Shang Yao seemed to be very sick as Song Si completed the entire wedding ceremony herself.
Perhaps to ease Song Si’s anger, the butler, Uncle Hu, chatted with her on the way to the new house.
The butler, Uncle Hu, said, “Actually, Young Master is a very good child. It’s just that his body is a little weak. He was originally very disapproving of this marriage and was afraid that it would hold you back. However, our old master didn’t want to hurt the Shang family’s relationship with the Song family, so he insisted that Young Master fulfill the marriage agreement. Please don’t blame him.”
Song Si was not angry. After all, her substituting her sister for this marriage was already a joke in the eyes of many. The groom not appearing on the wedding day was just adding fuel to the fire. It was not a big deal.
On the contrary, because of Uncle Hu’s words, Song Si had a good impression of this husband whom she had not met yet.
This man should be a kind-hearted person. Perhaps the life of a businessman was not as sad as she imagined.
Uncle Hu sent her to the door of the new house and left.
Song Si pushed the door open and entered. The place reeked of blood.
Song Si subconsciously covered her nose as her stomach churned.
There was a man lying on the bed. His eyes were wrapped with bandages that seeped with blood, and his face was pale. His breathing was weak, and it seemed like his heart would stop beating the next second.
Song Si knew that he was her husband, Shang Yao.
Shang Yao heard the commotion and asked weakly, “Who is it?”
“I…”
Song Si hesitated for two seconds. She really could not say the word ‘wife’, so she could only say her name. “Song Si.”
“Sigh.” Shang Yao sighed. “I’m just a disabled person now. I don’t want to burden others. Leave.”
Shang Yao’s words made Song Si’s heart ache. If one could choose, who did not want to have a healthy body?
She walked to Shang Yao’s side and picked up his hand, letting him touch the ring on her ring finger.
She smiled slightly and said, “I’m already married to you. Let me take care of you in the future.”
Shang Yao tilted his head in her direction and asked in disbelief, “Don’t you detest me? If it weren’t for me, you could have a healthy husband.”
Song Si smiled self-deprecatingly and shook her head. “Why should I hate you? You didn’t force me to marry you. If you had a choice, you wouldn’t want to lie here either, right?”
Shang Yao’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he did not in the end.
Song Si patted his hand and said, “The two of us are people who can’t control our own fates. There’s no reason why I should detest you. The only thing I hate is that I was born into the Song family and became their daughter.”
Shang Yao took his hand away from her and turned his head to the side. “I can give you a chance to control your own fate. I’ll let you go.
“I can also give you a sum of money to run far away. You won’t have to be forced by your family to do something you don’t want to do.”
Shang Yao’s words were like Eve’s apple in front of Song Si—extremely tempting.
Song Si’s eyes lit up, but they immediately darkened.
She lowered her head. “If I leave, what about you? Will you be forced to marry another woman by your family?”
Shang Yao paused for a few seconds and asked with uncertainty, “Are you concerned about me?”
Song Si sat down at the foot of the bed. “Perhaps. Actually, I don’t have anywhere to go. My mother… who’s also the previous Madam Song, is currently lying in the hospital’s ICU.
“I can’t just abandon her. In her current situation, she won’t be able to hold on for long.
“Moreover, what I want the most is to cut ties with the Song family. If I ruin the marriage between the two families and cause my sister to be unable to join the Shang family, the Song family won’t let me off.
“If you let me go, the Shang family won’t let you off either, right? You’re a kind person. I don’t want to see you get hurt because of me.”
Song Si did not know what was wrong with her that she said so much to Shang Yao.

She thought that perhaps it was because their fates were similar, so she had an inexplicable desire to confide in him.
“Hehe… Hahahaha!”
Shang Yao suddenly laughed. His voice changed from soft to loud, scaring Song Si.
She looked at him strangely and saw Shang Yao sit up. He pulled off the bandages on him, revealing a pair of dark and charming eyes.
