The bathroom door closed, Shi Nuan lay on the bed, her mind a little troubled.
But in an instant, she regained her composure.
Counting the days, it seemed that the mourning period for Shen Zui wasn’t over yet.
At least tonight, Song Yansheng wouldn’t do anything to her.
But it seemed there weren’t many days left, about five or six more.
Once her thesis defense was over, her reason for staying at school would be invalid, and she would move to the Song Mansion.
By then, she might truly become a couple with Song Yansheng, a real couple.
Instinctively, she bit her lip, clutching the quilt even tighter.
She told herself, it’s okay, after all, they’ve already shared the most intimate things, so what’s there to fear?
No need to be afraid.
Moreover, what she should be worried about now didn’t seem to be this matter.
But after the thesis defense, she would start her internship at the Shi Family.
That would be the real test for her.
Song Yansheng showered quickly, coming out wrapped in a towel within ten minutes.
Shi Nuan swore she hadn’t deliberately waited for him, she just got lost in her thoughts, drifting away unknowingly.
Now, seeing the man come out, her face heated up, and she instinctively closed her eyes.
Song Yansheng knew Shi Nuan was shy, but didn’t tease her. He quickly wiped the water off himself, ruffled his own hair, and walked toward the bed.
Shi Nuan instinctively shrank a bit, feeling the shadow approaching.
The man’s gentle, magnetic voice brushed against her ear, ticklish, and Shi Nuan’s eyelashes trembled lightly.
Then she trembled and opened her eyes, seeing the man’s handsome features so close, her mind went "boom," and she instinctively wanted to close her eyes again.
"After being away from you for a while, have you forgotten my scent?"
Shi Nuan’s eyelashes fluttered, not knowing what to say. Forget? How could she!
Except for the few times they’d met before, how could she forget any of the memorable things Song Yansheng had done to her over this period?
Even if she wanted to forget, she probably couldn’t!
Song Yansheng pulled back the quilt, but his hold on Shi Nuan didn’t change.
He spoke with a coaxing tone, "Be good and cooperate with me, I promise I won’t touch you..."
With Xiao Chuan’s mourning not over, she still believed in Song Yansheng’s character.
They were already married, since getting the certificate, Song Yansheng had genuinely given her enough respect.
After thinking it through, Shi Nuan glanced at Song Yansheng, blushing, and nodded lightly.
But Shi Nuan swore, if she knew what Song Yansheng would do next, she would never have agreed, even at the risk of her life...
So later, she became unwilling...
Song Yansheng gently caressed her face and said, "Nuannuan, don’t you trust me?"
Shi Nuan sniffed, her clear, beautiful eyes locked onto the man’s handsome features.
She said, "Right now I..."
Song Yansheng asked again, "Do you really not trust me?"
Shi Nuan looked into the man’s eyes, seeing complexity, helplessness, disappointment, and even a hint of pain.
Could her rejection have hurt him?
Shi Nuan’s heart inexplicably ached, and she suddenly felt a bit guilty toward Song Yansheng.
During this time, he truly had given her enough respect and helped her solve many troubles.
He even made her anxious, hopeless heart show a sign of revival.
He’s a man, an adult, mature man.
