The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 1289 - 1202: Returning Late and Gifts

That evening, Song Yansheng actually had a social engagement and had planned to go pick up Shi Nuan right after it was over.

But before getting off work he received a call from Yu Yao; she asked about Shi Nuan’s health and said she had prepared some tonics there. If he had time, she wanted Song Yansheng to arrange for someone to come and pick them up.

Yu Yao herself refused to have someone deliver them, yet asked Song Yansheng to arrange for someone to come back and fetch them; obviously, this was her way of blaming her son for coming home too rarely.

All in all, there wasn’t anything major tonight; he could let Qiao Yichi handle the social engagement. In any case, Yichi had always been better at such things than he was.

Song Yansheng suggested that he’d come back in person that night to get them, but also mentioned that Shi Nuan was having a gathering with her classmates today and probably wouldn’t be able to go with him.

Yu Yao didn’t take it to heart, only reminded Song Yansheng to be careful on the road.

That day, it was only Song Yansheng and Yu Yao at the old residence. Between mother and son, as long as they didn’t touch on sensitive topics, the atmosphere was actually quite good, and Yu Yao’s mood was decent as well.

Her mind had been unsettled the past few days. It was said that Xu Ling had prescribed a calming herbal tea for her, which she had been taking morning and night lately; it was actually quite effective.

His mother’s good health put Song Yansheng much more at ease.

Around nine thirty in the evening, Song Yansheng saw Yu Yao off to rest. Yu Yao knew that once she fell asleep, her son would definitely be heading back.

She was a bit helpless and said, "If you could really free yourself and promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you’ll stay clear-headed and rational, and never hurt yourself—especially not hurt yourself because of Shi Nuan... I don’t have any big objection to her!"

The Song Family’s reputation, the Song Family’s name, her and her husband’s good name—none of these, in her eyes, were as important as her own son!

Yes, nothing was more important than her son being safe and sound!

Looking at his mother, Song Yansheng’s thin lips moved slightly as he said, "Mom, maybe in your eyes I love Shi Nuan too much, to the point that I’ve lost my reason and clarity. Maybe. But now that I have Shi Nuan, with her by my side, my heart can finally quiet down. Once my heart is at peace, naturally I’m rational and clear-headed... So, if you truly care about me, please treat Nuannuan a little better from now on. Help me, together, to keep her by my side, always and always!"

Yu Yao looked at her son and sighed again. She said, "If you really think that way, what else can I do but indulge you? You are my son, after all!"

Song Yansheng clasped Yu Yao’s hand, and after a long moment, he gently said, "Thank you, Mom."

Yu Yao lay down very soon. After chatting with her for a few more minutes, Song Yansheng left, and Yu Yao quickly heard the sound of a car starting outside.

She knew her son had gone.

Her attitude toward Shi Nuan had always been conflicted.

She knew this was a good girl, who had even once been the Song Family’s Benefactor, setting aside the fact that she had once saved her son’s life.

Just the kindness Old Sir Xu had shown the Song Family alone meant she shouldn’t be too harsh on her.

However, that dream had still been haunting her lately; the blood in that dream still terrified her whenever she closed her eyes!

Xiuwen, oh Xiuwen, at this very moment, how I wish you could wake up and tell me what I should do?

What should I do? Go save our son?!

...

By the time Song Yansheng returned to the Song Mansion, it was already past ten o’clock.

As soon as he got out of the car, he asked Aunt Hui whether Shi Nuan had come back yet.

Aunt Hui said, "Not yet, Mr.!"

Song Yansheng’s cold, handsome brows immediately furrowed, but he forced himself to stay calm.

He didn’t say anything, went straight back to the living room, and Aunt Hui brought over a pot of tea.

Liao Qinghe also wasn’t home tonight; most likely he’d gone to "Shangmo" again. Recently, he had practically become a regular there.

Drinking tea, Song Yansheng waited for Shi Nuan. He didn’t call right away, worried that if he urged the little girl, she’d get annoyed.

After all, she rarely got the chance to get together with her roommates.

Maybe she was too happy and simply lost track of time?

Song Yansheng turned on the TV. It was an entertainment reality show; he watched for ten-odd minutes and found it very boring.

He changed the channel—an anti-Japanese war drama. After a few minutes, he still felt it was boring.

He switched channels again; this time it was a music talent show, and Shen Zui actually happened to be one of the guests.

He had wanted to change the channel immediately, but in the end he held back.

The kid had been quite well-behaved lately, but he didn’t believe that Shen had truly given up on Shi Nuan.

The fact that this kid had come back again after nearly four years away showed that his obsession with Shi Nuan ran deeper than he had imagined.

During that period after he first came back, he made a big show of himself in every way, trying to win Shi Nuan back.

However, a snot-nosed brat like him could never be a match for him, Song Yansheng.
