Qin Nianwan’s news of being pregnant and giving birth to a child was released just a short while ago when Ji Nanfeng’s call ca through to Fu Shinian. Fu Shinian glanced at it indifferently and directly pressed the mute button. Without even thinking, he knew what Ji would say. He was not in the mood to listen, nor did he have the energy to explain.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the workday, Ji Nanfeng and Qiao Yu both showed up directly at the office to corner him. Facing these two clearly more gossip-hungry than concerned faces, Fu Shinian had to exert great willpower to restrain himself from calling security to throw these two out.
In the end, the three decided to go out for a al together and to listen to this sensational gossip.
In the private dining room, Ji Nanfeng was so anxious he didn’t even bother ordering dishes and simply told the manager to serve whatever. Looking at his impatient deanor, Fu Shinian couldn’t help but tease him:
"Why are you so invested in my business?"
Ji Nanfeng clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction:
"You’re my good brother, man. We’ve played together since we were kids. How could I not care?"
Fu Shinian huffed twice and looked at him with a half smile:
"Tell the truth."
Ji Nanfeng laughed: "I just want to know how you got cuckolded by Qin Nianwan. If I didn’t know about such a huge joke, I’d regret it for the rest of my life."
Qiao Yu laughed unmistakably:
"Can you tone it down a bit?"
"If I toned it down, would Shinian not notice?" Ji Nanfeng looked at Qiao Yu: "Don’t pretend to be the good guy now. I don’t believe you aren’t curious, or that you don’t have the attitude of watching the excitent and want to know the whole story?"
Qiao Yu fell silent, his gaze resting on Fu Shinian’s face, clearly with the air of enjoying the drama without fearing the chaos.
In his heart, Fu Shinian lanted: What kind of sins did he commit in a previous life that this life the heavens arranged for these two to be his friends? And they have been since childhood, never missing any of his business.
Knowing he ultimately couldn’t dodge their curiosity, Fu Shinian just went ahead and told them. Ji Nanfeng listened and was stunned for a few seconds, looking at him incredulously:
"You an, Su Mu has known about Qin Nianwan’s affair for two years already?"
"Yes," Fu Shinian admitted straightforwardly, "it’s just that she never talked about it."
"Why?"
Qiao Yu glanced at Fu Shinian and expressed his thoughts outright:
"Why else? To consider Shinian’s pride, especially since he cares so much about marital loyalty. If he knew, he’d probably be sad and hurt for a long ti, right?"
Hearing this, Ji Nanfeng nodded and complinted Su Mu:
"She really considers everything for you."
Fu Shinian didn’t say anything to that, but he clearly didn’t object to Ji Nanfeng’s description, and Qiao Yu seeing this couldn’t help but smile faintly:
"So, when do you plan to reconcile with Su Mu?"
"Do you think you can get over that ntal obstacle?" Ji Nanfeng looked at Fu Shinian: "Although nothing happened between Su Mu and Wen Han, they still ended up sleeping on the sa bed..."
Ji Nanfeng’s words were cut off by a kick from Qiao Yu:
"Do you have to ntion the useless stuff?"
"Without saying the facts, do they cease to exist? Are you saying Shinian’s not thinking about these things? If he truly didn’t care, no matter what we say his attitude towards Su Mu wouldn’t change. But do you think he doesn’t care right now? Obviously, he does care about Su Mu. He’s been keeping soone to follow and protect her all the ti, yet he himself refuses to show up. Isn’t that a clear ssage to everyone that he’s really bothered by those photos of Su Mu and Wen Han?"
Qiao Yu huffed twice:
"Even if it’s the truth, you don’t need to say it out loud. Shinian understands it much better than you."
Ji Nanfeng pursed his lips and said no more, but Qiao Yu seed to think of sothing and spoke up:
"The hospital recently has two spots for international training."
Ji Nanfeng looked at him: "Are you going?"
"Do I need to?" Qiao Yu looked at him with a aningful gaze that needed no further explanation. Ji Nanfeng was slightly stunned: "Is Jiang Bei going?"
The conversation shifted to Jiang Bei and Ji Nanfeng, but Fu Shinian wasn’t much interested and just glanced faintly.
"I was in the dean’s office today, and Jiang Bei was there, and she’s already handed in her paperwork. It should be genuine," Qiao Yu spoke indifferently: "The training period is one year. What are you planning to do?"
Since Ji Nanfeng and Jiang Bei had a fight last ti, the two hadn’t seen each other. Ji Nanfeng’s idea was to give Jiang Bei so space and not to spoil her like before. But he hadn’t anticipated that ultimately what he’d co across was this situation, far different from what he had in mind.
"How did she suddenly make this decision?"
"It must be for Rong Shen."
This remark from Qiao Yu made Ji Nanfeng frown, and even Fu Shinian looked on with interest:
"Rong Shen has been visiting the hospital to see Jiang Bei every day. I’ve run into it a couple of tis. He seems to be pursuing her."
"Damn." Ji Nanfeng stood up abruptly from his seat: "Why didn’t you tell earlier?"
"Who was the one that the other day, upon hearing Jiang Bei’s na, changed the subject and walked away? I did want to tell you, but you had to be willing to listen too." Qiao Yu looked at Ji Nanfeng, sneering twice: "Besides, even if I stop pursuing Jiang Bei, our status as rivals hasn’t changed, right? Where do you get the confidence thinking I would tell you everything about Jiang Bei? Do I look idle to you?"
Ji Nanfeng: "..."
Fu Shinian nodded: "Qiao Yu is right."
Ji Nanfeng: "..."
Qiao Yu couldn’t bother discussing the topic further and turned to Fu Shinian:
"Considering Qin Nianwan concealed such an important matter from you, and though so much ti has passed, I suspect you won’t let the matter rest. Have you decided what to do?"
"Yes," Fu Shinian replied indifferently: "I’ve already instructed Song Yi to send her to Country R."
"Country R?" Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng asked in unison, seemingly surprised by Fu Shinian’s decision, but Fu Shinian always looked calm and collected, smiling slightly: "Why? Isn’t that fine? Actually, it’s no different from what she was going to do in Country H, one is just in the open and the other is hidden. Since she wants to do this sort of thing, I’ll push her along, making it legitimate."
"Not a bad approach, for a woman, this might be the biggest blow, right?"
Ji Nanfeng, however, did not agree and snorted lightly:
"Maybe for other won, but from Qin Nianwan’s perspective, who knows, she might actually enjoy it. After all she’s been through, would she still care about that? She might even not want to co back."
Qiao Yu: "..."
Right then, Fu Shinian’s phone rang. He looked down and pressed the answer button. Song Yi’s voice ca through from the other end:
"Mr. Fu, Qin Nianwan has attempted suicide."
