Shi Nuan's tears kept falling uncontrollably.
Life just felt desolate, everything seemed so laughable, so ridiculous.
Mother was dead, Shen Zui was gone, Xiao Chuan had left as well; everyone who had been kind to her had disappeared.
The only person she could rely on in this world, her father, was now begging her to let go of those who wanted to harm her...
Truly, utterly ridiculous...
She said, "But Father, your plea is useless. Whatever they did, the police will investigate. I can't intervene..."
"Of course you can..."
Shi Yuanbo said, "If you just tell the police it was a game between sisters, a farce, they won't trouble them..."
"Nuannuan..." Shi Yuanbo held Shi Nuan's hand, sobbing, "Please, as a favor to your father, let them go!"
"You know, I've always cherished you in my heart, but many times, I was powerless. I am nearly fifty, at this age what can one hope for? Simply for the family to be safe and happy, but I married a virtuous wife and didn't know how to cherish her, causing your mother to die young... It's all my fault, blame me...blame only me!"
After Song Yansheng left the hospital, he didn't come by for the entire day.
It was almost nine in the evening when he reappeared at the hospital.
By then, his expression was utterly exhausted, dark circles under his eyes, yet his steps were still steady and strong.
He had kept vigil all night by Shi Nuan's bedside without leaving, then went to the funeral home twice, and during the day started arranging Song Yichuan's funeral.
In the evening, he finally had a bit of free time to rest, so he came straight to the hospital. If it weren't for being young and full of energy, he might have collapsed long ago.
Shi Nuan was not asleep, leaning against the bed, lost in thought...
Seeing him enter, she just glanced at him indifferently and said nothing more.
Song Yansheng didn't mind, walked directly to the bedside, pulled a chair and sat down, asking, "Feeling any better?"
Shi Nuan did not answer, and he didn't care, he smiled slightly and asked, "Do you dislike me that much?"
Shi Nuan closed her eyes directly, refusing to speak further.
Unexpectedly, a warm hand reached over, and she instinctively wanted to pull back; however, a slightly scolding voice from the man beside her ear said, "Don't move—"
Shi Nuan was startled and indeed didn't move.
Then, she felt her fingers being held gently by the man, then released bit by bit.
She didn't know what he was doing, but her heartbeat suddenly accelerated inexplicably. fr eewe(b)nove.l.co\m
She watched as the man's other hand reached into his pocket and then brought out something gleaming.
Then, he lowered his head, looking at her hand, and a rush of cold came from her fingertips as a shining ring was being slipped onto her finger...
Shi Nuan felt a wave of panic in her heart and instinctively tried to withdraw her hand but the man grasped her wrist and said again, "Don't move..."
The next moment, the ring was securely placed on her ring finger, fitting perfectly with flawless precision.
Then, the man's soft voice drifted into Shi Nuan's ears.
He said, "Remember, from today, you are my fiancée, Song Yansheng's fiancée!"
