truly remain unaffected, she knew best herself.
If she were truly that proud and strong, she wouldn’t have been persuaded by her mother to use Song Yansheng to hype herself.
She wouldn’t have been so overjoyed to receive an invitation from Song Yansheng.
She certainly wouldn’t have been unable to contain her happiness upon seeing Song Yansheng enter the room.
A woman, after all, is a woman...
When infatuated with a man, a woman really can become very foolish...
Just like she was now...
...
That night, although Song Yansheng left early, he returned very late, after going to sit with Qu Yuzuo for a while.
The gossip about him and Ji Xiangling had spread all over the city, Shi Nuan was bound to know.
He didn’t know how to explain it to Shi Nuan once he got back, or whether Shi Nuan would even believe him after the explanation.
Then there was his true feeling towards Shi Nuan, and whether he should tell her, he could never make up his mind about that.
Asking Qu Yuzuo was a good option.
At that time, Qu Yuzuo had just finished a major surgery and was about to go eat.
Along with Ji Xiangling, Song Yansheng hadn’t eaten much either, so the two of them went to a Chinese restaurant near the hospital, got a private room, ordered a few dishes, and had some wine, and started eating.
During the meal, Song Yansheng confided his worries to Qu Yuzuo.
Qu Yuzuo listened and laughed, "You used to solve any problem on your own, seldom asking me for help, but since you’ve been with Shi Nuan, you’ve turned to me more than once or twice..."
He sighed a little, and said, "There’s a saying that the word ’love’ is the hardest to understand in this world, I didn’t really believe it before, but seeing you like this, I truly understand it!"
Song Yansheng said, "The word ’love’ is indeed hard to comprehend, but it’s also something that warms the heart. When you find the person you’re looking for, and can be together with her, perhaps then you’ll understand how I feel!"
