Chapter 386 To Hell with Promises
This wine is home-brewed and has quite a kick. Although Shi Nuan can hold her liquor well, she still feels her cheeks are hot after drinking.
She reached out to touch them, a little feverish. Song Yansheng’s dark eyes looked at her intensely and asked, "Are you a bit tipsy?"
Shi Nuan gently shook her head, "I’m alright, just... just a bit tired!"
In truth, it’s not the body that’s tired, but the mind. There were too many things that happened today, some of which she still found hard to accept even now!
She was very tired, truly exhausted, but she had no idea how to ease this fatigue.
Song Yansheng said, "If you’re tired, then go upstairs to rest first, alright?"
Shi Nuan nodded, "Okay!"
Having understood her own feelings before facing Song Yansheng again, Shi Nuan indeed had many hesitations, so she had no reason to object to this suggestion.
Song Yansheng had Aunt Hui help her upstairs, and she didn’t refuse.
After Shi Nuan went upstairs, Song Yansheng sat in the dining room for about five minutes, then left to go upstairs, heading to the study.
The lights in the study were turned on. He walked to the settee where Shi Nuan usually liked to read and sat down.
His fingers touched the texture of the blanket on the settee. It seemed like it still had Shi Nuan’s warmth.
Of course, this was an illusion.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, and with a click, a blue flame leapt from the lighter, igniting the tobacco.
He sat there, gazing at the night outside the floor-to-ceiling window, silently smoking.
The smoke swirled around him, giving his silhouette a somewhat desolate look, but his slightly furrowed brows clearly exposed his emotions.
He recalled what Qiao Yichi had said to him earlier in the office.
Don’t harm innocent people...
Qiao Yichi hadn’t been very explicit, but he clearly understood that the innocent person he referred to was Shi Nuan!
Qiao Yichi said, "Have you ever thought, since you and Shi Nuan are married, if you could have a child, maybe everything would be different!"
Sometimes, love may not keep a woman, but a child might!
Without a doubt, Qiao Yichi offered a very good plan, and one that is highly feasible!
However, Qiao Yichi did not know that he and Shi Nuan had an agreement for Xiao Chuan Shouqi, and there were only two days left!
Two days, is that long?
Too long!
Because in the next two days, Shi Nuan would be interning at the Shi Family every day, and Shen Zui could find her anytime, anywhere!
He couldn’t wait until two days later; he didn’t want to wait a moment!
A promise?
Does drunken misconduct need to be bound by these? To hell with promises!
After all, he is Xiao Chuan’s Second Uncle, and Shi Nuan is his wife, which makes her Xiao Chuan’s Aunt...
An Aunt is considered an elder; which elder keeps a mourning period for their junior!
The mourning period has been observed for forty-seven days already, and that’s long enough!
Song Yansheng smoked three cigarettes, then got up and took a shower in the study’s bathroom.
The speed was fast, taking no more than ten minutes from start to finish.
Then he turned off the lights in the study and headed directly towards the bedroom.
The study wasn’t far from the bedroom, and he reached it quickly, reaching out to turn the doorknob.
The room was lit, though not very brightly, probably a light Shi Nuan left on for him.
His chest inexplicably softened, and his gaze fell on Shi Nuan, who was asleep on her side on the bed.
Shi Nuan was wearing pajamas, likely having taken a bath.
Earlier, her cheeks were a rosy red, most likely from the alcohol. The wine brewed by his mother—aside from Father and him—basically made others drunk after three glasses!
Shi Nuan had certainly had more than three glasses tonight!
Song Yansheng walked to the bedside, sat down, and looked at the little woman asleep with her eyes closed, gently calling, "Nuannuan?"
