Chapter 356: Chapter 356

Shi Nuan paused for a moment, and the man sighed softly.

He reached out to pull her into his arms, pressing his forehead against her shoulder, taking a deep breath.

Then he murmured two words softly: "Fated rival!"

The next day was Friday, and Shi Nuan was still staying at the Song Family Mansion.

After breakfast, Song Yansheng went to work. Having nothing to do, Yu Yao took Shi Nuan to the tea room to teach her how to make tea.

Shi Nuan knew how to make tea, but she rarely did. It was clear Yu Yao was an expert, and in front of her, Shi Nuan did not want to embarrass herself.

Shi Nuan had a quiet nature, and she was quite interested in such things.

Yu Yao smiled, "If you like it, I’ll teach you more in the future. I don’t know much about other things, but I do know a bit about the art of tea!"

Song Xiuwen loved tea, and the late elder of the Song Family also loved tea. Back then, Yu Yao pandered to their tastes by specially learning the way of tea from a master.

She later fell in love with it herself and has studied it intently for many years, surely developing some skill.

Shi Nuan nodded in agreement, saying, "I’d be willing to learn. It’s wonderful that you’re willing to teach me!"

Yu Yao smiled, "Actually, A Yu also likes tea. His company’s Secretary Yao makes excellent tea. I once studied tea-making with her late mother. I guess her mother might have been the one who taught her... It’s a pity!"

Shi Nuan knew Yu Yao was talking about Yao Ziwan. Yao Ziwan was not an ordinary secretary; she came from a prestigious family and her family also had a company.

Ji Xia had previously mentioned that Yao Ziwan’s mother passed away early, and later her father married a woman who brought along a son older than Yao Ziwan.

After that, they had a younger sister.

The Yao Family was also very complicated. Shi Nuan did not interact much with Yao Ziwan, but occasionally, she thought the two of them had some similar backgrounds.

But evidently, Yao Ziwan was much luckier than her because her position as the Yao Family’s young lady was not taken away, and it was said that Yao Ziwan’s father valued this daughter highly.

At first, when Yao Ziwan wanted to work at TK, he strongly opposed it, but Yao Ziwan insisted, and he had no choice.

Yao Ziwan’s stepbrother also seemed to treat her very well, like a real younger sister.

So, it’s not wrong to have an unfortunate fate; the wrong is when, along with the misfortune, the warmth once possessed is also taken away bit by bit.

Shi Nuan lowered her eyebrows, picking up the tea next to her while gradually suppressing the faint resentment in her heart.

At noon, Shi Nuan had lunch with Yu Yao, who had a good appetite and ate quite a lot. After the meal, she accompanied her for a walk.

Then Yu Yao took a nap and also suggested Shi Nuan take a nap.

It was the last day of May, and June was approaching. The weather was gradually getting hotter, and people were becoming quite drowsy.

Shi Nuan agreed. After seeing Yu Yao back to her room, she returned to Song Yansheng’s bedroom.

But she didn’t sleep; instead, she stood by the window looking outside for a long time.

Today is Friday. Next Monday, she is going to start her internship at the Shi Family. Summer is coming, and so are her challenges!

After waiting for ten whole years, finally... it’s coming!

At the same time, Song Yansheng was in the president’s office at the TK Group, busily handling documents.

To go back early in the afternoon to see his wife and mother, he chose to forgo the midday rest to work.

Yet, he didn’t feel tired; instead, he found joy in it.

The office door was knocked on at that moment, and the person who came in was Yao Ziwan.

Yao Ziwan looked at Song Yansheng’s handsome face, hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Mr. Song, there’s a Mr. Shen outside who says he wants to see you..."
