Chapter 1474 - 1266: How Did It Come to This_3
She took a deep breath and said, "Second Uncle, do you really care so much about Shen Zui?"
Song Yansheng squinted his eyes slightly, "So you think that my current attitude is entirely dependent on my concern for Shen Zui?"
At this moment, Shi Nuoxin felt a bit angry, especially being hurt by Song Yansheng’s expression. She suddenly felt that explanations were meaningless.
Bamboo sticks, almost crossing the line with Shen Zui—those are all parts of the past. Song Yansheng hadn’t appeared at that time; they both lived their own lives, not disturbing each other. Even if she had a past, what did it matter?
Shi Nuan was unaware that, although those pasts could hurt Song Yansheng, the real reason behind his anger today was the photos of Shi Nuan and Shen Zui embracing...
The past is terrifying, but he tried hard to self-soothe, to prevent himself from thinking about it, and forced himself not to blame himself.
However, if the deep feelings of the past are infinitely connected to the tender emotions of the present, the resulting sparks can be almost destructive.
After hearing Song Yansheng’s words, Shi Nuan’s voice sank, "Isn’t that so? You always cared about Shen Zui, even before he appeared. You’ve never trusted me and can’t possibly trust me. Because Shen Zui, he has a past you never had. Shen Zui was once my boyfriend of three years..."
Shi Nuan’s eyelashes trembled, her heart suddenly aching with bitterness.
She said, "Second Uncle, you are older than me, and you understand better that without trust and understanding between a couple, it can be terrifying. I can’t erase my past; if you can accept it, accept it. If not, there’s nothing I can do. Alternatively, you can choose a woman whose memories from youth until now contain no other boys but just you, like Ji Xiangling and Chu Jingyun, right?"
Song Yansheng looked at Shi Nuan’s expression and suddenly laughed.
He said, "Yes, Nuannuan is right. Trust and understanding between a couple are very important, which is why I’ve always accommodated Nuannuan, trying not to worry about many things, forcing myself to believe in Nuannuan. But can Nuannuan honestly say that she hasn’t secretly met with Shen Zui? That she hasn’t had any intimate interactions with Shen Zui? Really, hasn’t she? If Nuannuan says no, I won’t say anything else now. I’ll immediately apologize to Nuannuan in front of all the servants of the Song Mansion!"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flashed, and she asked, "Second Uncle, do you know that I’ve met Shen Zui privately and even seen intimate interactions between us, is that why you’re acting this way? But even if we met, there’s really nothing between Shen Zui and me, he’s leaving soon, I really..."
"I understand..." Song Yansheng interrupted Shi Nuan, saying, "Nuannuan, you don’t need to say more, I really understand. Any relationship, to forget and rebuild, takes time. Shen Zui was with you for three years, I have no reason to mind, but Nuannuan, I don’t want you to meet Shen Zui, especially behind my back, do you understand? Do you understand?"
"But there’s really nothing between us, whether we met behind your back or not, nothing is nothing. Whether Second Uncle chooses to believe or not, what I should say, what I can say, is just this much..."
Song Yansheng suddenly sneered, "So, is this Nuannuan’s so-called explanation?"
Shi Nuan felt a chill in her heart; she suddenly stood up from the sofa, saying, "Since Second Uncle believes this is not an explanation, then it’s not an explanation. Second Uncle, go ahead with your tasks, I’m going to sleep!"
After Shi Nuan finished speaking, she turned and was about to leave the study room.
Song Yansheng held a cup of water in his hand, sitting there, watching Shi Nuan’s back, and something like a flame seemed to ignite in his heart.
He opened his mouth wanting to say something, but what should he say?
He had nothing to say.
He hoped Shi Nuan would say something, but Shi Nuan had already decided to leave.
He felt anxious, restless, at a loss.
At the moment Shi Nuan opened the door to leave, in his panic, he suddenly flung the cup in his hand to the ground.
Shi Nuan was startled and turned to look at Song Yansheng.
But she didn’t say anything, and her expression remained very light and calm.
Then she turned around and left the study.
Soon, Song Yansheng was the only person left in the study room.
He sat there, the whole person in a state of confusion and helplessness.
He reached out wanting to grasp something, but his hands were empty.
His mind was chaotic, his head ached, his heart was irritable.
A voice kept spinning countless times in his mind—
How did it come to this, how did it come to this!
