Chapter 1697: Chapter 1342: Now, Say "Hubby"_3

"..." Shi Nuan said speechlessly, "Why would I casually tell others about this?"

Besides, if she remembered correctly, they should be divorced already, and they haven’t remarried yet!

Although she told herself that as long as they are together, nothing else should matter, Shi Nuan still felt somewhat unhappy in her heart.

Song Yansheng said, "Of course you should let them know. When you say you’re married, people will understand the proper boundaries in interacting with you..."

Shi Nuan didn’t want to respond to him anymore.

Song Yansheng noticed his young wife was angry, sighed helplessly, and held her hand, saying, "I was jealous; couldn’t you tell?"

"Your jealousy is baseless. Bruce and I are just ordinary friends, and he has a fiancée too. His fiancée is also our classmate and my roommate!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yansheng immediately felt relieved; so that’s how it was.

"Okay, this time it’s my fault, my mistake. I didn’t clarify the facts and got jealous for nothing. Considering I’ve come all this way just to see you, could you forgive me?"

Shi Nuan initially didn’t want to pay attention to him but after thinking about how he must have spent over ten hours on a plane to come here, it truly wasn’t easy.

So she decided not to argue with him anymore.

Shi Nuan asked him, "How come you’re free to come over this time?"

Song Yansheng said, "I had some business to handle here for the company in America!"

Shi Nuan responded with a simple "oh."

Her grandmother had already been discharged from the hospital; Xu Jing and Liao Qinghe were taking care of her. With Song Yansheng’s arrival and tomorrow being the weekend, it was only natural for the two to visit her grandmother first.

To this day, her grandmother still mistook Shi Nuan for Xu Hua, and Shi Nuan had gradually gotten used to it.

She didn’t mind, but her heart ached a bit whenever she thought of her deceased mother.

Dinner was prepared together by Liao Qinghe and Song Yansheng, unexpectedly, both men’s cooking skills were quite good.

Shi Nuan was aware of Song Yansheng’s culinary skills, but Liao Qinghe had surprised her.

Xu Jing was shocked earlier as well, not expecting Liao Qinghe could cook.

Liao Qinghe just smiled lightly and said, "I started learning after my divorce. Back then, I thought maybe I could cook for you if I found you, but I didn’t get the chance for over a decade... But fortunately, now I do..."

Xu Jing listened in silence.

She couldn’t quite define her relationship with Liao Qinghe now.

Originally, she divorced partly due to her husband’s betrayal but also due to her own internal betrayal.

She often attended dance parties and banquets, mingling among different men; everyone was just playing around, and no one took these interactions seriously.

But Liao Qinghe was an exception.

He was younger than her but seemed very mature, and she had felt attracted to him before.

Especially after experiencing repeated coldness from her husband.

But she maintained her boundaries; her husband was someone she had once loved deeply, even enough to betray her family for.

However, she was also very aware that Liao Qinghe had a marriage, while she was divorced, without envisioning a future together between them.

Later, she inadvertently learned about the matter between her sister and Liao Qinghe and found it unacceptable, truly unacceptable.

She couldn’t face her sister nor Liao Qinghe.

She was very cowardly, so she chose to escape, to leave.

She knew Liao Qinghe was searching for her; it was a few years later.

Liao Qinghe divorced, but what of it?

They couldn’t be together, ever!

That day, Song Yansheng suggested they should talk things over thoroughly.

She told Liao Qinghe she couldn’t accept it, truly couldn’t.

Liao Qinghe didn’t force her; he just said, fine, but please don’t push me away.

Let me stay by your side, as friends, as family—both are fine.

He said, Naonao, you and I are the same right now; besides each other, we have nothing left!

Or, you still have your mother and Nuannuan, but apart from you...

I have no one else but you!

Xu Jing looked at Liao Qinghe and often felt her heart ache.

She knew he had once been quite the playboy, with many women; the night with her sister he might have never regarded seriously.

It was just one among his many tales of romance.

If he wished, he could continue living that lifestyle without guilt, just toying with life.

But somehow, he’s carried this burden for fourteen years, which isn’t enough; now he’s staying by her side without demanding anything, seemingly intending to devote his whole life to it!

She knew Song Yansheng is willing to see the two of them through.

He’s not sympathizing with him or her; he’s doing it for Nuannuan.

Nuannuan’s past life has been difficult enough; in the future, he hopes for it to be a bit simpler.

As for those unsolvable mysteries becoming eternal secrets, perhaps that’s for the best!
