Shi Nuan paused, pondering in her heart the meaning behind Shi Yuanbo’s words.
He wants to see her school performance, so does he hope she’ll perform well? Or is it enough as long as she doesn’t embarrass him?
This time for the thesis defense, Shi Nuan originally planned to just pass casually. This way, upon entering the Shi Family, Li Guirong and her daughter would be somewhat less wary of her.
But now, with Shi Yuanbo personally going to watch her defense, she really has to think about how to perform.
Shi Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Well, as you wish then!"
His daughter agreed, and Shi Yuanbo was very pleased, saying that he would head to T University after his meal to wait for her at the school gates.
Shi Nuan responded lightly and prepared to hang up the phone when Shi Yuanbo seemed to hesitate, and still asked, "By the way, Nuannuan... Will Yansheng... Yansheng be going to your defense this time?"
Shi Nuan instinctively glanced in the direction where Song Yansheng was sitting and gently said, "No!"
Shi Yuanbo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and softly said, "Alright then, hang up. We’ll meet at the school gate later!"
Returning to the dining table, Shi Nuan continued eating, while opposite her, Song Yansheng took a sip of juice and said, "Did I say I wasn’t going?"
Shi Nuan paused her eating and then said, "After my defense, I’ll call Second Uncle!"
Song Yansheng raised an eyebrow: Does this mean she doesn’t want him to go?
But from the phone conversation earlier, it seems that Shi Yuanbo would be attending Shi Nuan’s defense today.
If Shi Yuanbo goes, it would really be inappropriate for him to go too.
The young girl is about to enter the Shi Family; he doesn’t want to create enemies for her because of himself!
However, he wondered, with the situation changing now, how much effort does the young girl plan to exert in this thesis defense?
Although Song Yansheng agreed not to attend Shi Nuan’s thesis defense, that doesn’t mean he’s completely uninvolved.
After the meal, Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan shared a car to set off, one heading to the school and the other to the company.
When the car reached the city, Song Yansheng got off and switched to Yao Ziwan’s car. Before leaving, he reached out to hold Shi Nuan’s hand and gently said, "Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid. Perform well... No matter what, I am here for you!"
Shi Nuan’s eyes trembled slightly as Song Yansheng smoothly got out of the car, leaving her with only his clean, practiced silhouette.
The two cars passed each other, and Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng parted ways.
She turned her head to watch the car getting farther away, still contemplating how much effort she should put into her thesis this time.
Song Yansheng’s words seemed to provide her with an answer.
In Yao Ziwan’s car, the man sat quietly in the back seat, never turning his head.
Yet Yao Ziwan felt that the man was constantly mindful of Shi Nuan, who kept moving further away.
It wasn’t until the car turned and completely diverged from that other car that Song Yansheng slowly spoke, asking Yao Ziwan, "Is everything arranged over at T University?"
Yao Ziwan nodded slightly, saying, "It’s all arranged... At that time, the scene of the lady’s defense will be live-streamed to your office!"
Song Yansheng nodded in satisfaction, saying nothing more.
They had reached the city; TK Group was not far, and the car arrived at the destination in about ten minutes.
Just as they reached the company’s entrance, Yao Ziwan noticed a familiar figure standing there.
Moreover, it was a woman’s figure.
With good eyesight, Yao Ziwan recognized almost instantly that it was Song Yichuan’s older sister, Mr. Song’s niece, Song Qingyang!
