He only knew the surface of what had happened in Haicheng and could not delve any deeper.
Only someone like Long Yunting could protect her.
Sheng Qian has a lot to do.
He saw her ambition, and he also saw her hard work.
Perhaps, in the future, he can lend a helping hand in the capital.
To make her life a little easier.
Song Yuzhou's feelings towards Sheng Qian were somewhat complicated and unclear.
Song Yuzhou thought that perhaps he really wanted to repay her favor and that's all he did.
"Young Master Song, don't have too much faith in me. Sometimes you have to think about yourself more to live a peaceful life. The circle you're in, Young Master Song, has probably learned a lot more than I have. You understand that some things can't be too frank and you always have to leave yourself some room to maneuver."
Song Yuzhou gazed quietly at the woman before him. Perhaps thinking of something, the usually meticulous man couldn't help but smile slightly.
“You’re right. So, we can be considered partners?” Song Yuzhou raised his teacup, indicating that they could clink tea cups instead of wine.
Sheng Qian smiled and raised her teacup to clink glasses with Song Yuzhou.
Their cooperation is covert and cannot be made too public.
They're all smart people; they understood immediately.

From the second floor, anyone looking down can see that table of handsome men and beautiful women.
They all had faint smiles on their faces and looked very harmonious.
"That's not the fourth young master of the Song family!"
Long Shaotian brought his fiancée out for dinner. Since the person they had arranged to meet hadn't arrived yet, they stood to the side and waited. Following his gaze downwards, he saw a scene below.
He knew Song Yuzhou, but he had never seen the beautiful woman opposite him.
Could she be Song Yuzhou's wife?
He had only been back for a short time and had no interest in prying into other people's private affairs, so he didn't know whether Song Yuzhou was married or not.
"Do you know them? Should we go down and say hello?" Greyley asked in a low voice when he noticed that Greyley was staring at the couple.
The two were speaking a foreign language, and few of the people here knew that language, so they couldn't understand what they were talking about.
"Yes, we know each other, but we don't interact much. Since you'll be living here in the future, you should get to know this person. You might run into him. He's the fourth young master of the Song family, and he's now on a political path. He gives us the impression of being meticulous and a bit pedantic."
"Pedantic?"
Greyley didn't understand what he meant.
Long Shaotian held her hand and patiently explained it to her.
After waiting for about ten minutes, several people from the astronomical research team came over and were incredibly enthusiastic when they saw Long Shaotian.
Meanwhile, Sheng Qian and Song Yuzhou were having a good chat.
It was half an hour later when I left.
Song Yuzhou watched her drive away, remaining motionless for a long time.
The driver urged him to get into the car before he finally got in.
Long Shaotian glanced down from the second-floor window and witnessed this scene.
Then, unable to resist asking those present, "The fourth young master of the Song family is married?"
Everyone was chatting about astronomy when they were suddenly stunned by what Long Shaotian said.
A man who loved to inquire about the affairs of prominent families in the capital said, "The fourth young master of the Song family is not married, but his doorstep has been worn down by matchmakers for a long time. Countless people want to give him their daughters, but he has not accepted a single one. This has become a lot of gossip, but compared to this, everyone is more concerned about his upcoming promotion."
Long Shaotian couldn't help but look at the man with curiosity.
Seeing that he had stirred up everyone's gossip, the man continued, "Young Master Song is quite remarkable. He has been promoted several ranks at a young age. Everyone, whether his age or older, envies him. In the future, this Young Master Song will truly be extraordinary."
Long Shaotian raised an eyebrow. "The Song family certainly has that kind of ability; even their sons are more capable than other families."
"That's right," someone sighed. "Unlike my little rascal, he's getting more and more irresponsible, it's driving me crazy. If he were even half as good as Shaotian, I'd be secretly happy!"
"Why doesn't Old Chen compare himself to Young Master Song? I can't even compare to half of Young Master Song, so how can I be considered capable?"
Long Shaotian was well aware of his current position; he was just a nobody doing research.
She is indeed no match for Song Yuzhou.
Long Shaotian was unaware of the conflict between Elder Long and the Song family.
Although the Song family and the Long family had always kept to themselves, the idea of marrying the Song family's daughter to his second brother arose that year.
He was aware of this.
As for why things turned out that way, he only found out after he returned.
Knowing all this is why he decided to stay. He not only failed to help his family when they were being bullied, but he was also completely unaware of what they were going through.
He is truly unfilial.
Now that we're back, we should naturally pay more attention to any unknown threats.
The Song family had taken a different path from the Long family, so there was no possibility of them becoming enemies.
Now things are different. His fourth brother, Long Hongwen, has followed the same path, so there's a possibility that he might do the same in the future. Therefore, he will pay attention to what he can.
It's better to be prepared.
