Song Yansheng listened, his brow furrowed...
Did Shi Nuan mean that she loved Xiao Chuan?
Shi Nuan continued, "Second Uncle, I know that now I have no choice but to marry you, but what I want to say is that we cannot live like an ordinary couple because you have loved, and I have loved, but we don’t love each other, nor can we ever. Forcing two such people to bear the name of husband and wife... it can’t lead to happiness!"
Song Yansheng lowered his eyebrows and immediately understood the purpose of Shi Nuan’s words.
But Nuannuan, do you think that just these words can change my original intentions?
No, they can’t. You underestimate my determination to marry you!
Song Yansheng slowly spoke, asking, "Then Nuannuan, in your heart, what does a so-called happy marriage look like?"
Shi Nuan was stunned, surprised that Song Yansheng would ask her such a question.
Moreover, she actually somewhat didn’t want to answer.
She used to think that her parents’ marriage was happy; a rich family’s daughter fell in love with a poor boy, breaking through all constraints to be together.
Like a beautiful fairy tale... wasn’t it? free\we,bnovel.c o(m)
But the final result? Simply ridiculous!
"Don’t know? Or can’t be sure?"
Shi Nuan remained silent.
Song Yansheng gave a faint smile, "Since you can’t be sure, Nuannuan, how can you be certain that a marriage between us could not be happy?"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, and then she said, "Second Uncle, although I’m not sure, but... the things you want, I can’t give!"
In Shi Nuan’s view, the main reason for Song Yansheng marrying her, was because of that one night, and after that, because she bore some resemblance to the woman in his heart...
But she was Song Yichuan’s fiancée; everyone in T City knew that. Song Yansheng defied the world’s conventions to marry her, but his motives surely weren’t just as simple as wanting her body...
He once loved, but didn’t get that woman.
Now, he wants to get it from her...
A man’s desire to conquer—
But unfortunately, she can’t give it!
Love, she once had it too, she loved a boy deeply, but he left, and from then on, her love was gone.
Song Yichuan’s three years of devoted companionship didn’t capture her heart, so why would Song Yansheng be able to?
Moreover, at this moment, her heart is only filled with revenge, unable to hold anything else.
Song Yansheng being good to her, apart from making her feel guilty, had no significance!
She doesn’t want him to make futile efforts, and she’s also afraid that she wouldn’t be able to resist, leading to losing herself in his gentleness...
Just now, unable to restrain her tears, the longing for his embrace really made her a bit scared...
"Ha—" Song Yansheng suddenly sneered.
Shi Nuan was surprised to hear him say, "Nuannuan, you are indeed wise enough, yet not astute, and you often underestimate yourself, looking down on yourself too much... Moreover, though we have not been in much contact over the past four years, your understanding of me is a bit superficial!"
Shi Nuan looked sideways at him, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, "Second Uncle, I don’t quite understand... what do you mean by that?"
The man’s fair and oval face was tinged with the color of sunlight sprinkled through the car window, scattered and slightly surreal.
He gave a faint smile, saying, "Nuannuan, do you think Song Yansheng could stand where he is today just by chance? I wouldn’t call myself a bad person, but I’m also not a completely good person, nor am I a philanthropist. If I, Song Yansheng, want a woman, whoever she is, once I decide I want her, she can’t escape..."
