Chapter 700: I Don’t Want to Cause Myself Trouble
Upon hearing Shi Nuan’s words, Shen Zui had a fleeting moment of wanting to sneer.
Yes, more than three years had passed, and many things should be let go of, especially since Shi Nuan was first with Song Yichuan after he left, and now it’s Song Yansheng...
He wasn’t someone who liked to dwell on the past, but when it came to Shi Nuan, so long had passed and he still couldn’t let go.
Shi Nuan wanted him to move on, but how could he?
If he could move on, why would he come back after nearly four years?
"That’s my business..." In the end, the only answer he could give Shi Nuan was this.
He said, "Nuannuan, Song Yansheng is not your ideal match, you are always wise, how could you not know?"
Shi Nuan lowered her brows slightly and said softly, "Shen Zui, you are also not my ideal match..."
Shen Zui’s eyes narrowed, and his chest felt as if it had been given a heavy blow, that kind of pain instantaneously spreading to every part of his body.
It hurt too much, really too much.
It hurt so much that he couldn’t even breathe.
Seeing Shen Zui’s pale face, Shi Nuan had a moment of reluctance, but she knew she couldn’t be soft-hearted.
Shi Jiaojiao indeed made her quite displeased, but there was one thing she said that was right.
Song Yansheng is not someone to be trifled with; if Shen Zui offended Song Yansheng because of her, it indeed would be very dangerous.
She had already made a choice for her life, and that choice was Song Yansheng.
As for Shen Zui, or anyone else, she didn’t want to get entangled anymore.
She had tasted the cruelty of fate many years ago.
And now she just wanted to have a little more self-preservation apart from experiencing this cruelty.
Song Yansheng was the only person who could protect her.
Moreover, she had already fallen in love with Song Yansheng, hopelessly in love.
Shen Zui’s reminder had long been useless.
She took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Shen Zui, I’m leaving first, as for you and Shi Jiaojiao... I hope you know what you’re doing..."
Shen Zui didn’t reply, just kept staring at her with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.
But as Shi Nuan said, she was twenty-one now, no longer fifteen, he couldn’t see through her anymore.
And he would never have the chance to see through her again.
Shi Nuan’s lips moved slightly, once again gently uttering two words: "Goodbye... No, let’s not meet again, let’s live our own lives well!"
Shi Nuan left, Shen Zui watched her back, wanting to say something, but what could he say?
He didn’t know.
Because he couldn’t retain what he’d like to keep, nor could he leave what he’d like to escape...
He was really a very defeated person, but he didn’t lose to Song Yansheng.
Instead, he lost to this woman named Shi Nuan...
...
The matter of Ji Yunjin and Ji Xiangling visiting the Song Mansion was eventually known to Yu Yao.
Yu Yao and Ji Yunjin were longtime friends, she had even helped their mother and daughter back in the day, and upon hearing that they left without even having dinner, Yu Yao naturally had her opinions.
She called her son, thinking that he should apologize to their mother and daughter, regardless of his relationship with Xiangling, some etiquettes shouldn’t be lost.
Song Yansheng paused, then said, "Mom, do you think it will be useful if I apologize?"
Yu Yao was taken aback and didn’t know what to say.
Song Yansheng said, "Aunt Ji has indeed supported our Song Family a lot over the years, the favors that should be returned, I’ve almost repaid over these past years. If not for this, I wouldn’t have agreed to let Nuannuan walk the runway for her, but Mom..."
Song Yansheng paused, then said, "I don’t want to cause trouble for myself, you understand what I mean!"
