For quite so ti afterwards, Su Mu pondered over Ji Qingluan’s words. She didn’t really understand what kind of emotion it was, so intense that even if all his love and hatred were unrelated to her, she could still bless and wait sweetly.
Su Mu once thought she could do it too, but it didn’t take long before she beca greedy, wanting more until finally, unable to get what she desired, she fled in an awkward ss. But Ji Qingluan was different, she had invested her feelings in Wen Han since she understood such matters and had never retracted them to this day.
Perhaps Ji Qingluan’s persistence was simply because she had never attained it.
Su Mu chuckled, sighing from the bottom of her heart:
"Actually, when I first t you, I thought the person who would end up with Wen Han would be you."
Ji Qingluan gave a faint smile:
"You and Wen Han have only just started, why talk as if it’s already the end? There are so many uncertainties in the future, maybe the person who stays by his side will really be ."
Su Mu looked at Ji Qingluan and gave a shallow smile:
"Since I’ve agreed to this relationship, I will give it my all. It’s not just lip service, and there’s no joking about it. Even if I don’t like him as you said, it’s not impossible that ti might foster affection. You understand."
"I was also just joking," Ji Qingluan looked at Su Mu. "It’s getting late, and I have to go to the company. I’m really happy that you could co out and listen to talk so much. I won’t say any more blessings, just wish that you and Wen Han get everything you wish for."
As long as one’s wishes co true, surely they will last a long ti.
But for Ji Qingluan to bless Wen Han and another woman to last a long ti was sothing she honestly found hard to say, even though she had accepted such an end.
Ji Qingluan wanted to take Su Mu back to the Wen Family’s ho, but Su Mu declined. She insisted on taking a taxi back to not delay her work, Ji Qingluan nodded:
"Then wait for , I’ll go to the restroom and then we can go."
"Okay."
But Ji Qingluan was in the restroom for a long ti, so long that Su Mu saw Wen Han enter. He scanned the room and his gaze accurately landed on her. With a slight smile, he walked over and sat opposite Su Mu. She looked at him in surprise:
"How did you co here?"
Wen Han smiled:
"Ji Qingluan called , said she had to leave first and didn’t feel at ease with you going ho alone, so she asked to co pick you up."
Su Mu looked subconsciously in the direction of the restroom. If her guess was correct, she must have already left. Su Mu always knew her to be a magnanimous person, but she hadn’t anticipated that even when facing a romantic rival, she would be so considerate. Su Mu couldn’t help but think that Wen Han and Ji Qingluan were indeed a better match.
Noticing Su Mu’s silence, Wen Han smiled without asking anything but apologized instead:
"I’m really sorry about today. I didn’t expect Ji Qingluan to suddenly co over, and what should have been a nice al ended up being awkward for you."
"Not at all," Su Mu looked at him. "I didn’t feel bad at all, and I had a nice chat with Qingluan. Don’t worry about it. On the contrary, I think you were a little unkind to Qingluan at ho just now. I know it’s because you care about how I feel, but your coldness made it difficult for to face Qingluan."
Wen Han probably knew that his actions could cause so trouble for Su Mu, but in that mont, he couldn’t think too much about it. He always felt that the long-awaited scene was flawed, which inevitably made him unhappy. However, sotis he wondered if he was making too much of a fuss. Hearing Su Mu speak like this, he acknowledged it with a nod:
"Yes, I’ll rember your words and it won’t happen again."
Actually, only soone who doesn’t care, like Su Mu, could remain so indifferent. She didn’t have feelings for him, that’s why she could be so rational and generous when dealing with Ji Qingluan. Wen Han naturally knew this too, but he couldn’t say it out loud; after all, he had said before, as long as Su Mu agreed to him, he didn’t need her to like him.
"My mother knows I’ve co to pick you up and told us not to rush back. We should take a stroll and then go back ho for dinner later. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Su Mu shook her head.
"How about I take you to a shopping mall?"
Su Mu smiled and continued to refuse, "Don’t forget about the injury on your leg. The doctor instructed that you should not walk around too much recently."
Wen Han was silent for a few seconds and then reached across the dining table to tightly grasp Su Mu’s hand that was on the table. Su Mu felt montarily uncomfortable but quickly recovered:
"Su Mu, I’ve been married before but never really dated. Most of my life has been spent in the military, so there are many things I can’t do and might overlook. I also don’t know how two people should be together. But don’t worry, what others have, you will certainly have, and what others don’t, you will definitely have too, I promise you that."
"You don’t have to do this," Su Mu smiled lightly. "I feel very secure with you, and that’s exactly what I want."
In the end, Su Mu insisted not to go shopping, and Wen Han had no choice but let her be. So the two drove around for an afternoon, enjoying themselves.
By the ti they returned to the Wen Family ho, it was nearing dusk. Qiqi and Shaoyuan, who had played too wildly in the afternoon, were still sleeping, and Su Mu’s thoughts of leaving were put on hold. Actually, even if Qiqi were awake, she was afraid she couldn’t leave, especially since Zhou Yaxian had personally cooked a lot of dishes to make up for the missed al at noon.
Su Mu’s words of ’it doesn’t matter’ and ’don’t trouble yourself’ were completely ignored by Zhou Yaxian, and in the end, Su Mu had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.
Before dinner, Qiqi woke up but didn’t seem well. Su Mu felt her forehead and noticed it was a bit warm, she couldn’t help but worry:
"Qiqi, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No," she answered listlessly, then glanced around quietly and said, "Su Mu, when can we go ho?"
The question caught Su Mu off guard. The child in front of her no longer seed like the Qiqi she knew.
The Qiqi from before always didn’t want to leave when she ca, and the first thing she did when she returned from Jiangcheng City to Shen City was to co to the Wen Family to find Shaoyuan. This was the first ti Su Mu heard from her about wanting to leave, which made her think if there had been an unpleasant incident between Qiqi and Shaoyuan.
"Did you and Shaoyuan have a fight?"
Qiqi shook her head, "No, Shaoyuan gege is very good to ."
Qiqi wouldn’t lie. She would rather keep silent than tell a lie, so hearing Qiqi’s denial, Su Mu had to start thinking more negatively. However, considering they were still at the Wen Family’s house, it wasn’t right to say anything. She touched Qiqi’s hair reassuringly:
"Your grandmother Zhou has cooked a lot of delicious food, we’ll go ho after we eat, okay?"
Su Yimo was silent for a few seconds. Reluctantly, but due to her politeness and upbringing, she couldn’t say ’no’, so she could only nod, "Okay."
