Chapter 1242 - 1173: Second Uncle, I Won’t Be Fickle
Aunt Hui didn’t say much, responded, and went out with the others.
Liao Qinghe glanced around indifferently, then walked to the window.
The night outside was deep, but the main road of the Song Mansion was ablaze with lights, extraordinarily bright.
Two figures walked hand in hand in this dazzling light, creating a beautiful scene that intoxicated people.
Liao Qinghe’s lips curled into a smile as he thought of the conversation he had with Wen Biyue before returning to the country.
He asked Wen Biyue, "Why me?"
Wen Biyue’s eyes lowered, her gaze falling outside the window.
At that time, it was also night; the night in America was as clear and silent as it was at home, leaving people perplexed.
Then, Wen Biyue gently spoke, "I want you to help me find my brother!"
Liao Qinghe was taken aback, "You mean, your brother is in T City?"
"Yes..." Wen Biyue said, "I received reliable information that my brother appeared in T City. Currently, I have Yansheng helping me investigate, but I’m afraid he might be burdened by other things. Even if he finds something, he might not dare to tell me..."
He squinted slightly and asked Wen Biyue, "Then how do you know I’ll tell you?"
Wen Biyue smiled faintly and said, "It’s simple, because I saved your life, and you’re the type of person who dislikes owing others the most!"
Naturally, moving into the Song Mansion was his own suggestion. It’s not that he wanted to put Song Yansheng in a difficult position; he just noticed that this man seemed to have a bit of... obsession when it came to emotions.
He found this very interesting; obsessive people are always passionate.
He could see that Song Yansheng had a strong possessiveness over Shi Nuan, to the extent of bringing rejection and aggression towards all other females.
This was not a good thing because from his shallow understanding, Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng had only known each other for a little over four months.
He was very curious about how this love, imbalanced by eight years, was sustaining such a harmonious state.
And how this little girl in her early twenties managed to capture the attention of the legendary business icon Song Yansheng, even well-known among the Chinese communities in America.
After all, once the scales of love topple, it’s either betrayal or mutual destruction.
...
Downstairs, Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng strolled leisurely, Song Yansheng noticed the lights in the third-floor window.
The evening shadows swayed, but he didn’t see anyone. Shi Nuan, curious, followed his gaze and asked, "Are you looking at Mr. Liao?"
Song Yansheng’s thin lips moved slightly, and he suddenly said, "Nuannuan, can you promise me something?"
Shi Nuan looked at him, the streetlight’s soft glow casting upon the man’s profile. His eyes were half-closed, his expression was very gentle, but his gaze was dark and deep.
She nodded and said, "Second Uncle, you say..."
"Be cautious when interacting with Liao Qinghe, especially remember to... keep your distance!"
Shi Nuan was startled and then frowned, "Second Uncle still doesn’t trust me?"
Song Yansheng shook his head, "No, I just feel that Liao Qinghe came to the Song Mansion to cause me trouble... In business, he could directly cause trouble through projects, but on a personal level, the only thing that could trouble me relates to you..."
...
One early morning, Shi Nuan woke up a bit earlier than Song Yansheng. She got up to use the bathroom, and upon returning, she found the man on the bed already awake.
Shi Nuan glanced at the time on the wall clock, 6:30.
Although it was pretty early, considering summer wasn’t over, if not for the curtains, the room would have been bright by now.
Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle, do you want to continue sleeping or get up?"
Song Yansheng smiled and said, "Actually, before I married Nuannuan, I used to get up at six every day. Nuannuan, you’ve made me lazier!"
Shi Nuan was momentarily stunned. Since she started sharing a room and bed with Song Yansheng, she felt this man was actually quite a sleeper.
On weekends, he could even sleep past eight, yet now he was telling her he used to get up at six regularly.
It seemed like she was the one who loved sleeping in.
Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle can maintain his previous routine, don’t mind me!"
If he could really wake up at six, she might not even sleep past 6:30 in this season.
She even thought it was he who influenced her routine!
Song Yansheng chuckled and said, "How could that be? I enjoy the feeling of holding Nuannuan while sleeping far more than getting up early... Hmm, Nuannuan, do you like the feeling of being held by me while sleeping?"
Shi Nuan frowned and said, "I don’t like it!"
After speaking, she directly walked to the window, reaching out to pull the curtain open. The weather outside was nice, with the sky clearing from dark clouds.
