Song Yansheng rubbed his forehead, suddenly uncertain whether keeping Ye Mingmei around was right or wrong.
Shi Nuan stood at the side, blushing furiously, unsure of what to say.
Finally, it was Aunt Hui who broke the silence with a light cough. She said, "Miss Ye, I think... I’ll take you to see the guest room first!"
Ye Mingmei, eager to escape, immediately grabbed Aunt Hui’s arm and said, "Sure, sure, Aunt Hui, let’s go quickly. I’m dying to see what my room looks like!"
It wasn’t until Ye Mingmei’s figure disappeared that Song Yansheng sighed softly and turned to Shi Nuan beside him, "Alright, let’s go upstairs too!"
Shi Nuan nodded, being led upstairs by Song Yansheng, wondering if he really intended to nap with her.
"Mingmei has been spoiled by A Zheng, she’s a bit reckless in speaking, don’t mind her!" Song Yansheng said softly.
Shi Nuan’s glass-like eyes flickered, and she smiled and shook her head, "It’s okay... she’s very cute!"
Seventeen is supposed to be a carefree age, and with someone pampering and indulging her, she can live so worry-free. It’s a blessing!
Shi Nuan is twenty-one this year, and in less than three months, she’ll be twenty-two. But what was she doing over four years ago at seventeen?
She seemed to still be with Shen Zui, but the pressure of the college entrance exams made her devote most of her energy to studying.
Getting into T University’s Finance Department wasn’t easy, and she didn’t want to use any other means to get into this university—it had to be relying on herself.
To get everything she wants in the future, it all has to depend on herself!
Thinking carefully, if there had been someone back then to pamper, love, and protect her...
Would her heart not grow colder day by day? Would she not be the disheartened Shi Nuan she is now?
Song Yansheng said, "Actually, there’s not much difference between you two, you could talk often and become good friends. Mingmei might be mischievous and unruly, but she’s good at defending herself and could keep you safe!"
Shi Nuan responded blandly, though she didn’t feel there was any threat to her safety that needed protection!
They soon reached the second floor, and Shi Nuan’s heart beat a little faster.
Her intention was to return to her room for a nap, but Song Yansheng didn’t seem inclined to let go of her.
"I’ll nap with you today, let’s go to the master bedroom, okay?"
Although it was posed as a question, it was clearly an assertion.
Shi Nuan blushed but didn’t object. After all, Song Yansheng wouldn’t force her into anything—she trusted his character.
In the master bedroom, the room had been cleaned up tidily, the window was open, and the curtain swayed with the breeze, filling the space with a clear, warm ambiance.
Shi Nuan felt a bit dazed because the room was steeped with too much of Song Yansheng’s presence!
Yes, what she felt was full of him, ardent and pervasive—everything was his aura.
As they lay on the bed, Song Yansheng gently wrapped his hand around her waist, kissed her forehead, and said, "Sleep now!"
Shi Nuan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart.
This man’s handsome appearance, his refined and gentle demeanor, and excellent manners were impeccable.
Moreover, he treated her so well.
Were it any other woman, she might already be enchanted, fallen for him completely beyond saving.
But the person he chose was her.
