Chapter 545: Chapter 585: From Now On, I Am Yours (2nd Update)

Seeing this scene, Fang Yi was first startled, then vaguely understood the gist of the situation.

Fang Yi, pretending to know nothing, walked in with big steps and greeted, "Hi!"

Song Hongye also said, "Hi."

Fang Yi said, "What a coincidence."

Song Hongye, expressionless, said, "I think it’s a coincidence too."

Too calm, this calmness was almost infuriating.

Expressionlessly, Song Hongye picked up a bottle of white liquor from the table and poured it into a glass in front of her. Unfortunately, only a little came out. Fang Yi glanced unintentionally and noticed three or four empty bottles of white liquor on the table, obviously empty.

Looking further, he saw Rong Quan, who had collapsed on the table, deeply asleep. Fang Yi now truly understood. Previously, he had set a rule for Rong Quan, forbidding him from drugging Song Hongye, so it seems Rong Quan could only compete with Song Hongye by drinking, perhaps hoping to get her drunk that way.

However, looking at Song Hongye, there were just two patches of red on her tender cheeks, no sign of drunkenness.

This woman had an extraordinary tolerance for alcohol!

Song Hongye drank the little bit of white liquor in one go, put the glass on the table, and, intentionally or not, made a loud bang with the glass that startled Fang Yi.

"Aren’t you going to say something?" Song Hongye said.

"Uh... quite the coincidence," Fang Yi said.

"You already said that," Song Hongye slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes, her gaze as if seeing right through him, "Aren’t you going to mention why you set a trap for me?"

Fang Yi looked completely baffled, "What trap? I don’t understand what you’re talking about." He would never admit it.

Song Hongye’s narrowed eyes suddenly opened, shooting a chilling glare. She scoffed, "Pretend, keep pretending!"

Fang Yi, feigning ignorance, said, "What am I pretending now, Song Hongye? Don’t slander me."

Hmph, I just won’t admit it!

Watching Fang Yi stubbornly denying it, Song Hongye inwardly scoffed repeatedly. Such thick skin, even at this moment, he remained composed. It really exceeded her expectations.

To sum it up in one sentence: Seen shameless, but never seen someone this shameless.

"Really, no need to pretend anymore. Rong Quan just now tried to get me drunk, but his tolerance failed him, and he ended up drunk himself. And you know, people tend to spill some truths when they’re drunk."

Song Hongye looked at Fang Yi, her lips curling into a slight smile.

"So you knew all along."

"Of course I knew. But you have quite the thick skin, getting exposed and yet not even blushing," Song Hongye stood up and slowly approached Fang Yi.

"If I didn’t have a thick skin, I wouldn’t be able to deal with you," Fang Yi said.

Song Hongye stared straight at Fang Yi, her eyes so expressive as if they could speak. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Rong Quan confessed while drunk, saying you arranged for him to lure me here intentionally, along with Lin Xueru. I suppose you have already visited Lin Xueru and persuaded her as well."

"Not unworthy of being the Song Family’s daughter, impressive," Fang Yi said.

"Let’s not waste words then. Speak directly," Song Hongye said. "You purposely asked me to come here surely for a reason. Speak your purpose."

Fang Yi suddenly sighed, "You are straightforward. I won’t beat around the bush. I just want to ask you, do you want to monopolize the Rong Group for yourself, or do you intend to have the Rong Group align with the Song Family? I want the truth."

"Fine! I’ll tell the truth!" Song Hongye declared confidently, "I, Song Hongye, am different from other women from birth. I was born ambitious. Having the Rong Group align with the Song Family is just a guise. If possible, I want to take down the Rong Group completely, make it stronger and larger, eventually go public, and create a legend of Song Hongye."

Her words carried passion, anticipation, and vision, like a man hopeful for success. She had ambitions!

There was a moment of utter silence in the room, and Fang Yi did not rush to reply.

Fang Yi, with his hands behind his back, walked around the room. Suddenly, he looked toward Song Hongye and asked, "If I give you the Rong Group, what can I gain?"

"... Me!"

It seemed Song Hongye had made some decision, stating it firmly.

"You?"

"Yes, me!" Song Hongye met Fang Yi’s puzzled gaze and said, "As long as you give the Rong Group to me, I, Song Hongye, will give myself to you! You are the man chosen by Song Hongye; giving myself to you won’t put me at a loss."

Fang Yi was somewhat perplexed and, after a moment’s thought, asked, "Are you saying you’ll exchange the Rong Group for your body?"

Song Hongye nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

Fang Yi was speechless, then sighed, "Among all the women I’ve met, you are the boldest."

"It’s not boldness, it’s prioritizing interests!" Song Hongye said seriously.

Fang Yi calmly said, "I only know that some capitalists would risk their lives for two hundred percent of the profit, mostly those who deal in pharmaceuticals. I really didn’t expect you, the golden daughter of the Song Family, would offer yourself to me for the Rong Group. It really surprises me."

The implication was clear: he really wanted to understand what she was thinking.

Even though Fang Yi had encountered many women of various types, he realized he couldn’t decipher Song Hongye’s thoughts.

"It doesn’t matter what I think. I’ve given my reason. The Rong Group, will you... give it to me?"

"Since you’ve put it this way, if I don’t give you the Rong Group, it would just show that I’m too petty," Fang Yi sighed.

"Good, then it’s settled," Song Hongye quickly said, as if fearing Fang Yi might change his mind.

Actually, Song Hongye was overthinking it. Fang Yi had no intention of backing out. His original intention was to collaborate with Song Hongye to have the Rong Group align with the Song Family. If he had to choose between Song Hongye and Lin Xue, he would choose Song Hongye.

Not for any other reason, but because Fang Yi was currently opposing Elder Lin and Lin Xue was too cunning. From any perspective, collaborating with Song Hongye was the wisest choice.

Song Hongye secretly sighed in relief and gazed at Fang Yi. Suddenly, she slowly stepped closer to him.

A light fragrance wafted over, intoxicating Fang Yi. Curiously, he asked, "What is it, you have more to say?"

Song Hongye said, "I’m going to fulfill my promise. From now on, I belong to you. Come."

With that, Song Hongye’s face showed resolve, and she closed her eyes as if walking to her execution.
