Back then, when he wanted to marry Shi Nuan, Shi Nuan initially refused. If it weren’t for the circumstances forcing her, she probably wouldn’t have agreed.

And after she agreed, she also understood what she would have to face in the future.

But at that time she was not afraid, because she planned to eventually leave Song Yansheng.

The relationship between the two was just mutual use. Maybe after she finishes what she wants to do and leaves happily, the outside world would still be unaware of her connection with Song Yansheng!

So now, why is she afraid?

Because her thoughts have changed, she no longer thinks about leaving him. She wants to be with him for a lifetime, wants to spend the decades of her life bound to him, Song Yansheng.

And decades, that seems swift but in reality is a long time, and her relationship with him naturally cannot be hidden.

So she’s afraid, scared, and timid...

However, she hasn’t retreated. She’s been steadfastly staying with him, hasn’t she?

Thinking through this, Song Yansheng’s mood naturally improved, and his work efficiency this morning has been much higher than usual.

If it weren’t for this gossip news intrusion, he could have maintained a pleasant mood all day, maybe even longer.

On Shi Nuan’s side, after hearing Song Yansheng’s words, she didn’t respond and didn’t know what to say.

Indeed, with Song Yansheng around, there are many things she doesn’t need to fear, but Song Yansheng has already done too much for her. Especially since she knows Yu Yao, although nice to her, always has some reservations.

Song Yansheng was put in a difficult position because of this, and she doesn’t want to add more trouble for Song Yansheng or the Song Family.

She felt very guilty, and that’s true.

Taking a breath, Shi Nuan said, "But as of now, it seems that nobody has recognized that it’s me. Second Uncle, rest assured, I will be very careful in the future, very, very careful..."

Song Yansheng sighed slightly, this little girl still can’t completely let go of that little worry and concern!

He said, "Don’t worry, I promise you, this kind of thing will definitely not happen again..."

If his relationship with the little girl were to be exposed, it would definitely be by him, Song Yansheng, not anyone else.

With this, Shi Nuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, saying, "That’s good!"

Song Yansheng asked, "Don’t think too much about it, I’ll handle this. It’s lunchtime now, obediently go have lunch, and I’ll pick you up after work! Personally!"

Shi Nuan’s heart warmed, she "mm"-ed in response, said, "Second Uncle, you must also eat on time, I’ll hang up now!"

Song Yansheng lightly laughed, responding, "Mm, I will, my Nu’an!"

...

Originally, the gossip about Song Yansheng was only spreading within a small circle, but because it involved Song Yansheng, the speed of the spread was indeed fast.

Song Yansheng had already arranged for Chi Rui to handle it, and by two o’clock in the afternoon, this news was already gone from major media news platforms.

However, in this modern society where internet technology is advanced, it is more challenging to stop the public than it is to prevent dust. Even if the media did not report it, many social platforms and forums online still had plenty of gossip.

Naturally, this news also reached the attention of many people, such as when Yu Dou and Song Qingyang were dining at another restaurant that noon.

Song Qingyang overheard two women in their early twenties discussing it while in the restroom, and after checking online, her heart instantly sank into an ice cellar.

Because she recognized at a glance that the woman with Song Yansheng was Shi Nuan.

She had anticipated this matter would be reported, but didn’t expect it to be so soon, especially since her Second Uncle was so capable.

When Song Qingyang returned, her expression was not good, yet Yu Dou’s smile became more pronounced, with a bland look on his face, he asked, "What’s wrong? Not happy?"

Song Qingyang took a deep breath, coldly replied, "No!"

Yu Dou raised his eyebrows, "Miss Song, in front of anyone else, you can suppress your emotions, but not in front of me. Do you know why?"

Song Qingyang asked, "Why?"

"It’s simple..." Yu Dou swirled the red wine in his hand, looking at her with clear eyes, saying, "Because I am the one who understands you the best, so much so that even if you want to disguise yourself, you can’t!"

"Ha!" Song Qingyang sneered, "Mr. Yu, you’re too overconfident!"

After hearing this, Yu Dou wasn’t angry, just gently put down the wine glass, saying, "Whether I’m overconfident or not, Miss Song will know sooner or later, but..."

Yu Dou paused his voice, slowly opening his mouth, his tone was gentle.

He asked her, "Miss Song, in less than two weeks, you and I will become husband and wife. Shouldn’t we change how we address each other, hmm?"
