Chapter 1263 - 1186: I Know It’s You
After all, Xu Hua is deceased, and Shi Nuan is her only daughter. Song Yansheng, being this devoted, would most likely protect her for a lifetime.
She knew it, everyone knew it.
But even if they are husband and wife, without love, this relationship certainly won’t last long.
She didn’t believe that Shi Nuan’s compliant nature would truly endure being a replacement for her mother.
Her fingers tightened, and she told herself not to panic, absolutely not to panic.
Shi Nuan’s uncontrollable retort indicated that her words truly affected her.
It showed she really cared about being a replacement, which was good, very good!
...
Shi Nuan returned to the office once again; the lunch break was about over.
Since there wasn’t much work to do, she didn’t want to stay in the office any longer.
She packed her things, told Zou Rong, and left work early.
Some colleagues in the project department noticed her, like the young man who had a crush on her.
Everyone knew that Shi Nuan was hospitalized not long ago due to health issues, and Shi Yuanbo specifically instructed for his daughter to rest well and not be given too much work.
They had witnessed Shi Nuan’s abilities, her speech at the shareholders’ meeting, which Yu Dou had played during her hospital stay, even holding a discussion about it.
The project department members were all carefully selected by Yu Dou, especially for this Lishui Project, where he brought in most of the company’s key members.
It’s a world where you rely on capability; without capacity or results, Yu Dou also wouldn’t take notice, no matter the high degree or certificates.
And Shi Nuan was also selected by Yu Dou.
Having followed Yu Dou for years, they understood his nature; he wouldn’t have inserted someone just because Shi Yuanbo said a word.
He knew the measure.
Nobody opposed as Shi Nuan left since even Yu Dou had silently approved.
Shi Nuan left the Shi Family, heading straight to a taxi.
The driver asked where she was headed, Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered as she replied, "Please, the Song Mansion!"
The driver was startled, somewhat incredulous: "Did you say you want to go?"
"The Song Mansion!"
Shi Nuan repeated, her tone unaltered but enunciated clearly.
Just as clearly as the first time.
The driver wasn’t mishearing, just puzzled.
Who in T City wouldn’t know that the Song Mansion was Song Yansheng’s residence?
Almost no buildings surrounded it, and a specially made road led exclusively to the Song Mansion.
The scenery there was beautiful, with a good geographical location, and naturally occupied a very large area.
To say it’s the best villa in T City wouldn’t be an exaggeration, plus there’s a rumor that the residence was personally designed and supervised by Song Yansheng.
When it was completed five years ago, the editor-in-chief of a renowned architectural and fashion magazine in T City personally went to TK Group to find Song Yansheng, hoping to interview him.
To have a glimpse of the mansion’s magnificence and do a special report on it.
But the editor didn’t even get to meet Song Yansheng, being sent away.
In those years, only a few have truly witnessed the "true appearance" of the Song Mansion, and the servants and even the flower farmers there were all strictly selected.
Before working at the Song Mansion, they had to sign confidentiality agreements, not revealing anything about the mansion or Song Yansheng.
To many, the Song Mansion was an unattainable existence, yet at this moment, this little girl wanted to say she was going there.
Though curious and puzzled, the driver started the car, having no grounds to refuse business.
On the way, the driver seized the opportunity to chat with Shi Nuan, asking: "Little girl, what are you going to the Song Mansion for?"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered; ordinarily, she would dismiss it with just "something."
But today, after all, she was being wilful, so she said, "Heading home!"
"Ah? You live at the Song Mansion?" The driver seemed even more incredulous.
Shi Nuan gently let out a "Hmm."
Considering this as being wilful once more.
The driver squinted at Shi Nuan.
This girl was in plain attire but carried an excellent demeanor.
She didn’t seem like a girl from an ordinary family.
He pondered, then asked: "So, little girl, your parents work at the Song Mansion?"
Shi Nuan lowered her eyes; she knew she could only be wilful once or twice, not a third time.
The relationship between her and Song Yansheng could not be disclosed; they were husband and wife, the most intimate people.
Yet she couldn’t tell others: Song Yansheng is my husband, I am Song Yansheng’s wife!
Shi Nuan responded softly, then said, "My parents... both work at the Song Mansion!"
This revelation made the driver finally nod in understanding.
Simultaneously, he marveled internally.
Even the daughter of the Song Mansion’s servants could have such a good demeanor; indeed, the Song Mansion is extraordinary.
Afterward, the driver refrained from asking further, peacefully driving, while Shi Nuan stared out from within the car.
Today the sun wasn’t meek; though the weather was hot, there was no feeling of stuffiness, making the whole world seem harmonious and tranquil.
Yet her world, amidst this harmony and tranquility, had been shattered.
Simultaneously she worried about one thing: even Ji Xiangling knew about her pregnancy and miscarriage, so how long could she conceal this from Song Yansheng?
She told Shi Yuanbo it could be hidden temporarily but not indefinitely, and wasn’t the same true for Song Yansheng?
But such a cruel truth, how could she tell Song Yansheng? How could she ever disclose it to him?
Unknowingly, her eyes began to ache, and she bit her lip, taking a deep breath to stifle her tears.
A miscarriage also required a small period of confinement, and crying during this period wasn’t good for the eyes.
She needed to take good care of herself, especially her body, recovering as quickly as possible.
To keep Song Yansheng from worrying, and for... the hope of having children with him in the future.
In that time, she would certainly not be as careless as this time, she would, undoubtedly, protect their child well!
Undoubtedly, undoubtedly!
Additionally, if truly unable to conceal it for a lifetime, she hoped at least to tell him when she had some new good news to share with him.
In that way, even if it was sad, it could be slightly alleviated, right?
At least, it wouldn’t hurt as much as it does now, wouldn’t it?
As the car drove onto the road leading directly to the Song Mansion, Shi Nuan’s phone rang; the caller was none other than Song Yansheng, who occupied her thoughts and fears just moments ago!
Shi Nuan adjusted her breathing and answered.
Song Yansheng’s voice came through, asking, "Nuannuan, it’s me!"
Listening to such a gentle voice, the emotions Shi Nuan had just managed to stabilize were stirred once again.
She gently hummed, responding: "I know, it’s you!"
Song Yansheng chuckled: "Just finished socializing and heading back to the company. I found time to call you on the road, what are you doing? Working?"
Shi Nuan pursed her lips, saying: "No, I’m now on my way back to the Song Mansion!"
Song Yansheng was taken aback, not quite believing: "What did you say?"
