At that ti, Shi Nuan was too young. Although she sensed sothing different, she didn’t think much of it.
After all, father was still father, and back then, he doted on her a lot.
Every ti father ca, he would stay for about three or four days, but he wouldn’t stay at Younger Aunt’s house.
She even asked her mother why, and her mother said that Younger Aunt’s house wasn’t big enough, and it wasn’t convenient for father to stay there.
Shi Nuan said, "I can sleep on the sofa, so dad and mom can sleep together!"
Her mother only smiled gently at her, but never agreed.
Recalling the past again, Shi Nuan now tasted different emotions.
Her mother had lost a child; she had lost a brother or a sister...
This matter must have had sothing to do with her father.
Yet she doesn’t think her mother knew about Li Guirong’s existence back then.
According to her mother’s character, if she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have just taken her abroad for over a year.
Nor would they have returned to the Shi Family after more than a year.
But Shi Nuan also thought, if her mother knew at that ti, maybe it would have been a good thing.
She, her mother, grandmother, and Younger Aunt’s family would have stayed abroad forever, never returning ho.
That way, her mother wouldn’t have left unexpectedly, and Younger Aunt and grandmother wouldn’t be missing without news to this day.
Song Yansheng looked at Shi Nuan, said sothing, and then stopped, knowing that the little girl was probably lost in mories.
He tightened his grip on her fingers and said, "Today, I’ll accompany Nuannuan on this road and play once more..."
Shi Nuan was stunned for a mont, ca back to her senses, and looked at Song Yansheng.
The man’s gentle smile and the warmth in his eyes eased a lot of the pain in her heart.
She took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I’m not a little child anymore..."
"But in my eyes, Nuannuan will always be a child!"
"..."
Shi Nuan pressed her lips together, retracted her gaze, and said, "Second Uncle treats his own wife like a child, that’s really strange!"
Song Yansheng, however, didn’t care at all and retorted, "What’s wrong with treating you like a child? Because you’re a child, I can indulge you without reservation, follow you, protect you, and let you live in happiness forever..."
After a pause, he said again, "Besides, I consider Nuannuan my wife, but Nuannuan calls Second Uncle, it doesn’t seem quite right either..."
Shi Nuan blinked, not knowing what to say.
Song Yansheng rubbed her palm and said softly, "Nuannuan, even at this point, aren’t you willing to call differently?"
Shi Nuan’s thin lips moved, and she said, "I... I’m used to calling you Second Uncle..."
"But in front of mother, you called ... A Yu," he said, "Nuannuan, you can continue to call , A Yu..."
Shi Nuan bit her lip, and after a while, said, "I’ll... change it slowly!"
Song Yansheng knew the little girl was being stubborn, and it wasn’t good to force her too much.
During the last intimate mont, didn’t the little girl call him husband?
If she can call him husband, how much more an "A Yu"...
...
Many years have passed, and many houses around have been renovated, rebuilt, and enlarged a lot.
What surprised Shi Nuan was that Younger Aunt’s forr house hadn’t changed at all.
Back then, living in the house was a couple of elders over fifty.
The elders were Aricans, speaking English. With Song Yansheng’s strong English skills, communication with the elders was smooth.
Shi Nuan was beside them, and although she didn’t fully understand every word, she grasped the overall aning.
The elders said they bought the house about ten years ago...
