The next morning, around seven, Shi Nuan got up and faintly heard the sound of talking.
She glanced sideways at the balcony and found Song Yansheng on the phone.
Although she couldn’t make out exactly what was being said, it was clear that he was speaking in Chinese.
Was he calling soone back ho? It was evening there, so it’s possible.
Shi Nuan got up to wash up, and about fifteen minutes later she ca out of the bathroom, by which ti Song Yansheng had already co inside.
Seeing Shi Nuan, he smiled warmly and said, "Today, I’ll first take Nuannuan to so old haunts, and in the afternoon, I might need to take Nuannuan to et soone..."
Shi Nuan was slightly taken aback: "A friend of Second Uncle in Arica?"
Song Yansheng nodded: "An old friend, soone I t by chance when I was doing venture capital. Later, he and a friend started a company. He’s an exceptional manager, with a stake in the company, and his partner provided the funds. Over the years, the company has grown quite a bit, and in the Los Angeles Chinese community, he has quite a reputation. He and his wife have settled in Los Angeles, and upon learning of my arrival, he called to invite us over..."
After a pause, he said, "I made sure to let him know that I’m here with my new wife!"
Shi Nuan lowered her eyes and softly said "Oh," realizing that Song Yansheng was about to introduce her to his friend.
Although previously at ho, she had t many of Song Yansheng’s brothers, like the Qu family brothers, Gu Zheng, Qin Ran, and others.
But those people were all Song Yansheng’s trusted friends, brothers for many years!
This ti, it’s a friend from the business world, and that ans sothing different.
For breakfast, Ash made so exquisite snacks, both Chinese and Western, indicating she was skilled beyond just Chinese cuisine.
Shi Nuan was very satisfied and thanked Ash.
Ash smiled happily and said, "It’s all thanks to Song, his cooking is what’s truly delicious, so tasty!"
After saying that, she gave a thumbs up!
Shi Nuan laughed, acknowledging that Song Yansheng’s cooking was indeed delicious, but she didn’t compare him to Ash.
She also gave Ash a thumbs up, saying, "You’re great too!"
After the al, Shi Nuan tidied up a bit and left with Song Yansheng.
Two bodyguards, who also doubled as drivers, went with them.
It was rare that neither of them wore sunglasses today and their attire was much more casual, making them look noticeably less cool and distant.
Song Yansheng said, "This ti we’re going to a residential area. After all, it’s abroad, dressing too formally might scare people..."
Shi Nuan blinked, thinking, so dressing so formally usually is not just to look cool, but also to intimidate!
Soon, the two got into the car.
The journey from where Song Yansheng lived to where Younger Aunt used to live isn’t very far, usually taking about forty to fifty minutes by car.
Of course, if there’s traffic, it might take a bit longer.
People often say the closer you are to ho, the more anxious you feel. As Shi Nuan got closer to where she’d lived for over a year, she surprisingly felt a sense of nervousness.
Song Yansheng held her hand, saying, "With accompanying you, there’s nothing to be afraid of!"
Shi Nuan nodded, trying hard to calm herself and not let her thoughts run wild.
After roughly half an hour on the road, they indeed encountered traffic, and the car’s speed visibly slowed down.
Song Yansheng wanted to find a topic to chat about with Shi Nuan to pass the ti, but unexpectedly, his phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up, involuntarily smiling, and said to Shi Nuan, "It’s that old friend I ntioned to you this morning..."
Shi Nuan responded with an "Oh," saying, "Go ahead, answer it!"
Song Yansheng nodded lightly, reached to swipe the answer key, and said, "Hello? Dong Heng, it’s , Vincent!"
