Beautiful, smart, and decisive, she is the type of person I envy and aspire to be, yet sometimes she appears a bit too sharp.

Such a personality doesn’t quite match with Song Yansheng, for Song Yansheng is gentle and pure, like a mountain stream.

He Meisui has her own perspective on Song Yansheng. Despite what outsiders say about Song Yansheng being ruthless and vigorous, she only believes what she personally sees.

Even if those things might not be real.

He Meisui countered, "This man is indeed Song Yansheng, but the woman is just a blurred side profile. Most of her clothing is obscured by the car, so how can one be sure it’s Ji Xiangling? I don’t think so. On the contrary, I feel like it looks more like Shi Nuan..."

He Meisui just mentioned it casually since Ji Xiangling and Shi Nuan do have some resemblance in their features, but she didn’t know how much impact her words had on Shi Nuan.

Since He Meisui snatched her phone, she only caught a fleeting glance at the photo, yet it was enough to recognize that the people in the picture were indeed her and Song Yansheng.

It was after the T University anniversary celebration when Song Yansheng took the excuse of treating her roommates to dinner but then booked another room next to theirs.

Later, he took her away privately, leaving her with no time even to say goodbye to her roommates.

The photo was taken at the restaurant entrance with her and Song Yansheng.

She still remembered that day when a waiter went upstairs to get her bag and they waited in the car for a while!

Never did she expect to be secretly photographed. Judging by the angle, the paparazzo must have been upstairs in the restaurant, choosing a very peculiar spot.

Because one could see Song Yansheng clearly, but not her appearance or attire.

Shi Nuan anticipated that their relationship would be exposed to the public one day, but never imagined the first clue would emerge like this.

He Meisui and Ou Xiaoning were still arguing about whether the photo showed Ji Xiangling, but Shi Nuan no longer wanted to listen.

The news had been reported, and she felt the need to contact Song Yansheng.

Song Yansheng was more informed than she was and might already be aware of it.

Rather than waiting for Song Yansheng to call and risk being misunderstood by her roommates, it would be better for her to call him first and ask about the situation.

She stood up and said, "I’m going to the bathroom!"

Neither He Meisui nor Ou Xiaoning paid her any heed, but Lv Nan Nan glanced at her and nodded.

Shi Nuan was just about to head to the bathroom when she heard He Meisui exclaim in surprise, "Another... another big scoop... An anonymous taxi driver reported to a journalist that he once drove a gentle and beautiful young woman to the Song Mansion.

Although this woman resembled Ji Xiangling a bit, he claimed he was sure she wasn’t Ji Xiangling, saying she was younger and more beautiful...

The driver also said that although the woman claimed her parents worked at the Song Mansion, she entered freely, and at the entrance, he noticed that the security guards even saluted her, as if she had the demeanor of a hostess..."

Shi Nuan: "..."

...

In the bathroom, Shi Nuan took a deep breath in front of the mirror at her reflection.

How to put it? There wasn’t much feeling, just a sense of a tumultuous time looming.

But she blamed herself. She shouldn’t have taken a taxi back to the Song Mansion that day; she could have called Old Zhang to pick her up.

However, the circumstances that day were indeed unusual, and knowing the truth, she was in a terrible mood.

Taking a taxi with a rebellious spirit was really just a way to vent, though she knew it was meaningless.

After slightly adjusting her thoughts, Shi Nuan called Song Yansheng, not expecting him to pick up immediately.

"Hello, Nuannuan?"

No matter the time, this man’s voice was always so clear and pleasant.

Shi Nuan’s lips slightly moved as she softly said, "I’m sorry... Second Uncle!"

A light chuckle came from the other side, "What’s wrong? Did Nuannuan do something wrong?"

Shi Nuan made a sound of acknowledgment. Indeed, she had done something wrong, so her apology was sincere.

Song Yansheng laughed again and said, "Silly girl, what are you afraid of? Didn’t I tell you, with me here, you have nothing to fear?"

This morning, Song Yansheng asked her if she was afraid.

Although she didn’t answer then, her demeanor suggested that she was, and now, with a little harmless speculative report, she was already nervous enough to call him.

This fear seemed deeper than he had imagined.

Although he was somewhat annoyed this morning, on the way to TK, he seemed to slowly come to terms with many things.
