Chapter 1346: Chapter 1221: Second Uncle, Did You Do It on Purpose? (2)
Chi Rui answered with a low "mm."
Beside them, Aunt Hui couldn’t help chiming in with a smile, "Assistant Chi is a young, promising man, and such an upright person too. I’m sure you’ll meet a good girl to spend the rest of your life with!"
"Thank you, Aunt Hui," Chi Rui said.
Song Yansheng paused what he was doing and said, "Actually, between a man and a woman, feelings are sometimes nothing more than a matter of being understood. A girl who likes you, or a girl you like, isn’t that hard to find; in a lifetime, you’ll meet more than one. But someone who truly understands you is rare; you might go your whole life without meeting even one."
Chi Rui’s thin lips moved slightly as he said, "Mr. Song is fortunate to have met Lady. As for me... I don’t know when I’ll meet the right person."
Song Yansheng smiled. "You will, sooner or later."
Chi Rui didn’t stay long. After a short while he got up to take his leave, and Aunt Hui went to see him out.
A few minutes later, Aunt Hui came back and couldn’t help sighing to Song Yansheng, "I know a little about Assistant Chi’s background. It’s actually quite pitiable. If he hadn’t met you back then, I’m afraid..."
"Even if he hadn’t met me, he would have met someone else. So my meeting with Chi Rui is my good fortune."
Aunt Hui froze for a moment, realizing she’d misspoken, and immediately fell silent.
Song Yansheng said, "Nuannuan and Mingmei have been in the study for a while now. The tea must have gone cold. Take some hot tea over to them."
Aunt Hui responded with an "Okay" and left.
...
The next day was Monday. Shi Nuan’s period had ended, so she needed to go back to work, and naturally, so did Song Yansheng.
But neither of them felt at ease leaving Ye Mingmei alone at the Song Mansion.
Ye Mingmei blinked and said, "Then take me to your workplace to play!"
Shi Nuan then shifted her gaze to Song Yansheng.
TK Group belonged to Song Yansheng, so there was naturally no problem with letting Ye Mingmei in.
Besides, Ye Mingmei and Yao Ziwan at least knew each other, so Yao Ziwan could look after her a little.
But it was different with the Shi Family. Although Shi Nuan was the eldest daughter of the Shi Family and a shareholder of the Shi Family,
for now she was just an ordinary employee in the project department, and it would be somewhat inconvenient if Ye Mingmei went there.
Seeing the look in Shi Nuan’s eyes, Song Yansheng sighed and said, "I have an appointment this afternoon to play golf with a client. Mingmei should just come with me."
Ye Mingmei’s eyes lit up. "Really? That’s great. Brother Yu, you don’t know, I’m really good at golf!"
Song Yansheng narrowed his eyes; he actually hadn’t known that Ye Mingmei could play golf.
Ye Mingmei explained, "It’s that thing where you hit a little white ball with a club, right? I’ve seen it on TV. Once, when I went on a mission with Boss Gu, on our way back he took me to play in that city for two days. We passed a golf course, so we went in and played for a bit. I was really good! The coach kept praising me!"
Song Yansheng laughed. "In that case, come with me this afternoon."
Originally, with Song Yansheng taking Ye Mingmei to play golf, this had nothing to do with Shi Nuan.
But unexpectedly, around noon, Shi Yuanbo suddenly came to the Shi Family.
Shi Nuan hadn’t been feeling well the past few days, and Shi Yuanbo had been quite worried, but he’d held himself back from going to see her.
Now that Shi Nuan had returned to work, he had to go and check on her.
Though their father-daughter bond still couldn’t be called close, compared to before, things were much better.
If not for her miscarriage, it probably would have been even better.
During the meal, Shi Nuan didn’t say much; it was mainly Shi Yuanbo talking. He even used the public chopsticks to put a lot of food into her bowl.
Shi Nuan didn’t have much of an appetite, but that day she still ended up eating quite a lot.
After the meal, Shi Nuan was about to head back to the company when Shi Yuanbo said, "This afternoon, Yu Dou and Secretary Ji are going to visit a client. You’ve been off work for a few days—if you stay in the office, you’ll only be doing some inconsequential tasks. Why not go with Yu Dou and Secretary Ji? You can learn something along the way. What do you think?"
But Shi Nuan never expected that the person Yu Dou and Ji Xia were going to visit would also be at the golf course.
What’s more, he happened to be someone who was accompanying the client Song Yansheng had mentioned.
When Ye Mingmei saw Shi Nuan, she was so excited she could hardly contain herself. If Song Yansheng hadn’t grabbed her, she probably would have blurted out "little sister-in-law" right there.
Ye Mingmei was a smart girl, and Gu Zheng had told her before not to spread the news about Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng being married.
Though Ye Mingmei was usually quite mischievous, she followed Gu Zheng’s words most of the time.
When Yu Dou saw Song Yansheng, his expression showed a flicker of surprise, but he quickly returned to normal and greeted him, "Mr. Song, what a coincidence."
