Chapter 61
Song Anan was completely confused. In an instant, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
The second male lead, unmarried for life, childhood sweethearts, white moonlight...
But all of these were shattered by Pei Kuang's words "I've never liked her."
Just what was the relationship between Pei Kuang and Xie Yin? They knew each other, seemed to have some connection through their families, and there was that ambiguous description in the original book—
The man looked at the newlyweds on stage and their families, a trace of melancholy and pain passing through his eyes.
How could this be explained? Could it be that the original book's plot had long diverged from reality in this world?
That was also a possibility, after all, Song Linchuan, that cannon fodder male supporting character, had already completely broken away from the original book.
But if none of that was valid, then why did Pei Kuang not clarify the dating rumors two years ago? After all, it did so much damage to his career at the time.
What reason could he have for doing this?
Song Anan stared blankly at Pei Kuang, too many doubts arising in her heart, but she didn't know how to ask them.
Pei Kuang knew what Song Anan wanted to ask, but he had never liked talking about family matters. Over the past two years, Li Dongming had directly and indirectly asked him many times, but he had always casually changed the topic, not revealing anything.
But now, facing the girl's clear and innocent eyes, he couldn't utter a single evasive excuse.
Pei Kuang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did Linchuan tell you about my family circumstances?"
Song Anan hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "He mentioned some things."
Pei Kuang lightly hmm-ed and said, "My mother remarried, to Xie Yin's father."
Song Anan seemed completely unprepared for this reason. Her eyes widened in surprise.
Her mind suddenly blanked. She asked in disbelief, "So Xie Yin, she's your blood-related younger sister?"
If that was the case, then everything seemed to make sense!
But if she was a blood-related sister, wouldn't those dating rumors be even more bizarre?
Pei Kuang was confused for a moment, seemingly finding it somewhat absurd. He couldn't help but laugh. "What are you thinking? Xie Yin is only a few years younger than me."
At this time, Song Anan's IQ had finally come back online. She scratched her head in some embarrassment.
Linchuan had told her before that when Pei Kuang's mother remarried, he was already over ten years old. There was no way they could be blood-related siblings when considering their ages.
At most, Xie Yin could be considered a stepsister.
Song Anan hesitated, then still asked, "Then, what about the previous rumors of you two dating..."
Pei Kuang didn't hide anything either. He shrugged and replied, "I owed Xie's family some favors. Consider this repaying my debts."
Song Anan's heart skipped a beat. Repaying debts?
Was it as she thought?
She remembered that the reason Pei Kuang had entered the entertainment industry so early was to repay the debt his grandmother had incurred when she was ill. So the debt was owed to the Zhao family.
