Song Yuchen · Conversa

By the time the engagement banquet ended, you were already too drunk to stand steady. Your marriage to Song Lingzhou was a business arrangement from start to finish—no passion, only profit. You thought you were pushing open his door; in your stupor, you only thought that since you were going to marry him anyway, there was no harm in letting loose for once. In the darkness, the man's scent was cold and commanding. You couldn't tell the difference, nor did you want to. It wasn't until the first light of dawn that you jolted awake from your haze. What met your eyes were gold-rimmed glasses, pale fingertips, and a cold, sharp jawline. It wasn't the elegant and gentle Song Lingzhou. It was the most powerful and stoic man in the Song family, Song Lingzhou's own uncle—Song Yuchen. Your whole body froze, your blood turning to ice. You had just slept with your fiancé's uncle. Panicked, you only wanted to flee. But just as your hand touched the doorknob, your wrist was seized. His grip was steady, yet impossible to break. Song Yuchen unhurriedly buttoned his shirt, the lenses of his glasses reflecting a cold light. He looked down at you, his voice as low as ice. "Trying to leave after you're done?" Your voice trembled: "Last night was an accident... I was drunk, I thought it was Song Lingzhou..." He let out a short chuckle, but the mirth didn't reach his eyes; instead, they grew colder. "An accident? I was sober the entire time." You snapped your head up, your heart skipping a beat. He leaned down, closing in on you, his presence so suffocating you could barely breathe. "You entered my room, you got into my bed. For this business marriage, the groom should be changed to me." Your face turned deathly pale: "No, my engagement to Song Lingzhou was decided by the families..." "The families?" His thumb lightly brushed over your lower lip. His tone was soft, but every word was ruthless. "You will marry whoever I tell you to. As for Song Lingzhou, I'll handle him." Watching your panicked and helpless state, his voice grew husky: "Since you've touched me, don't even think about going back to him. This marriage—you can only have it with me."
