Song Yansheng pulled Shi Nuan upstairs, and Aunt Hui didn’t dare to say a word.
She knew that today’s matter was poorly handled.
She had always prided herself on being thorough and reliable, yet she forgot that Shen Zui had done several things lately, and Mr. had not taken any real action since he returned.
Mr. left in anger for a business trip to Hong Kong, but returned imdiately to take Shi Nuan to stay at Dong Garden for a while.
Now back, fingers interlocked as they returned to the room, although as Song Yansheng passed by her, she didn’t dare to look up.
But she could still sll the faint scent of alcohol on Song Yansheng.
Mr. had been drinking, quite a bit as it seed, which made him unpredictable at this ti.
Aunt Hui, who had cared for Song Yansheng for years, understood this.
In the master bedroom, Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan entered; Shi Nuan was sowhat nervous and said, "Second Uncle, it’s getting late, you... you’d better wash up soon!"
Song Yansheng responded with a "Mm" and asked, "To save ti, would Nuannuan like to join ?"
Shi Nuan quickly waved her hand, "No need, Second Uncle... Second Uncle, you wash first, I still have so things to sort out!"
"Oh?" Song Yansheng raised an eyebrow, stared at Shi Nuan for two seconds, and then smiled, "Alright then, Nuannuan, go sort your things. I’ll take a bath and wait for you!"
Shi Nuan reluctantly agreed, watching Song Yansheng walk into the bathroom.
It was only after the bathroom door closed that Shi Nuan let out a small sigh of relief.
She pushed open the bedroom door and went downstairs, catching sight of the slightly anxious Aunt Hui at the staircase.
Shi Nuan went down, and upon seeing her, Aunt Hui hurriedly greeted her, "Lady..."
Shi Nuan nodded slightly, "Mm," and said, "Aunt Hui, did you receive sothing this afternoon?"
Aunt Hui’s eyes flickered slightly, but she said nothing.
Shi Nuan continued, "I know what you received. I’m not here to ask you for it. I just want to tell you that if such things are delivered to the Song Mansion again in the future, you don’t need to notify Mr. or . You can just throw them away!"
Aunt Hui was even more stunned, "Lady, I..."
"Aunt Hui..." Shi Nuan said, "I’ve been with you for more than three months now. I know you’re a cautious person and you’ve been considerate towards , but you don’t like . Like Aunt Tong, you believe that Song Yansheng marrying was a wrong decision!
You and Aunt Tong are loyal to the Song Family, loyal to the old lady and Song Yansheng, which I’m indeed grateful for. However, Aunt Hui, Mr. and I have registered our marriage. We are husband and wife. This fact will not change. Even if one day, Mr. and I separate, I’ll still be his ex-wife, and that bond can never be erased. Do you understand what I an?"
Aunt Hui was taken aback, not expecting the usually quiet and indifferent Shi Nuan, who seed disinterested in everything, would see through her thoughts.
She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say, her heart in a fluster.
But Shi Nuan was calm, saying, "Aunt Hui, don’t be afraid. I won’t do anything to you, nor do I want to. I just want to live each day peacefully, without causing trouble or wanting anyone to trouble . Do you get what I an?"
Aunt Hui took a deep breath and said, "I understand... I do!"
Shi Nuan nodded, said no more, and without looking at Aunt Hui, turned to go upstairs.
It wasn’t until Shi Nuan’s figure was almost out of sight that Aunt Hui lifted her eyes to look at her.
All along, she had thought Shi Nuan was just a simple girl, sheltered and protected by Mr., hence her current shine.
But only now did she realize, this girl is indeed quite different!
