Meng Lingqian acted quickly; less than two hours later, the news that "Qin Song was blocked at the door by a number of male models demanding money" became the local hot search in Yuncheng.

The video of that male model being secretly filmed can be seen everywhere, including on Douyin, Xiaodigua, and even Manjiao.

Although Qin Song remained calm and composed throughout the video, and denied ever soliciting male models for free, the original owner's numerous scandals meant that people online simply didn't believe her.

She's like a wicked woman who's done all sorts of evil deeds; once she's trending on social media, she's been relentlessly criticized.

Joker: [Holy crap, why is Qin Song causing trouble again? When will she ever stop?]

Get My Freedom: [I'm speechless. She's almost ruined Yuncheng's reputation all by herself. Can't this bitch just get lost?]

May God bless her with mountains of gold and silver: [This Qin Song is really something else. She went to a male prostitute while pregnant, and to make matters worse, she didn't pay her! Did Pei Xingzhi get a cut in the brain from Pinduoduo? How can he tolerate this and not divorce her?]

Old Man's Boy: [Hahahaha, does Pei Xingzhi have a cuckold fetish? His wife has slept with a thousand women, and he's not even sure if the child is his own. His life is like this, yet he still wants that rotten woman! I'm impressed, utterly impressed!]

Xiao Chongshan: [Pei Xingzhi is also a pitiful person. If you want to criticize someone, criticize Qin Song instead. This woman's existence is a complete smear on women, so I suggest she pack up here and jump off a building.]

Qin Song sat on the sofa in the living room, calmly browsing the comments that were insulting him.

"Xiao Song." Pei Xingzhi couldn't stand it anymore and snatched her phone away. "The more you look at it, the more upset you'll feel."

"...I'm not feeling unwell." Qin Song looked at him calmly, his face showing no sign of lying.

Pei Xingzhi's brows furrowed deeply, and his eyes were filled with a heavy heartache as he looked at her.

"Xiao Song, don't try to be tough in front of me."

"...I'm not putting on a brave face!" Qin Song raised his voice to emphasize, "I'm really not upset, and I don't care at all. On the contrary, I'm quite happy that they're scolding me so passionately."

"...Happy?!" Pei Xingzhi's expression cracked as if he had heard something outrageous. "Xiao Song, why are you happy? Are you stupid?"

"No." Qin Song was amused by his silly look and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek.

“I have something important to do. The more they criticize me now, the more traffic they bring me, which will make it easier and less strenuous for me to do my work.”

"What are you going to do?" Pei Xingzhi was far from at ease.

Qin Song raised an eyebrow, feigning mystery: "This matter is a secret for now, and I can't tell you yet. Just wait for my good news."

Pei Xingzhi's brows furrowed more and more, but he couldn't calm down at all.

"Xiao Song." He grabbed Qin Song's hand, the force of which clearly expressed his unwillingness.

“I am your husband. You must tell me what you are going to do. I will not stop you. I just want to make sure you are safe.”

Qin Song ignored the pain Pei Xingzhi was in and smiled slightly at him: "Pei Xingzhi, I will definitely tell you about this, but not now. I admit that I have kept many things from you, but it was all out of necessity."

"Many things, once the best opportunity to speak has passed, are difficult to say again. In my opinion, the best opportunity for me to be honest with you has not yet come. So please wait a little longer, okay?"

"..."

Pei Xingzhi did not answer, but his eyes were slowly filled with disappointment.

Qin Song: "These things all started because of me, and you've been dragged into this mess all along. Now that I've decided to resolve this, I can't let you get involved anymore. Just focus on recovering and working hard, and I'll give you a satisfactory explanation."

"I don't want to explain." Pei Xingzhi released her hand, and for the first time, he was genuinely angry with her.

"Xiao Song, I'm your husband. No matter how troublesome or upsetting things are, I believe I should face them with you. Why do you insist on keeping it from me?"

Qin Song: "It's not that I want to hide it from you, I just haven't found the opportunity to be honest with you. I... I don't know how to tell you."

"If you don't know how to say it, then just say whatever comes to mind." Pei Xingzhi suppressed all his emotions, even trying his best to hide the intense heartache in his eyes.

But he didn't do this to force himself not to feel sorry for Qin Song; he wanted to put pressure on Qin Song by showing his fiercest side so that Qin Song would talk to him.

Even if you speak incoherently, even if I can't understand what you're saying at all, I still hope you can say it. I just want you to say it.

"I..." Qin Song was completely unprepared. Pei Xingzhi wanted her to talk now, and she really didn't know where to begin.

How will she explain her sudden talent for jewelry design? And how will she explain her deal with Shen Yanhui?

The basis of her deal with Shen Yanhui was that they both knew each other's identities as time-traveling women, while Pei Xingzhi did not.

Her identity is bound to bring many questions, but she hasn't found an excuse to cover it up yet.

Moreover, Pei Xingzhi is a person with a very strong sense of principle. If he knew that she needed to pretend to befriend Lu Yibai or Shen Yanhui in order to get certain things, he would definitely not agree to it.

He loathed those two people; just imagining Qin Song's attempts to befriend them was enough to make him internally scream. He might not blame Qin Song, but he would definitely blame himself for being useless.

But Qin Song had to do it. She wanted to clear her name and seek justice for Pei Xingzhi.

She had to do it!

However, she couldn't resolve Pei Xingzhi's inner turmoil, so she could only act first and ask for his permission later, attempting to alleviate Pei Xingzhi's distress with the pleasure of successful revenge.

"Xiao Song, are you really not going to tell me now?" Pei Xingzhi asked her one last time when she remained silent.

She looked into Pei Xingzhi's eyes, her lips opening and closing several times, but she couldn't utter a single word.

She has been lying since the moment she came into this world. Now that she is asked to explain and confess, she can only make up more lies to overturn the previous lies.

She has also tried to fabricate some evidence to prove herself, but she hasn't obtained that evidence yet, so she doesn't dare to speak up.

Moreover, since the matter had not yet been accomplished, she still needed to use Lu Yibai, and she could not let Pei Xingzhi know that she was seeing Lu Yibai at this time.

Her relationship with Lu Yibai is sensitive; only the final outcome can prove her innocence in deliberately getting close to him.

She really can't say it right now. Otherwise, things might get even worse.

Pei Xingzhi has his bottom line, and she has her own stubbornness.

"..."

Silence spoke volumes about her answer.

“Okay.” Pei Xingzhi understood her answer.

He stood up from the sofa, leaning on his cane, and walked straight toward the door.

"Since you don't want to tell me, I will respect your privacy. But Xiaosong, I thought I was qualified to share your hardships, but reality tells me that you don't seem to need me very much."

“You can do everything yourself, no matter how big the problem is. I can’t even provide you with emotional support.”
