Chapter 190: Temporary Settlement

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Fan lowered her head and replied, “Give me some time. I can’t accept all of this happily right now. The Song Family wasn’t in my plans.”

Song Ting understood what she meant. Song Fan had never considered living with them when she returned this time; in fact, she had planned her future independently because of her deep disappointment in the Song Family.

Song Ting extended his arms and hugged Song Fan. “Don’t worry. From now on, no one will be able to hurt you. I will investigate the past matter and prove your innocence.”

This time, Song Fan didn’t push Song Ting away. Although she didn’t initiate a hug, her acceptance of his embrace conveyed her willingness to rebuild their relationship. This brought relief to Song Ting, as it indicated that his little sister’s heart was beginning to soften toward him.

After Song Ting left, Song Fan placed her hand on her chest and felt her heartbeat. “This is what you want as well, right?”

She was addressing Song Fan, the girl who had died in the countryside, wishing she could have experienced the love of her family.

From that point forward, Song Ting’s attitude toward Song Fan underwent a 180-degree change. He would bring her to the garden to bask in the sun each day and even read her fairy tales, all with a genuine smile on his face.

This transformation was bewildering to the servants of the Song Family. They could count on one hand the number of times they had seen Song Ting smile; most of the time, he wore a cold expression. Moreover, his smiles were now directed at the Eldest Miss, which added to their confusion.

The household staff knew about Song Ting and Song Fan’s previous conflicts and were aware that the Eldest Young Master harbored resentment toward the Eldest Miss. However, this sudden behavior change left them baffled.

Song Fan felt a bit exasperated by Song Ting’s desire to read her fairy tales. She said, “I’ve outgrown fairy tales by now.”

Song Ting flipped open a book and said, “But you used to love fairy tales when you were younger. You even cried when you heard about ‘The Daughter of The Sea.’”

However, Song Fan’s return disrupted her plans, and she saw her dreams being stolen by this woman.

Song Fan opened her eyes and responded, “He’s the one who wants to accompany me.”

Song Yin dared to hire someone to harm her, so there was no need for her to act pleasant. She had no intention of reconciling with her.

Song Yin choked on her words, taken aback by Song Fan’s directness.

“I think Sister has said enough. When are you going back to school?” Song Yin inquired.

Song Fan continued to bask in the sun, choosing not to answer her question. There was no reason for her to reveal her intentions to Song Yin.

Song Yin was so infuriated that she wanted to speak again. Just then, Song Ting returned with a book and asked, “What are you doing here?”

After having already learned about Song Fan’s poisoning, he no longer trusted Song Yin’s intentions. He was concerned she might say something detrimental in front of Song Fan.

Song Yin walked over and replied, “Big Brother, I’m having a conversation with Sister. It’ll help her feel better.”

Song Ting walked past Song Yin and sat beside Song Fan. “The school has many examinations during this period. You should return and focus on your studies.”

Song Yin was pleasantly surprised. “Big Brother, you know about the exams at school? I knew you still cared about me.”

“I overheard the principal talking with Little Sister yesterday,” Song Ting responded as he opened the book.
