Chapter 1611 - : You Are My Little Love Song (178) (2/2)

Ji Nuan was startled for a moment. She quickly regained her composure and rushed to greet her warmly.

After all, there were only a few young girls at that party. They had some impression of each other. When their names were mentioned, they would think about it carefully.

Ji Nuan saw that after Shi Niange came in, she was left alone. Mo Jingshen was not familiar with her, so he naturally had nothing to say. Li Nanheng only smoked while watching the show coldly. As for Qin Siting…, Ji Nuan did not pay much attention to him, but with a woman’s sixth sense, she sensed that they did not plan on treating this Miss Shi as one of their own. Furthermore, her appearance seemed to have caused the atmosphere to become suddenly colder.

To ease the atmosphere, Ji Nuan rushed over to help her take the cake and place it on the coffee table. She sincerely said, “It’s really been many years since we last met. Miss Shi, why have you returned to the country? Will you be settling down in Hai City or returning to the United States?”

“The old company of the Shi family in the country is still in Hai City. I might stay, but it’s also possible that… there will be other changes,” Shi Niange said and looked at Li Nanheng. “I brought the cake over so late. Did I spoil your fun?”

“No, you came at the right time. Mrs. Mo was still wondering why there wasn’t any cake,” Li Nanheng said, glancing meaningfully at Qin Siting, who had not spoken.

Shi Niange could also feel Qin Siting’s silence. Looking at the atmosphere in the room, she could imagine that before she came in, perhaps everyone was still happily celebrating Li Nanheng’s birthday. However, clearly, Qin Siting did not expect her appearance. Now that he saw the person who had left him, his face did not have any joy. There was only coldness and unfamiliarity.

Even Ji Nuan, who was unaware of the situation, felt that Qin Siting’s body seemed to be surrounded by a cold aura. The temperature in the entire room dropped by quite a bit.

Mo Jingshen sat there without even raising an eyebrow. He continued drinking the wine in his glass, clearly unconcerned.

Before Shi Niange came, she had already mentally prepared for the possibility that Qin Siting might not want to see her.

They were already past the age where they had to force each other. Even if there were still something in their hearts, they would no longer be so childish and stubborn.

However, all these years, there had been a thorn in her heart. Part of the decision she had made four years ago was wrong. After learning that Qin Siting had not been engaged to Ling Xuaner, she had very clearly realized her mistake. This thorn had caused her heart to ache for many years. She had never dared to touch it, nor did she dare to pull it out. She was afraid that once she did, the blood in her heart would not stop. The wall she had built in her world in the past four years would collapse, and she would return to find him.

In the past four years, it was as though they had never appeared in each other’s world.

Back then, she didn’t even dare to think about how she could meet him again.

But Lele said that she wanted a father.

Although Lele didn’t cry or shout for a father, and she naively thought that a father could be bought, she could feel her desire from the child’s innocent words. Why did everyone have a father? Why didn’t she have a father?

Her courage, which had long collapsed, was slowly being boosted by Lele’s desire. She returned to the country, rearranged her emotions, and prepared to face everything.

However, as she stood there, she realized that when she saw Qin Siting again, she was still the same as before. Excited, nervous, and her heartbeat could not be controlled. Even though she had a light smile on her face and looked at him as though he was a friend she had not seen for several years, her heartbeat seemed to have returned to the beat of that year when she was in her third year of high school and sat by his side listening to him speak to her for the first time.
