Chapter 493: Aloofness Isn’t Cold-Heartedness

Five years, or perhaps in even longer years past, he finally awaited that person.

Two months ago, when marrying Shi Nuan, he thought that moment should be the happiest of his life.

He also believed that since Shi Nuan had married him, only happiness and joy would await them in the future.

But two months have passed, and their relationship has still reached such an icy point.

Thin lips moved slightly, his brow furrowed deeper than before, and he just stood by the window, gazing out for who knows how long.

...

When Yu Yao arrived, Shi Nuan had already gotten out of bed, preparing to change clothes and go downstairs for a walk.

The weather outside was exceptionally good, and she didn’t want to stay cooped up in the bedroom. Going out for a walk would be nice.

Upon learning that Yu Yao was here, she was startled, hurriedly found an outfit and dressed neatly before leaving the bedroom.

Coincidentally, she just happened to see Song Yansheng.

He was just reaching the end of the corridor at the staircase, seemingly intending to go downstairs.

Maybe he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned his head to glance at her.

A man as handsome and elegant as this, with an expressionless gaze, thin lips tightly pressed, his expression was unclear.

She opened her mouth, wanting to call out: "Second Uncle..."

But before making a sound, Song Yansheng had already turned away indifferently and calmly descended the stairs.

Shi Nuan’s heart suddenly trembled, exhaling slightly before stepping towards the staircase.

...

When Yu Yao arrived, the first she saw was her son Song Yansheng, intending to ask about Shi Nuan, and Shi Nuan’s figure already appeared at the staircase.

Yu Yao gazed at Shi Nuan’s thin, weary face with a bit of distress, and as soon as Shi Nuan came down, she grabbed her hand, asking nonstop.

Song Yansheng stood silently by the side, not saying a word.

Yu Yao hadn’t yet eaten, so she asked Aunt Hui to prepare a meal, Shi Nuan awkwardly replied: "Mom, I... I’ve already eaten!"

Aunt Hui explained from the side, saying she had previously delivered a meal to Shi Nuan in her bedroom.

Yu Yao understood, "In that case, you should return to your room to rest more, I’ll accompany A Yu to eat!"

Shi Nuan said: "I want to go for a walk!"

The weather outside was nice, and Yu Yao didn’t stop her, smiling: "That’s fine too, it’s not dark yet outside, the late sunset is also a nice scenery, go ahead!"

Shi Nuan nodded, stood up, and headed outside, Yu Yao watched Shi Nuan’s back, ultimately sighed softly.

So frail and quiet, so much like Xu Hua back then, but compared to Xu Hua, she had an extra share of loneliness and silence.

It made one’s heart ache all the more.

Shi Nuan left the room, and only then did Yu Yao turn to look at her son, but his gaze kept following Shi Nuan’s departing figure, slightly lost.

At dinner, Yu Yao dismissed all servants in the dining room, including Aunt Hui, eating quietly, then asked her son: "A Yu, has something happened between you and Nuannuan?"

Song Yansheng slightly moved his thin lips, then lightly shook his head, saying: "No!"

Yu Yao frowned: "A Yu, I am your mother, do you still need to hide from me?"

Song Yansheng maintained a composed expression and kept silent.

Yu Yao said again: "Feelings are not as simple as you think, especially between you and Nuannuan. Although you’ve cherished her for many years, to her, she’s only known you for two months. Your emotions are overwhelming, she’s young and doesn’t know you well enough, it’s normal that she can’t accept you so quickly... but A Yu, you have to believe, although Nuannuan is quiet, she’s not a cold-hearted person. If you are truly good to her, she won’t fail to feel it!"
