Chapter 1107: Chapter 1130: Forced Melons Are Not Sweet

"I thought you would resent me," Jun Mochan said with a bitter smile.

Facing such matters, even though he was astute, he found them too overwhelming to handle.

If he was too ruthless, he feared he would hurt his brother’s feelings; not ruthless enough, and he worried his adversary might return with a vengeance, leaving him to fall into trouble again.

It was bearable when it concerned only him, but he dreaded dragging Ye Ranran into it.

"This matter wasn’t really your fault, and honestly, if you hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t have blamed you at all," everything was a choice made by Song Yue.

Naturally, taking the blame was also his choice, and it was unrelated to anyone else.

"You must have guessed that I couldn’t bear it, right?"

Gu Heng laughed but did not argue.

"Seriously, why did you happen to be there that day?" If it weren’t for that, he really wouldn’t have been able to take the fall.

If just anyone would do, the Song Family would have found someone long ago; why wait until now?

"I’m sure you’ve heard about my sister’s situation. I’ve taken some time off recently to come and see her, and I also planned to meet Song Yue. I happened to learn that she went to the villa, and I was worried something might happen, so I followed her there."

He hadn’t expected that an incident would truly occur.

"At that moment, I was hiding in the shadows and didn’t see her. I even let out a sigh of relief, but then..." Gu Heng gave a bitter smile, "You don’t blame me, do you?"

"I don’t." The struggle between the Jun and Song families was something outsiders did not want to get involved in.

Moreover, Gu Heng’s position was rather awkward. If he wanted a happy ending with Song Yue in the future, he naturally couldn’t get too close to the Jun family.

In fact, Gu Heng’s testimony was filled with doubts, but his coincidental presence was enough; the rest would naturally be glossed over by the Jun and Song families.

With neither family pursuing the matter, who else would bother to meddle?

"No matter what, I have to thank you," Gu Heng poured another glass of wine.

"You have more than this to thank me for," Jun Mochan said, glancing at the half-full glass.

"Oh, how so?" Gu Heng straightened his expression, ready to listen attentively.

"Haven’t you always liked Song Yue? What if I helped you succeed in this arranged marriage?" Jun Mochan suggested, his tone remaining unchanged, as though discussing the most ordinary matter.

After a moment’s thought, Gu Heng shook his head and said, "That’s not right."

He knew well that Song Yue didn’t love him; forcibly marrying her would inevitably create a resentful couple.

That was a scenario he definitely did not want to see.

Those who could become Jun Mochan’s confidants were certainly of good nature. Gu Heng’s concerns, he could guess one or two of them: "After something like this, do you truly think anyone else would dare to marry her Song Yue?"

She herself was heedless of danger, causing trouble was bad enough, yet her family had to clean up after her. If it dragged down the entire family and undermined its foundation, she would have no face to meet the ancestors in the afterlife.

Which large family didn’t value its honor above all? If marrying Song Yue could add glory, they would pursue her with all their might.

But if she were a ticking time bomb, everyone would politely decline.

"Really?" Gu Heng felt Jun Mochan was exaggerating. As long as Song Yue stayed out of trouble and behaved, with the Song family’s reputation, weren’t there plenty who would want to marry her?

"If truly no one dares, would you be willing to marry her?" Jun Mochan insisted on getting an answer.

"I..." Gu Heng still hesitated, "You know what I’m hesitant about."

If Song Yue reciprocated his feelings, he would marry her despite all obstacles.

"You know, I’m not the kind of person to force others, and a melon twisted off its vine isn’t sweet." He didn’t want to trap two people in a marriage.
