What's Wrong With Rear-Ending Your Arranged Marriage Partner? He Totally Loves It - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: I’m Going to Love Him for a Lifetime!

A fleet of luxury cars lined up at the entrance of the high-end hotel. The grand charity gala was beginning, with local socialites, business elites, and film stars all in attendance. Most people attended these events to socialize and build connections.

Song Cun wasn’t a big fan of social events, but he was a brand ambassador, and attending the banquet was a requirement. His suit, cufflinks, and brooch were all high-end designer pieces. He felt like a mobile mannequin.

The hotel belonged to the Lin family, and Lin Wan was also at the banquet, standing obediently beside a cool and reserved alpha. Song Cun guessed this alpha must be the “devil brother” Lin Boqing that Lin Wan had mentioned. Lin Boqing was impeccably dressed and looked distinguished and elegant as he held a glass of champagne and chatted with guests.

Lin Wan stood beside him in a white suit. Perhaps the color suited his boyish face better; Song Cun thought he looked a bit more pleasant than he did in the dark suit last night. Maybe because he had just been lectured, Lin Wan was also holding a glass of champagne, awkwardly trying to socialize like his brother. Yesterday he was a child wearing adult’s clothes, and today he was a child learning to socialize like an adult.

Song Cun was afraid he couldn’t hold back his laughter in front of Lin Wan. He quickly turned and headed toward the auction hall before Lin Wan saw him. As he passed a dessert area, he heard someone call out his name. He turned and saw it was the director of his last movie. Song Cun politely greeted him.

The director was in a good mood. “I just ran into Xu Yan, and now I’ve run into you. Our crew is quite fated, haha.”

Song Cun was a bit stunned, not remembering who Xu Yan was at first. The director gave him a knowing look, teasing him playfully. “The actress who had the kiss scene with you on set. Did you forget her so quickly?” Only then did Song Cun remember a new actress. They hadn’t talked much outside of work, so he couldn’t recall her name.

The director seemed to like Song Cun and chatted with him for a few minutes. Song Cun wasn’t in the mood to socialize today, and fortunately, the director ran into another acquaintance and went to chat with them instead.

After the director left, Song Cun found a seat in the auction hall. One by one, items were being auctioned off. But Song Cun was distracted. He had no idea what was being sold. He kept taking out his phone to check it. Before he left, he had told 2099 to contact him if anything happened. Although he knew Qi Yan was just asleep, every time his phone vibrated, his heart tightened. He opened it to see messages from others.

Just as he was about to turn off the screen, a barrage of messages from Lin Wan came in. Picture after picture, ‘ding-ding-ding,’ so fast his phone could barely load them. Song Cun scanned them; they were all pictures of a model airplane from different angles. He scrolled to the bottom to see Lin Wan’s messages.

Lin Wan: “Silver Wing Ghost!!”

Lin Wan: “This is out of print!”

Lin Wan: “F*CK!”

Lin Wan had no interest in business, but he had a ton of hobbies, and collecting models was one of them. Song Cun raised his eyes to the stage; the auction item was indeed the fighter jet model Lin Wan had sent pictures of.

Down below, Lin Wan was excitedly holding his phone, still taking pictures. Lin Boqing sat beside him and pressed down on his hand. Lin Wan looked unhappy, pouting and staring at Lin Boqing resentfully. The next second, Lin Boqing raised his auction paddle and called out a number. Lin Wan froze for a second, then excitedly tried to hug Lin Boqing, but Lin Boqing agilely pushed him away. The move was dismissive, but his lips were curved in a slight smile.

Sitting in the back, Song Cun saw everything. He casually took a picture and sent it over. When the auction gavel struck, and the deal was done, Lin Wan finally opened his phone, eager to share his excitement with Song Cun. He saw the photo Song Cun had sent, and he turned his head to look back, spotting Song Cun sitting in a corner.

He quickly typed on his phone.

Lin Wan: “F*CK! You’re at the auction too?!”

Lin Wan: “Did you see?! Did you see?! My brother actually bid on it for me!!”

Lin Wan: “I take back what I said about him being a devil!! He’s an angel! I’m going to love him for a lifetime!!”

Money really is omnipotent. Yesterday he was calling him a devil, and today he’s an angel. But Lin Boqing really did deserve to be called an angel brother. He willingly gave up the family business, taught him every step of the way, and was generous with money.

[Lin Wan: “Don’t leave yet, I want to show you my new model!!”

Song Cun just wanted to sneak away as soon as possible.

Song Cun: “No thanks.”

Lin Wan: “???”

Lin Wan: “How can a guy not like models?!”

Lin Wan: “Song Cun, you’ve changed!”

Then came a flood of emojis. Song Cun didn’t bother to respond and turned off his phone.

He got up, intending to go to the outdoor terrace for some air and then quietly leave when no one was looking. As he reached a long corridor, he stopped at a corner. He suddenly saw the backs of two people. One of them happened to turn his face to the side. Song Cun, standing at the corner, saw the person’s face clearly.

His pupils contracted sharply…
