Shen Zui squinted his eyes, looking intensely at Shi Nuan.
He said, "Yes, I still believe, always, always, I truly believe!"
"But you no longer believe in me, do you?" Shi Nuan gave a thin smile and said, "Shen Zui, you should know, the end between you and me has nothing to do with Song Yichuan, nothing to do with Song Yansheng. Our end is truly the end, with no possibility of reconciling. It’s been almost four years now, you are not who you were, and I am not who I was—what’s the point in continuing to dwell on it?"
Shen Zui furrowed his brows, his thin lips pressed tightly together, as he restrained his emotions. After a while, he said, "Alright... it’s the end, then let me ask you, how long do you plan to... entangle with Song Yansheng? A year? Two years, or three years?"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered; she knew Shen Zui misunderstood her relationship with Song Yansheng.
But in fact, whether it’s a lover’s relationship or a romantic one, it seemed to make no difference to her.
When she initially chose to marry Song Yansheng, it was also with the intent to use two years, at most two years, to resolve everything, and then leave...
She spoke frankly, "Two years!"
Shen Zui chuckled, but that laughter was clearly mixed with helplessness and heartache.
He nodded, "Two years... I should have known, you must have a purpose being with Song Yansheng. But Nuannuan, how can you be sure that after two years, Song Yansheng will let you go?"
"It doesn’t matter to him!"
Her life was her own; if she didn’t want it anymore, no one could stop her.
Shen Zui chuckled again but didn’t say anything more.
He stood up, reached for his hat, put it on, and walked step by step towards the door.
When he reached the doorway, he turned back to Shi Nuan and said, "Nuannuan, no matter what you want to do, but Song Yansheng is a very dangerous man, be careful when dealing with him!"
After saying that, he opened the door, glanced at He Meisui and others not far outside without saying anything, then turned and left.
Inside the ward, Shi Nuan still sat quietly, her face pale, eyelashes trembling.
Her mind was still replaying Shen Zui’s words:
——Song Yansheng is a very dangerous person!
Yes, Song Yansheng is indeed a very dangerous person.
But Shi Nuan felt that his danger did not come from his breathtaking appearance, nor his shrewd and wise personality, nor his decisive and forceful style in the business world...
But from his gentleness, his tenderness towards her...
This man’s gentleness was poison, colorless and tasteless, yet it could kill invisibly!
She had profoundly felt this during this time.
After Shen Zui left, He Meisui and others quickly came in to see Shi Nuan and asked her what was wrong.
Shi Nuan shook her head, saying nothing was wrong.
The others saw Shi Nuan’s pallor and, considering it involved Shen Zui, refrained from saying more, pulling Shi Nuan along as they left.
Shen Zui returned after more than three years, and with today’s events, everyone could see that Shen Zui still had feelings for Shi Nuan.
But what about Shi Nuan?
She had been previously engaged to Song Yichuan, who had been dead for some time now.
Shen Zui must have come back after hearing some news, likely aiming to win Shi Nuan back.
However, judging from Shen Zui’s unhappy expression when he left, he probably didn’t succeed.
Back then, Shen Zui left the country suddenly. Shi Nuan had just entered university and was not very familiar with He Meisui and others.
Shi Nuan didn’t sob or cry at that time, but during that period, she became much more silent, which everyone around her could feel.
