Chapter 1557: Chapter 1295: I’m Afraid of Song Yansheng_3

The door opened, Shi Nuan stepped inside, and immediately saw Shen Zui waiting on the lounge sofa.

Today, Shen Zui was dressed in a light blue trench coat that resembled formal attire, looking very neat.

This was the first time Shi Nuan had seen him dressed so formally.

At twenty-six years old, Shen Zui was indeed different from when he was twenty-one.

Of course, some things remained unchanged, like his upright posture and handsome appearance.

Upon seeing Shi Nuan, Shen Zui quickly stood up, appearing somewhat flustered, and said, "You... you come sit!"

Shi Nuan chuckled, saying, "Don’t be so reserved, I’m not your boss!"

Shen Zui also laughed, "I agree, I shouldn’t be reserved, it’s just... it’s such a strange feeling, never thought I’d have another meal with you before leaving!"

Shi Nuan walked over, taking a glance around the room, spacious and luxurious, with an elegant ambiance.

The waiter at the door asked, "Would you like the dishes to be served now or later, sir, ma’am?"

Shen Zui didn’t respond, instead looking towards Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan said, "It’s only half-past five now, let’s wait a bit!"

The waiter acknowledged and respectfully left the room.

Shen Zui spoke again, "Nuannuan, why don’t you sit down and rest for a while?"

Shi Nuan nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Shen Zui gazed at Shi Nuan, noticing after some time that she seemed to have changed.

Once, he saw her as a little girl, but now, she had somehow acquired a touch of femininity.

But he knew, this change in Shi Nuan was because of Song Yansheng; it was Song Yansheng who transformed Shi Nuan from a girl into a woman!

Shen Zui poured Shi Nuan a cup of tea and said, "I just tasted it, it’s a good tea, have a sip!"

Shi Nuan picked it up, took a sip—it was Tieguanyin, very fragrant, indeed a good tea!

Shen Zui’s gaze remained fixed on Shi Nuan, not wishing to look away for even a second.

Even now, he deeply regretted leaving, regretted letting go of such a wonderful Shi Nuan.

Taking a breath, he asked Shi Nuan, "Nuannuan, have you been well these days?"

Shi Nuan nodded and said, "I’ve been good!"

Shen Zui smiled, "Yes, I also think he should be taking great care of you!"

Shi Nuan said nothing, and Shen Zui found himself at a loss for words.

After a while, Shen Zui said, "Nuannuan, I recently wrote a new song, would you like to hear it?"

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered lightly, smiling, "Sure!"

Shen Zui prepared to sing but hesitated, then said, "Before I leave, at the concert, you’ll come, right? I still want to sing it for you that day."

Shi Nuan nodded, "That works too!"

Shen Zui laughed, "I guess I’m tongue-tied. Seeing you, I originally had so much to say, but with all the excitement, I seem to have forgotten it all!"

Shi Nuan said, "It’s okay, you can take your time to speak!"

"Actually, about the words concerning you and me, I’ve already spoken to you, but there are still some things I always wanted to say, yet always feared to say..." Shen Zui pressed his lips together and continued, "It’s about Song Yansheng..."

Shi Nuan looked at him, and Shen Zui paused slightly, then continued, "Do you believe it? When I planned to return home, Xiao Chuan... hadn’t left yet, but I still decided to come back, and I aged, just wanted to take you back from Xiao Chuan!"

Shi Nuan looked at him, saying nothing.

Shen Zui continued, "But I never thought Xiao Chuan just left like that. I did hesitate, wondering if, at this moment when you’re deep in grief, would you still accept me? I wasn’t afraid to become Xiao Chuan, your fiancé, but I feared becoming Xiao Chuan, a person in your memories. But I didn’t expect, during the short month of my hesitation, that you were already taken by someone else, and that person was the one I feared, Song Yansheng...

Yes, I fear Song Yansheng. Truly, apart from Song Yansheng, there’s no other man beside you I fear, but for some reason, I fear Song Yansheng desperately. It’s not that this man is more outstanding, richer, or more powerful, but because, as Xiao Chuan’s Second Uncle, he disregarded everything and pursued you wholeheartedly...

No, it’s not just that he pursued you. He directly married you, made you Song Yansheng’s wife, so determined, so courageous, so fearless... I truly am afraid, terribly, terribly afraid... yet I don’t dare admit it, stubbornly forging ahead, and as you saw, met with obstacles everywhere, bringing you both much trouble. Truly, Nuannuan, I’m very sorry to you and deeply regret to Song Yansheng..."
