Early next morning, around seven o'clock, Shi Nuan got out of bed. She had just finished freshening up when someone knocked on the door.
It was Aunt Hui.
Aunt Hui said, "Lady, breakfast is ready, and Mr. Song is waiting for you downstairs!"
Shi Nuan responded and said she'd be down right away.
Aunt Hui nodded and went to tidy up the bed, but finding it already made, she simply went to the window to draw the curtains and open it.
The wind from outside brought in a faint floral fragrance. Shi Nuan seemed to smell gardenias among the scents.
Feeling slightly annoyed, Shi Nuan stood up and said, "Aunt Hui, you can leave now. I'll change and come down!"
Aunt Hui acknowledged and was about to leave when Shi Nuan's phone suddenly rang. Shi Nuan picked it up, and upon seeing the name on the screen, her eyes flickered for a moment.
Aunt Hui glanced at Shi Nuan but said nothing more, turning to leave.
After Aunt Hui left, Shi Nuan answered the call.
