Chapter 1476: Chapter 1267: I Hope She Loves Me as Much as I Love Her (2)

She knew he was giving in, but if the same situation were to happen again in the future, would they react the same way as last night?

She didn’t like the Song Yansheng of last night, nor did she like herself!

"Aunt Hui, I remember the kitchen bought small pumpkins yesterday, so why is there no pumpkin porridge this morning?"

Song Yansheng, seeing Shi Nuan ignoring him, vented his frustration on Aunt Hui instead.

Aunt Hui was a bit bewildered. Pumpkin porridge? Mr. asked about it first thing, but she said there wasn’t any pumpkin today. Mr. mentioned making more Chinese snacks, but didn’t insist on pumpkin porridge, right?

So what’s this about...

Aunt Hui glanced at Shi Nuan who was eating with her head down and roughly understood; Mr. wanted to send her away and vent his anger a little.

Aunt Hui quickly said, "Sorry Mr., perhaps the kitchen forgot for a moment, I’ll go check. You and Lady continue with breakfast..."

Aunt Hui nodded and left the dining room, closing the door carefully behind her.

Soon, only Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan were left in the dining room.

Song Yansheng spoke again, "Nuannuan, I was too impulsive yesterday. I’m formally apologizing to you now. Can you forgive me, please?"

Shi Nuan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she raised her head to look at Song Yansheng, asking, "Does Second Uncle know the root cause of his impulsiveness yesterday?"

Song Yansheng was momentarily stunned, unable to speak.

Shi Nuan said, "Since Second Uncle doesn’t know, this apology is unnecessary. Because I won’t accept it!"

Song Yansheng sighed and said, "Yesterday, I shouldn’t have recklessly guessed about Nuannuan and doubted her. That’s my fault, and I’m sorry!"

"So what Second Uncle means with this apology is that in the future, he’ll trust me, won’t recklessly guess about me again? If the same situation happens again, he won’t doubt me?"

Song Yansheng was again speechless. Such a promise was impossible for him to give because even he couldn’t be sure he could do it.

Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle, eat breakfast. You still have to go to work later!"

Breakfast was thus finished in silence.

After the meal, Shi Nuan went upstairs to get her bag while Song Yansheng changed clothes.

Old Zhang drove them both in silence; neither spoke on the way. Only when they got out did Song Yansheng say, "Drive carefully!"

Shi Nuan responded with a soft "Hmm," and closed the door.

Song Yansheng sat in the car watching Shi Nuan’s departing figure, frequently sighing.

Old Zhang couldn’t help but console him, "Mr., Lady is smart, cold on the outside but kind-hearted. She knows when you’re good to her. You don’t need to take minor disagreements to heart!"

Song Yansheng moved his thin lips, saying, "I know, she’s angry with me, angry that I don’t trust her, angry I’m too jealous, too petty. I also realize that for two people to go on for a long time, trust is key. But I can’t control myself; even when she’s beside me, if I don’t hold her tight, I feel like she’ll leave me at any moment!"

Old Zhang frowned, "Mr., you care too much about Lady. You really don’t need to be like this; love requires a balance, like sand in your hand—the tighter you grip, the more it slips away..."

Song Yansheng chuckled lightly and said, "Old Zhang, you don’t understand. Love is inherently selfish. Ever since I had Nuannuan, I basically avoid seeing Chu Jingyun and Ji Xiangling, which seems heartless. You should know, they each accompanied me for seven years—a lifetime, not seven days, not seven months...

Because I know Nuannuan feels insecure in front of me and can’t believe a man loves her so much. I can only try my best, cautiously protect her emotional state. I hope Nuannuan can do the same for me, I hope she can love me just as I love her... Am I too greedy, Old Zhang?"

Old Zhang frowned, took a while, then said, "Mr., I’m not sure how to say this, but love has never been fair. Someone always has to give in, to be tolerant, to understand. Moreover, I think you’re already married to Lady, she’s your wife, you should indeed give her ample understanding and trust. If you feel incapable of doing so, perhaps think back to your feelings when you insisted on marrying Lady. Maybe you’ll see things more clearly..."

Song Yansheng squinted, feeling like a surge of warmth was moving through his chest.

Indeed, indeed, how could he forget this, how could he forget this?

More than half a year ago, he appeared in the role of savior and married Shi Nuan despite everything.

The day he and Shi Nuan registered their marriage, he was truly happy, incredibly happy.

Even then, Shi Nuan was still unwilling, and everyone around them who knew of their situation wasn’t optimistic about their relationship.
