Chapter 46: Miss Song, any other questions?

For such prominent, lofty men, it is an even greater taboo.

Acting well and becoming famous is a good thing, but it ties you to the character in the drama, and there are many CP fans; how many of those lofty men could accept that?

If you act poorly and stay unknown, that's even more ridiculous: a top‑tier wealthy family rich wife runs off to be a background extra in a TV drama—doesn't that just invite ridicule?

So Song Huan Yan truly isn't sure whether a man like Nan Gong Yu would accept this.

Last time, Leng Jian Yue voluntarily asked her not to work, to stay at home supporting her husband and teaching the children, preserving the family's reputation; that request wasn't actually wrong.

That's how an Aristocratic Family wife is: she almost never works outside; even if she does, it's in a senior position within her own conglomerate.

Sure enough, after she said that, Nan Gong Yu fell silent, as if he hadn't expected her to say it.

Song Huan Yan explained, "Mainly, I'm not interested in other fields. I also majored in acting in university; besides this, I don't know what else to do. I'm not that old, so I want to work for two years. After that, if needed, I can step back behind the scenes, or I can stop working altogether."

At her age it's actually a bit awkward: twenty‑five, both marriageable and child‑bearing age, and also a period of career hustle and upward momentum.

Mainly, after graduating, she devoted her time and energy to Qin Zi Mo, helping him soar, while she got nothing.

If it weren't for Qin Zi Mo, she would now be at the peak of her career.

She wouldn't be facing this awkwardness, having to bring up work during a blind date.

Nan Gong Yu, after hearing her explanation, remained silent, seeming to be thinking very carefully.

Song Huan Yan wasn't in a hurry, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, Nan Gong Yu's phone rang; he glanced at it and said, "Sorry, it's a work call, I need to take it."

Song Huan Yan nodded, "Alright."

Nan Gong Yu picked up the phone, and the entire conversation was in English.

Song Huan Yan's English is good; she can understand.

However, he was talking about matters related to work and finance/economics, which she isn't proficient in.

But he spoke little; the other side was doing most of the talking.

He listened attentively, and his responses were precise, sharp, and assertive.

Song Huan Yan also watched attentively; she hadn't expected that the distant, aloof, rigid man she always thought of was not only a perfect gentleman but also humble, courteous, and rather gentle toward her.

Cold aloofness and tenderness never conflict.

But in work… she saw that he is extremely assertive, overwhelmingly so, leaving the other party virtually no room to breathe.

Just now, handling Chu Yue was the same: cold, hard, ruthless, not a hint of pity, not a single word of nonsense, and even his gaze was barely there.

He also didn't show any fluctuation because of Chu Yue's sexy outfit.

It seems he is someone who separates everything very clearly.

They say that regardless of gender, one is most attractive while working.

Song Huan Yan thinks this statement is not unfounded; she looks at him and suddenly feels like she's viewing a piece of art.

She suddenly recalls her own somewhat awkward, subtle youth.

Since childhood she was a renowned little beauty, the school belle from elementary through high school, a goddess who made many young boys drool.

But at that time, Song Qicheng was her flower guardian; with Song Qicheng at school, no boy dared to approach her.

Later, when she entered university, Song Qicheng, to better manage the Song Clan, went abroad to study a related major.

She studied acting, and thereafter… the only thing in her memory linked to youth was Qin Zi Mo…

The naive bewilderment of university, the beautiful yearning of first love, she gave all of it to Qin Zi Mo.

In the two years after graduation, to support Qin Zi Mo, she never considered herself.

She had thought they'd arrange the marriage on her birthday, then plan the wedding and officially marry.

She and Qin Zi Mo were in the same field, a united couple, sharing the same heart and purpose.

But the result was a tragic betrayal and scheming.

Now, looking back, her youth and career are a wasteland.

Now, watching Nan Gong Yu in work mode, his vigorous, king‑level absolute control, she truly feels a bit envious.

When working, he exudes astonishing charisma, speaking fluently yet aggressively.

He seems to have absolute control over his own life as well.

He learned various skills as a child, and as an adult built his own kingdom.

Upon reaching marriageable age, he accepted a Marriage Alliance, interacting with the other party according to normal procedures.

Although it didn't materialize in the end, he exited gracefully, without any nasty rumors spreading.

But afterward his steps didn't halt; he still looked for suitable Marriage Alliance partners, made many unpretentious demands, and also learned from the previous experience.

He even skipped the dating stage, jumping straight to marriage.

His pace is steady and passionate, with a clear, complete grasp of his own life.

In comparison, she feels a bit terrible…

Nan Gong Yu finished the call, placed the phone aside, and looked at Song Huan Yan.

Song Huan Yan also came back to herself.

Nan Gong Yu seemed to have finished thinking, continued the previous topic, and said, "I don't oppose you wanting to work; if you really like it, I support you. If you get tired, you don't have to work. If you need any help with work, just speak up."

Hearing this answer, Song Huan Yan was both surprised and delighted, with four words jumping in her mind: perfect husband.

"But," Nan Gong Yu added, "I'm not very familiar with actors, but some dramas… seem not quite appropriate."

Song Huan Yan nodded, "Yes. But I have the right to choose."

From the moment she decided she would also act, become famous, and leave a bold, colorful mark on her life, she had already planned it out for herself.

She herself is capital, so the Entertainment Circle's rules don't apply to her.

Nan Gong Yu said, "Hmm, I think so too."

After speaking, he raised his glass and said, "Then I await your grand achievements."

Song Huan Yan was slightly stunned; he actually… gilded her.

"Thank you." Song Huan Yan lifted her wine glass, feeling very good.

She no longer had much to consider; this person was definitely an ideal partner.

Previously her impression of him was that he was busy, extremely busy, raised from childhood under heir‑standard training, very strict, even harsh.

So he was cold to others, spoke little, making people think he must be very rigid.

But she didn't expect that someone trained as an heir since childhood could be so perfectly outstanding.

It is said that he is proficient in twelve languages and is a world‑renowned financial prodigy.

He never attended school since childhood; he was enlightened at three, and for every subject he studied under a master.

Not only academics, but also golf, horseback riding, wine tasting, and the like were taught by masters.

In this electronic age, he can still write beautiful calligraphy.

The Yu Huang Group he personally built has industries spread worldwide, deeply rooted and intricately intertwined.

It is also heard that he devotes himself to charity and has his own charitable foundation.

No wonder Leng Bai Wei dated him for a while back then, feeling elated, and bragged to everyone about how outstanding he was.

It seems Leng Bai Wei wanted to emotionally conquer such a perfect man, but… failed?

The two drank wine and set their glasses down.

Nan Gong Yu took the initiative to ask, "Miss Song, do you have any more questions?"

Song Huan Yan replied, "Just one more."

Nan Gong Yu said, "You may ask as many as you like; it's all appropriate."

Song Huan Yan said, "You know I'm the only daughter in my family. I'm not very skilled in finance; the Song Clan, my elder brother certainly holds shares. In the future, he will most likely continue to control the Song Clan, but if ever I…"

Song Huan Yan did not finish the rest of her sentence.

Nan Gong Yu said, "I understand what you mean. My proposal is that after we marry, the Song Clan can merge into Yu Huang, but only merge, remaining fundamentally independent. If you need it, I will send people to take over full‑time; if you want me to take over, that's fine too. But whoever takes over, the Song Group will remain completely independent."

This made Song Huan Yan surprised.

If the Song Clan merges into Yu Huang yet stays entirely independent, that's a take‑off.
