Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 136

At Song Linchuan's home.

Jiang Han and Zhou Wei worked together to support Song Linchuan into the bedroom.

After putting him on the bed, Song Linchuan rolled over, finally letting go of Zhou Wei's hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Han couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Letting go at this time, even if waiting a little longer until he left before letting go, Zhou Wei would have naturally stayed.

However, Jiang Han was Jiang Han. At this time, he would never easily let Zhou Wei leave.

He didn't even hesitate to bring out his own father to be the hero saving the beauty. What else could he not say?

"Zhou Wei, are you free tonight? Could you do me a favor and stay here to take care of Linchuan? I don't feel at ease leaving a drunk person alone." Jiang Han said.

Zhou Wei was startled. She should stay?

That didn't seem appropriate.

Jiang Han shrugged and said awkwardly, "To be honest with you, over these years, he has always been unwilling to reveal anything about his family background. Therefore, I have to go back and deal with this matter later."

Of course, Zhou Wei also noticed this point. In all these years in their social circle, no one had ever talked about Song Linchuan's family background. She had guessed that he deliberately concealed it.

Indeed, he was never an ostentatious person to begin with. Back in their school days, that was how he was too. It was only by a chance opportunity that she came to know about it.

And that was why Zhou Wei felt even more guilty.

Before leaving, Jiang Han specially went nearby to buy some hangover medicine and honey to bring over.

In the kitchen, Zhou Wei made a cup of honey water, then took the hangover medicine into the bedroom.

She put the things in her hands on the bedside table, then stood at the bedside and gently nudged Song Linchuan, "Linchuan, get up and drink some honey water before going back to sleep."

Song Linchuan made some murmuring sounds before slowly opening his eyes.

But in his drunken state right now, his whole person was still groggy. It took him quite a while before he could slowly make out the face of the person before him.

The next second, he grabbed Zhou Wei's hand, "Zhou...Zhou Wei, why are you here?"

Zhou Wei gently explained, "You were drunk. I brought you back."

After saying that, she wanted to pull her hand out to get the honey water and hangover medicine, wanting to make use of this time while he was awake to first make him take them.

But Song Linchuan clearly had no intention of letting go. Feeling her about to break free, he hurriedly gripped a little tighter.

"Don't, don't let go!" He threw a tantrum like a child. Zhou Wei could only gently persuade, "Take the medicine first, then you can hold my hand after taking it, okay?"

Song Linchuan tilted his head, seemingly trying hard to think for a while, before heavily nodding.

Zhou Wei had never seen such a silly side of Song Linchuan before. She directly couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Alright, come, let's drink some honey water first."

Her voice unintentionally softened somewhat, as if she was really coaxing a child.

Seeing Zhou Wei turn to get the water, Song Linchuan struggled to try sitting up.

When Zhou Wei turned back around, she hurriedly used her other free hand to support him.

After some effort from both of them, Song Linchuan finally sat up. Zhou Wei fed him some honey water, and took the chance to make him take the hangover medicine too.

After briefly sobering up for a while, Song Linchuan's drunken state very quickly came back.

Zhou Wei supported him to lie back down properly.

Song Linchuan had been very cooperative the entire time, until Zhou Wei told him to close his eyes, yet he was unwilling no matter what.

"Zhou Wei, I, I have something I want to say to you." He said.

Zhou Wei sat at the edge of the bed and gently coaxed, "Alright, go ahead, I'm listening."

Song Linchuan blinked and stared blankly at her. His voice carried the hoarseness unique to those drunk, "What should I do? I still really like you."

Zhou Wei's mind exploded with a 'boom'.

For a moment, she suddenly couldn't distinguish whether Song Linchuan was really drunk or actually sober.

But when she looked into his blurry eyes again, she confirmed that Song Linchuan really was drunk.

I still really like you...

Zhou Wei's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, beating faster and faster.

Just like that afternoon seven years ago, in the small grove beside their school, when Song Linchuan said 'I like you'.

All these years, even she herself didn't know, how did she muster the courage to reject him back then?

When in her heart, she was so willing.

Under the dim yellow light, the two silently looked at each other, as if across the span of seven years.

The next second, Zhou Wei could no longer control herself. She directly leaned down and kissed Song Linchuan's lips...

The next morning, Song Linchuan woke up from his drunken stupor.

The first feeling was a splitting headache.

Song Linchuan had one good thing about drinking. He wouldn't make trouble when drunk, and never had blackouts.

He sat up in bed rubbing his temples, and his thoughts also gradually came back. That cup of baijiu last night really was unrestrained. At that time, it was also to show sincerity that he had poured a full cup.

If he had known he would still end up flattering that old man of his in the end, he wouldn't have drank that cup. It really was suffering for nothing.

He had already been unable to hold on in the private room, he remembered he had persisted until getting outside. He remembered it was Zhou Wei who supported him, and after that he didn't have much awareness.

As for how he got back, Song Linchuan thought for quite a while before piecing it together.

It should have been Jiang Han who sent him back. He vaguely remembered him asking for the door passcode.

Wait...

Song Linchuan suddenly sat up straight. He remembered!

The next second, he got out of bed without even putting on his slippers, rushing out of the bedroom in a flurry.

After getting to the living room, Song Linchuan searched all around but couldn't find Zhou Wei's figure anywhere. His heart inevitably sank.

So she had left while he was still sleeping?

Just then, there was suddenly the sound of the password lock opening from outside the door.

The door opened, and Zhou Wei happened to walk in carrying breakfast.

The two's eyes met.

Song Linchuan looked straight at her, "You didn't leave?"

Zhou Wei was startled for a moment, then shook her head and replied, "I thought you were about to wake up, so I went out to buy some breakfast to bring back."

After saying that, she carried the breakfast towards the dining table, avoiding Song Linchuan's gaze the entire time, seemingly feeling guilty about something.

Song Linchuan paused for a moment, then quickly walked over and grabbed Zhou Wei's hand, forcing her to look at him.

Zhou Wei stammered a little, "Wha-what is it?"

Song Linchuan silently looked at her for a few seconds and said, "I remember everything that happened last night, I didn't black out."

"Why did you kiss me?"

Zhou Wei let out a yelp, and instantly became somewhat at a loss.

She had thought he wouldn't remember, after all, he had passed out not long after.

She didn't expect him to catch her completely off guard.

But this time, Song Linchuan didn't intend to let her off. "Didn't you say we were just friends? So why did you kiss me?"

Zhou Wei pursed her lips, unable to speak.

Song Linchuan dazedly looked at her, his tone suddenly softening a bit, "So, are you planning to kiss and run now?"

"Or is this how you treat every platonic friend of the opposite sex?"

Zhou Wei hurriedly shook her head in denial, "I don't!"

How could she possibly do this with ordinary platonic opposite sex friends, she wasn't crazy.

Song Linchuan lightly nodded his head, "So, what now?"

After saying that, he gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "You have to give me an explanation for this matter."

Zhou Wei's eyelashes lowered as she stared at her toes without speaking.

Give him an explanation?

She was very clear what kind of explanation Song Linchuan wanted.

But could she really give it?

For a time, Zhou Wei was also uncertain. Song Linchuan didn't seem to be in a hurry either, just standing there in confrontation with her like this.

After who knows how long.

Zhou Wei took a deep breath, and suddenly looked up at him, "If I say, let's only date, and not talk about the future, could you accept that?"

Upon hearing this, Song Linchuan's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his expression was clearly not very good.

Seeing his reaction, Zhou Wei involuntarily started mocking herself in her heart.

See, it was her wishful thinking.

However, just when she was about to say 'then let's just forget it', Song Linchuan unexpectedly spoke up before her.

"Alright, I agree!"

Just dating, not talking about the future.

What this sentence implied, both of them knew clearly in their hearts.

When Zhou Wei proposed this request, she also felt it was rather absurd. But she really didn't expect that Song Linchuan would actually agree.

From then on, the two really started dating with the status of boyfriend and girlfriend.

She knew he was an extremely proud man. Yet under no reason whatsoever, he had just agreed like this.

For this, Zhou Wei was actually anxious for a period of time afterwards. She was very afraid Song Linchuan would continue questioning her afterwards.

But unexpectedly, in the days that followed, it was as if nothing had ever happened.

If she didn't say, he wouldn't ask.

Their relationship was not affected at all because of this. There were no barriers or anything like that between them.

The two really started dating seriously, no different from any other couple.

Gradually, even Zhou Wei herself forgot about the agreement she had originally proposed.

Days went by, one year, two years, three years...

Their relationship went on quietly, without making it public or meeting each other's families.

They really kept the dating between just the two of them.

Zhou Wei often felt that this kind of status was actually quite good.

But she didn't know when it started, she who had said to just date and not talk about the future, began to feel anxious.

Maybe it was because the bond between them was getting deeper and deeper, or maybe it was because they were getting older.

But to be precise, the fuse to Zhou Wei's unease was after Song Anan got married.

At that time, she saw a comment online with a lot of likes that said, Song Linchuan and Pei Kuang were the same age and not young anymore. Since his aunt got married, his family must be urging him.

Zhou Wei didn't know if Song Linchuan's family was urging her, because he never mentioned it in front of her.

But it was very likely they were urging him.

Zhou Wei admitted that when she first proposed "just dating, not talking about the future," she really thought they would break up.

At that time, she felt that Song Linchuan's feelings for her were just a longing from his youth, and perhaps when they really got together, they would find that they didn't like each other that much after all.

However, none of this happened after they got together.

Song Linchuan treated her better and better, fulfilling all her fantasies about a boyfriend.

He would notice and come to her side first thing when she was in a bad mood, prepare surprises for her on every memorable day, and remember all her preferences and habits...

She held onto him more and more.

Sometimes just thinking that there would be a day when they parted ways, Zhou Wei's heart would ache uncontrollably.

She also became more and more uneasy.

Song Linchuan had always been easygoing, but when it came to Zhou Wei, he was very attentive.

Soon, he noticed Zhou Wei's unease and probed to find out the reason.

In Song Linchuan's opinion, it was fine to date for a lifetime.

As long as it was just the two of them, even without the formality of marriage, he was still confident that he could spend his whole life with her.

But now this form made Zhou Wei uneasy, which meant he had to do something about it.

That day, Song Linchuan went to visit Zhou Wei on set.

After dinner, they took a walk around and went straight back to the hotel.

But as soon as they got in the door, Song Linchuan suddenly grabbed Zhou Wei's hand, then took out a ring he had prepared in advance from his pocket, and knelt down on one knee.

"Weiwei, will you marry me?"

Zhou Wei was stunned. She really didn't expect Song Linchuan to propose so suddenly.

After all, they had this agreement between them.

She looked at the ring in Song Linchuan's hand, and a flash of longing appeared in her eyes, "But, we agreed back then..."

Song Linchuan smiled and held her hand, "Yeah, we did agree back then, but now I regret it."

Zhou Wei struggled inwardly.

Song Linchuan looked at her and said lightly, "I've known the reason for a while now."

Zhou Wei was startled, seemingly realizing something, with a trace of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

Song Linchuan went on, "Not long after we got together, I asked Sister Jiang, and she told me everything."

Zhou Wei opened her mouth, "Then why did you..."

Song Linchuan shook his head at her, "I don't care about that."

In fact, whether they had children or not, he really didn't care that much.

But Zhou Wei shook her head, "But Linchuan, marriage is not just between two people. It involves both families. We..."

Song Linchuan interrupted her, "All these years, I know what you intended at the beginning. I didn't try to persuade you or make any promises. But isn't it enough proof now?"

Zhou Wei couldn't retort.

"From when I started liking you until now, it's been fourteen years," Song Linchuan paused, then said plainly and surely, "Other than you, I can't love anyone else."

At first Zhou Wei thought he was so persistent because of the love of his youth and the fact that he couldn't obtain her. But only Song Linchuan himself knew that his persistence was solely because of her as a person.

That first stir of feelings in his youth was the beginning, and the only one.

The space in his heart could no longer accommodate anyone else but her.

Zhou Wei was stunned, and her eyes suddenly turned misty.

She admitted that in this relationship, she had always been the more conservative one. Not like Song Linchuan, who had laid himself bare before her from the start, seeming to never fear getting hurt.

As if he was never afraid.

Whenever she shrank back, he was always able to pull her back out appropriately.

At the same time, he always considered her feelings.

Like this time, he didn't prepare a grand proposal, not because he found it troublesome or unimportant, but because of her.

He knew all her concerns, so he chose to lay his heart open on an ordinary night like this, frank and ardent.

And his line "I can't love anyone else" brought down all of Zhou Wei's defenses.

It was this line that gave her the courage to disregard everything.

At least, for him, she would also disregard everything once, no matter how many difficulties lay ahead. Together they would overcome them.

Zhou Wei looked at the ring in Song Linchuan's hand, and her eyes brimmed with tears.

She slowly stretched out her right hand, her voice involuntarily choking up a little.

"Okay, I accept."
