The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today-Chapter 896: You’re Not Mine Alone Anymore

Song Yansheng chuckled softly again: "Rare, but it doesn’t mean impossible. How do you know that you and I won’t become one of those rare couples in the future?"

Shi Nuan was momentarily speechless—being a lifelong couple with Song Yansheng?

Actually, she had thought about it, but whether they could grow old together, she truly wasn’t sure.

Three months in, she had fallen for this man, loved him, obsessed over him, and couldn’t help but rely on him.

But to this day, she couldn’t understand Song Yansheng.

Shi Nuan had always thought that what makes a couple last is not love, but understanding.

If you understand me, you can know what I want and don’t want.

If you understand me, you can know what I like and don’t like.

If you understand me, you can know what I hope for and fear.

Even the most loving partners may eventually part ways, because love isn’t everlasting.

What truly lasts is mutual understanding.

After a slight pause, Shi Nuan said: "I think Second Uncle and I need to deepen our understanding of each other!"

The issue was once again pulled back to the starting point by Shi Nuan, and Song Yansheng felt like sighing.

He knew that Shi Nuan was proud, rational, and stubborn, but even the most rational person can occasionally lose control and act on impulse.

He tried to uncover Shi Nuan’s hidden emotions, but her defenses were so strong that countless attempts had ended in failure.

But he couldn’t blame her; three months is indeed very short, especially considering she had been with Shen Zui for a full three years.

That night, the two snuggled up together, their future undetermined, but at least at this moment, they enjoyed their intimacy.

...

On the same night, Ye Mingmei woke up after sleeping for more than two hours.

She had initially wanted to find Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng because she was feeling sad again.

But as she was about to step out, she suddenly remembered Gu Zheng’s words: "Next time you go to the Song Mansion, don’t crawl into Brother Yu’s bed for no reason!"

Ye Mingmei decided to retreat, climbed back into bed, fished out her phone, and found Gu Zheng’s number.

She stuck her tongue out, telling herself: she wasn’t intending to make this call, she just couldn’t sleep and wanted someone to chat with.

Back at the base, whenever she had trouble sleeping, she’d snuggle into Gu Zheng’s bed to chat.

Ye Mingmei dialed the number, and after the phone rang for a while, someone picked up.

Then, a magnetic and indifferent male voice came through—it was Gu Zheng.

He said "Hello," not waiting for Ye Mingmei to speak, he already demanded: "Why aren’t you asleep in the middle of the night?"

Ye Mingmei pouted and said: "You’re not sleeping either, why can you stay up, but I can’t?"

Gu Zheng took a deep breath on the other end, eventually softened his tone, and said: "Be good, go to sleep; I’ll be back in a few days!"

Ye Mingmei blinked: "But when you return, you won’t be just mine anymore—you now have a fiancée..."

She continued: "I know what a fiancée means; little sister-in-law told me. She said it’s just an engagement, not a marriage, and the engagement can be canceled anytime. You don’t have to live together or see each other often... right?"

Gu Zheng replied off-topic: "Did you go to the Song Mansion again?"

Ye Mingmei said: "You’re not at the base; these past few days, Sister A Qing hasn’t been well, and Brother Qin Ran is busy taking care of her, leaving no time for me. I was bored being alone at the base, so I came to find little sister-in-law..."
