Shi Nuan found it a bit unbearable how this man looked at her, somewhat doubting Song Yansheng’s feelings for her; she simply couldn’t believe he loved her.
The only possibility was that she might share a slight resemblance to a woman he once liked.
For instance, they both liked gardenias.
He was treating her as a substitute.
Shi Nuan walked down the stairs slowly but eventually reached the bottom.
Song Yansheng came over, affectionately holding her hand, and said, "Let’s go, it’s eight-thirty, I’m starving!"
Song Yansheng’s routine was breakfast between seven-thirty and eight-thirty, and today he was late for Shi Nuan.
But he wasn’t sure when Shi Nuan would get up, so he waited blindly, even a bit foolishly.
Just now, while walking in the yard, he noticed the curtain on her window on the second floor had been pulled open. His thoughts stirred, knowing Shi Nuan was awake.
He estimated her grooming time and then asked Aunt Hui to call her down.
Thankfully she didn’t keep him waiting too long; half an hour was manageable for him.
The two headed to the dining room together where the servant had prepared two sumptuous breakfasts blending Chinese and Western styles. f|ree(w)ebn\o.vel.com
Calling it sumptuous, it wasn’t really, since Shi Nuan was now a vegetarian, Song Yansheng decided to eat vegetarian at home with her.
He couldn’t have her watching him eat meat... What if it tempted the little girl?!
After they sat down, they ate breakfast quietly. Seeing Shi Nuan eat obediently and sensibly, Song Yansheng felt much at ease.
He looked at her with a smile and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Shi Nuan nodded and said, "It was okay!"
Song Yansheng smiled lightly, "Seems like you adapt well, made me worry all night for nothing!"
Shi Nuan was taken aback, lifting her head to look at the man: What was he worried about?
Actually, Song Yansheng said that on purpose, he couldn’t possibly say he had someone add a sedative to her milk last night!
"Is there anything else you need? I’m free today, I can accompany you to shop..."
Shi Nuan refused directly, saying, "I don’t lack anything, no need to buy!"
Song Yansheng nodded, "If you need anything, don’t be polite with me, just say it directly, after all, we are about to become husband and wife..."
As soon as Song Yansheng finished speaking, Shi Nuan, who was drinking hot juice, couldn’t help but cough.
Although she knew she was about to register for marriage with him, she still couldn’t get used to him mentioning it so directly!
Seeing this, Song Yansheng slightly furrowed his elegant brows, then handed over a napkin and said in a pampering tone, "Drink slowly, why the rush, no one’s competing with you!"
Seeing Shi Nuan not taking it, Song Yansheng stood up slightly helplessly, walked over to Shi Nuan and bent down to wipe her lips.
Shi Nuan, startled, leaned back in her seat. Song Yansheng’s handsome face reflected soft light as he glanced at her gently, asking, "What’s wrong?"
Shi Nuan shook her head, reaching out to take the napkin and said: "I can do it myself... just fine!"
Song Yansheng looked at Shi Nuan, at such close range, every expression on her face was clearly etched in his eyes.
The confusion, embarrassment, and a trace of shyness made him somewhat happy...
Because at least, there was no aversion.
That meant Shi Nuan did not dislike his intimate actions towards her...
Maybe, perhaps last night’s action was really unintentional...
She really didn’t dislike him!
