Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Confession
When this matter came up, Song Xiaodong truly felt guilty, He cleared his throat and said, "Donât be rash, donât be rash, can you at least listen to my explanation first?"
Qiao Yutong spoke with a fierce tone, "Speak! If you canât give me a reasonable explanation, Iâll cripple you right now. You told me to touch you..., and now Iâll make you a eunuch on the spot."
Song Xiaodong hurriedly said, "Well... think about it, I had been drinking that day, and I drank quite a bit, too. Being drunk like that, it was already not easy for me to walk back on my own, so where would I still have the ability to use my strength?"
Qiao Yutong tightened her grip and said through gritted teeth, "Thatâs no excuse. If a person drinks too much, the strength they canât control would be even more uncontrollable."
"Ahem..." Having been exposed by Qiao Yutong, Song Xiaodong couldnât help but feel a little embarrassed, and with a twinkle in his eye, he said, "Alright, I admit, last night I did it on purpose."
"Well, youâve admitted it," Qiao Yutong gnashed her teeth, and raised her fist.
Song Xiaodong quickly exclaimed, "Wait, wait, donât get worked up, I havenât finished talking yet."
"Go on!" Qiao Yutongâs fist remained raised in the air but did not lower.
"This... alright, I didnât want to say it, but now I have no choice. That night, when you stopped me, the moment I saw you, it was like I got electrocuted. Iâve never seen such a beautiful and elegant woman. Especially the way you look in your police uniform, itâs indescribably beautiful. I... I... I fell in love with you instantly."
"What!" Qiao Yutongâs eyes widened suddenly as if she was dumbstruck.
Gazing at Qiao Yutong with "tenderness", Song Xiaodong spoke softly, "I never believed in love at first sight before, but now I know. Falling for someone can happen in just an instant."
"You... you..." Qiao Yutongâs lips quivered, and her eyes flickered, unable to meet Song Xiaodongâs gaze. The hand gripping Song Xiaodongâs collar also loosened significantly.
"I know that you are like a star in the sky, unreachable, and I would never have any hope of being with you in this lifetime. So, at that moment, I just wanted to entangle you a little longer, even if it was for just a second. I truly couldnât help myself; I just couldnât control myself."
"You... youâre shameless!" Under Song Xiaodongâs gaze, Qiao Yutong appeared even more flustered.
"But..." Song Xiaodongâs face showed a deep regret as he said, "But that night, I ended up in such an embarrassing situation with you. Itâs simply a desecration of the goddess in my heart. I really had no face to see you again, too frightened to show up in front of you. However, fate has allowed us to meet again, giving me a chance to express my true feelings and to have the opportunity to apologize to you."
Shaking his head vigorously with even more "guilt," Song Xiaodong said, "I know you already have the worst impression of me, and I completely deserve it."
"You... you bastard!" Qiao Yutong abruptly pushed Song Xiaodong away, then turned and quickly ran out of the interrogation room, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Song Xiaodong almost burst out laughing. This Qiao Yutong was so easy to deceive, and from her reaction, it was clear that she was a complete novice in matters of the heart.
Old Sun stood up, walked over to Song Xiaodong, and said with a smile, "Iâll tell you, you boy are quite impressive, confessing to our criminal police teamâs beauty right here."
Song Xiaodong grinned and said, "I just didnât have any other choice."
Old Sun patted Song Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "Do you know how many young men are after our Xiao Qiao? Itâs like a reinforced company. Itâs only because it is me; if it were a younger policeman, then you would have had a tough time."
"Yes, thanks for the warning."
"Uh-huh... but Iâll tell you, our Xiao Qiao looks down on those pursuers. She has always admired the strong. Normally, none of those young guys are her match; she has beaten them all. And judging from what you just said, your strength must be greater than Xiao Qiaoâs. This means you still have a chance. However, youâd better not turn into a criminal. Our Xiao Qiao detests evil; if you become her adversary, then youâll have no chance at all."
Song Xiaodong grinned and said, "Alright, Iâve taken note."
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Qiao Yutong once again entered, followed by a man in a suit.
"You may leave," Qiao Yutong said coldly, without giving Song Xiaodong as much as a glance. Despite her seemingly arrogant demeanor, Song Xiaodong noticed she was avoiding his gaze.
This made Song Xiaodong feel even more amused. Could it be that the female officer had taken a liking to him after his declaration of love?
The man in the suit politely addressed Song Xiaodong, "Mr. Song, I am Chen Tao, the lawyer for the Miao Family. Please come with me."
Song Xiaodong nodded and replied, "Thank you."
As he followed Chen Tao to the detectivesâ floor, Miao Xuanxuan came up to him quickly, asking, "Did they give you a hard time? If they did, letâs sue them."
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and answered, "No, they didnât."
"Well, thatâs good then. Hmph, that female officer was obviously targeting you, right? Did you offend her in the past?"
Thinking of Qiao Yutongâs disdainful exterior yet bashful demeanor, Song Xiaodong couldnât help but want to laugh and replied, "No, no, letâs go."
"Where are Gangzi and Xiaoqiang?" Song Xiaodong didnât see Li Gang or Wang Xiaoqiang, so he immediately asked.
Miao Xuanxuan said, "Xiaoqiangâs injuries were not light, so he was taken to the hospital first, and Gangzi went with him."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Then I really appreciate your trouble."
Miao Xuanxuan flipped her chin up and declared, "Why be so formal with me? We are good buddies, arenât we?"
Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Since when did we become good buddies?"
Miao Xuanxuan smiled mischievously and replied, "Weâve shared adversity this time, and weâve fought together which naturally makes us good buddies, doesnât it?"
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "Alright then, weâre good buddies."
"Thatâs more like it," Miao Xuanxuan giggled joyfully and added, "My dad is waiting in the car. Letâs head over."
"Your dad came too?" Song Xiaodong was taken aback.
"Hehe, youâre his future son-in-law, so of course he wanted to come see you," Miao Xuanxuan teased.
Song Xiaodong snorted with laughter. That was quite a title, and given the situation with the two sisters not acknowledging him, his position as a son-in-law was in name only.
It was the same extended Mercedes. Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan got in the car and saw Miao Qingyuan sitting there.
Miao Qingling gave Song Xiaodong a faint smile and gestured for him to take a seat, seeming very relaxed and friendly. Could it be that he really wanted to acknowledge him as a son-in-law after all?
