The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1046 - 433: Did Song Nianhuan and Lu Jingchen Meet?
Chu Munan walked straight towards her, holding a cup of coffee. The aroma of the coffee filled the air, rich and fragrant. He heard her words and looked at her with a half-smile, saying, "There’s a carpet here. How am I supposed to make noise when I walk?"
Song Qiao glanced at the carpet beneath her feet and suddenly felt awkwardly trapped, inexplicably embarrassed.
Seeing Chu Munan heading directly to the living room, she followed behind him, her head lowered like a child who had done something wrong, silent.
Chu Munan placed the coffee on the table, looked up at her, and asked, "Can’t sleep?"
Song Qiao nodded, scratched her head, and said a bit sheepishly, "Perhaps it’s because I took a nap before dinner, now I’m having trouble falling asleep."
However, Chu Munan looked at her steadily, saying meaningfully, "Are you sure it’s not because you’re overthinking things, keeping you awake?"
Song Qiao widened her eyes, seemingly not expecting Chu Munan to see through her directly.
Chu Munan glanced at her and stood up, saying, "Sit here for a moment."
Song Qiao was startled, "Oh..."
Chu Munan stood up and walked to the kitchen, his figure quickly disappearing from Song Qiao’s view.
Though she didn’t know what Chu Munan was doing, she obediently sat there, smelling the rich coffee aroma. She wasn’t particularly fond of coffee, but tonight she suddenly wanted some coffee.
A few minutes later, Chu Munan came out with a cup of milk, handed it to Song Qiao, and said warmly, "Drink the milk I just heated for you in a bit."
Song Qiao looked at Chu Munan with eyes full of gratitude, took the milk, lowered her head to look at the cup in her hand, and said softly, "Thank you, Chu Munan!"
Chu Munan looked at her and asked, "Xiao Qiao, do you really plan to reconcile with Lu Jingchen?"
He asked this without any specific intention, just using an ordinary conversational tone.
Song Qiao, about to drink the milk, almost choked at his words, coughing violently. Once she recovered, she looked at him, blinking in confusion, and asked, "Why... why do you ask?"
He answered with a question, "Xiao Qiao, you got back together with Lu Jingchen after returning to the country, right?"
Song Qiao’s expression changed.
Although Chu Munan didn’t hear her answer, seeing her reaction, he knew he was right.
He sighed slightly in his heart but remained calm, saying, "I don’t oppose you being with Lu Jingchen. But Xiao Qiao, whatever you choose, you have to be responsible for it yourself. If you choose to be with Lu Jingchen, though I don’t entirely agree, I’ll support you in whatever you do. However, I think you should understand that actually, you and Lu Jingchen aren’t quite suitable for each other."
Song Qiao lowered her head, looking at the milk in her hand, remaining silent.
If it were yesterday, she might have argued against Chu Munan’s words, but today, after Tan Shuya spoke to her, learning some things and facing Lu Tianming’s opposition, she realized she and Lu Jingchen aren’t suitable.
Even if they wanted to be together, there would be many difficulties.
Chu Munan looked at Song Qiao, having feelings for her but knowing he and Song Qiao couldn’t be together.
So, he chose to keep his thoughts hidden, not wanting anyone to know.
Quietly staying behind her was enough for him.
Neither spoke for a while until Song Qiao looked up at Chu Munan, saying, "I know what to do now, Chu Munan, thank you."
The man frowned slightly, then said, "Xiao Qiao, you’ve thanked me twice today. Since when did we become so distant?"
Song Qiao smiled awkwardly, her lips moving slightly, but she didn’t say anything.
Chu Munan didn’t tease her further, saying, "Finish the milk and go back to sleep. Don’t overthink things. You’ll feel better after sleeping."
Song Qiao nodded, "I understand." Then she looked at him and asked, "What about you? Aren’t you going to sleep now?"
Lu Jingchen pointed to the computer in front of him, "I have some work to handle. I won’t sleep too early. You go ahead."
Song Qiao glanced at the computer before him, ultimately saying nothing, responding with a simple "Oh."
...
After drinking the milk Chu Munan heated for her, Song Qiao slept reasonably well that night, not overthinking things.
The next morning, Song Nianhuan had already gotten up at some point, and Song Qiao didn’t see the little girl’s figure upon waking.
After spending twenty minutes getting ready, Song Qiao walked out of her room.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw the little Nianhuan running towards her with her short legs.
Song Nianhuan ran directly up to Song Qiao, hugged her leg, and exclaimed in a squeaky voice, "Mommy, you’re up! Good morning."
Song Qiao pinched her daughter’s cheek, smiling lightly, nodded, leaned down to kiss her face, and said, "Good morning, sweetheart!"
Song Nianhuan kissed Song Qiao’s cheek back and excitedly said, "Mommy, mommy, when I went out with uncle earlier, we saw a really handsome uncle downstairs. But when uncle saw the handsome uncle, his expression wasn’t very good... even more handsome than uncle."
Song Qiao paused, not knowing who the handsome uncle was, but she noticed Nianhuan’s comment about Ji Sifan’s displeased expression.
Suddenly, her mind flashed to one person—Lu Jingchen.
The only one likely to make Ji Sifan look unhappy seemed to be Lu Jingchen.
Looking down at her daughter in front, Song Qiao instinctively took out her phone from her pocket, found a photo of Lu Jingchen, and showed it to Song Nianhuan, asking softly, "Sweetheart, was the handsome uncle you saw this morning this one?"
Song Nianhuan looked at the photo on Song Qiao’s phone and exclaimed, "Mommy, how do you have a photo of that handsome uncle?"
