"..." Shi Nuan finally snapped back to reality and instinctively gave him a little shove before smoothly rolling out of his embrace.
By the time Song Yansheng realized what was happening, Shi Nuan had already jumped off the bed barefoot, her eyes flickering, her small face flushed red, like a startled little hedgehog.
And that wasn’t all. The neckline of her pajamas had been pulled askew during sleep, revealing her fair and beautiful collarbone...
Below, a hint of spring scenery was faintly visible...
Song Yansheng took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the odd feeling in his heart, and said, "Don’t just stand there, go wash up!"
Shi Nuan’s dark eyes flickered, she nodded with an "oh" and quickly headed towards the bathroom.
"Put on your slippers!"
Seeing her delicate, white, and small feet on the wooden floor, Song Yansheng couldn’t help but remind her again.
Shi Nuan responded with another "oh," turned back to put on her shoes, then fled again.
In no time, her small figure flitted into the bathroom, like a beautiful butterfly fluttering out of his sight.
Song Yansheng leaned against the bed, sighing softly, was the little girl really that afraid of him?
He had planned to take advantage of the early morning, while she was still drowsy, to use his charms...
Who would have thought, who would have thought...
He lifted the blanket and looked at a certain change in his body, sighing again.
Just as the little girl had broken free from his embrace earlier, her knee had accidentally bumped into his...special area!
Although it wasn’t very forceful, the sensation it sparked nearly drove him insane...
Shi Nuan lingered in the bathroom for quite some time, nearly half an hour. If it weren’t for the thought that Song Yansheng needed to use it too, she would have stayed even longer!
But when she finally mustered the courage to step out of the bathroom, there was no sign of Song Yansheng in the bedroom, only a maid tidying up the bed.
The maid greeted Shi Nuan as she saw her, and Shi Nuan nodded back, feeling too awkward to ask where Song Yansheng was.
She figured that Song Yansheng had gotten tired of waiting for her and had probably gone to another room to wash up. After all, the Song Family house was so big with so many rooms, there was no need for him to wait.
On a chair was a set of clean clothes, which Shi Nuan guessed was prepared for her, so she didn’t question it. She took them and went to the dressing room to change.
A white and blue chiffon long dress, topped with a blue and white, long-sleeved round-neck cardigan shirt - it fit her fairly well.
Feeling satisfied, Shi Nuan headed downstairs, only to find the living room empty.
It wasn’t too late anymore, the people who needed to be up should be awake by now... Where was everyone?
Just as she was feeling puzzled, a maid walked in and upon seeing Shi Nuan, said, "Young Madam, you’re here! Young Master and Madam are in the backyard temple, they’ll be back shortly. Please sit down and rest for a while."
Shi Nuan understood and realized they went to the temple. She thanked the maid and sat down, noticing a newspaper on the table.
The open page happened to be the entertainment section, which covered a piece of entertainment news about a male singer named Sidney.
The accompanying picture showed the profile of a man.
Although it was only a profile view, the man was wearing a mask, making it impossible to see what he looked like.
Nonetheless, he had a decent build!
Shi Nuan glanced at it indifferently, uninterested, and flipped straight to the economic section, which she began perusing with interest.
On the back, the headline of the entertainment section read: ’Dark Night’, a male singer, Sidney, who has been popular abroad in recent years, recently announced the termination of his contract with a foreign management company and might return home to continue his career!
