That day, dinner at the Song Mansion was rather quiet due to matters concerning Gu Zheng and Ye Mingi.
After dinner, Yu Yao wasn’t in the mood for chatting either. She said she’d return to her room, look at so Buddhist scriptures, and then probably go to sleep.
Song Yansheng still had so emails to deal with and told Shi Nuan to go to sleep first. Shi Nuan didn’t say much and went back to her bedroom.
Shi Nuan was still worried about Ye Mingi, so she called A qing. A qing said that Ye Mingi was truly heartbroken and hardly ate dinner.
Earlier, she was persuaded to go to sleep.
A qing said, "I haven’t known Mingi for very long, but in my impression, Mingi, just like her na, is always bright and cheerful. It’s the first ti I’ve seen her like this now..."
Shi Nuan asked, "So Gu Zheng... hasn’t gone to find Mingi?"
"Gu Zheng is out of town on a mission and hasn’t returned. His engagent was sothing Mingi only found out about accidentally through a phone call from S City. Mingi also called Gu Zheng to confirm, and that’s when she got angry and upset and ca over to ..."
Shi Nuan didn’t know what to say.
A qing said, "Don’t worry too much. Mingi has and R watching over her. There won’t be any problems. We’ve also contacted Gu Zheng, and he’s expected to co back within these couple of days. Before that, we’ll take good care of Mingi..."
Shi Nuan initially wanted A qing and Qin Ran to bring Mingi to the Song Mansion. Mingi loves eating at, and the chef at Song Mansion is exceptionally skilled; perhaps it could distract her a bit.
But rembering how Ye Mingi used to drop everything upon hearing that Gu Zheng ca to pick her up, including forgoing delicious food, it was clear in her heart that food wasn’t as important as Gu Zheng...
Even if she were brought to Song Mansion, it might not make a difference...
Shi Nuan spoke a few more words with A qing and then hung up the phone.
Whether by coincidence or not, just as she hung up, another call ca in.
And it wasn’t anyone else but her father, Shi Yuanbo, whom she hadn’t been in contact with for so ti.
Seeing the word "Dad" flashing on the screen, Shi Nuan suddenly felt a certain unfamiliarity.
In fact, it had been unfamiliar for a long ti, since the mont her mother passed away ten years ago.
Shi Nuan took a deep breath and answered the call.
"Hello? Nuannuan, it’s Dad..."
Shi Nuan pressed her lips together and softly responded with a "Hmm," asking, "...Is there sothing you need?"
Shi Yuanbo chuckled on the other end and said, "Not really, just that I heard you had a cold? Dad wanted to ask if you’ve been feeling any better these past couple of days?"
Previously, Shi Yuanbo had proposed to visit Shi Nuan at the Song Mansion, but Song Yansheng outright refused.
Shi Nuan took two days off, so Shi Yuanbo calling to check on her was reasonable.
And this ti, he called Shi Nuan’s mobile directly, instead of the Song Mansion’s landline or Song Yansheng’s phone. This made Shi Nuan feel sowhat different.
She said, "I’m much better now, you don’t need to worry!"
Shi Yuanbo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That’s good... I should trust that Song Yansheng can take good care of you!"
Shi Nuan’s gaze flickered slightly, saying, "Dad, do you rember? About half a year ago, one night, past eleven o’clock, I called you once?"
Shi Yuanbo paused; he certainly rembered.
Because back then, Shi Nuan rarely called him, but that night, past eleven, he recalled it was after eleven-thirty.
She called him suddenly!
