Chapter 703: Second Uncle, You Finally Came Back
In Song Yansheng’s view, even though Shi Nuan has developed feelings for him, when faced with the grandeur of his affection, she might still feel uneasy, timid, or even under immense pressure.
Three years ago, due to unavoidable reasons, she got engaged to Xiao Chuan.
In his heart, he believes Shi Nuan doesn’t love Xiao Chuan romantically, yet despite this, she was willing to stay by Xiao Chuan’s side for three years.
If Xiao Chuan were still around, she would surely continue to stay by his side.
She is just such a kind and stubborn girl, a girl that makes his heart ache.
He hopes that in front of him, at least in front of him, she can be authentic and genuine.
He is now giving her a choice, wanting to know whether her feelings for him are more rational than emotional, or if, like him, her emotions surpass reason.
To what extent does she like him?
What is she willing to give up for him, or perhaps stand up for herself to fight for?
The phone was silent for a long while, before Shi Nuan’s voice finally came through.
Shi Nuan said, "If Second Uncle has a female companion by his side... would Second Uncle drink less?"
In Shi Nuan’s understanding, the public relations department is filled with beautiful women with excellent social skills, naturally, they can hold their liquor well too.
She didn’t want Song Yansheng to think of her as petty, and found herself a reason to broaden her own mind.
But when Song Yansheng heard these words, they held a different meaning.
He smiled faintly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but it wasn’t obvious.
After saying "okay," he hung up the phone.
Holding the phone, Shi Nuan felt a bit uneasy, but marrying a man like Song Yansheng inherently meant there were many things she had to endure.
Bringing a female companion to social events was already the most basic expectation; if she couldn’t accept even this, what would the future hold?
That day, Shi Nuan took a car back to Song Mansion alone, and after dinner in the evening, she went straight upstairs.
Aunt Hui felt that Shi Nuan had something on her mind, but didn’t dare to ask.
After returning to her bedroom, Shi Nuan washed up simply and sat on the sofa reading.
She occasionally checked the time, without even realizing it herself, she was waiting for Song Yansheng.
She was wondering if Song Yansheng really brought a female companion.
If he did, the woman standing next to Song Yansheng must be very beautiful.
Would there be some intimate gestures between the two?
Even if not, being a female companion, lightly holding Song Yansheng’s arm should be the most basic, right!
Shi Nuan felt a bit disoriented, thinking she shouldn’t have pretended to be generous; she should have just refused directly!
What a... regretful decision!
That evening, Song Yansheng returned at around half past ten, smelling lightly of alcohol, not too heavy, but God knows he actually drank quite a bit tonight.
He didn’t linger downstairs but headed straight upstairs, slightly hesitating when he saw the dim light coming from the bedroom.
He pushed open the door and walked in, finding the light was indeed on, and Shi Nuan was asleep, but not in bed.
Her small body was curled up on the sofa, with a book beside her, sleeping peacefully.
He sighed softly, walking over quietly, and gently picked her up.
His actions were indeed gentle, but Shi Nuan still woke up.
She opened her dark eyes, meeting the sight of an exceptionally handsome yet somewhat dreamy face of the man.
She was a bit dazed, softly calling him, "Second Uncle..."
Song Yansheng’s heart, once again, softened into mush, he responded softly, "Did I wake you?"
Shi Nuan shook her head, reaching out to hook his neck, her small head nestled in his embrace.
Murmuring, "You finally came back..."
Song Yansheng’s heart just involuntarily trembled...
