Chapter 1388 - 1236: Living Together
Although He Meisui and Ou Xiaoning had met Song Yansheng a couple of times, they thought he was a refined and easygoing person, but when it came to talking to him, both were somewhat reserved.
Especially now, as Song Yansheng’s status had changed, he was now the boyfriend of their friend Shi Nuan.
Song Yansheng probably noticed this as well, so after saying a few simple words, he excused himself under the pretext of having emails to deal with and went upstairs, leaving the living room downstairs to the three of them.
Only when Song Yansheng’s figure had completely disappeared did Ou Xiaoning let out a long breath: "Oh my God, I was about to suffocate!"
He Meisui glanced at her: "Why would you suffocate for no reason?"
"I was so nervous, when talking to Mr. Song, I didn’t even dare to breathe deeply, so of course I almost suffocated!"
He Meisui laughed: "So you have moments of fear too, I thought you weren’t afraid of anything!"
Ou Xiaoning stuck out her tongue: "You only know how to talk about me, don’t tell me you weren’t nervous at all!"
He Meisui was instantly speechless.
Shi Nuan, listening from the side, felt a bit embarrassed, and coughed lightly, "Actually... actually you don’t need to be afraid of him, he’s not as scary as you think!"
Ou Xiaoning said, "Nuannuan, you misunderstood, we’re not afraid of Mr. Song because he’s scary, but because it’s hard to believe; in my mind, Mr. Song is like a god-like figure, as a mere mortal having the chance to sit and talk with him, how could I not be nervous?"
"What godlike figure, Nuannuan, don’t listen to Xiao Ning’s nonsense, when we say we’re afraid, it’s mainly because we’re afraid of saying something wrong and embarrassing you, and we don’t know Mr. Song very well, so we have to be careful when visiting!"
Shi Nuan said: "I know, you must be quite shocked to come over this time, I’m also very sorry that I kept it from you for so long..."
Ou Xiaoning hastily said, "Why bring that up again, Mr. Song already apologized earlier, Nuannuan, don’t take it to heart, Meisui and I aren’t that petty, we totally understand you, and hearing that you’re with Mr. Song, we’re genuinely happy for you!"
He Meisui also said: "Yes, Nuannuan, Mr. Song really is a wonderful person, you can tell he really likes you, and honestly, in your family situation, being with Mr. Song is really beneficial for you, I don’t believe Shi Jiaojiao will dare to bully you after this?"
"Exactly... Nuannuan, you don’t know, today when Meisui and I were shopping, we ran into your stepsister Shi Jiaojiao, I don’t know who upset her, she was like a prickly porcupine, and seeing us, she started talking a bunch of bad stuff about you, but rest assured, Meisui and I already had a comeback for her."
Ou Xiaoning is straightforward, saying whatever comes to mind, and despite He Meisui giving her several winks during her speech, she outright ignored them.
Ou Xiaoning felt, if you don’t like someone, you just don’t like them, regardless of what they do or say, there’s no reason to cover for them.
He Meisui sighed, she didn’t want Shi Nuan to know, thinking that Shi Nuan maybe didn’t care much about that person, why bring it up to upset Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan had just gone through such an ordeal, and the person who plotted against her hadn’t been found out yet.
He Meisui thought Shi Jiaojiao was a suspect.
As for whether Shi Jiaojiao is or isn’t the culprit, Shi Nuan herself has to determine this, and investigate with Song Yansheng.
Shi Nuan said: "If you encounter her again, just avoid her, don’t pay any attention to her, and there’s no need to offend her on my behalf!"
Ou Xiaoning said, "Who’s afraid of offending her, what can she do to us anyway? And Nuannuan, now that you have such an unbelievably awesome boyfriend like Song Yansheng, you shouldn’t let her get away with things anymore, it’s precisely because you used to always give in to her that she’s become so arrogant!"
Shi Nuan was suddenly at a loss for words.
He Meisui sensing Shi Nuan’s discomfort, quickly supplemented, saying: "Alright, Xiao Ning, we’re at Song Mansion today, it’s originally a happy occasion seeing Nuannuan, don’t bring up those upsetting matters that might make Nuannuan unhappy... Right, Nuannuan, you’re living at Song Mansion now, aren’t you?"
Shi Nuan blushed, but nonetheless nodded, admitting it.
He Meisui said: "That’s great, better than living at the Shi Family, it seems Mr. Song really treats you well, Nuannuan you’re really lucky!"
Ou Xiaoning also said: "Yes, Nuannuan, Song Mansion is really big, Meisui and I weren’t even dropped off at the door, and it took a few minutes to walk to you, plus all those flowers everywhere, if I hadn’t known beforehand we were at Song Mansion, I would have thought we had entered the Imperial Garden!"
