Song Jingchuan looked at Si Muyang in surprise, never expecting Si Muyang to say such treasonous words.
He looked around warily, fearing that someone might be listening nearby; he absolutely could not let anyone hear what he was saying.
He lowered his voice and said, "What? You...you're crazy?! Do you think you can just cause trouble like this? You don't want your military status or your official position anymore?"
Si Muyang said, "What would I need these things for without Xiao Kui? My mother's small business is enough to support her and her two children. I don't need to worry about the three of them."
He walked past Song Jingchuan.
Song Jingchuan grabbed Si Muyang's arm. "Get this straight, this isn't something you can do on a whim!"
Do you think Xiao Kui likes you? Regardless of whether you like Xiao Kui or not, Xiao Kui has the right not to like you.
And the feeling I got from her was that she didn't like you; she only saw you as a brother!
He had to remind Si Muyang that Cheng Xiaokui's feelings for Si Muyang were not romantic, but purely brotherly!
Si Muyang's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
He said, "Whether she likes me or not is her business; whether I like her or not is my business."
Song Jingchuan asked, "What if you gave everything, including your position and the career you've worked so hard for over the years, to keep her, but she still doesn't like you in the end?"
Si Muyang said, "No regrets! No remorse!"
He strode off to find his good buddies for drinks. People were already leaving one after another. In a little while, the store would close. This should be the last song Cheng Xiao Kui sang.
Song Jingchuan stood there blankly, watching Si Muyang's back.
This was something he hadn't expected...
Si Muyang is willing to give everything for Cheng Xiaokui, but he doesn't expect Cheng Xiaokui to fall in love with him.
Song Yalan walked over to her brother and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at? Xiao Kui is singing. Let's go listen to her sing."
Song Jingchuan said, "Yalan, do you like Si Muyang that much? If Si Muyang isn't available, can't you like someone else? Actually, I don't think Si Muyang is a good match for you."
Song Yalan said, "How come he's not suitable for me? He and Xiao Kui are already divorced, and they didn't have a marital relationship."
Xiao Kui is such a good person. She's not as vicious as the rumors say at all. She's always there for Si Muyang!
A sweet smile graced her face; she was grateful that Cheng Xiao Kui had told her that they hadn't actually had that kind of relationship.
Cheng Xiao Kui did all this undoubtedly to help her and Si Mu Yang get together.
Song Jingchuan pursed his lips, unsure how to tell his sister.
He hesitated before saying, "Well, this matter actually has nothing to do with Xiao Kui. I mean, even if Xiao Kui and Si Muyang divorce, Si Muyang still doesn't have feelings for you."
Song Yalan asked, "Brother, what do you mean? Did you tell Si Muyang that he rejected you?"
Does he really dislike me that much? He won't even give me a chance...
I waited for him for so many years, and even though he married Xiao Kui, I still can't let go of my feelings for him..."
Seeing the tears welling up in his sister's eyes, Song Jingchuan quickly said, "Hey, don't cry. I didn't say he rejected me. I haven't even mentioned it to him yet."
I'm just worried that... what if I bring it up with him and he disagrees? I'm afraid you'll lose face..."
Song Yalan stared intently at Song Jinchuan, asking each word carefully, "You haven't mentioned it to him yet, not a single word?"
Song Jingchuan nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't listen to a single word. I was just afraid of what might happen! What if he wasn't interested in you at all?"
Song Yalan smiled slightly and said, "What's there to be afraid of? He doesn't know I'm interested in him. If he suddenly finds out, he'll have to think about it."
Besides, he's already divorced. He's not interested in me now, so why can't he be interested in me in the future?
I think feelings will develop over time. The longer we spend together, the more he'll feel how good I am to him, right, brother?
Song Jingchuan nodded helplessly and said, "That's right. Familiarity breeds fondness, and since you two have been working together all along, you might be the most suitable match."
There's soda in that room, help yourself. We'll be leaving soon, so grab whatever you want to eat.
Let's see if they still have any skewers. If they do, we'll buy them all and take them home for Dad to enjoy with his drinks!
Song Yalan happily went to get the soda and check if there were any leftover skewers. If so, she would buy them all and take them home for her father to drink with his drinks.
However, when she took the soda to check the oven, she discovered that all the food was gone.
Not only are grilled skewers and sausages gone, but even snacks like potato chips and braised potatoes are gone.
Song Jingchuan stood there, pressing his throbbing temples.
Seeing his sister's red eyes just now, he didn't dare tell Song Ya any of the truth, fearing that Song Ya Lan wouldn't be able to bear it.
Only he knew that Song Yalan was deeply in love with Si Muyang.
Song Yalan kept all her feelings hidden in her heart and never revealed them.
This kind of deep-seated emotion is far more devoted than any sentiment expressed openly.
How can we protect Cheng Xiao Kui to the greatest extent possible without harming her younger sister?
Words escaped from the corner of his lips, "Old Si, you should give up on Xiao Kui. If you give up on Xiao Kui, it will allow the four of us to be together..."
His eyes were as deep as the sea, concealing a torrent of emotions within him...
He walked over and sat down next to Si Muyang, drinking with his good brothers.
He kept glancing outside the courtyard, where people were already leaving one after another.
Everything outside the courtyard is normal; it seems the investigation team won't be coming today.
After Cheng Xiao Kui finished singing, she stood up and bowed to everyone to thank them for coming to the bar.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, but unfortunately it was too late and everyone had to go to work the next day, so they gradually left.
Cheng Xiaokui instructed the older women to pack up everything that needed to be packed. Once everything was packed up, the women working the night shift could go home.
Of all the workers, Cheng Chun-kui was the most diligent.
She worked more and faster than anyone else; she didn't have a moment's rest all night.
Cheng Xiao Kui saw everything; Cheng Chun Kui was the hardest worker.
The tables and chairs outside the courtyard were all brought inside, leaving only Song Jingchuan and Si Muyang, his good brothers, at the courtyard table.
A few close friends, seeing that there were no outsiders present, discussed the matter together.
Jiang Bin said, "I'll go home and talk to my husband about the situation, and he'll report it to the higher-ups. Du Ziqiang, you should talk to your husband too."
Du Ziqiang said, "You think I didn't say it? I said it a long time ago. My old man also went to report it a long time ago. But the situation is, they really have no descendants!"
Cheng Xiaokui walked over and sat down next to Si Muyang. She asked, "Old Song! Did you see Zhang Weidong today? What did he say to you?"
Song Jingchuan shrugged and said, "Don't even mention it. I waited outside the hospital ward all day. I didn't see him at all! Why didn't he see me? That's strange!"
