Living With a Temperamental Adonis 99 Proclamations of Love
Chapter 539: An Impromptu Journey 3Song Qingchun sniffled once more before saying, "Brother Yinan, I don't have my phone on me, and my purse was left at Eldorado. I've used the last coin on me to make this call, so can you come fetch me?"
Even though Su Zhinian was about a hundred meters away from Song Qingchun, using his super-hearing, he managed to hear the sound of fabric shuffling as Qin Yinan put on his clothes, and he asked hurriedly, "Song Song, where are you?"
"The bridge across from Hwa Mao."
"Stay there and don't move, I'll be there in a minute."

After the phone was hung up, Song Qingchun leaned against the phone booth and stared at the open road blankly, completely immobile.
Her phone call had drenched the compulsion within Su Zhinian's heart because it reignited his rationality. With his tight grip on the diamond ring, he closed the car door that was half-open.
…
Qin Yinan first took Song Qingchun to Eldorado to grab her things before sending her home. It was already 2 am, and Song Menghwa and Fang Rou were asleep already. Afraid that they might wake them up, Song Qingchun had Qin Yinan park his car at the gate and not the driveway.
When Qin Yinan stumbled across the heavily drunk Su Zhinian, his intention had been to help Song Qingchun, but in the end, it appeared that he had only made things worse.
Staring at her slender frame that staggered back into the Song family's home, Qin Yinan was worried, so he got out of the car and followed her in.
…
When Song Qingchun reached the door and was looking for the house key, the door was suddenly pulled open from within. With a shock, Song Qingchun raised her eyes to see Song Menghwa with a drawn face staring down at her.
"Dad? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I…" Song Qingchun was truly at her breaking point, but she still forced herself to come up with a reasonable excuse for her father. "…Where else would I be? I was at the company. There has been a big assignment for the past two days, and I've been working until…"
"Lies! I dare you lie to my face some more!" Song Menghwa cut her off severely. "Don't think I don't know you snuck out of the house around midnight yesterday! Also, your phone has been off from this morning until now, do you ever turn off your phone if you're on work duty? Tell me honestly, where the hell have you been?"
So, I've been found out already… Song Qingchun tried to maintain the levity and ease on her face. Her eyes moved in contemplation before smiling in an attempt to placate Song Menghwa. "I got a call from a friend last night asking me to go out. I had too many to drink and slept at her place…"
Ever since she was a child, she would be able to use her cute ways to escape the wrath of her father. This time, she was repeating the method. During the middle of the conversation, she hugged Song Menghwa's arm and shook on it like she was like a little girl, saying, "…I swear this is the last time; there will never be a next time… okay… Dad?"
Song Qingchun spoke pleadingly as she surreptitiously tried to gauge Song Menghwa's mood.
