She has always been keenly perceptive of emotions.
Even though Song Nuan didn't say anything, Xu Yiran guessed it based on Song Ningxue's evasiveness about her boyfriend and Qin Yuchuan's excessive concern for Song Ningxue.
Suppressing her anger, she asked in a low voice, "Song Nuan, tell me honestly, did Qin Yuchuan cheat on you?"
Song Nuan pursed her lips, "Why are you asking this?"
"That woman is Song Ningxue, isn't she?" she persisted.
Song Nuan did not answer.
Seeing her restrained expression, Xu Yiran was furious.
"You've always known, haven't you? When did they start?"
Song Nuan patted her shoulder and said, "Yi Ran, I know you're angry, but this matter is complicated. I'll explain it to you when I have time, okay?"
Xu Yiran kicked the trash can hard in anger.
Then she stared at Qin Yuchuan's back.
She muttered under her breath, "Damn it, you bastards, men are just cheap!"
She suddenly raised her voice for the last sentence.
Although no names were mentioned, it was close enough, since Qin Yuchuan was the only man present.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuchuan turned around and gave her a cold look.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Yiran glared at him fiercely. "In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen such a shameless man."
Song Nuan couldn't help but remind her, "Don't forget, he's your boss."
As soon as she mentioned it, Xu Yiran remembered.
She just received an offer from Qin's Group.
At that moment, the operating room lights went out, and the doctor came out.
Qin Yuchuan walked up and asked, "How is she?"
The doctor shook his head. "The adult is fine and just needs a few days of rest, but... I'm sorry, we did our best, but we couldn't save the baby."
"What did you say?!" Xu Yiran rushed forward like a madwoman.
Song Nuan was startled.
She subconsciously looked at Qin Yuchuan, only to find him very calm—at least that's how he appeared. His handsome face showed no emotion, and his expression management was impeccable.
How could he be so calm?
Xu Yiran reacted the most, grabbing the doctor and asking, "Doctor, she's pregnant?"
The doctor looked at her and asked, "Are you a family member?"
Song Nuan dragged Xu Yiran away again and thanked the doctor.
Almost everyone was stunned.
Although Chen Ya was shocked, she was ultimately afraid of taking responsibility. After Qin Yuchuan told her to leave, she immediately ran away.
Xu Yiran, however, did not leave.
After she calmed down, she looked at Song Nuan and then at Qin Yuchuan.
They were both too calm and too composed.
Xu Yiran felt a chill run down her spine and looked at Qin Yuchuan, "Qin, don't tell me that Song Ningxue is carrying your child?"
Song Nuan frowned. "Yi Ran, it's getting late. I'll take you home."
Xu Yiran absolutely refused to leave.
"Qin Yuchuan, are you even human? Song Ningxue is your sister-in-law! You cheated on her and even got her pregnant with your child! What do you take Song Nuan for?"
Qin Yuchuan looked at her calmly, "The child was lost because of you."
"What, you still want to hold me responsible?"
Enraged, Xu Yiran blurted out whatever came to mind, "Don't tell me the child is innocent! Even God can't stand it anymore! Your adulterous child shouldn't have been born!"
Qin Yuchuan's face grew increasingly gloomy.
He avoids this topic.
Especially in front of Song Nuan, even though she already knew, he didn't want to bring it up in front of her.
He said coldly, "Xu Yiran, don't think I really wouldn't dare to do anything to you."
Song Nuan gave him a deep look, then pulled Xu Yiran into the elevator without saying a word.
As the elevator doors closed, she said calmly, "Thank you for staying and taking care of her."
Inside the car.
Xu Yiran had already finished her second bottle of mineral water.
She squeezed the mineral water bottle into a flat shape.
Song Nuan drove her back to the hotel. The two remained silent on the way until the car stopped downstairs at the hotel.
Xu Yiran didn't get out of the car and asked her, "Do you live with Qin Yuchuan?"
"No, I live alone."
"Do you have any extra rooms?" Xu Yiran asked.
Song Nuan nodded.
Xu Yiran said, "My hotel lease expires tomorrow. Wait a moment, I'll go pack my things and stay at your place tonight."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that her tone had been a bit harsh.
After all, it's like an order to move into someone else's house.
So she added, "Is that okay?"
Song Nuan smiled and said, "You're very welcome."
Xu Yiran packed her things quickly, and in just a few minutes, she came downstairs with her suitcase.
She didn't have much stuff, just a suitcase and a large handbag.
Song Nuan found it strange, "You came back from abroad with just this much stuff?"
"It's too much trouble to carry around a lot of stuff, so I only brought some essentials. I resold the rest that I didn't need. Anyway, it's useless to bring it back; it just takes up space."
Song Nuan nodded approvingly, "Smart."
Xu Yiran glanced at her, her words carrying a hidden meaning, "Men are the same; if they're useless, just throw them away."
Song Nuan: "..."
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the villa's garage.
The family hasn't hired anyone yet.
Song Nuan then told Xu Yiran to take a shower first, while she tidied up the room for her.
However, Xu Yiran did not stay there.
She sat in Song Nuan's room, waiting for her to finish her work.
Song Nuan shut down the computer and asked her, "Are you hungry?"
In fact, she knew perfectly well what Xu Yiran wanted to say by staying here.
"Song Nuan, you know, you know everything, right?" Xu Yiran suppressed her anger. "This is how that bastard Qin Yuchuan bullied you?"
Song Nuan pursed her lips and remained silent.
To be honest, in this matter, he is the only person who has explicitly defended her over the years.
Song Nuan was very touched.
She always thought that she and Xu Yiran were just dining buddies during their four years of university. They weren't exactly strangers, but their relationship wasn't close enough for them to confide in each other.
So she has never told anyone what has happened over the years.
"Say something!"
Xu Yiran was exasperated. "How many years have you been married? And how long has he been cheating on me? I was wondering why Song Ningxue looked so pregnant today, and I even joked that she was pregnant. I never expected it to be true!"
Song Nuan poured her a glass of water.
“On our wedding day, he took Song Ningxue abroad. They returned to China about a month later, and that's when I found out that Song Ningxue was pregnant with his child.”
She spoke calmly, as if it were none of her business.
Xu Yiran laughed angrily, "So he's been cheating on me for at least three years?"
Song Nuan nodded.
Haven't you ever thought about divorce?
“It’s in the planning stages.” Song Nuan said succinctly, “When the time is right, I will divorce him. You know, a family like ours can’t just be dissolved so easily; it involves a lot of things.”
Xu Yiran snorted, "Don't be soft-hearted about the division of property. Also, be careful that he doesn't transfer assets."
"I know."
Song Nuan smiled, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
Snuggling into bed, Xu Yiran hugged her. "But when the doctor said the baby was gone, he didn't seem to have much of an emotion. Maybe his relationship with Song Ningxue was just a momentary impulse?"
