Chapter 409 Baby
As soon as he fell asleep, Song Tingnan felt his head was more confused than ever before, as if he were being chased by a group of Japanese soldiers, and it seemed as if he had been drugged.
She staggered as she ran, biting her tongue to keep herself a little more conscious. Just as she was about to catch up, a man lunged at her, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her into a security booth on the side of the street, then rolled her under a table.
An alarm bell rang in Song Tingnan's mind: Wasn't this like walking into a trap? What could this small room possibly hold back?
But her mind became increasingly confused. In her daze, the man kept holding her, blocking her view from the outside world, and the babbling words in her ears sounded like a lullaby.
She struggled to hold on until the sound of footsteps receding rang out, and then she was completely plunged into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Tingnan found herself lying face down on a hospital bed, her buttocks on a chair, her body sprawled across the bed. Above her head was a man whose face she couldn't see, in the same position.
Song Tingnan dared not move rashly. She knew that her current posture must be her body's way of activating its self-protective mechanism.
Gao Haoran saw that she was a girl and specially trained her—in an unfamiliar environment, even if she was unconscious, her body would resist and she would not obediently lie down on an unfamiliar bed.
Someone stroked her hair, and a soft murmur sounded in her ear: "Baby, I've been looking for you for ages, why don't you remember me? Baby, relax, I won't hurt you."
"Baby?" Such an intimate term? Although Song Tingnan had never been in a relationship, she had seen it all. Those around her who were deeply in love, who might not know what "sweetheart," "baby," or "love" meant, naturally knew that these were affectionate nicknames.
In the past, Song Tingnan would have felt nauseous when she heard those ridiculous nicknames, but this time she didn't feel disgusted at all; instead, she had a sweet and sour feeling about it.
Is this the sour smell of love? Or is it just that she's getting older and her hormones are kicking in?
Song Tingnan was somewhat lost in thought when she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her neck, jolting her awake. She quickly looked around; wasn't she still in her hotel room? Where was this strange man?
"I guess I'm getting old, having dreams like that. But... Song Tingnan couldn't help but savor that bittersweet feeling again. The taste of being pampered was really sweet. For the first time, she felt that being in a relationship wasn't so bad."
However, the red beads on her neck seemed reluctant, and they burned her again.
Never mind, Song Tingnan went to the bathroom to wash up. She had to hurry so that her relatives back home wouldn't worry.
Judging by age, Zheng Yueqiang should be about the same age as Song Wanli. What can an old man in his fifties do?
According to the information I've gathered, Zheng Yueqiang was a tough guy in the war, fearless and always charging ahead, but he was lucky to survive, only suffering a lot of injuries.
While recuperating, he missed the return trip with the main group and ended up in an island nation by mistake. Unable to return for the time being, he was taken in by a wealthy young lady, and they married after much persuasion, having two sons and a daughter.
Song Tingnan felt there must be something fishy going on. He was such a grown man, and he hadn't lost his memory. If he remembered his wife and children, he would have crawled back home.
Based on the stories told by the older generation, Zheng Yueqiang can be described as a daring and enterprising person. When he went to join the army, while others were trembling with fear, he said enthusiastically, "Joining the army is also a way out. Otherwise, if I stay at home 'working on the land,' when will I ever get ahead?" He left behind a large family, old and young, and went without hesitation.
Song Xiuying tried to stop him, but was scolded: "You have no sense of responsibility. When the country is in trouble, everyone has a duty to serve. You're blocking my way, so I'm divorcing you."
He had also attended a private school and had some old-fashioned ideas, so it was not surprising that he thought it was normal to have multiple wives and concubines.
Judging from Zheng Xiangqian's resemblance to his father, he is quite good-looking, so it's not surprising that he married into a wealthy family.
It's not difficult for a Chinese man to break into the circle of the wealthy. The network of relationships within that wealthy family is quite complex, with so much information that it would fill an entire page with a relationship tree.
The more Song Tingnan understood, the less interested she was in claiming kinship. She just felt sorry for her mother. If her father hadn't died young, even if he had lost an eye, he would still be better than this man.
