Chapter 1473 - 1266: How Did It Turn Out Like This (2)
He remembered what Qi Ruison said: "If you like her, just go for it. Who cares if she’s an adult or not? Just take precautions and be responsible for her in the future. Unless you plan to leave Shi Nuan. If that’s the case, then I won’t say anything!"
Shen Zui never thought that one day he would leave Shi Nuan.
He said he wanted to be with Shi Nuan for a lifetime, and it wasn’t a lie.
Of course, he wanted to possess Shi Nuan for another main reason: he felt too insecure.
He always felt that Shi Nuan didn’t love him as much as he thought, or might not love him at all.
Occasionally, he felt that Shi Nuan was looking for someone else through him, although he hoped it was an illusion.
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, as if she struggled for a moment, then said, "If you really can’t control yourself, then... then don’t restrain yourself!"
At that moment, Shen Zui wasn’t sure what he felt; his entire breath heated up.
Shi Nuan instinctively shrank back; that moment with Shen Zui warmed her, and she needed to admit it.
She had walked a solitary life for five years, from eleven to sixteen, a long five years.
She also longed, longed for a completely different life, longed for another family member, a home.
Shen Zui was so good; if she didn’t hold onto him, who else could she grasp in the future?
Grandpa, mom, dad, she couldn’t keep any of them, could she?
In the darkness, Shen Zui looked into her eyes. The black, kind eyes made his breath unstable.
In the end, he couldn’t hold back. He leaned in and kissed Shi Nuan on the forehead, then the eyes, the nose tip, the cheeks...
Just as he was about to kiss her lips, a phone ringtone interrupted—it was Shen Zui’s phone.
Shen Zui sat up with a slight frown to get the phone, and at that moment, Shi Nuan realized something, quickly getting up, saying: "You... you answer the phone, I’ll go to the bathroom!"
The call was from Shen Zui’s sister, Shen Jiu’er.
Shen Zui hadn’t gone home today, so Shen Jiu’er, concerned about her brother, had to check in.
She naturally didn’t know she had interrupted her brother’s important moment.
Shen Zui used Qi Ruison as a scapegoat to deal with Shen Jiu’er and started waiting for Shi Nuan.
But after a few minutes, there was no sign of Shi Nuan coming out of the bathroom.
He felt worried and knocked on the bathroom door, fearing he had scared Shi Nuan earlier, making her nervous.
In the bathroom, there was no sound from Shi Nuan for quite a while.
Shen Zui got more anxious and worried, and just when he was about to kick open the door, Shi Nuan’s voice finally came—
She said, "Shen Zui, can you... buy something for me? My... my period just came!"
...
Song Yansheng asked Shi Nuan if she had ever thought of giving herself to Shen Zui.
Shi Nuan couldn’t deny it, because that night of that year, she indeed had thought about it.
Even though in the end nothing happened, the truth was there, and she didn’t want to lie to Song Yansheng.
But how did Song Yansheng know about this?
She suddenly thought of Shen Zui’s call just now, so had someone used those bamboo sticks and her past interactions with Shen Zui to cause trouble?
Who? Was it Ji Xiangling? Or Chu Jingyun? Or someone else?
Shi Nuan took a deep breath, got up from the kitchen door, and went to the study to find Song Yansheng.
The study door was closed, and she knocked, but there was no response from inside.
She frowned, knocking and calling out, "Second Uncle, are you in there? I know you’re in there, open the door and let me in!"
The person inside didn’t respond.
Shi Nuan didn’t give up and continued knocking, saying, "Second Uncle, open the door first, it’s all a misunderstanding, open the door and listen to my explanation..."
There was still no response from inside.
Shi Nuan bit her lip; Song Yansheng had never been like this before.
That meant he was really angry.
Alright, he’s in a fit of anger, and he’s been drinking, maybe explaining now isn’t a good time.
Shi Nuan sighed, turned around to leave.
But just as she took a step, the study door suddenly opened.
She was stunned, turned around to see Song Yansheng standing at the door.
Song Yansheng looked at her coolly, and Shi Nuan hastily called out, "Second Uncle..."
Song Yansheng’s thin lips moved, but he said nothing, turning back into the study.
Shi Nuan quickly followed and closed the door behind her.
Song Yansheng walked to the sofa chair and sat down, as Shi Nuan sat across from him.
Song Yansheng picked up the cup of tea by his hand and asked indifferently, "Didn’t you say you wanted to explain? I’m listening!"
Song Yansheng had never shown such an attitude towards Shi Nuan in the past six months.
Such a Song Yansheng made Shi Nuan a bit unable to accept.
