Chapter 1379 - 1233: Our Destiny
Song Yansheng confessed his long-standing admiration for Shi Nuan, but he didn’t dare to say it started in his youth.
He also didn’t dare to say that during his seven years in America, he arranged for Qin Ran to protect her in China.
He didn’t dare to mention that during those seven years, she was stalked and secretly photographed, all because he was in America, thinking about her every moment.
He asked Shi Nuan if she was touched. Yet he was once so afraid that Shi Nuan would be moved, maybe even join him because of it.
Now, after six months of being together with Shi Nuan, their feelings are in sync, emotions stable, and even... mutual affection and admiration.
He naturally understood that this mutual affection and admiration were far from the life-and-death commitment he desired, so now he dared to confess part of the truth.
This time, when Shi Nuan faced danger, Shen Zui saved her. Whether Shi Nuan still has feelings for Shen Zui or not now, there must be gratitude.
She was grateful to Shen Zui, but what about him? As a husband, he failed to appear to protect her when she needed him.
What would she think in her heart?
He wanted to completely remove Shen Zui from her heart, whether it was feelings or gratitude.
If his deep feelings for her over the years could touch her, could lock her heart and being firmly with him,
he was willing to do it.
Shi Nuan didn’t expect Song Yansheng’s admission to come so quickly, leaving her a bit at a loss.
Song Yansheng had admired her for a long time? Does it mean he liked her eight years ago?
But eight years ago, she was only thirteen!
Taking a breath, Shi Nuan said: "So, Second Uncle... did Second Uncle fall in love with me at first sight back then?"
She didn’t quite believe that Song Yansheng, who was twenty-one at the time, would like a thirteen-year-old girl.
Song Yansheng replied: "I saw you when you were little. After returning to the country, because... of your grandfather’s connection, I paid attention to you and wanted to help you, but at that time, I had just started TK, I was overwhelmed, and also had many unknown dangers around me so it was inconvenient to appear before you. Later... after observing you for a long time, seeing more of you, I thought you were a very nice girl, and I liked you..."
Shi Nuan blushed: "Second Uncle means, eight years ago, you were secretly... observing me from the shadows?"
Song Yansheng laughed: "Sort of, occasionally when I had time, I’d go to your school gate to see you. Yes, I even sent you umbrellas three times, bought you breakfast twenty-one times. I wonder if you still remember..."
"Breakfast? Umbrella?" Shi Nuan blinked.
As she recalled fragments of the past, her heart was startled: "So those breakfasts you bought? I... I always thought it was Sister Xia..."
As for the umbrella, Shi Nuan had some memory of it. Indeed, there were a few times back then when it suddenly rained outside, and she didn’t have an umbrella.
Every time she furrowed her brow, not knowing what to do, she’d either find an umbrella or a stranger would give her one.
But whether it was breakfast or umbrellas, it seemed to happen when she was between thirteen and fifteen years old...
Song Yansheng said: "Because when you were fifteen... at fifteen, you got a boyfriend..."
He chuckled bitterly, "At that time, I was really envious of Shen Zui, but I knew our age difference was always an obstacle, especially since you were so young, so I decided to withdraw and bless you..."
Shi Nuan didn’t know what to say for a while, she never knew she had unknowingly hurt Song Yansheng like that.
After a while, she softly said, "I’m sorry..."
Song Yansheng smiled and said: "Don’t apologize, back then you didn’t know me, no need to say sorry. We can only say that fate wasn’t with us at the time, but eventually, heaven opened its eyes because now, you’ve married me..."
Shi Nuan lowered her eyes, and only at this moment did she understand why Song Yansheng insisted on marrying her back then.
Everything she couldn’t fathom, didn’t dare to think about, seemed to have answers now.
Song Yansheng actually liked her; the one he always liked was her...
It sounds just like a dream!
But...
Shi Nuan pursed her lips before speaking: "Then Second Uncle five years ago... when he created the Song Mansion, there were rumors it was your wedding house, but five years ago, I and Second Uncle seemed..."
Shi Nuan didn’t know how to continue, but Song Yansheng should understand.
Five years ago, she and Shen Zui hadn’t parted ways, why was Song Yansheng so sure he’d marry her in the future?
Even go as far as to build a wedding house for it?
Did he foresee that she and Shen Zui wouldn’t last, or was there another reason?
