Qi Yu wasn't in the mood to talk too much to her. So, he grabbed her wrist and walked toward the hotel. Song Nian struggled a few times but couldn't break free. She turned around to look at the stunned singer and reminded Qi Yu, "Let go, my friend is still there!"
Qi Yu acted as if he didn't hear her. He didn't loosen his grip on Song Nian at all and dragged her forward in large strides. The singer stood where he was and watched for a while, but he didn't catch up. He must have realized that Song Nian and Qi Yu knew each other. When Song Nian turned around again, he waved his hand at her.
Qi Yu took big strides as he dragged Song Nian all the way into the hotel. He didn't let go of Song Nian until they reached the elevator. Song Nian's wrist was already red from his grip.
Song Nian covered her wrist and glared at Qi Yu, "What are you doing?!"
Qi Yu pressed the elevator button and turned to look at Song Nian. Song Nian's eyes were still red, and her hair was a little messy. She was probably tired from the journey back. Her cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was a little ragged.
This somehow reminded Qi Yu of when Song Nian was under him not long ago.
He quickly turned his head and stared at the floor numbers showing on the elevator without moving, "It's so late, and you're still out with a strange man. Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Song Nian flexed his wrist and frowned before letting go, "So what? It's my freedom to be with whoever I want. You don't have the right to control me."
Qi Yu sneered, "Do you think I want to control you? It's because I promised Grandpa before he died that I would take good care of you. I'm just keeping my promise."
Song Nian laughed mockingly, "Forget it. If you really kept your promise, you wouldn't have divorced me so soon after he died."
Qi Yu was rendered speechless by Song Nian's words.
Song Nian looked at the constantly moving electronic screen of the elevator, "You promised a lot of things. Since you didn't do what you promised earlier, don't pretend to care about what happened later."
She paused for a moment. She couldn't help but be mad at him, "Besides, you should know that we're divorced, right? In the future, I'll have other men by my side, and you'll have other women by your side. You don't have to care about me, and I don't need you to care about me either. Since we're divorced, let's not get involved anymore, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator arrived just in time. The elevator door opened, and Song Nian went in first. Although her eyes were red, her expression was cold. Qi Yu thought for a moment and followed her in.
Song Nian pressed the number of floors, and when the elevator went up. Song Nian calmed down a little, "Anyway, I would say thank you for this. I know you're doing this for my own good, but I don't need it. No matter what happens, it's my own business. I can take responsibility for myself. You don't have to see me as your responsibility, and you don't have to worry about Grandpa. From the moment we signed the divorce agreement, there was nothing between us anymore."
Qi Yu's brows slowly furrowed. After a long while, he slowly relaxed, "Alright, I won't interfere in your matters anymore. I'm sorry."
Song Nian didn't say a word. When the elevator reached their floor, Qi Yu was the first to leave. Song Nian was a step slower. After she exited the elevator, she stood there without moving. After she watched Qi Yu return to his room, Song Nian felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest. She stood there for a long time before she slowly walked back to her room.
It was getting late. The sea breeze had blown song Nian for a long time, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She went to the bathroom to take a bath before going to bed.
She placed her phone by her pillow and picked it up to send a message to Zheng Chengyang. She asked Zheng Chengyang to cancel her itinerary. She didn't want to see Qi Yu again, and she said that she would arrange her own itinerary.
Zheng Chengyang didn't reply. She didn't know if he had gone to sleep.
Song Nian laid in bed for a while and didn't fall asleep. Although her body was tired, her spirit was high. Her mind was in a mess, and she only managed to sleep for a while after daybreak, but she woke up not long after.
When the sun had just risen, the light was not that bright. Song Nian simply got up and went to the window. She looked out through the glass and saw the world outside. This was a tourist city, and most people chose to go out to play at night, everyone was resting early in the morning, and it was quiet outside.
Song Nian stood by the window for a while before she went to wash up. When she was almost done, her phone rang. She knew who was calling, so she walked over and picked up the phone. Sure enough, Shen Chong's name was there. She picked it up immediately.
