Chapter 1700: Chapter 1343: Not Fond of Husbands and Wives Living Apart (3)

Yu Yao finished speaking, looked at her son who was frowning silently, and softly said, "A Yu, Mother knows saying this is difficult for you, but consider it as giving me, giving the Song ancestors some face, so that Qingyang’s remaining life is a bit better."

Song Yansheng pressed his lips together and said, "Mom, I understand what you mean. Although Qingyang was at fault in the past, since I’ve decided not to pursue it, I won’t go back on my word. As for the matter of shares, it’s not appropriate for me to address it; you should ask Nuannuan..."

"Ask Nuannuan? What do you mean by that?"

"Mom, I plan to hand over the management of the Song Family to Nuannuan after she returns from completing her studies."

Yu Yao was slightly taken aback but quickly understood that Song Yansheng was establishing prestige for Shi Nuan.

Of course, this wasn’t about establishing prestige in front of her, but in front of Song Qingyang.

Yu Yao didn’t know whether Song Yansheng was aware of Song Qingyang’s feelings for him, but regardless of whether he knew, if he truly wanted a peaceful future, eliminating the hidden threat in Song Qingyang’s heart indeed required Shi Nuan to step forward.

She nodded and said, "I understand... I hope Qingyang doesn’t let you down!"

...

When Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng went to see Shi Yuanbo, only Shi Yuanbo and Shi Tianchao were at the Shi Family home.

After Shi Jiaojiao married Shen Zui, she moved out of the Shi Family home.

Shen Zui bought a house in T City for Shi Jiaojiao, but he was very busy with work, especially now, as he was preparing for a global concert tour. Shi Jiaojiao often stayed at home alone.

Shi Yuanbo said, "Actually, I can see that Shen Zui doesn’t like Jiaojiao. The whole concert thing is just an excuse. Jiaojiao used to complain, but the more she complained, the less Shen Zui stayed home. She was angry but helpless. I want to help, but as an elder, interfering in a young couple’s private life doesn’t feel right. Ah, it’s truly worrisome!"

Shi Nuan didn’t know what to say and ended up talking about other topics with Shi Yuanbo, who didn’t say much more.

After having lunch at the Shi Family home, Song Yansheng took Shi Nuan away. They planned to go to Anshan to pay respects to the Song ancestors and Shi Nuan’s grandfather and mother.

On the way, Shi Nuan was a bit lost in thought. Song Yansheng noticed and asked, "What is it? Can’t let go?"

What she couldn’t let go of didn’t need to be said.

Because it involved Shen Zui, Shi Nuan feared Song Yansheng would take it the wrong way, so she said, "Don’t think too much about it. I’m just reflecting. Around us, there are so many couples who are united in name only, like Shen Zui and Shi Jiaojiao, like Yu Dou and Song Qingyang. So what is love in this world? When love and fate conflict, what should we do?"

Song Yansheng reached out and held Shi Nuan’s hand, saying, "Do what you can do? Follow your heart’s desires, and that’s enough!"

Shi Nuan rolled her eyes at him, "It’s not that simple. Besides, when I married you, it wasn’t because of love either..."

"But I was..."

Song Yansheng said, "Maybe not all couples in this world get together because of love, but whether love can develop after coming together depends on the mutual understanding between two people. There are marriages in this world, and there are also divorces. If one truly doesn’t want to continue, they can absolutely choose to let go. This is an open society, and everyone has the right to choose who they love and the right to pursue their love..."

Shi Nuan looked at him and asked, "Then Second Uncle, were you exercising your right to pursue your love back then?"

Song Yansheng nodded, "You could say that!"

"But I’m not. I was..."

"I what?"

Shi Nuan remembered that night, feeling her face flush and heart race.

"Um, what I mean is, I was... tempted by you, Second Uncle!"

The word "tempted" seemed to delight Song Yansheng. He clasped her hand tightly and said, "We tempted each other mutually, mm, a mutual temptation with shared affections!"

Shi Nuan glanced at him and smiled, her smile warm.

...

Back in America again, facing heavy coursework, Shi Nuan immersed herself once more, leaving many things behind.

This time, Song Yansheng didn’t return with her as the Lishui Project was nearing completion, with some follow-up work needing his attention.

Additionally, Wen Biyue was now in the country and seemed to have some business to discuss with him.

That afternoon, Shi Nuan didn’t have any classes for the last two periods and planned to visit her Younger Aunt’s place to see her grandmother. Unexpectedly, just as she packed her things and stepped out of her dorm, her phone rang.

She glanced at the number, and the name displayed instantly made her frown!
