Chapter 382 He Loves Her, Truly Loves
Shi Nuan was momentarily stunned, her fingers involuntarily gripping the steering wheel tightly. After a while, she said, "...It’s okay!"
Song Yansheng simply replied with a hum and said nothing more.
Perhaps he had finished asking all the questions he cared about.
After several minutes of silence, Song Yansheng still hadn’t spoken. Shi Nuan was usually quite used to this kind of quiet atmosphere, but today, she felt a bit guilty, and her heart was uneasy.
She began trying to initiate conversation with Song Yansheng, asking, "Second Uncle, was your work smooth today?"
"Quite good, everything went smoothly!"
"Oh... What did you have for lunch, Second Uncle?"
"Secretary Yao ordered takeout from Yipin Pavilion for me; it tasted quite good!"
"Oh..."
Shi Nuan ran out of words, unsure of what else to ask.
She wasn’t someone who was very good at socializing, much less someone who would actively find topics of conversation!
She suddenly thought of Ou Xiaoning. Although Ou Xiaoning usually seemed carefree and unconcerned, she never let any occasion fall into awkward silence.
That, too, is a skill, she thought.
Afterwards, Shi Nuan stopped talking and focused on driving. Song Yansheng also stopped speaking, bringing the atmosphere inside the car back to peace.
Only occasionally would Song Yansheng glance sideways at this young and beautiful girl, his gaze a bit mesmerized, with deep affection hidden within the calm.
Ever since he returned to the country at the age of twenty-one, from that first distant glance of her from the car.
He knew then, that this girl named Shi Nuan was destined to be a tribulation in his life, one he couldn’t overcome.
Indeed, from the age of twenty-one to twenty-nine, for eight whole years, his soul had been inhabited by a woman named Shi Nuan.
She was truly thin, and her looks weren’t the type that amazed at first sight, but it was this kind of peaceful and serene aura that made it hard for him to look away once his eyes settled on her.
Today the sky was overcast, without sunlight, her entire face cast in a muted shadow, looking dreamlike, beautiful to the point of being unreal.
He thought, she was like a midnight flourishing flower, though rarely appreciated, her beauty was radiant, and her fragrance pervasive.
This is the girl he liked, a girl he had liked for many years!
At their first meeting, she was still a six-year-old little girl, but in a blink, she had become a youthful and graceful girl in her early twenties.
Time is indeed a magical thing, turning many impossibilities into possibilities, many dreams into realities, many inadvertent moments into fondness, into love...
He loved her, truly loved, and wished he could give her the best of the world!
He truly wanted to offer his heart to her with sincerity...
If she would gladly accept, he would be the happiest man in the world!
But, he didn’t dare, he could only cautiously draw near, melting her slowly with a warmth she couldn’t detect...
Because before he entered her life, she had already given her heart to someone else...
She fell in love with someone else!
In the past, he felt he still had time, no rush, to take things slowly...
After all, she was already by his side, his wife, even if he had to spend a lifetime slowly grinding down this way with her...
It didn’t matter, he didn’t mind...
But now, it couldn’t go on like this, he had no time left!
That person came back, provoked, competed, brought a sense of crisis...
He had to act fast...
Yes, he had to act fast!
Capture her as quickly as possible!
