He couldn’t bear it.

What does it feel like to love someone? He actually experienced it deeply over these eight years.

To him it was just a sudden infatuation, but to Song Yansheng, it was etched in his heart and written deep in his soul.

In terms of love, he felt ashamed and far inferior.

Chi Rui was thinking, while Song Yansheng, leaning back with eyes closed, suddenly stirred and woke up.

Chi Rui quickly approached, softly calling out, "Mr. Song..."

Song Yansheng responded with a soft "Hmm", then asked Chi Rui, "Has the person been sent away?"

Chi Rui nodded, "Sent away..."

He paused and then added, "Mr. Song, would you like me to take you back to rest for a while?"

Song Yansheng shook his head, "No need..."

Then he reached for his phone, glanced at the time, and said, "Prepare the car, we’ll go back to the office later, I’ll make a call to Nuannuan..."

Chi Rui’s eyes flickered, finally nodding and saying, "Okay, Mr. Song!"

...

At Shi Group, it was two thirty in the afternoon, and Shi Nuan had just gotten into work mode not long ago.

A burst of phone ringing interrupted her thoughts.

Seeing the caller, Shi Nuan’s heart skipped a beat, she quickly stood up and took the phone outside.

Everyone around was busy, no one noticed her, Shi Nuan quickly left the project department.

She soon turned into a nearby temporary meeting room to take the call.

This meeting room was mainly used for project team discussions, and it was empty at the moment, just right.

"Hello, Second Uncle..."

Song Yansheng responded with a gentle "Hmm", asking, "Are you busy?"

Shi Nuan replied, "Yes, indeed, just now? Um, does Second Uncle have something?"

Across the phone line, the man’s voice was deep and magnetic, mixed with a hint of hoarseness.

He said, "Nothing really, I just suddenly wanted to hear Nuannuan’s voice..."

Shi Nuan flushed and uttered an "Oh", then asked Song Yansheng, "So what’s Second Uncle doing now? Not busy?"

"Just sent away a client, temporarily not too busy!"

"Oh..." Shi Nuan bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

Song Yansheng leaned back on the sofa, a smile at the corner of his mouth, saying, "Nuannuan, you know what? Just now I rested here for a while and had a dream..."

Shi Nuan responded with a "Hmm", asking, "What did Second Uncle dream about?"

"I dreamed we had a wedding, a grand, grand wedding, Nuannuan at the wedding said she was willing to marry me as my wife, never to leave me in this lifetime.

The scene shifted to our wedding’s first anniversary, at that time, Nuannuan was pregnant, her belly very big, I touched the child in Nuannuan’s belly, feeling him move, Nuannuan told me: this is the fruit of our love.

Then, our child was born, grew up, about five or six years old, Nuannuan and I walked behind, the child ran and played ahead, occasionally turning back to call mom and dad, Nuannuan’s smile was particularly beautiful, my mood was particularly good. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Later, our child grew up and had his own life, seldom at home, but it didn’t matter, Nuannuan still accompanied me, I still felt very happy.

It was a rainy night, I was sick, lying in bed, Nuannuan held my hand saying she would be with me forever, never leaving..."

Song Yansheng’s voice paused, then said, "I think if I have a little more time, I will dream of us growing old, both of our hair turning gray, I am older than Nuannuan and probably unable to walk, Nuannuan pushing me in a wheelchair on a path covered in red maple leaves...

I ask Nuannuan if she ever regrets meeting me, then I wait for Nuannuan’s answer... Hmm, if Nuannuan could give me a definite answer, I would be very happy, very happy..."

Listening to Song Yansheng’s description, clearly warm and soft, Shi Nuan inexplicably felt like shedding tears.

These scenes were ones she used to dare not imagine, or even think about, but now, she also looked forward to them like Song Yansheng.

She too wanted to have a future with Song Yansheng, a wedding, children, and then grow old together until the end of life.

But, could she? Could they? She wasn’t quite sure.

Because in the future, they still have to face many many things...

And that dream, a dream that still frightened her thinking about it, she didn’t know how to say it...

Taking a breath, Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle, I will give you an answer... wait for me, I will use my life to give you an answer!"
