Chapter 1255 - 1178: Enough to Make a Man’s Heart Flutter
That summer break, Shi Jiaojiao enrolled in a driving school, and Shi Yuanbo hired a coach at a high price for his daughter’s safety.
Shi Jiaojiao successfully got her driver’s license in September of that year.
Shi Yuanbo even held a family dinner to slightly celebrate that occasion.
Shi Yuanbo was unaware that Shi Nuan also got her driver’s license that same year, and actually a few months earlier than Shi Jiaojiao.
The driving school she registered for was just a regular class with low tuition, but back then, due to Li Guirong, the pocket money Shi Yuanbo gave her was actually limited.
It wasn’t easy for Shi Nuan to save up that money.
She was a girl of high perception, but unfortunately, her operational ability was lacking, and she pondered privately over the matter for quite a while.
In their small class, there were seven or eight students, and three of them passed all subjects in one go.
Among them was Shi Nuan, who was the youngest of them all.
Shi Jiaojiao drove slowly, but at least steadily, which surprised Shi Nuan.
After all, Shi Jiaojiao’s personality was evident; she was always bold and willful, yet unexpectedly cautious when it came to driving.
Shi Nuan had no idea that at the time of her car accident, Shi Jiaojiao was in another car, not far away.
She saw the cruel scene unfold before her, leaving an inevitable shadow.
Soon, outside a Western restaurant, they opened the car door and both got out.
Shi Jiaojiao tossed the car key to the attendant and entered together with Shi Nuan.
On the way, both were silent, which made Shi Nuan even more curious.
That afternoon, the sunshine was beautiful, making the steaming city somewhat hot.
Shi Jiaojiao wore a pale pink off-shoulder long dress, perfectly showcasing her alluring figure.
Her simple bun added a touch of charm compared to usual, and her makeup was absolutely exquisite.
In Shi Nuan’s impression, even at home, Shi Jiaojiao was never sloppy.
Soon they arrived at a private room, Shi Nuan entered, and found it empty.
The dining table was quite large, with a vase on it, filled with fresh lavender, its fragrance faintly refreshing.
Shi Nuan liked this kind of environment.
Shi Nuan walked inside, Shi Jiaojiao said, "I’ve already ordered two steak sets, I think I know Western cuisine better than you do, you don’t mind, right?"
Shi Nuan shook her head, "I don’t mind!"
Shi Jiaojiao laughed, "What? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tamper with the steak?"
Shi Nuan also laughed, saying, "No worries, I’ll just swap steaks with you!"
Shi Jiaojiao frowned slightly, wanting to say more, when her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced down, lightly bit her lip, and then said, "I’ll take a call..."
Shi Nuan didn’t mind, the lavender scent was really pleasant, and by the window, there was a pot of green philodendron.
The philodendron’s leaves hung down, covering half of the wall below the window with a dense green that made people’s hearts naturally calm.
Shi Jiaojiao watched Shi Nuan walk to the window, her fingers grip tightening on the phone, then turned around and went out.
Shi Nuan looked outside the window once, discovering the scenery outside was quite nice, with a park in view opposite the window, and a small lake within the park.
Though Shi Nuan had recently encountered a mishap with water, she wasn’t afraid of it, rather, she liked it quite a bit.
In this moment, breathing in the scent of philodendron mixed with lavender calmed her slightly erratic and restless heart from the past two days.
About two minutes later, Shi Nuan heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps behind her.
She didn’t turn around, but rather thoughtfully said, "You chose this place well, it really surprises me!"
The person behind her didn’t respond, which intrigued Shi Nuan. She turned around, the smile at the corner of her mouth faded upon seeing the person standing by the door.
In fact, Shen Zui’s appearance didn’t surprise Shi Nuan; Jiaojiao’s behavior today was off.
She wanted to meet, presumably to talk about something, but on the way here, she said nothing.
And earlier, as soon as they entered the private room, she had a phone call, which was obviously unusual.
How many people would choose to meet Shi Nuan through Shi Jiaojiao?
Shi Nuan hadn’t seen Shen Zui for a while, perhaps since returning from America, she hadn’t seen him, and rarely heard news about him.
In America, Shen Zui once called her, but that was all.
Todays Shen Zui clearly came in disguise, wearing a baseball cap, dark shirt paired with trousers.
He held a mask in his hand, but it was noticeable he seemed thinner, probably...
Probably it’s been quite hard for him during this time.
Shi Nuan looked at Shen Zui, and Shen Zui also looked at Shi Nuan.
Actually, from the moment he entered the private room, his gaze fell on Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan wore a casual, fresh professional outfit.
Off-white, and underfoot were flat leather sandals.
The whole attire had the workplace’s capable gentleness as well as student-like cuteness and playfulness.
Still very slim but not appearing frail; instead, her figure was quite good.
A pair of fair and straight legs made men quite captivated.
Her long hair, possibly because of the hot weather, was casually tied into a bun, slightly loose yet not messy.
As she turned around, seeing her features, still so fresh and simple, still beautiful enough to make hearts tremble.
Light makeup in the workplace is a basic courtesy, Shi Nuan had thought about learning makeup, and Song Yansheng even specially arranged a makeup room for her.
But truthfully, she’s lazy, where her bag only has a lip balm for moisture.
Other makeup products, none whatsoever.
Song Yansheng once said, "I bought you so many makeup products, looks like they’ll all be wasted!"
Though Shi Nuan didn’t know makeup products well, she knew what Song Yansheng bought wasn’t cheap at all.
Plus, in one go, he bought so many.
Shi Nuan said, "I’m just not used to using them for now..."
"Well, no worries, no matter if Nuannuan uses them or not, you’re very beautiful, naturally. Our Nuannuan is truly endowed with beauty!"
Endowed with beauty!
Now these four words appeared again in Shen Zui’s mind.
Because when he first saw Shi Nuan, looking at her beneath the rain curtain, his first impression indeed was beauty.
The love for beauty is something everyone has.
Shen Zui liking Shi Nuan, Song Yansheng liking Shi Nuan, perhaps all ties back to this.
But what truly makes them both think tirelessly of Shi Nuan is Shi Nuan’s temperament, Shi Nuan’s person, giving them a comfortable, warm feeling.
The first to speak was Shen Zui, he looked at Shi Nuan, softly saying, "I thought you wouldn’t come!"
Shi Nuan lightly bit her lip, asking, "Why?"
"Because you guessed that the person meeting you today might be me!"
After a pause, Shen Zui said, "Nuannuan, even if we don’t meet face to face, you’ll occasionally think of me, won’t you?"
