Chapter 1248 - 1175: The Woman He Most Wants to Marry

The garden at Song Mansion is very large; this largeness isn’t limited to just the front yard, it also has a backyard.

Shi Nuan had walked around Song Mansion many times with Song Yansheng, but it seemed that each time, she never quite finished exploring the entire garden.

This time, she was walking around Song Mansion again with someone, but this time the person wasn’t Song Yansheng; instead, it was Liao Qinghe.

Song Yansheng had warned Shi Nuan not to make too much contact with Liao Qinghe. It was evident that Song Yansheng, because of her promise, had shown restraint; yet he still seemed unable to achieve calmness and peace of mind.

Shi Nuan wasn’t disappointed or angry; Song Yansheng had his own insecurities, and this man had admitted more than once his lack of confidence in front of her.

Although she did not understand, she could empathize, because in front of Song Yansheng, she too felt insecure.

"Mr. Song is truly a lover of flowers!" Staring at the overwhelming fragrance of flowers filling the garden, Liao Qinghe couldn’t help but sigh.

Shi Nuan answered with a hum, saying, "He really likes flowers... very much!"

Liao Qinghe smiled, "And he seems to have a particular fondness for gardenias, doesn’t he?"

Shi Nuan blinked, for it was nearly October, and the blooming period for gardenias had passed. As Liao Qinghe mentioned, the garden was filled with the scent of flowers, while the gardenias had only flower branches left.

It was rare for Liao Qinghe to still notice in such circumstances.

Shi Nuan remembered what Song Yansheng had said: that the woman he liked also liked gardenias, and coincidentally, so did she.

There was something odd stirring at the bottom of her heart.

She said, "Maybe... he knows a lot about flowers!"

"It’s evident that yesterday morning, when I strolled in the garden, I met two flower farmers in the garden. They said that many of the plants and flowers in this garden were personally planted by Mr. Song...

It’s quite astonishing; who would have thought that Song Yansheng, who is so dominant in the business world, would take such leisurely pleasure in planting flowers? It’s hard to believe!"

Shi Nuan said, "I heard Mr. Liao is a dentist, yet dances so well, which shows that everyone probably has another side that we wouldn’t expect!"

Liao Qinghe smiled, "That’s indeed true, just like Mrs. Song, who appears to be a quiet little lady, yet surprised everyone at the Shi Family shareholders’ meeting. I found that quite astonishing!"

Shi Nuan blushed and said, "Mr. Liao is too kind, and many people helped me behind the scenes at that shareholders’ meeting!"

Liao Qinghe laughed, "If Mrs. Song didn’t work hard, no matter how many people helped, it would be useless. Besides, I believe the woman who can captivate Mr. Song isn’t ordinary at all!"

Listening to this, Shi Nuan felt even more embarrassed. She didn’t want to continue this topic, and she mainly wanted to continue because she was hoping to learn more about her grandmother and younger aunt from Liao Qinghe.

Shi Nuan said, "Why did Mr. Liao like my younger aunt back then?"

Liao Qinghe squinted and said, "It’s hard to explain; the first glance felt comfortable, the second glance turned to fondness, and by the third glance, I was deeply infatuated. Your younger aunt is truly a charismatic woman, and many men liked her back then!"

"Didn’t Mr. Liao go to South Africa to find my younger aunt? There may have been many who liked her, but not many would be willing to go to such a distant place to look for her!"

Liao Qinghe smirked, "Is Mrs. Song praising my devotion? It seems Mrs. Song isn’t too fond of your uncle!"

Shi Nuan lowered her gaze. She and her mother had stayed in America for a year to help take care of their grandmother.

At that time, she wasn’t particularly fond of the comforting uncle and had even heard her younger aunt quarrel with him over them staying there for a long time.

So when she heard from Liao Qinghe that her uncle had an affair with a nurse from the hospital, Shi Nuan wasn’t surprised; the relationship between the couple had already shown cracks by then.

Shi Nuan truly sympathized with her younger aunt, who had torn her family apart for this man and gone abroad, yet unexpectedly, devoted love ended up being heartlessly betrayed, and she ultimately did not receive a complete love.

It was instead Liao Qinghe, who, even though he never had a relationship with the younger aunt, went to South Africa to seek her after learning of her presence there.

This act deeply moved her.

If her younger aunt knew that this seemingly unrestrained man had once done so much for her, she wondered if she would regret her past rejection.

Shi Nuan said, "Marital feelings require cultivation. Just a little carelessness, and the past beauty can instantly turn into ashes. Forgetting the beauty, all that’s left are wounds and resentment. After the divorce, my younger aunt left America with our grandmother, perhaps hoping to start anew in another place!"
