Song Yansheng brought up last night on his own, causing Shi Nuoxin’s heart to beat chaotically.
Her eyes flickered lightly, and she gently said "Mm" again, waiting for him to continue.
Song Yansheng sighed and said, "Eight years ago, the year I returned to the country, Xiangling was eighteen, but I didn’t spend it with her. Three months before her birthday, I returned ho. Later I heard she went to New York to find and broke down crying outside the house I used to rent..."
Shi Nuoxin pressed her lips together, understanding that Song Yansheng indeed went to see Ji Xiangling last night, and he went to celebrate Ji Xiangling’s birthday.
Ji Xiangling didn’t lie about that.
Song Yansheng continued, "Later, my mother knew about this and scolded severely. Aunt Ji and Xiangling are considered to have done favors for the Song Family and shown affection. My abrupt departure was already not right, making Xiangling so upset wasn’t sothing that should have happened. That year, in front of my mother, I called Xiangling who was far abroad to tell her I owe her a birthday and I’ll definitely celebrate it with her in the future..."
Shi Nuoxin’s eyes lowered slightly as she lightly said, "So Second Uncle, you... did you celebrate her birthday with her last night?"
"Yes..." Song Yansheng didn’t deny it. "Last night, my mother called to tell it was Xiangling’s birthday that day, and asked to fulfill my promise. My mother was sharp in her words, she seed angry because I hadn’t thought of Xiangling’s birthday all day yesterday. Mother told to quickly find Xiangling, saying Aunt Ji called her saying Xiangling was emotionally off, had just driven away, and couldn’t be reached on the phone. After all, she’s an old acquaintance, so I hurried over..."
Shi Nuoxin gave another slight "Mm" and said, "I can understand your feelings, Second Uncle!"
Song Yansheng shook his head, "No, my feelings, Nuannuan cannot understand. Nuannuan doesn’t know that given any other choice, I wouldn’t have looked for Xiangling, nor would I have seen Xiangling..."
Shi Nuoxin didn’t know what to say. Song Yansheng confessed to her; he indeed saw Ji Xiangling last night and celebrated her birthday with her.
But even so, she still didn’t dare to ask him what happened between them after he t Ji Xiangling.
Song Yansheng ca back after four in the morning, and she didn’t think he would do anything to betray their marriage.
But if, if Ji Xiangling had planned in advance, after all, she looked similar to that woman, or if she used threats or other ans... what might have happened?
Shi Nuoxin wasn’t 100% sure, because of the complexity of human nature, the fragility of emotions, the dangers of society...
Shi Nuoxin said, "I understand now. Second Uncle, don’t worry about it. You and... and Lady Ji were old friends, you’ve known each other for over ten years, and you had the promise back then. It’s only natural for you to go, I won’t mind."
Song Yansheng squinted at her, "Really won’t mind?"
Shi Nuoxin nodded, "I don’t mind..."
Song Yansheng said nothing, just looked at Shi Nuoxin like that, his eyes dark as ink, his expression inscrutably deep.
Shi Nuoxin wasn’t angry; he thought he should be happy, but why did his heart feel a bit empty?
Earlier, when he was showering, he thought about leaving without a word last night, and Shi Nuoxin hadn’t called or texted even once.
As a husband, nearly staying out all night is generally not right. If this happened to him with Shi Nuoxin, he’d be extrely concerned.
So he decided to co clean with Shi Nuoxin right after the shower, not wanting the little girl to misunderstand anything...
