Realizing this, Bai Shuangshuang couldn't help but shed tears.
She gave Shen Yunting a deep look, then turned and ran away.
Even from a distance, I could still hear her soft sobbing.
"Father really doesn't know how to cherish women. His words are like a knife stuck in people's hearts."
Chen Song appeared in the corner at some point, speaking with a half-smile.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Yunting glanced at him indifferently.
"Does Father not want me here, afraid that I will disturb your good time?" Chen Song asked in return.
When Bai Shuangshuang carried the bowl of noodles toward the study, a servant had already informed him of the matter.
He rushed there immediately because he was worried that Shen Yunting might make a mistake.
Fortunately, the other party did not do anything inappropriate.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also secretly hated his past foolishness.
"Do you think I'm like you?" Shen Yunting said rudely.
He stated frankly, "I will never break my promise."
These words immediately choked Chen Song's throat.
He could only change the subject, asking, "What were you referring to as her identity just now?"
"It's none of your business," Shen Yunting said calmly, then turned to go back to his study.
"Father, we are father and son. Can't I even know about this?" Chen Song questioned with dissatisfaction.
"This matter is of great importance. The more people who know about it, the more it will affect the General's Mansion. I cannot gamble on it, and I am also afraid of implicating you all," Shen Yunting explained after a long sigh.
Seeing that he had already said that, Chen Song didn't press the matter any further.
He gave a wry smile and said, "Fine, both the father and mother are smarter than their son, so it's not his place to do anything."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunting frowned, his displeasure evident, but he said nothing.
He simply returned to his study, picked out a few books from the bookshelf, and tossed them into Chen Song's arms.
He said sternly, "Go back and read these books. I will personally ask you about them in a couple of days. If there are any mistakes, blame me for disregarding our father-son relationship."
The smile on Shen Song's face froze instantly, and a faint sense of regret welled up in his heart.
I should have kept quiet tonight.
What he hates most is reading.
He looked up at Shen Yunting, feeling the imposing aura emanating from him, and couldn't bring himself to refuse.
I had no choice but to obediently agree.
It was already midnight when Shen Yunting returned to his room.
By the light of the candle in the room, he could barely make out the surrounding furnishings.
The room was still arranged as it was when Qu Jingyun was there, and he could almost imagine what she would do in the room.
She would dress herself up at the vanity.
He would recline on a soft couch and read comic books.
They would sit by the candlelight and eat.
...
It seems that Qu Jingyun's shadow is everywhere here.
As Shen Yunting gazed at the scene, his eyes welled up with tears, and a deep sense of longing surged within him.
Finally, he stood up, opened the door, and disappeared into the night.
In a short while, he appeared at Qu Jingyun's bedside.
Seeing the familiar face, his heart finally calmed down.
Shen Yunting slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and gently stroked Qu Jingyun's cheek.
He dared not use force, for fear of waking the other person.
This face had appeared in his dreams many times at midnight, helping him escape life-or-death situations time and time again.
This is his wife!
She is the person he has been longing for!
But who would have thought...
Shen Yunting let out a soft breath, then lifted the blanket and lay down, gently embracing the person in his arms.
Once everything was ready, he suddenly felt his face flush red.
In all his years, this was the first time he had ever done something like stealing a woman's affections.
It's really not presentable.
But the longing in his heart compelled him to do so.
Shen Yunting looked down at the person in his arms, and his heart, which had been adrift at sea, seemed to finally find its place.
He lowered his head and kissed Qu Jingyun on the forehead.
She let out a soft moan as she approached the other person, as if she were about to be startled awake.
Shen Yunting was startled, his heart leaping into his throat.
Fortunately, Qu Jingyun only shifted uncomfortably, snuggled closer to him, hugged his waist, and fell asleep again.
Shen Yunting couldn't help but chuckle softly, and gently tapped Qu Jingyun's nose with his index finger.
"You've been the same all these years."
He slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
After years of fighting, he had long been accustomed to a life of restless sleep.
Now, holding his beloved in his arms, his heart was finally at peace, and he slept more soundly than ever before.
This is why Qu Jingyun was somewhat taken aback when she woke up from her sleep and saw Shen Yunting's profile.
She blinked, looking incredulous.
How did this person end up in her bed?
Is it a dream?
She reached out and pinched her thigh, almost crying out in pain.
This is not a dream!
Noticing this, Qu Jingyun didn't hold back and kicked him directly.
Shen Yunting immediately tumbled and scrambled to the ground.
He opened his eyes and looked at the person on the bed with a wronged expression.
"Madam, what are you doing?"
He seemed no different from when they were newlyweds, which deeply touched Qu Jingyun's heart.
This reminded Qu Jingyun of everything in the past, and her expression became somewhat dazed.
But she quickly realized what was happening.
She demanded sharply, "How did you end up in my bed? We're divorced, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
