Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Why Should I Keep Him (5)

Shi Nuan said, "I’ve always believed in this principle: the ones meant to leave can’t be stopped, and the ones meant to stay can’t be pushed away. Since he chose to leave, he must have his own considerations and thoughts, and I should respect that!"

Qi Ruisong gritted his teeth, "...Fine, even if that’s the case, you shouldn’t have gotten engaged to Xiao Chuan after he left. You know full well the relationship between Xiao Chuan and Shen Zui, doing this puts Shen Zui in a difficult position!"

Shi Nuan smiled faintly, saying, "Shen Zui and I have already broken up, and we each have the freedom to love and marry whomever we choose. Whether I am with Xiao Chuan or any other man, to love, get engaged, or even marry, it’s my personal freedom, and no one else has the right to interfere..."

"You—" Qi Ruisong’s face flushed with anger, but he simply couldn’t out-argue her!

Unintentionally, he let out a cold laugh, "Shi Nuan, you really are a ruthless woman. Shen Zui leaving you was indeed a clear choice..."

Shi Nuan’s fingers clenched tightly beside her, but the expression on her face did not change in the slightest.

She spoke, "Yes, you’re right, him leaving me was indeed the right choice..."

Qi Ruisong: "..."

Why did he feel like he was punching a pillow?

This woman is truly...

"However..." Shi Nuan furrowed her brows slightly and continued, "Feelings are very complicated and can’t be fully explained in a few words. My engagement with Xiao Chuan is not as simple as you think. You are a friend of Shen Zui but also a friend of Xiao Chuan. If you have any grievances, direct them at me; Xiao Chuan is innocent..."

"Also, today Meisui kindly brought everyone together for a meal. If the atmosphere remains tense, it would be unfair to her. You agreed to meet me, so I assume you have come to terms with some things. I don’t have many friends, just a few of you that I know. Putting aside Xiao Chuan and Shen Zui, I am willing to be friends with you... Of course, the choice is entirely yours!"

After Shi Nuan finished speaking, she extended a hand, her dark eyes gazing at the man in front of her, waiting for his response.

Qi Ruisong’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as he looked at the girl in front of him for a moment.

Qi Ruisong always thought that Shi Nuan was quite beautiful, and it was a beauty with a distinct charm.

Her height wasn’t impressive, at most 165 cm, and her figure wasn’t voluptuous, rather a bit slim and fragile.

Yet, looking at her was oddly comfortable; especially her eyes, so dark and bright, that they were hard to look at directly.

Is that unique charisma what attracted both Shen Zui and Song Yichuan?

With a self-mocking smile, Qi Ruisong finally extended his hand and gently held onto the small, jade-like hand in front of him.

...

Shi Nuan and Qi Ruisong left together, probably the simplest way to ease the awkward atmosphere now.

No explanations were needed; appearing together already explained everything.

They didn’t expect to run into two familiar faces on the way back.

One was Song Qingyang, and the other was Song Qingyang’s friend, Shen Zui’s sister, Shen Jiu’er.

When Shi Nuan was dating Shen Zui, she was young, and they often met secretly, so Shi Nuan didn’t know if Shen Jiu’er was aware.

However, later when she got engaged to Song Yichuan, Shen Jiu’er also came and her attitude seemed normal, as if she didn’t know.

Seeing Shi Nuan and Qi Ruisong, both Song Qingyang and Shen Jiu’er seemed slightly surprised.

Song Qingyang felt more awkward than anything else.

She originally liked Shi Nuan very much, but after her brother had just passed away, Shi Nuan married her Second Uncle.

Now she had become her Second Aunt, which made it really hard for her to accept.

Accidentally glancing at the ring on Shi Nuan’s left hand, the light from it almost blinded her eyes.
