Chapter 1509: Chapter 1278: He Will Always Be by Her Side (Part 2)

The servant hurriedly went, and Song Yansheng didn’t want to make things too ugly, so he pulled Shi Nuan to sit on the sofa beside him.

But with more people around, it actually became more awkward. Until the Longjing tea was served, the atmosphere was very tense.

In the end, it was Shi Yuanbo who purposely brought up work-related topics with Song Yansheng and Yao Shuyan to ease the atmosphere and pass the time.

Given the current mood, it was clear that dinner wasn’t going to be any better.

Shi Nuan barely spoke, while Song Yansheng was very considerate, taking care of Shi Nuan, picking out bones and serving her food, which made Shi Jiaojiao extremely envious.

She gave Yao Shuyan a look, hoping he would treat her better, but Yao Shuyan pretended not to see it the whole time.

This made Shi Jiaojiao even more furious.

After dinner, while Yao Shuyan went to the restroom, Shi Jiaojiao followed him and questioned him about why he was treating her this way.

Yao Shuyan just gave her a cold smile and didn’t say a word before turning and leaving.

Shi Jiaojiao stomped her feet in anger behind him.

Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan didn’t stay long after dinner and left. Shi Yuanbo wanted to invite them to stay overnight, but he knew Song Yansheng wouldn’t agree.

Yao Shuyan took this chance to bid farewell to the Shi family couple as well. As he left, Li Guirong asked Shi Jiaojiao to see Yao Shuyan out, but Shi Jiaojiao ignored it and went straight upstairs.

Yao Shuyan didn’t mind, politely said goodbye to the couple, and turned to leave.

The three of them quickly arrived at the car, and because Song Yansheng had drunk wine during dinner, he called Old Zhang afterward to come and pick them up.

But upon reaching the car, they found that it wasn’t Old Zhang who came, but Old Zhang’s son, Zhang Xiaolian.

Zhang Xiaolian smiled happily at the couple, "Mr., Lady, good evening!"

Shi Nuan replied, "Hello!"

Song Yansheng smiled and asked, "Back again?"

Zhang Xiaolian nodded, "Yep, back again, just moved back today. My dad was happy and had a little to drink tonight. I didn’t drink since I had to drive later, didn’t expect it would come in handy!"

Song Yansheng narrowed his eyes, "Going out?"

Zhang Xiaolian scratched his head, saying, "Xiangling... Xiangling asked me to join her for a drink at the bar at nine, so I didn’t drink earlier!"

Song Yansheng glanced at his watch and said, "Forty minutes left, is it enough?"

Zhang Xiaolian quickly said, "It’s enough. Mr., don’t you trust my driving skills?"

Song Yansheng nodded and said no more, so Zhang Xiaolian quickly opened the car door and said, "Please get in, if we delay any longer, I can’t guarantee it’ll be enough!"

Song Yansheng chuckled, pulling Shi Nuan into the car, and Shi Nuan turned her eyes to look at Yao Shuyan walking towards them.

Song Yansheng also glanced over.

Quickly, Yao Shuyan walked over and nodded to greet them.

They nodded back lightly.

Yao Shuyan said, "Before I came today, I didn’t know the two of you would be here, really sorry for interrupting your enjoyment!"

Song Yansheng said, "It’s not about you, actually when it comes to enjoyment, it should be us who interrupted yours!"

Yao Shuyan chuckled with lowered eyes, "Forget it, both are equal... just heard from a distance that this young man seems to have things to do later, I won’t disturb further, take care!"

They nodded to him, and Yao Shuyan got into his car and left.

Meanwhile, Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng also quickly got into the car.

Zhang Xiaolian is different from any other driver of the Song family, he’s quite chatty.

Once in the car, Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng didn’t say much, it was all him talking.

Shi Nuan really liked his personality, if either she or Song Yansheng had such a personality, tonight’s atmosphere wouldn’t have been so awkward.

Zhang Xiaolian’s driving skills were indeed good. Without getting caught for speeding along the way, he truly got the two to Song Mansion in twenty minutes.

Given that he was in a rush, Song Yansheng didn’t keep him any longer, only urged him to drive carefully.

The two saw Zhang Xiaolian off as they walked back, and Shi Nuan asked Song Yansheng, "Did Zhang Xiaolian return... for Ji Xiangling?"

Song Yansheng nodded, "I always felt Xiangling was too idle. Because her mother once helped the Song family, I can’t be too harsh with her. Xiaolian sincerely likes her, if she can give it up in time, maybe there’s a chance for happiness!"

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered lightly and said, "But Ji Xiangling... truly likes you too, doesn’t she?"

In order to stop liking someone, the other party arranged for someone who likes them to cause a bit of trouble for themselves...

What can I say, Shi Nuan thought it wasn’t very nice.

Song Yansheng said, "I know what you’re thinking, but in this world, many people probably like many others in their lifetime, but no one can be fully responsible for someone’s feelings... Like me, since I already have you, when it comes to Xiangling, I can only say sorry. If she gives up, I do nothing, but if she insists, then I can only make her give up in my own way!"
