The car quickly arrived at Song Mansion. The two got out of the car, and Song Yansheng seed to have so business to attend to. He gave a few instructions to Chi Rui, but Shi Nuan didn’t hear what was said.
She only saw Chi Rui nod repeatedly, and soon Chi Rui drove away.
Song Yansheng returned to Shi Nuan’s side, took her hand, and said, "Alright, it’s getting late, let’s go inside!"
Shi Nuan watched Chi Rui’s car leave Song Mansion, her lips moved slightly, and she asked, "Second Uncle, Assistant Chi has been with you for many years, right?"
Song Yansheng nodded, "Yes, Chi Rui ca to when he was sixteen. He is twenty-seven this year, so it’s been eleven years!"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "So, he probably t you during your ti abroad. What about his family? Aren’t they in T City?"
"His experience is similar to yours. His parents divorced, he followed his mother, but shortly after, his mother passed away unexpectedly. He was brought back to his father’s side, at a ti when his father had remarried and had children. He wasn’t greatly valued. Early on, he moved out to live alone, and as for that family, well, he said he never wants to go back again..."
Shi Nuan was stunned for a mont, she hadn’t expected Chi Rui to have such a background.
She said, "Assistant Chi is willing to co to T City with you. He must trust you a lot, considering you not only a boss but also a friend and family!"
Song Yansheng responded with a simple "Hmm," not denying it.
After a while, he asked Shi Nuan, "Why did you suddenly ask about Chi Rui? Did sothing happen?"
Shi Nuan thought of the mont earlier when Chi Rui stared intently at the news about Yu Dou and Song Qingyang.
At the ti, she didn’t quite understand. Later, she pondered, for sothing to make a grown man lose himself this way, what besides feelings could it be?
Could Chi Rui have secretly fallen for Sister Qingyang?
Yet she wasn’t comfortable directly asking Song Yansheng, especially since Sister Qingyang is already engaged to Yu Dou, and in just over two months, the wedding will take place.
With her assistant having feelings for his niece, Shi Nuan wasn’t sure how Song Yansheng would perceive it.
Besides, she felt that even if Song Yansheng found out, he wouldn’t interfere much, since matters of the heart are not sothing outsiders can interfere with.
Let it be. If they are not destined, saying more serves no purpose; if they are ant to be, perhaps there will be a chance in the future.
As a bystander, she didn’t want to be too involved, and naturally, she couldn’t be.
...
Earlier in the day, the weather was bright and sunny, and even in the evening, it was slightly muggy.
But for so reason, that night, it started to rain, and the rain wasn’t light.
Despite the windows having good soundproofing, Shi Nuan was still awakened by the sound of raindrops hitting the glass.
Opening her eyes, she imdiately saw the lightning flash outside. There was no thunder, but the lightning truly startled Shi Nuan.
So hidden emotions erupted instantly.
Because she rembered, the night her mother passed away, the rain was just like this, with lightning but no thunder.
She didn’t know if it was her hearing that had a problem or if there truly was no thunder.
But this similar scene indeed made her feel cold; she curled up in the bed, trembling all over.
Song Yansheng was right beside her, with one arm casually draped on her waist. His body was warm, and countless nights had once ward her.
Yet tonight, it was not enough!
Finally, when the next flash of lightning appeared, Shi Nuan couldn’t help but scream out loud, waking up Song Yansheng beside her.
