Chapter 376 Nuannuan, You’re So Ruthless
During the meal, Shen Zui didn’t say anything else, just encouraged Shi Nuan to eat more.
Shi Nuan indeed had no appetite, but she had to force herself to eat.
Shen Zui noticed that Shi Nuan only ate vegetables and didn’t touch the meat dishes at all, which surprised him: "Why aren’t you eating some meat? You’re so thin, do you really need to diet?"
As he spoke, he was about to serve Shi Nuan some food.
Shi Nuan lowered her gaze, her expression indifferent and calm, and said, "I’ve stopped eating meat for a while..."
Shen Zui’s hand paused mid-action while reaching for the food, he then smiled and asked, "Why suddenly stop eating meat?"
Shi Nuan continued eating quietly, without looking up, and said, "I’m in mourning for Xiao Chuan..."
"Clatter—" came the sound of chopsticks falling to the floor!
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and only then did she look up at Shen Zui across the table, but her face remained expressionless.
At that moment, Shen Zui also looked at Shi Nuan, his eyes filled with disbelief, his thin lips moved slightly, and it took him a while before he spoke: "Did you just say..."
Shi Nuan spoke without any reservation, "I said, I’m in mourning for Xiao Chuan!"
"Ha..." Shen Zui let out a laugh, but his dark eyes turned instantly red!
Before coming, he still harbored hope, he hoped that many past things were misunderstandings and that she held him in her heart.
She was forced to get engaged to Song Yichuan, forced into submission to Song Yansheng...
Everything was not her voluntary choice, it wasn’t...
But now, he realized just how foolish he was!
Mourning? That’s only something done for one’s own family or loved ones...
Xiao Chuan wasn’t Shi Nuan’s family, so, was she mourning for him as a lover?
Did she truly develop different feelings for Song Yichuan back then?
Did she really fall in love with Song Yichuan?
He bit his lip, his eyes filled with pain, he said, "Nuannuan, you’re so cruel..."
Knowing that saying such things would hurt him, making it unbearable for him, she uttered it so heedlessly, without any expression...
Shi Nuan, you are truly cruel...
Shi Nuan’s eyes trembled slightly, she really didn’t think much when she said that sentence earlier.
To a large extent, it was just stating a fact...
She dared to say it to her husband Song Yansheng, so she wasn’t afraid to say it to others!
But she forgot, Shen Zui was actually somewhat sensitive regarding Song Yichuan...
She vaguely remembered Shen Zui coming to the school one day to ask her in the tea room if she had fallen in love with someone else!
Was that person Xiao Chuan?
He even asked her when exactly she fell in love with Xiao Chuan, whether it was before or after their breakup...
Shi Nuan was very surprised that he would ask this, but thinking back now, it seemed there was some reason to it.
She recalled Shen Zui had previously mentioned over the phone that there were other reasons for his departure...
She pondered briefly and almost asked a question she herself couldn’t believe: "So, you left back then, broke up with me, because you thought I... had fallen for Xiao Chuan?"
Shen Zui shook his head, his expression somewhat defeated, and said: "No, I didn’t think you had fallen for Xiao Chuan, but I felt you had someone else in your heart... I suspected it was Xiao Chuan, but I didn’t want to believe it, yet I somehow was so sure, that you had someone else in your heart..."
He gave a sorrowful smile and continued: "Then, I left, foolishly left, I thought it was letting go and fulfilling something good for both of us. But after I left, I regretted, I kept enduring, enduring, enduring... But ultimately, I couldn’t endure it, over three months later, I returned to the country, only to hear about your engagement to Xiao Chuan as soon as I returned..."
