Song Tan heard the news of Huo Yanlin going to marry Song Jiaojiao from Song Jiaojiao herself.

As soon as Huo Yanlin made the decision, Song Jiaojiao received confirmation and immediately came to boast to Song Tan.

“Brother Yanlin is going to marry me. From now on, I’ll be the Young Madam of the Huo family.”

“Brother Yanlin…”

Listening to Song Jiaojiao repeatedly calling Brother Yanlin, Song Tan felt like a chattering sparrow chirping in her ear.

However, she didn’t stop Song Jiaojiao. By listening to Song Jiaojiao’s boasting, she could filter out some of the news that interested her.

For example… Song Zhiwen not only handed over the core team but also sold the patent to Huo Yanlin.

This Song Zhiwen is really doting on his daughter.

In the original plot, she made a deal with Song Zhiwen, and only then did he agree to lend the core team to the Huo family in case of emergencies.

However, in order for his daughter to marry Huo Yanlin, Song Zhiwen directly used the core team and the patent as Song Jiaojiao’s dowry.

To be honest, she was somewhat envious of Song Jiaojiao.

Although she disliked Song Zhiwen and his wife, they really loved Song Jiaojiao.

However, she was only absent-minded for a moment. After she regained her composure, she interrupted Song Jiaojiao’s chattering and asked, “When are you getting married to Huo Yanlin?”

Song Jiaojiao: ???

Song Tan continued, “If he’s too busy and can’t arrange the wedding, remember to get registered with him first.”

Song Jiaojiao felt strange when she heard Song Tan’s reminder.

In the past, Song Tan would have been delighted if something bad happened to her. Why is Song Tan being considerate to her now?

Could Song Tan have some ulterior motive?

But Song Jiaojiao also felt that what Song Tan said was right.

Song Jiaojiao didn’t understand much about the company’s affairs, but her father told her that if they lent people to the Huo family, it would be equivalent to lending away their ability to make a living.

Although their family’s business was not large, they relied on exclusive patents and a professional team to establish themselves in City A.

Lending these things to the Huo family would pose a great risk to their company.

But if Song Jiaojiao married Huo Yanlin, then they would be one family and no longer need to worry about such matters.

Song Jiaojiao couldn’t fully understand the twists and turns in this matter, but she felt that what Song Tan said made sense.

Huo Yanlin said he’s been busy lately and can’t arrange the wedding, but it should be possible for him to spare some time to get registered.

As for Song Tan, she believed that Song Tan must know that she’s going to marry Huo Yanlin. She would become the Madam of the Huo family in the future, and Song Tan would have to rely on her goodwill to have a good life. That’s why Song Tan reminded her at this time and tried to establish a good relationship with her.

“Song Tan, you’re being wide. When I marry Huo Yanlin, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.”

Hearing Song Jiaojiao’s words, Song Tan’s face lit up with a smile.

Song Tan had a gentle appearance, and when she smiled, she became even more gentle.

Shen Yin stood at the doorway, stopped in his tracks, and watched her from afar.

He had already received the news that Huo Yanlin had received help from Song Zhiwen, saving Project An No. 2 and No. 3.

According to Song Zhiwen’s personality, he must have thought that he had found a good husband for his daughter.

This was within Shen Yin’s expectations.

However…

He wondered how Song Tan would react upon hearing this news.

Shen Yin pressed down the curve of his lips and walked up behind Song Tan.

Even before he got close, Song Tan noticed his presence.

She spoke to Song Jiaojiao on the phone, “I won’t talk to you anymore. My husband is back.”

After saying that, without waiting for any response from Song Jiaojiao on the other end of the line, she hung up directly.

Song Jiaojiao : ???

Her voice when calling “husband” was quite smooth.

Song Tan not only could call “husband” smoothly, but she had also quickly adapted to the role of a wife.

She stood up and looked at Shen Yin, smiling slightly at him, “You’re back.”

Shen Yin was rarely taken aback for a moment.

For a brief moment, he felt like an ordinary husband, having a normal family. He worked outside while his wife waited for him at home.

However, he was only dazed for a second.

“Yeah.”

The corners of Shen Yin’s lips curled up slightly, and the corners of his eyes lifted as well.

His whole person is expressing one word: gentle.

If their world were truly a book, then this passerby, Shen Yin, seemed a bit too handsome.

“I have something to tell you.”

Song Tan motioned for Shen Yin to sit, and he sat down according to her words.

He looked into Song Tan’s sparkling eyes, as if she had something interesting to share with him.

Shen Yin remained calm and watched Song Tan’s performance.

Song Tan said, “You know what? Yanlin might marry my younger sister, Jiaojiao.”

Shen Yin : ?

She knew?

Shouldn’t she…

Looking at her, not only is there no trace of disappointment, but instead… she seems a bit gossipy.

“Is that so?” Shen Yin expressed doubt.

“Song Jiaojiao told me that she is quite willing, but she doesn’t know if Yanlin is willing or not.”

As she said this, Song Tan smiled and exchanged glances with Shen Yin.

Now she can almost confirm that Shen Yin and Huo Yanlin would not be on the same side.

However, she doesn’t know if Shen Yin will be the same as her, not wanting Huo Yanlin to have a good life.

Song Tan looked at Shen Yin quite “kindly.”

Shen Yin returned her with a smile, saying, “Yanlin is someone with his own ideas. Others can’t influence his mind.”

If Huo Yanlin really married Song Jiaojiao, it would be his willingness, so Song Tan shouldn’t cry at that time, is what Shen Yin meant.

As Song Tan listened to Shen Yin’s words, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Is that so?

She didn’t believe it.

Although Huo Yanlin is the male lead, according to the original plot, he would marry her because of the prescription.

But now, he will also marry Song Jiaojiao for other reasons.

“Let’s wait and see if we can attend Yanlin and Jiaojiao’s wedding banquet.”

The anticipation on Song Tan’s face didn’t seem fake.

Under Shen Yin’s glasses, a rare hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Song Tan had no idea what Shen Yin was thinking at this moment. She specifically told Shen Yin because she wanted to see his attitude towards Huo Yanlin.

From his expression, he didn’t seem like Huo Yanlin’s relative, nor did he seem like Huo Yanlin’s enemy.

It was as if Huo Yanlin was insignificant to him.

It was unclear whether Shen Yin was just very discreet in his actions or if his relationship with Huo Yanlin was truly indifferent.

But it didn’t matter.

Other people’s affairs were always just a bit of amusement during leisure time. What mattered the most was one’s own life.

“Has Grandfather transferred his shares to you?”

Shen Yin listened to this question and hesitated, “…”

She was still concerned about whether Grandfather had actually transferred the shares to him?

“The procedures are already in progress,” he said and then looked at Song Tan, speaking up, “How about I transfer these shares to you instead?”

Yesterday, after the two of them returned, Shen Yin tried to ask her this question.

After all, considering the current value of the Huo’s company, even one percent of the shares, when converted into money, is a considerable sum.

He thought the reason Song Tan wanted to transfer it to him was that she felt embarrassed to ask for it, and then she would ask him transfer it back to her later. But the result was not so.

At that time, she said, “It doesn’t matter, whether you hold it or I hold it.”

Now, does she still think so?

“No need.”

Without thinking, Song Tan directly refused.

Shen Yin: “…” He couldn’t really figure out what Song Tan wanted to do.

However…

Shen Yin went to his bag and took out a card.

“Since you don’t want the shares, you should take this.”

Song Tan looked down and saw that it was a card.

“Your salary card?”

Shen Yin nodded.

Song Tan raised an eyebrow, “Are you submitting your salary card?”

This is something ordinary couples do after getting married.

But they are just a commercial marriage.

Shen Yin doesn’t really have to go to such extremes.

“My salary is not much, compared to what you give me.”

Compared to the shares of Huo’s company, his salary is really just a drop in the bucket.

But for Song Tan, she still prefers Shen Yin’s salary card.

“Okay, I’ll accept it then.”

The current relationship between the two is indeed somewhat mysterious.

They are a married couple through commercial alliance, but they live a married life like ordinary couples.

Song Tan thinks that this mysterious feeling is quite nice.

Continuing to maintain it may not be a bad idea.

However, some testing is inevitable.

Of course, Shen Yin at this moment thinks the same way.

No matter what they are thinking in their minds, when they lock eyes, they will exchange smiles.

To anyone who sees the two of them, they would think that the two are a loving couple.

As Song Tan expected, there was trouble with Huo’s company’s project, and the situation was urgent. Naturally, Huo Yanlin couldn’t hold the wedding with Song JiaoJiao at this time.

Although Song JiaoJiao was not very happy, Huo Yanlin assured her that he would make it up to her with a perfect wedding later, which instantly cheered her up.

However, she still remembered what Song Tan had said, that she and Huo Yanlin should go and register their marriage first.

Although she couldn’t get along with Song Tan, she thought that what Song Tan said was quite right.

The wedding is troublesome, but getting the marriage certificate is not.

If she and Huo Yanlin became husband and wife in legal sense, then this marriage would become certainty.

Huo Yanlin looked deeply at Song JiaoJiao.

It wasn’t a gaze of deep affection, but rather concealed anger.

“Isn’t it possible to spare some time for this?”

Song JiaoJiao didn’t notice Huo YanLin’s anger, nor did she realize that her words had disrupted his plans.

She looked at Huo Yanlin with great anticipation.

Huo Yanlin had originally planned to compensate the Song family fivefold after this crisis was over.

As for Song Jiaojiao, he would send her back untouched.

But now, Song Jiaojiao insisted on getting married to him first.

After obtaining the marriage certificate… things wouldn’t be so simple.

“Brother Yanlin?” Song Jiaojiao grew suspicious as Huo Yanlin remained silent. “You don’t want to marry me, do you?”

Huo Yanlin tugged at the corner of his mouth, forming a faint smile. “How could that be?”

“I knew Song Tan was jealous of me. How could Brother Yanlin not want to marry me?”

Huo Yanlin picked up the key information from her words. “Are you saying that Song Tan suggested you and I to get registered first?”
