The hotel manager was also scared out of his wits. Seeing that Song Nian was fine, he waved his hands, “It’s alright, as long as she’s fine.”

After the hotel manager left, Qi Yu and Zheng Chengyang didn’t leave. Zheng Chengyang glanced at the two of them before turning around to go into the living room.

Song Nian tidied up her messy hair from her sleep and looked up at Qi Yu, “Did you need something from me earlier?”

Qi Yu nodded, “Yes, I did.”

When they went out, Song Nian saw that Zheng Chengyang and Qi Yu were on the phone. After the call ended, Zheng Chengyang was a little off. At that time, she didn’t ask because her stomach wasn’t feeling well, but now, she stared at Qi Yu for a while.

She nodded, “It seems like this matter is related to me. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Qi Yu did not expect Song Nian to be so perceptive. He paused for a moment and nodded, “There is indeed something I need your help with.”

Song Nian was very straightforward, “Tell me, what do you need me to do?”

Qi Yu did not know how to say it. They had just agreed not to have any more interactions in the future. After all, they were divorced, and they had to keep a distance from each other. They should not be entangled like this. Therefore he did not know how to make this request.

Song Nian stared at Qi Yu for a long time, but he didn’t say what it was about, so she took the initiative to ask, “Why, is it difficult to ask?”

Qi Yu shook his head, “It’s not that difficult. It’s just that the fact that I was drugged in the hotel is now exposed. Because of the special circumstances, I could only say that you were the one who had s*x with me.”

In fact, this matter wasn’t hard to understand. Although Song Nian had never been in the business world, she had been in the Qi family for a year, so she knew some things.

Song Nian thought about it and asked, “They used what happened last night to blackmail you? Our divorce hasn’t been announced yet, so are you trying to say that we’re still legal?”

Qi Yu nodded, “That’s right, that’s what I meant. They’ll probably check the surveillance cameras.”

Qi Yu could be considered the main guest of the banquet. If he suddenly disappeared from the hotel, they would definitely check the surveillance cameras. Song Nian would naturally be seen on the surveillance cameras, so Qi Yu’s explanation was flawless.

The only thing those people didn’t know was that the two of them were already divorced.

Song Nian thought about it and asked again, “Then, what do you actually mean?”

Zheng Chengyang had come over and was leaning over at the door to eavesdrop. Now that he saw Song Nian asking this, he was afraid that Qi Yu would be too embarrassed to say anything.

So he continued, “The two of you cannot let others know about your divorce. At this juncture, no matter what reason you give for your divorce, the truth will be distorted. Therefore, for the time being, the two of you need to put on an act in front of outsiders and pretend to be a loving couple.”

Furthermore, if word got out that they had sex after the divorce, it wouldn’t sound good either.

Song Nian looked at Qi Yu. Qi Yu paused for two seconds and agreed with Zheng Chengyang, “Yes, that’s what I meant.”

Without waiting for Song Nian to say anything, Qi Yu immediately added, “But don’t worry. After this is over, I’ll find an opportunity to announce the divorce to the public. You can give me any reason you prefer. Also, when you cooperate with me, I won’t treat you unfairly during this period. You can give me any conditions you want.”

Giving such a huge benefit only meant that she had to fulfill even more of her responsibilities.

Song Nian pursed her lips, “So… the prerequisite for pretending to be in love is that the husband and wife need to stay in the same room? Eat and live together?”

After all, she had never heard of any loving couple that would have separate rooms while on vacation.

Qi Yu furrowed his brows out of habit, “More or less.” In fact, he wasn’t sure what Song Nian needed to do next, and he didn’t know what tricks Director Liu would come up with next.

If Director Liu was well-behaved, he didn’t need Song Nian’s help to do anything, nor did he need Song Nian to stay by his side all the time. As long as no one noticed any substantial changes in their relationship, it would be fine.

Song Nian thought about it and suddenly smiled, her eyes shining, “Then what do you want to give me? Even if it was up to me, there should be a bottom line, right?”

Qi Yu’s expression did not change, “As long as it’s not too excessive, it’s fine.”

Song Nian did not know what the standard was, but she did not dwell on it and only said, “Then let me think about it.”

Zheng Chengyang’s eyes widened, “What else do you have to think about? Isn’t this…”

“Okay, I can give you time to think about it, but not too long. Can you give me an answer tomorrow morning?” Qi Yu interrupted Zheng Chengyang’s words and stared at Song Nian..
