Chapter 1421 - 1247: Because You Love Each Other
"Lady Ji, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
A woman’s voice came from behind, her words were caring, but the tone carried some mockery and ridicule.
This woman was also one of those who admired Song Yansheng a few months ago, but Song Yansheng was too unattainable, so she accepted her family’s arrangements and succeeded in a blind date with a young and talented man.
Unexpectedly, after Ji Xiangling returned to the country, rumors about Song Yansheng followed one after another.
The news reports had stirred the gossip about Ji Xiangling and Song Yansheng being together to a frenzy.
At that time, the woman still had feelings for Song Yansheng, and naturally felt upset reading those reports and listening to those rumors.
Especially because she didn’t like Ji Xiangling very much; she felt that this woman was too arrogant and pretentious, and she never believed Ji Xiangling and Song Yansheng would make a pair.
And now, Song Yansheng openly admitted his relationship with Shi Nuan in front of so many people.
During the previous wedding banquet, she had joined her boyfriend to toast Shi Yuanbo, where Shi Nuan stood beside him.
At the time, she thought this young lady was gentle and indeed beautiful, but her beauty wasn’t obtrusive and felt quite pleasant.
It happened that a waiter came to serve drinks to the guests, and the position she stood in was perhaps not right; if Shi Nuan hadn’t reached out to block it, a glass of red wine on the waiter’s tray could’ve spilled on her.
She admired Song Yansheng and knew she would never have Song Yansheng, also understanding that Song Yansheng wouldn’t remain unmarried and without a woman for life.
But if choosing between Ji Xiangling and Shi Nuan, she would unhesitatingly choose Shi Nuan.
Seeing Ji Xiangling in disarray upon hearing of Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan’s relationship made her feel quite pleased, so she intentionally came over to add to Ji Xiangling’s distress.
Ji Xiangling heard the woman’s words, glanced at her, said nothing, and staggered into the venue.
The woman shrugged, suddenly finding it uninteresting, but also noticed Ji Xiangling had suffered quite a blow.
Ji Xiangling indeed suffered a significant blow, at this moment, she really wanted to question Song Yansheng: "Why did you say it out loud, why did you say it out loud, such a shameful relationship, how dare you speak it out..."
Her eyes fixed on Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan surrounded by people’s gaze, her heart slowly bleeding.
She hated herself for being so arrogant and stubborn back then.
Since she followed him abroad for seven years, since she endured it for all those seven years.
Why didn’t she follow him back when he returned to the country?
Why did she leave in a huff because of his few words, and left for six years...
She thought she had refined herself enough to be his match, he must be hers.
But now, she is excellent, beautiful, independent, elegant, with a decent career and fame, a presence all men admire...
Yet he is bewitched by a fresh graduate, so smitten he marries her quietly!
That could be ignored, but why did he need to announce it? Why did he need to say it?
Doesn’t he know the consequences of saying it are severe? Doesn’t he understand that once this spreads, the business community in T City will be in an uproar?
For Shi Nuan, is he really willing to risk everything? Does he really love Shi Nuan that much? Does he?
...
Song Yansheng took in everyone’s attitudes and expressions around him.
But he merely glanced lightly and whispered to the person in his arms, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here!"
Shi Nuan was startled for a moment, looked up at him, Song Yansheng smiled slightly and reached out to adjust her bangs, "It’s disheveled."
Shi Nuan’s heart felt warm for a moment.
Alright, she thought, alright.
Since it would eventually be made public, what’s the difference between sooner or later?
She was once engaged to Song Yichuan, her fiancé had died less than half a year ago.
She married her deceased fiancé’s uncle...
These are facts, regardless of how long it’s been, an unforgettable fact...
Since it can’t be forgotten, sooner or later it’s all the same, isn’t it?
She lowered her brows, gently biting her lip, said, "Second Uncle, let’s... go home!"
Song Yansheng’s dark eyes overflowed with tenderness, and he nodded lightly, "Alright, let’s go home!"
"But, I seem to feel my legs are a bit weak!"
Facing so many eyes watching, she just thought about unpleasant things, she was genuinely scared.
