Chapter 548: Warm to the Touch

Shi Nuan blinked, looking at the deep black in Song Yansheng’s eyes, and her heart began to flutter unsteadily.

Here was Dong Garden, and besides her and Song Yansheng, there was no one else. If Song Yansheng were to act recklessly, she really wouldn’t have a way to stop him.

She steady her breath and said, "Second Uncle, now... now it’s time to cook!"

At this time, it was at least after half-past five. By the time they finished cooking and eating, it would already be late.

She hoped that Song Yansheng was just teasing her and not intending to do anything...

The man smirked lightly, one hand brushing the locks of hair on Shi Nuan’s forehead, the warmth from his fingertips pressing on her forehead.

The touch was warm.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, Nuannuan means... after dinner, it’s okay?"

"..." Shi Nuan gritted her teeth. When did she ever say that!

But Song Yansheng continued self-assuredly, "Alright then, I’ll let you go for now. Let’s finish cooking first, okay?"

Shi Nuan blushed and responded, because what else could she do?

And he said they will cook together for dinner, which relieved a bit of her worry. She truly feared that she would embarrass this prominent businessman with poor cooking.

As Song Yansheng finally released her and the scent of tobacco faded away, Shi Nuan managed to find her heartbeat again.

Song Yansheng handed her a cup of tea from the table: "Dinner can wait, have a cup of tea and rest a bit first!"

Shi Nuan obliged and took the cup.

Shi Nuan didn’t know much about tea, but she could tell this was Golden Bud. She faintly remembered having it before.

But she couldn’t recall where exactly she drank it.

It felt like a long, long time ago.

Seeing Shi Nuan lower her brows in thought, Song Yansheng asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shi Nuan made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Nothing, just think this tea tastes pretty good!"

Song Yansheng nodded, "I had Uncle Wu prepare it, thought... you might like it!"

He wouldn’t mention that years ago, Father sent Old Sir Xu a box of the finest Golden Bud.

Back then, six-year-old Shi Nuan clamored to drink it, and her grandmother thought it wasn’t good for such a young child to drink tea leaves.

But the old sir was straightforward, saying, "What’s wrong with it? If my granddaughter likes it, then it must be good!"

So Shi Nuan drank several cups at that time, appearing to enjoy it very much.

But there was a consequence too. It was said that Shi Nuan had a stomachache that night and was up all night.

Despite her young age, Shi Nuan was quite shrewd, and she didn’t say that her stomachache was because she ate mulberries brought back by the Xu Family servant.

She was afraid the servant wouldn’t dare bring them for her again in the future, and didn’t want to get the servant in trouble either.

So she said it was because she drank the tea.

Since then, the old sir never drank Golden Bud in front of Shi Nuan again.

Even later in the Shi Family, Shi Yuanbo rarely bought that tea.

When Father Song Xiuwen heard about this, he even went to the Xu Family personally to apologize.

As Father left, a doll-like six-year-old girl tugged at his coat, a bit guilty, saying, "Uncle, my stomachache wasn’t because of your tea..."

When Father came home and told him and Mother about Shi Nuan’s incident, he laughed heartily.

He said, "Old Sir’s little granddaughter is something else, so young yet knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and already knows how to protect... Old Sir’s second daughter Xu Jing has been away for two years, and whether she’ll return is still unknown. I’m afraid with how much Old Sir dotes on his little granddaughter, he might be considering handing the Xu Group to this little girl in the future!"
