The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 1338: Chapter 1218: Unable to Remain Uninvolved (3)

But after knowing the truth, she could have told Song Yansheng, yet she didn’t, indicating that in her heart, she actually approved of Father’s actions.

Of course, she wasn’t doing it to protect Shi Jiaojiao; she was doing it to protect the Shi Family, the Shi Household, and Father.

Shi Nuan took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and said, "Dad, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first!"

"Wait..." Shi Yuanbo’s thin lips moved slightly, but he still spoke, "You... your sister is about to get engaged; the exact engagement time is still under negotiation, but it should be within this year. Once... once it’s settled, I’ll let you know!"

Did Shi Yuanbo mean for her to attend the engagement party?

Shi Nuan smiled thinly again, but also detected the cautiousness in Shi Yuanbo’s words.

Forget it, as Father said, she’s her own sister after all, the only one in this world besides Father with whom she shares a blood relationship.

She said, "Alright, I got it!"

"Then Nuannuan, take good care of yourself, I... I’ll hang up first!"

Shi Nuan responded with a "Hmm," but didn’t hang up right away.

Only after Shi Yuanbo hung up did she gently put down the phone.

...

Although the Song Mansion lacks nothing, the next day Shi Yuanbo still sent over quite a few things.

Not much in terms of tonics; mostly books, and Shi Nuan recognized many that Mother had read before she passed.

They used to be kept in Father’s study, so she couldn’t take them; surprisingly, they were sent by Father now.

Song Yansheng looked and said, "Your father certainly knows how to cater to preferences!"

Shi Nuan was browsing through the books and said, "Father is merely entrusting these books to me for safekeeping!"

"Entrusting them to you for safekeeping?"

Shi Nuan didn’t speak, beginning to pack up those books.

They were Mother’s possessions, and most treasured as well; she hoped to pack them herself.

Shi Yuanbo understood Shi Nuan’s intentions and didn’t have Aunt Hui or any other servants help, only ensured they brought tea, and then helped Shi Nuan with sorting. Shi Nuan didn’t exhibit much resistance.

Song Yansheng said while placing books on the shelf, "Mother-in-law must have been a very learned person!"

Shi Nuan asked, "Why does Second Uncle say so?"

Song Yansheng laughed, "It’s simple, really. There are several boxes of books, and it seems there’s even more than this. I can see these books, although very new, have notes of various sizes upon opening, indicating Mother-in-law carefully read and annotated them before. Being so meticulous shows she was a book lover, and book lovers must necessarily be learned individuals, right?"

Shi Nuan pouted and said, "By that logic, Second Uncle’s study has even more books, and most of them have been read and annotated too. So is Second Uncle complimenting his own erudition?"

Song Yansheng gazed at Shi Nuan, his dark eyes deeply looking at her, saying, "Does Nuannuan not think so?"

Shi Nuan bit her lip and said, "Second Uncle should first help me sort these books well... Additionally, what Second Uncle said is right; what Father sent this time is just a portion. Should there be more in the future, I’m afraid I’ll really need to borrow your study’s shelves!"

Song Yansheng laughed, "Then borrow them for Nuannuan, or I could have another room redecorated specifically for storing Nuannuan’s books? But if so, Nuannuan would also have a study, and how could she then spend leisurely, idle afternoons with me?"

Shi Nuan pouted again, choosing not to say more, as now the time spent with Song Yansheng sorting books felt warm and lovely, worthy of remembrance.

There weren’t many books, yet the two spent nearly an hour together tidying up. Afterwards, Song Yansheng, worried Shi Nuan might be tired, had her rest in bed.

Shi Nuan’s menstrual period was almost over, and her body wasn’t seriously unwell, but Song Yansheng still remained cautious, afraid of any oversights.

Song Yansheng’s concern moved Shi Nuan, but she felt his protection was almost too good, which wasn’t entirely favorable.

She’s been married to Song Yansheng for nearly half a year, and during this time, things have been too smooth and comfy; many things she should be doing ought to be started after she recovers.

The first thing she plans to do is visit the Yao Family, meet with Yao Shuyan, and reach a cooperation agreement to lay her first foundation.

After that, she’ll have to start from inside the Shi Family.

With Father on her side undoubtedly, not to mention he doesn’t much interfere with company matters for now, her target should be... Yu Dou?
