Chapter 1252 - 1176: Song Yansheng Is Back (2)
Song Yansheng tightened his grip on her hand and said, "Alright, let’s go back!"
Song Yansheng held Shi Nuan’s hand as they walked back, their steps slow, almost like a stroll.
The atmosphere was harmonious, both of them tacitly choosing not to mention Liao Qinghe.
Although Shi Nuan felt that this person shouldn’t become a taboo between them.
Soon they returned to the main house’s living room, but Liao Qinghe was nowhere to be seen. The maid cleaning the living room said, "Mr. Liao has gone upstairs!"
After a pause, she added, "Mr. Liao said he’s not feeling well today. Just send dinner upstairs directly; he won’t be coming down!"
Shi Nuan paused in surprise; Liao Qinghe seemed fine just moments ago, what happened now?
Even Song Yansheng was puzzled; what tricks was Liao Qinghe playing?
What tricks was Liao Qinghe playing? Actually, nothing; he truly was a bit tired.
Heart weary.
Today’s walk with Shi Nuan brought back too many memories of Xu Jing.
Afraid, while knowing this life might never make it possible, but the heart, in the end, hurts.
This pain had been buried by him for a long time, never easily shown to others.
And downstairs, Song Yansheng was too perceptive to people’s emotions.
He didn’t want to show weakness in front of a little brother seven years younger than him.
He was Liao Qinghe, once a man who stayed alone on the African savannas for a month.
He should be different.
...
On this day, Shi Nuan took half a day off for a health check-up, then was sent back to Song Mansion by Song Yansheng.
Song Yansheng naturally wouldn’t admit that he was supposed to work for at least half an hour more today, but upon hearing that Liao Qinghe also returned to Song Mansion from Qiao Yichi, he immediately left everyone in the meeting room and headed back.
As for the subsequent meeting, naturally, it was entrusted to Qiao Yichi, but if Qiao Yichi were to go through the entire meeting process as then, it wouldn’t just be half an hour of overtime.
Qiao Yichi felt that Song Yansheng cared too much for Shi Nuan, to a disturbing degree, his whole life entwined with hers.
Despite being the president of a multinational company, was such devotion to a little girl necessary?
Yet, Qiao Yichi simultaneously envied Song Yansheng; at least he had someone who made him willing to risk everything just to meet.
By contrast, his feelings still had no landing point.
He had liked a woman for many years, but that woman’s heart belonged to someone else. For that person, she resolutely returned to the country, silently guarding by his side.
To this day, she’s single, and so is he, but between them, there’s simply no possibility.
How long has it been since they last met? He no longer remembers, but deep down, he hopes she can finally win that man’s heart and achieve her complete happiness.
This day, Song Yansheng returned to Song Mansion, feeling somewhat uneasy along the way, but Shi Nuan had reassured him, more than once.
His heart also trusted Shi Nuan.
But a man’s possessiveness always makes him unable to control his emotions, and even his actions can’t be restrained.
He didn’t like Shi Nuan being alone with other men, no matter who the man was.
Upon returning and finding out that Shi Nuan was taking a walk with Liao Qinghe in the backyard, his feelings were even more complicated. Afterward, he indeed saw them together.
Liao Qinghe approached, smilingly greeting him as he passed by.
His gaze landed on Aunt Hui behind him, casually saying, "Your Song Mansion’s servants are quite diligent; even just walking around with Mrs. Song in broad daylight, a crowd needs to watch us?"
Song Yansheng slightly narrowed his eyes while Aunt Hui had already lowered her head in fright.
It was only after Liao Qinghe walked away that Aunt Hui nervously spoke up, "Mr., I’m just worried about Mr. Liao..."
"Worried about what?" Song Yansheng interrupted her, his tone obviously cold.
Aunt Hui was instantly at a loss for words.
Song Yansheng spoke indifferently, "Aunt Hui, your recent performance has been increasingly disappointing..."
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Aunt Hui and headed straight towards Shi Nuan.
He mentioned nothing about Liao Qinghe, nor did Shi Nuan, as if he were just an irrelevant person.
In fact, he truly was irrelevant.
At dinner, Liao Qinghe claimed to be unwell and wouldn’t come down to eat, to which Song Yansheng paid no heed.
He had previously learned about Liao Qinghe’s health issues during a call with Wen Biyue.
Liao Qinghe held a special significance for Wen Biyue, so he naturally had to take good care of him.
This care was not just physical but also psychological.
