Chapter 1220 - 1165: Shi Nuan Said: I Am the Mistress_3
In the living room downstairs, a young maid was cleaning. Seeing Shi Nuan, she smiled and greeted her warmly.
She said, "Lady, Mr. is waiting for you in the dining room, let me tell you a secret, tonight’s dinner is actually Mr...."
"Focus on your cleaning, stop gossiping!"
A stern voice interrupted the maid’s words, startling her.
Shi Nuan was also momentarily stunned and looked towards Aunt Hui, who was standing at the door.
Aunt Hui bowed to Shi Nuan, maintaining a calm exterior.
She said, "Lady, you should hurry to the dining room, don’t keep Mr. waiting too long!"
Shi Nuan nodded and took a couple of steps toward the dining room before turning back to look at the young maid, asking, "Were you trying to tell me earlier that tonight’s dinner was made by Mr. himself?"
With Aunt Hui present, the maid bit her lip, too afraid to speak.
Shi Nuan said, "You don’t need to be afraid. I am this house’s mistress. No one will dare trouble you if I say so."
These words were spoken extremely calmly by Shi Nuan, yet it made Aunt Hui, not far away, a bit dazed.
Aunt Hui wasn’t foolish; she knew these words were meant for her to hear.
She felt a bit remorseful about interrupting the maid in front of Shi Nuan earlier, realizing it was indeed overstepping her bounds.
Shi Nuan had reminded her before, and she knew well enough that this girl wasn’t just anyone, but she had forgotten.
The maid was somewhat nervous and didn’t know how to answer.
Shi Nuan approached her, looked at her, and said, "I told you there was nothing to fear; don’t you trust me?"
The maid quickly shook her head, saying, "No... it’s not that!"
Shi Nuan smiled, "Then just finish what you were saying earlier. I promise no one will give you trouble!"
The maid bit her lip and finally said, "I was saying that tonight’s dinner was... made by Mr. himself..."
Shi Nuan nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me this. At least I won’t eat this meal without knowing who made it!"
After speaking, she gave a faint look at Aunt Hui, said nothing, and turned to head toward the dining room.
Aunt Hui stood there, her expression difficult to read.
The maid stood there, too scared to even glance at Aunt Hui.
...
Shi Nuan entered the dining room and indeed saw Song Yansheng, and inside, there was only him.
The table was set with delicate dishes, including pumpkin porridge, four dishes, and a soup, plus the pumpkin porridge, all things she enjoyed.
Even if the maid hadn’t mentioned it earlier, Shi Nuan could tell at a glance that these dishes weren’t made by the chef of the Song Mansion.
This inexplicably warmed her heart and moved her greatly.
Although over the past four months, Song Yansheng had moved her more than once or twice.
Yet each encounter still stirred her heartstrings.
She called out, "Second Uncle..."
Song Yansheng waved her over, signaling her to sit, saying, "Tonight’s dishes are relatively light; I hope Nuannuan can get used to them..."
"I can, thank you, Second Uncle!"
Song Yansheng smiled and served Shi Nuan a bowl of pumpkin porridge: "If you can, remember to eat more; Nuannuan is too frail, so even if I want to teach you to swim, we need to wait until you’re a bit stronger!"
This day, Shi Nuan ate more than usual, as Song Yansheng’s cooking was indeed delicious.
But the chef at the Song Mansion was also excellent, yet she ate more, mainly not wanting to waste Song Yansheng’s heartfelt effort.
In the days following, Shi Nuan continued to recuperate at the Song Mansion and didn’t return to work.
Even though she could enjoy some leisure, Song Yansheng could not.
So, on Thursday and Friday, Chi Rui and Yao Ziwan frequently came to the Song Mansion.
While Song Yansheng handled business in the study, Shi Nuan would, as she used to, read by the window on the tatami or go through the materials her grandfather left her.
She did not hide anything from Song Yansheng, feeling there was no need.
More so, Song Yansheng did not concern himself with such matters.
Shi Nuan did not return to work officially at the Shi Family until the following Monday, and by then nine days had passed since she attended the Shi Family shareholder meeting.
The following week all employees at Shi were busy, while the usually busy Shi Nuan turned out to be the most leisurely of all.
The fortunate aspect was that upon her return, Yu Dou had Ji Xia deliver all the meeting records from the Shi Family’s shareholder meetings held that week to her.
Zou Rong did not assign her any work either, as if her job was simply to review this information.
Close to lunchtime, her cell phone rang. The caller was Lv Nan Nan, inviting Shi Nuan to a meal.
It was usually Shi Nuan who reached out to Lv Nan Nan to share a meal, so it was the first time Lv Nan Nan took the initiative to invite her.
Moreover, what surprised Shi Nuan more was Lv Nan Nan saying, "Let’s eat out today; I’m treating!"
