Chapter 188: 188, Hesitate, hesitate to move forward
Song Qinghuan widened her eyes in shock, “What did you just say? Shi Yuhuan, he …”
“Even though I have many grandsons, I have high hopes for Yuhuan. The future of the Shi family can only be inherited by him. I hope he lives well and is not so cold anymore.” While saying this, Shi Xiuren took several heavy sighs.
At this moment, Song Qinghuan no longer sees him as the formidable figure who transverses the black and white landscape, but just a pitiful man in his waning years.
He said again, “My child, this now depends on you!”
“I …” Song Qinghuan stuttered, not knowing how to respond.
She should tell this old man the real relationship between her and Shi Yuhuan; that it’s not as he imagines, and that he can’t rely on her; she can’t provide any warmth to Shi Yuhuan.
Shi Xiuren added, “I originally wanted to keep you both here for a few extra days, because Yuhuan’s birthday is in two days. But due to today’s events, it seems you two will return tomorrow morning. With regard to his birthday, just let the two of you enjoy it. He likes a quiet environment and doesn’t like a crowd.”
“Oh, I understand!” Song Qinghuan responded with a slight smile.
“Alright, I won’t say more. Hurry and eat, it’s getting cold,” Shi Xiuren stood up as he finished speaking. Song Qinghuan also immediately stood up reaching out to assist him, “Grandpa, let me escort you.”
After Shi Xiuren left, Song Qinghuan shut the door, but she didn’t resume eating. Instead, she laid down in bed, staring blankly at the luxurious crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
Birthday… It turns out that Shi Yuhuan’s birthday is in two days. Grandpa asked her to celebrate his birthday for him. How should she do it?
As she thought about it, Song Qinghuan fell asleep again. Deep into the night, she felt herself being held in a firm, warm embrace.
She knew who it was. She turned and nestled into his chest, “You’re back!”
“Hmm, sleep,” Shi Yuhuan’s voice was muffled and tired.
Song Qinghuan rested her hand on his arm. Listening to his steady heartbeat, she fell sweetly into her dreams in his warm embrace.
There are countless people in the world, and when love arrives, everyone’s attitudes will differ significantly.
Some people throw caution to the wind. Some are casual and indifferent. Some wait patiently. Some hesitate to move forward.
Song Qinghuan is one of the latter. She is hesitant, distrustful, scared to move forward, and afraid of showing her feelings incorrectly.
Tomorrow is Shi Yuhuan’s birthday, but she is still hesitating about whether to celebrate it. Even though there’s an ambiguity between her and Shi Yuhuan, with them embracing each other every night, she remembers Shi Yuhuan once said not to consider herself his wife.
Therefore, she is scared.
She has decided not to celebrate Shi Yuhuan’s birthday, to avoid any sarcastic remarks.
This man is too complex. She really can’t fathom his mind.
On the day of Shi Yuhuan’s birthday, Aunt He sent Song Qinghuan dessert for breakfast at her request.
The breakfast from Monday to Sunday was fixed by Shi Yuhuan, and she was fed up with it. So she asked for something different.
Shi Yuhuan returned a bit late last night, so he didn’t come to her bedroom and slept in the villa at the back.
In the morning when he came in to have breakfast, he carried a plastic bag.
When he saw that the breakfast for Song Qinghuan was different from his, he suddenly reached out and moved Song Qinghuan’s dessert to his own plate.
