Chapter 1447 - 1257: Heartless Passage of Time, Chill to the Human Heart_3
"But I like gardenias because of my mother. Second Uncle seems to have not given up; instead, he has planted them wherever you’ve lived..."
Song Yansheng smiled, "Yes, but I know some things are beyond my control. Nuannuan loves gardenias, loves reading, loves quietness because of her mother-in-law, and those are things I can’t control..."
Shi Nuan understood, "Second Uncle knows I can’t forget my mother’s death. Whether or not there are gardenias, I can’t forget. What is supposedly beyond control is actually Second Uncle indulging me, and I’m very grateful to him..."
Song Yansheng held Shi Nuan’s hand and said with some sigh, "It seems Nuannuan calling me Second Uncle is still a habit. Well, if Nuannuan loves to call me that, then let it be our private affectionate nickname, but in front of outsiders, Nuannuan should be cautious..."
Shi Nuan was a bit dazed, but indeed, she was used to calling him that, and it’s hard to change.
Strangely, she found it hard to change only the way she addressed Song Yansheng; with others, she managed easily.
Oh well, since Song Yansheng no longer insists, she won’t force herself either.
At noon, Song Qingyang and Yu Dou stayed at the mansion for lunch, and the atmosphere at the dining table was quite good.
But amidst the good atmosphere, there was always something else hidden within.
So, not long after the meal, Song Qingyang made an excuse about having something in the afternoon and left with Yu Dou.
Shi Nuan watched the two figures from the second-floor balcony, sighing somewhat.
The marriage between Yu Dou and Song Qingyang reminded her of the time she married Song Yansheng.
Marrying someone you don’t love is indeed a hard thing to accept.
But, unlike Song Qingyang, she had no choice at that time.
As for Song Qingyang... Song Qingyang actually had a choice.
As for Yu Dou, she still couldn’t understand why he married Song Qingyang.
Although Ou Xiaoning asked her, she gave him an answer, but that answer didn’t even convince herself.
Ji Xia’s call came at that time.
She picked up the call, hearing Ji Xia’s voice.
The call lasted less than two minutes before Shi Nuan hung up.
She just stood on the balcony, looking at the flowers, grass, and trees of the Song Family Mansion, gazing at the distant Anshan, watching the forest shivering in the autumn wind.
After a long time, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
Ji Xia said Lv Nan Nan admitted that Shen Zui contacted her beforehand, orchestrating this entire scene.
Ji Xia also said Lv Nan Nan regretted her breakup with Shen Zui and helped him for that reason.
Ji Xia further said Lv Nan Nan didn’t know Shi Nuan had married Song Yansheng. She now regrets and feels she shouldn’t have helped Shen Zui.
Ji Xia added Lv Nan Nan mentioned that Song Yansheng had suspicions about Shen Zui, even went to confront him, and had a fight with Shen Zui, but Shen Zui denied it, fearing Shi Nuan would despise him!
Ji Xia said Lv Nan Nan hopes Shi Nuan can forgive her, and she feels happy that Shi Nuan met a man like Song Yansheng!
"Nuannuan, I know you might not be able to accept this, I don’t wish to accept it either. But Shen Zui’s reckless actions to win you back weren’t just one or two. He knew well you were with Song Yansheng, knew his actions would trouble you, yet he still..."
Ji Xia couldn’t continue, finally saying, "Nuannuan, no matter what, Shen Zui liked you too much, which made him impulsively do these things. Don’t be too angry, in the future... In the future, be well with Song Yansheng!"
At that moment, Shi Nuan didn’t want to say a word.
Shen Zui, who once brought her warm memories during her youthful years.
Has he really gone like this? Never to return?
She truly couldn’t believe it.
But even Ji Xia believed it.
Since Shen Zui returned to the country, Ji Xia was the one who interacted with him more, not her.
Ji Xia felt Shen Zui had changed, and if she insisted again, what meaning would it have?
Moreover, although she wasn’t sure about the fight between Shen Zui and Song Yansheng.
But during her time in the hospital, she had indeed seen injuries on Song Yansheng’s face.
At that time, she thought these injuries were caused by that drunk man. Thinking back, maybe they were because of Shen Zui...
A gust of wind blew, brushing against Shi Nuan’s face, cool and chilly.
Shi Nuan’s knuckles tightened as she gripped the balcony railing.
No matter what, over four years, more than a thousand days and nights have passed, they are destined to be different.
Not just Shen Zui, she herself is different too.
She no longer wants to blame anyone, nor will she blame Shen Zui.
If there’s blame, it’s on this heartless time, cooling people’s hearts!
