"I’m twenty-seven this year, from a woman’s perspective, I’m not young anymore. A Yu has never placed much importance on romantic feelings, but when people reach a certain age, they have to get married. Although I’m not that close to him, I am the woman closest to him. I thought I would eventually wait for him, no matter how long I am willing to wait..."
"But now, without any warning, without any clues, he suddenly got married. The person he married is not me... Fine, that’s okay, I lost, I admit it, but Auntie, I don’t understand, why did he marry Shi Nuan? Why Shi Nuan of all people?"
Chu Jingyun had questioned Song Yansheng before, but he hadn’t given her any answers.
Afterward, she asked Song Qingyang, who shed tears and said that Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng had betrayed Xiao Chuan together.
They had been together the night before Xiao Chuan passed away.
Chu Jingyun couldn’t believe it, the Song Yansheng she knew wasn’t like that.
Especially since the other person was Xiao Chuan, one of the people he had once said he would never dare to hurt in his life. How could he and Shi Nuan have done such a thing?
Moreover, even if it had happened, with Song Yichuan’s bones barely cold, not even buried a few days ago, how could he have taken Shi Nuan to register their marriage?
She didn’t believe it!
She felt there was another reason behind this and wanted to see Yu Yao, but when she called the Song Family Mansion, servants mostly answered.
Even Aunt Tong, the servant who had taken care of Yu Yao for many years, was dismissed in anger by Song Yansheng because of the pigeons she brought.
In the end, it was Song Qingyang who came up with this idea and was willing to bring Yu Yao out.
And she, she wanted to take this opportunity to ask Yu Yao the real reason why Song Yansheng married Shi Nuan.
Yu Yao took a sip of coffee from her side.
She wasn’t actually accustomed to drinking coffee; she preferred tea.
But there was no tea house near the theater, and only this café had a relatively quiet environment.
Putting down the cup, she spoke, "Jingyun, you’ve known A Yu for many years too. Is he someone who acts recklessly on impulse? What’s more, would he risk his marriage ? If not, then why did he do it?"
Chu Jingyun was stunned for a moment, "Auntie, I... I don’t understand, what do you mean?"
Yu Yao let out a soft sigh and said, "What else could it mean? A man, regardless of external influences, gossip, familial bonds, or everyone’s opposition, is determined to marry a woman. What do you think it means?"
Chu Jingyun’s heart fluttered slightly as if she knew the answer, but she didn’t want to believe it.
She trembled with her lips, clinging to her last sliver of hope, "Auntie, don’t tell me, A Yu he..."
Yu Yao’s voice was gentle and low, "Yes... A Yu’s feelings for Nuannuan, it’s not a rash decision, but rather deeply rooted long ago..."
Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng came downstairs around four, Shi Nuan’s face slightly flushed, but Song Yansheng had completely changed from his midday fury, his smile calm and in a good mood.
Regarding that deep kiss on the bed in the afternoon, Shi Nuan felt awkward and didn’t mention it any further.
In fact, what concerned her more was not the kiss, but Song Yansheng’s words:
——You and I, can actually try to love each other...
Could he and she try to love each other?
Then what about the woman in his heart?
He said she resembled that woman, but in their interactions, how could he distinguish if his feelings were for her or for that woman...
Moreover, she had long forgotten how to love someone...
If she didn’t know how to love, how could she be in love with him?
