Chapter 147: Secretary In Name
Translator: _Min_
Seeing Jiang Yue struggle so much, Song Ling reluctantly agreed for the moment.
He took some gauze from the medical kit to dress her wounds. As he saw the scars on Jiang Yue’s wrist, his movements became noticeably gentler.
Jiang Yue felt a glimmer of hope ignite within her when she noticed this. Could it be that Song Ling still had feelings for her? Would he believe her words?
Jiang Yue looked up at Song Ling and said, “Brother Song Ling, please believe me. The person in the wedding video was edited to frame me. If you don’t believe me, 1 have no reason to go on living…”
Song Ling’s gaze toward Jiang Yue grew increasingly complicated.
He wasn’t the type to care about someone’s past. Even if the person in the video was Jiang Yue, he had never thought about canceling the wedding. What he truly minded were the lies.
Song Ling couldn’t understand why Jiang Yue would still want to deceive him, even now.
Seeing Song Ling remain silent and just staring at her, Jiang Yue felt increasingly anxious. She quickly said, “In that case, I really don’t want to live anymore.”
As the words left her mouth, Jiang Yue ripped off the gauze on her wrist and pressed hard, causing the previously staunched blood to spurt out again.
Snapping back to reality, Song Ling hastily pulled Jiang Yue’s hand away and said in a low voice, “Calm down!”
Jiang Yue’s hand was held tightly, immobilizing her. Regaining her composure, she looked at Song Ling with pitiable eyes.
Before Jiang Yue could speak, Song Ling cut her off, “1 won’t marry you.”
Jiang Yue was stunned. As she tried to struggle, Song Ling, who had anticipated her actions, held her tightly.
Song Ling stared at Jiang Yue for a long moment before saying, “You shouldn’t gamble with your life. And I’ve noticed that you’ve changed; you’re not the strong girl you used to be.”
Jiang Yue tensed, lowering her eyes to hide her unease. She whispered, “People change as they grow up.”
Song Ling didn’t deny it, simply muttering, “Mhmm.”
Jiang Yue finally calmed down and looked up at Song Ling. “Even if I’ve changed, it doesn’t negate the fact that I once saved you. And you promised me something. But you won’t marry me.”
Song Ling responded earnestly, “Mhmm.”
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yue said, “If you won’t marry me, that’s fine. But your promise can’t be voided. You must agree to another request: let me be your secretary.”
Song Ling frowned deeply and immediately refused, “No!”
Jiang Yue asked, puzzled, “Why?”
Song Ling looked at Jiang Yue, not mincing his words, “Because the video of you from today has spread, and many people are aware of the incident. If you become the secretary at Song Corporation and accompany me to various important events, it could have a significant impact on the company.”
Jiang Yue’s face turned pale. “But you were the one who made the promise to me!”
After a long pause, Song Ling finally spoke, “You can be a secretary in name only at the company. Your salary will be paid as usual, but 1 expect you to tell me the truth and not deceive me with lies.”
Jiang Yue, who had been elated upon hearing the first part of Song Ling’s statement, was stunned by the latter half. He knew about her being the person in the video.
Realizing this, Jiang Yue’s mind raced, and she quickly assumed a pitiable appearance. “Song Ling, the person in the video is indeed me. But as you know, the entertainment circle is chaotic, and 1 don’t have a strong background there. Someone drugged me, and I acted as 1 did while I was not in my right senses.”
Jiang Yue cautiously looked up at Song Ling. Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, she continued, “I was afraid that you would regret it and despise me if you knew the truth, so 1 didn’t dare tell you.” contemporary romance
Song Ling didn’t immediately believe Jiang Yue’s words. After being deceived multiple times, he had become wary of her.
Seeing that Song Ling remained silent, Jiang Yue knew that he still didn’t believe her. She said, “Song Ling, everything I’ve told you is the truth. I’ve absolutely not lied to you.”
As soon as Jiang Yue finished speaking, she fainted onto the sofa.
Song Ling was taken aback. Seeing that the gauze on Jiang Yue’s wrist had been soaked through with blood, he scooped her up and raced downstairs to his car, driving her to the hospital.
In his haste, Song Ling failed to notice the flash of cameras from the bushes..
