Chapter 656: I Missed Second Uncle So Much Last Night
This evening, Shi Nuan didn’t have a great appetite, didn’t eat much, and went straight upstairs after dinner.
Upstairs, she searched some material online, drank the milk brought by Aunt Hui, and then washed up before lying down.
The time then was around half past nine in the evening.
Song Yansheng still hadn’t returned.
Shi Nuan turned off the lights and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering when Song Yansheng would come back.
Or perhaps, at this moment, he was already on his way back.
Just like that, intentionally or unintentionally, she waited until nearly eleven, yet Song Yansheng still hadn’t returned.
By then, Shi Nuan was already feeling sleepy.
She trusted Song Yansheng, believing that he must have been delayed by some unexpected matters.
Without thinking much, she fell asleep.
Later, she fell into a fuzzy sleep, and amidst this foggy state, she didn’t feel the warmth and presence beside her.
That night, Shi Nuan, for the first time in days, didn’t sleep quite soundly.
The next morning, Shi Nuan woke up, probably around six o’clock.
She opened her eyes and saw a gentle and smiling handsome face.
Who else could it be but Song Yansheng?
Shi Nuan was momentarily stunned, unsure of what to say.
Song Yansheng was wearing pajamas, but didn’t look like he had slept, as his hair was still slightly damp.
He looked more like someone who just showered.
Just returned? Or got up early specially to shower?
Now it’s just past six o’clock, clearly, the former possibility is greater!
"Second Uncle didn’t return last night, did he?"
Shi Nuan asked softly, her tone cautious.
She feared that raising her voice slightly might sound like questioning.
Like a domineering wife questioning a husband for coming home late or not at all.
Song Yansheng softly replied "Mm" and extended a clean, slender hand to brush Shi Nuan’s messy long hair.
He said, "The banquet was supposed to end around nine o’clock in the evening, but then there was a call. There’s an issue with an investment project in S City, so I had to rush overnight to deal with it..."
S City...
It’s about two hours by plane from T City.
All this to and fro took four hours, Song Yansheng spent almost the whole night on the road...
She hurriedly said, "Then, Second Uncle, you... you should rest quickly, it’s Saturday, it’s just the time..."
Before Shi Nuan finished her sentence, Song Yansheng suddenly extended his hand, gently pulling Shi Nuan into his embrace.
Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment, then called softly, "Second Uncle..."
Song Yansheng answered, holding Shi Nuan’s frail body tighter, and said, "I finished everything at two-thirty in the morning. Chi Rui suggested I stay in S City overnight and return in the morning, but no, I couldn’t. I missed Nuannuan, and I feared Nuannuan would miss me.
At that hour, there were no flights, only high-speed trains, so I took the train back. It took over three hours, then drove back to Song Mansion. I wanted to be by Nuannuan’s side before she woke up. I was concerned that if she didn’t see me, she’d miss me. Fortunately, I made it...
So, Nuannuan, did you think of me last night?"
Did you think of me last night?
It wasn’t the first time Song Yansheng asked if Shi Nuan missed him, but it was the first time he elaborated so much just to ask her if she did.
Rushing back through wind and dust just to be by her side, such affection genuinely moved Shi Nuan.
She reached out, gently wrapped her arms around the man’s solid and broad waist, and softly spoke, "Miss... I missed Second Uncle very much last night!"
