Chapter 383: His Hands are Somewhat Cold
The car arrived at the Song Mansion and came to a steady stop.
Both of them quickly got out of the car, Aunt Hui leading a few servants who bowed in greeting.
Song Yansheng extended a hand, palm up, a clear invitation.
Shi Nuan paused slightly before placing her hand in Song Yansheng’s palm.
Song Yansheng’s hand was not as warm as usual, instead a bit cool, perhaps due to the slightly chilly weather today.
Together, they walked towards the main house, with Aunt Hui following behind, asking Song Yansheng what he wanted for dinner tonight.
Song Yansheng casually mentioned a few dishes, and Aunt Hui noted them down one by one. Shi Nuan noticed that most of these dishes were ones she liked.
As they reached the doorstep, Song Yansheng instructed Aunt Hui, "Get two bottles of red wine from the cellar. Tonight, I want to have a drink with Nuannuan!"
Shi Nuan was slightly taken aback. Song Yansheng wanted to drink tonight? Why did he suddenly want to drink?
Over there, Aunt Hui had already acknowledged and asked Song Yansheng if there was anything else.
Song Yansheng waved his hand, pulling Shi Nuan inside without saying more.
"Second Uncle..." she called softly, actually inquiring.
As if anticipating her question, Song Yansheng smiled and said, "Today was Nuannuan’s first day of internship, which went smoothly. It’s also her official first step from campus to the workplace. In other words, our Nuannuan begins to grow up from today, so naturally, we should drink a little to celebrate..."
Pausing a bit, he added, "Moreover, as Nuannuan enters the workforce, there will occasionally be social engagements. It’s better to test your drinking capacity now, so I won’t worry about you drinking alone outside in the future!"
What Song Yansheng said made a lot of sense, and Shi Nuan couldn’t refuse.
Actually, she had a pretty good tolerance for alcohol...
The last time, if Shi Jiaojiao hadn’t spiked her drink, she wouldn’t have ended up that way!
Thinking carefully, since that incident, it seemed she hadn’t had red wine much...
Before dinner, Shi Nuan returned to her room to change into more comfortable casual clothes.
When she came downstairs, Song Yansheng was nowhere to be seen, and Aunt Hui said, "Mr. went to the garden!"
Shi Nuan looked at the gloomy sky outside and wondered what Song Yansheng was doing in the garden but didn’t ask more.
She sat on the sofa, casually flipping through the newspaper on the table.
About ten minutes later, Song Yansheng returned. In a white shirt and black trousers, tall and handsome, he was indeed an eye-catching presence.
Shi Nuan noticed traces of soil on his shoes and thought he might have been to the flowerbed.
He told Shi Nuan, "I’ll go change clothes. We can eat when I come back down!"
Shi Nuan nodded, and Song Yansheng quickly went upstairs.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but it felt like Song Yansheng was in a bad mood.
A maid walked in from outside, and Shi Nuan noticed there were also traces of dirt on her shoes. She asked, "What was Mr. doing in the flowerbed just now?"
The maid frowned, a bit annoyed, and said, "Well, Madam, the hibiscus Mr. planted last month seems... to have withered!"
Aunt Hui frowned nearby, scolding, "Watch your words!"
The maid immediately fell silent. Talking about "withering," even for a plant, was indeed too taboo.
Shi Nuan was slightly surprised and asked, "Did Mr. plant a hibiscus last month?"
This was something she really didn’t know!
The maid bit her lip, unsure whether to answer or not!
Aunt Hui said, "Madam is asking you, didn’t you hear?"
Only then did the maid reply, "Mr... Mr. did plant a hibiscus last month. At that time, Madam was at school, so you didn’t know!"
Shi Nuan nodded, so that’s what happened.
The maid added, "Actually, Mr. hadn’t planned on planting a hibiscus, but he heard about the flower’s symbolism and suddenly decided to buy one on a whim!"
