Liancheng.
Pei Liyan and Song Xun were having dinner together.
Outside, it was getting dark.
Song Xun raised his glass and began, "This time, I owe much to Brother Pei for his strong support."
Hearing Song Xun speak, Pei Liyan showed a gentle expression on his usually indifferent face, nodded slightly, and clinked glasses with him.
"Don't mention it!"
The two men exchanged a smile and set down their glasses.
Song Xun spoke candidly, "Brother Pei, without your push, I might still be hesitating."
Pei Liyan smiled faintly. "No, it's not that you couldn't decide, you just weren't pushed to that point."
Song Xun was startled, then he too smiled.
Pei Liyan knew that Song Xun didn't truly want to get engaged to the Shen Family, having someone else in his heart surely tied his hands in all matters.
However, as the head of the Song Family, his father would never allow it.
