Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to respond.
She looked out the window. At this moment, in City T, the rain had passed, and the sky was bright and clear, with soft sunlight and fresh air.
A nameless emotion surged in her chest, making her feel a bit breathless.
Song Yansheng, not hearing a response for a long time, chuckled and changed the topic: "Are you at school now?"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, and she softly said "mm," as a response.
Song Yansheng said, "Stay at school and don’t wander around. If you need anything, call Secretary Yao. She will arrange it for you, and also..."
He paused, then said, "Remember to behave and don’t do anything that might upset me... okay?"
Shi Nuan was taken aback.
She wasn’t stupid; she knew Song Yansheng was hinting at something.
The last time she saw Shen Zui, although it wasn’t as she intended, she did meet him.
She had once thought about hiding her dealings with Shen Zui from Song Yansheng, but after thinking it over, what was there to hide?
It wasn’t a secret; many of her friends knew, and so did Song Yichuan, who was very close to Song Yansheng.
Even if Song Yichuan didn’t say anything, someone as capable as Song Yansheng could easily dig up her past.
Now, he was merely telling her: he forgave her for meeting Shen Zui last time, but there would be no second chance!
If possible, Shi Nuan wouldn’t want to meet Shen Zui either, but how could she control Shen Zui’s actions?
So, Shi Nuan replied, "I will do my best..."
Song Yansheng paused, then pulled a smile and said, "Nuannuan, you always leave me helpless!"
Shi Nuan didn’t ponder over the meaning behind his words, simply saying, "You’ve just arrived in America, it must be quite late there. You should rest well, don’t worry about me here!"
Shi Nuan said this, and Song Yansheng had no choice but to say, "Alright then!"
He added, "I’m not sure how long I’ll stay in America this time, but I’ll try to come back before your graduation thesis is due!"
Shi Nuan wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but ultimately she didn’t, fearing it might upset Song Yansheng.
So she said, "Got it!"
Song Yansheng, in a relatively good mood, hung up the phone and reminded Shi Nuan to think of him.
Holding the phone, Shi Nuan felt her heart stir again.
This kind of "enthusiasm" from Song Yansheng, could it be because of what he said last time about "trying to love each other"?
Her face became inexplicably warm, thinking that Song Yansheng must have gone mad.
She knew he was incredibly charming and good at flirting, but this wasn’t what they had initially agreed upon.
In a certain sense, it was completely against it!
Moreover, there were too many issues between them.
The fact that she was once Song Yichuan’s fiancée could easily tarnish his glowing image.
How could he tolerate such a thing?
They were completely different.
He had his grand career and vast ambitions.
She had her personal vendettas, unresolved grievances.
How could such people possibly be together?
Perhaps when Song Yansheng spoke of love, it was merely to make her fall for him.
Yes, she was so aloof, indifferent, and oblivious to his advances, that his male pride must have taken a hit.
No man can stand this.
He had experienced so much, seen all kinds of women, how could he possibly have feelings for a mere girl he hadn’t seen often?
For instance, in this school’s foreign language department, there was a teacher named Chu Jingyun, who also had some involvement with him.
