Chapter 347: His Blessings
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sang Qianqian noticed that his expression was off. “What’s wrong, Brother?”
Sang Minglang shook his head, but his gaze was fixed on Ruan Xiaoshuang, who was being supported by Song Yu as she slowly walked forward. His eyes were deep and complicated.
Sang Minglang ate in silence, almost not speaking much, only occasionally glancing at Ruan Xiaoshuang thoughtfully.
On the other hand, Song Yu was in a good mood and talked a lot about Ruan Xiaoshuang. For example, he talked about how he saved her and how they went from strangers to acquaintances.
“Actually, Shuangshuang already knew my intentions.”
Song Yu looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang with a smile. “She always declines my feelings, saying that her inability to see will only cause me trouble. Now that her eyes will soon recover, she can’t find a reason to reject me anymore.”
Sang Minglang looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang meaningfully, “So, you’re still not husband and wife?”
“We’re almost there,”
Ruan Xiaoshuang suddenly said, “The wedding is already in preparation.”
Song Yu was stunned, and then he held Ruan Xiaoshuang’s hand ecstatically. “Shuangshuang, are you serious?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled. “Didn’t you say that everything is ready and you’re just waiting for my reply?”
“Of course, of course!”
Song Yu was so excited that he almost couldn’t speak. “Shuangshuang, I’m so happy!”
Previously, Song Yu had confessed to Ruan Xiaoshuang and even bought a ring. He said that as long as Ruan Xiaoshuang agreed, they could immediately go and get their marriage certificate. He had even prepared everything for the wedding.
At that time, Ruan Xiaoshuang naturally refused. Song Yu originally thought that their relationship would only progress further after Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes recovered.
However, this surprise came so suddenly.
Sang Minglang said indifferently, “Marriage is a major event in life. There’s no need to rush it. You can wait until your eyes have recovered.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was still smiling. “Ah Yu and I have the same pursuit for the future. Since the wedding is going to be held sooner or later, we might as well have it earlier.”
Sang Minglang looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang firmly, “What are you and Song Yu’s goals for the future?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said calmly, “I’ll go to many places with the person I love and see many sights. I’ll spend the rest of my life with him in an ordinary and peaceful corner of a city that no one knows.”
Sang Minglang’s eyes were extremely dark.
Many years ago, when he and Ruan Xiaoshuang were still young and loved each other to the point that they regarded each other as their everything and life, Sang Minglang had proposed to her when they were on a trip. Ruan Xiaoshuang was so happy that she cried and agreed.
They hugged each other at the top of the mountain and watched the sunset. At that time, Ruan Xiaoshuang leaned in his arms and said longingly, “When we get married, we’ll go to many places and see many sceneries together. We’ll spend the rest of our lives in an ordinary and quiet corner of a city.”
She also said that she wanted to have a child with Sang Minglang. “One is enough. Then, we can bring her to many places and see many sights. I want her to live freely from a young age. Even if we don’t have much money, even if she turns out ordinary in the future, it doesn’t matter. As long as our family is happy…”
At that time, Sang Minglang did not know Ruan Xiaoshuang’s ident.i.ty, nor did he know why Ruan Xiaoshuang would have such a deep obsession with freedom and ordinary life.
He smiled lovingly and pinched Ruan Xiaoshuang’s face. “Docs your husband look like a poor person? I won’t let you and our future child live a hard life.”
They had agreed to register their marriage after the trip.
However, when he went back, Ruan Xiaoshuang left without saying goodbye. He looked for her like crazy, but she had cut off all contact and completely disappeared from his life.
Sang Minglang stared at Ruan Xiaoshuang, his expression unreadable. “Are you sure that Song Yu really has the same life goals as you and can fulfill your wishes?”
Sang Qianqian’s head almost exploded when she heard that. She quickly said, “That’s Sister Xiaoshuang and Mr. Song’s business. Brother, don’t worry about it.”
She held her wine gla.s.s and tugged at Sang Minglang’s clothes under the table, “Sister Xiaoshuang and Mr. Song are about to get married. Hurry up and come give a toast to wish them well.”
Sang Minglang remained unmoved and said indifferently, “I just think that marriage is not child’s play. Miss Ruan, you need to be clear on whether you married Mr. Song out of love or out of grat.i.tude for him saving your life.”
Sang Qianqian sucked in a breath of cold air. This was too much. What was her brother trying to do?
Song Yu’s expression was a little awkward, but he didn’t say anything. He just looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang with some apprehension and antic.i.p.ation, waiting for Ruan Xiaoshuang to answer.
“I’m afraid that after you learned that Sister Xiaoshuang is still alive, you’re a little confused from concern, right? Sister Xiaoshuang and Mr. Song have lived together for more than half a year. How could she not have already made a decision?”
Sang Qianqian forced out a smile, trying to save her brother a little. “Since Sister Xiaoshuang has already chosen Mr. Song, she naturally has her reasons. Brother, you don’t have to worry about it.”
However, Sang Minglang still wanted to get to the bottom of it. “We were friends, after all. I still want to hear Miss Ruan’s reason for choosing Mr. Song.”
Sang Qianqian was also convinced by her brother. “Sister Xiaoshuang, Mr. Song, my brother’s past relationships have always been particularly bad. He’s still single, so he can’t bear to see others happy. Just ignore him.”
Sang Minglang was speechless.
“It’s okay. Your brother is right. We were friends. It’s normal for him to care about me.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s voice was still gentle, but there was a touch of alienation in her expression. “Actually, the reason is not complicated. I was born in the Ruan family, and I was taught to be up to standard since I was a child. I couldn’t make a single mistake. Before I went abroad to study, I never had the final say on where I went every day, so I never had any big wishes. I just hoped to be able to live an ordinary and comfortable life with my future partner.”
She said softly, “I once met such a person, but unfortunately, I accidentally lost him. I felt sad for many years because I missed him. Now that I’ve been reincarnated, I’ve let go of the past. It’s rare that I’ve met Ah Yu, who’s willing to let go of everything to accompany me in the life I want. I have no reason not to cherish him.”
“Shuangshuang,” Song Yu was excited and his eyes were full of gentleness. He held Ruan Xiaoshuang’s hand tightly and said, “I won’t let you down.”
Sang Minglang was silent for a long time, before slowly raising his cup. “I wish you all the best.”
When Song Yu and Ruan Xiaoshuang got into the car and left, Sang Qianqian immediately stopped smiling. “Brother, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to let Sister Xiaoshuang down? Is this what you mean? Now that she has finally found her happiness, shouldn’t you be congratulating her? Why did you have to say so many things that you shouldn’t have? Were you even being sincere?”
At this moment, she was very dissatisfied with Sang Minglang. She said everything that she should say and should not say, “You said it yourself in the past. There’s too much of a gap between you and Sister Xiaoshuang. It’s impossible for you two to be together again. Even if you still like Sister Xiaoshuang, I advise you to look at her from a distance, respect her, and give her your blessings.. Don’t easily destroy her hard-won happiness!”
