Chapter 1360: Chapter 1226: The One I Choose Is Me
Shi Nuan’s thin lips moved slightly, and after a while, she said softly, "Thank you, Teacher Chu, for the reminder, I will remember it!"
Then, she continued forward without glancing at the two people again.
Once her figure disappeared, Lin Junyi furrowed his brows and glanced at Chu Jingyun, saying, "Jingyun, why did you say such things to her? After all, it’s Song Yansheng who insisted on marrying her. No one really knows what her own wishes were, isn’t that right?"
Chu Jingyun laughed, "Yes, but she still married Song Yansheng, didn’t she? She still became the mistress of Song Mansion and the wife of the president of TK Group, isn’t that right?"
Lin Junyi was momentarily speechless.
After catching his breath, he spoke, "Jingyun, no matter what you plan to do next, I only have one request, please do not harm Shi Nuan!"
Chu Jingyun squinted at Lin Junyi, then laughed, "You really care for your student very much!"
"I care for all my students the same!"
"..." Chu Jingyun pursed her lips and then said, "So, do you care for that Lv Nan Nan just as much?"
Lin Junyi was taken aback, "Jingyun, you..."
Chu Jingyun turned her body slightly and said, "I’m sorry, Junyi, I know saying this is wrong, but we’ve known each other for so many years, no matter what happens, I still hope you can stand by my side. I hope you can support me, help me, even if it makes you uncomfortable, I still hope you’ll choose me!"
...
At the door of the lounge, Shi Nuan took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.
A voice from inside quickly answered, and Shi Nuan then turned the knob and entered.
The lounge was very elegant, and as soon as the door opened, a faint fragrance of tea wafted in the air. Song Yansheng was drinking tea with the department head, the principal, and several board members.
Upon seeing Shi Nuan enter, the department head stood up first and introduced, "Mr. Song, members of the board, let me introduce, this is Shi Nuan, she graduated from our finance department this July. Her thesis defense was quite remarkable. She’s a student with great potential and is currently working at Shi Family, involved in the cooperation project between Shi Family and Song Family, the Lishui Project..."
Actually, when the department head mentioned Shi Nuan’s name, the board members already knew who Shi Nuan was and knew why she was chosen to represent this batch of new graduates.
It’s a joke, the second daughter of Shi Yuanbo, a major shareholder of Shi Family, and a girl who once shone brightly at the Shi Family shareholders’ meeting, if she doesn’t represent them, who else can?
Shi Nuan greeted everyone politely and gracefully bowed slightly: "Principal, department head, Mr. Song, and board members, hello, I am Shi Nuan, a graduate from T University’s finance department this year!"
Everyone responded in kind, their attitudes rather friendly.
Song Yansheng also nodded in accordance with everyone, his manner natural.
But his gaze was different.
When the person he loves appears before him, the tenderness in his eyes and the smile at the corner of his lips, how could he conceal them?
After her greetings, the department head gave a couple of instructions and then let her leave.
Shi Nuan was about to go when she was stopped by a familiar voice.
It was Song Yansheng.
Shi Nuan turned her head, surprised, looking towards Song Yansheng, not knowing what he meant.
At the same time, she was also worried, hoping Song Yansheng wouldn’t do anything out of line.
Song Yansheng had a smile at the corner of his lips, his handsome face relaxed and natural, seeming to be in a good mood.
He said, "What you all might not know is, I have some connections with Nuannuan’s father, President Shi, and I’m also quite familiar with Nuannuan. Since Nuannuan is the representative of this year’s batch of new graduates, I think instead of leaving, she could stay in the lounge and join us when we go over later!"
Shi Nuan furrowed her brows looking at Song Yansheng, meaning, "Second Uncle, don’t mess around!"
Of course, Song Yansheng wouldn’t mess around, but what he wanted now, at this moment, was to simply stay with the little girl.
Moreover, since they were going to stand openly together on stage later, what’s there to fear in front of these few people now?
Song Yansheng was the main character today, and since he said so, the others naturally had no objections.
Shi Nuan gritted her teeth, feeling that Song Yansheng was doing this deliberately, how infuriating!
However, after that, Song Yansheng was constantly discussing business matters with the principal and board members, barely paying further attention to Shi Nuan.
This somewhat eased Shi Nuan’s mind.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Junyi returned, informing everyone that it was about time to head to the music hall.
They all got up and moved towards the music hall together.
Lin Junyi walked at the back, watching Shi Nuan’s slender figure walk dryly among the crowd.
Song Yansheng wasn’t in the same row as her, seemingly avoiding suspicion, yet Lin Junyi suddenly felt uncomfortable inside.
Lin Junyi had been teaching Shi Nuan’s class since sophomore year, paying a bit of attention to this girl.
He could see that Shi Nuan had great potential, but didn’t understand why her academic performance always hovered around slightly above average.
The graduation thesis defense confirmed his insight.
But since she was so exceptional, why did her academics remain so ordinary?
He used the thesis modification and publication topic to approach Shi Nuan, and sure enough, she didn’t express interest in the publication matter.
This further convinced him that Shi Nuan had been acting for the past three years.
He knew a little about Shi Nuan’s family situation, and her restraint and tolerance perhaps relate to it.
This girl was never a simple girl.
So she married Song Yansheng, and from initial shock, disbelief, to now feeling it all seems normal.
Because if the person weren’t Song Yansheng, Shi Nuan wouldn’t have married easily.
Yes, that person can only be Song Yansheng, only him.
He reached up to touch his face, though the weather was fine today, he felt the clouds dimming, the sky dulling.
People, destiny, all shackled and locked within this dimness.
Unable to move.
...
Shi Nuan followed the group through the rear entrance of the music hall.
Once here, Shi Nuan felt that she didn’t need to stay anymore—I should head downstage to find my roommates.
Shi Nuan apologized to the group, and neither the department head nor the principal insisted she stay, advising her to prepare well for the speech later.
Shi Nuan acknowledged and left.
Luckily, Song Yansheng did not stop her this time.
But as she neared her seat, she still received a text from Song Yansheng.
Just two simple words: "Good luck!"
Shi Nuan’s lips curled into a warm smile.
She quickly replied to Song Yansheng with a message of her own, also two words.
In the lounge, Song Yansheng was sipping his tea slowly.
The board members beside him were discussing T City’s economic development trends, amidst which many words flattered and praised Song Yansheng.
Song Yansheng seemed oblivious, his expression calm.
Until his phone screen cooled slightly.
Someone seated a bit closer caught sight of the message.
Just a simple smiley face, that’s all.
Yet this smiley face made the stern-faced man suddenly beam, his eyes concealing emotions...
Sunlight shining upon the city!
