Wen Han t his words with several seconds of silence before cracking a slight smile,
"Mr. Fu seems to have misunderstood; I was rely stating a fact, not intentionally showing you anything. Could it be that Mr. Fu thinks my relationship with Su Mu is all for show? We are genuinely boyfriend and girlfriend."
Fu Shinian smiled faintly, showing that he didn’t take Wen Han’s words to heart. He led the way out towards the back door of the hall. Wen Han watched Fu Shinian’s retreating figure, admitting that his emotions were affected, but in the end, he stepped forward and followed because he had no other choice.
At the end of July in Shen City, even at dusk, the temperature was still high. As Wen Han stepped into the garden, he felt uncomfortably sticky, but Fu Shinian seed completely unaffected. He sat down with calm composure on a bench nearby. Wen Han approached and sat beside him, directly pinpointing the heart of the matter,
"What do you want to say?"
"I actually don’t have much to say to you. I have more of a desire to act, to prove through my actions what I truly want from you. But I always feel you might have so words for . If you don’t speak up now, you might suffocate from keeping it in. That’s why I’m especially waiting here for you."
Wen Han laughed lightly,
"If that’s the case, Mr. Fu, you can leave now. I don’t have anything I want to say to you."
"Is that so?" Fu Shinian smiled slightly. "Nothing to say about Su Mu?"
"Nothing."
Fu Shinian glanced at Wen Han, then diverted his gaze towards the garden full of flowers, smiling lightly, "Well, since you’re ntally prepared, I can proceed with certain matters without any concerns."
Wen Han furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this,
"What are you going to do?"
"Didn’t you just say you don’t have anything to say to ? Since you don’t even want to speak, shouldn’t you also lack interest in whatever I plan to do?"
Wen Han looked at Fu Shinian,
"I know what you’re plotting. You simply want to snatch Su Mu away from . But Fu Shinian, I’d like to know what gives you the right? Is it the two years of marriage you had with Su Mu, or the old lady’s fondness for her, or because Qiqi is your daughter? Yet, regardless of which it is, you have caused Su Mu profound hurt in this respect. If this now becos your reason to take back Su Mu, don’t you think you are being shalessly brazen?"
"Saving face?" Fu Shinian chuckled lightly, "When choosing between saving face or getting back your wife, would you choose face?"
Wen Han was silent.
Fu Shinian looked at Wen Han,
"I wouldn’t. I admit I’ve hurt Su Mu before, but you know better than I that it was out of necessity. If there was another choice, I definitely wouldn’t have done that. Now that I have the absolute ability to ensure the safety of both mother and daughter, I will definitely not let go. Don’t you think that instead of you marrying Su Mu, a reconciliation between us would be better for Qiqi?"
"You only think of Qiqi, what about Su Mu’s feelings? Have you ever cared for her?" Wen Han scoffed lightly. "Right, if you had cared for Su Mu in the slightest, she wouldn’t have suffered so much and lost herself over the years. Now that she’s finally stepped out of your shadow and found her own life, you want to force her back into your world, heedless of her will. Fu Shinian, do you really see yourself as a god who controls everything, with everyone having to act according to your moods?"
Wen Han stood up from the bench, looking down at him,
"You’ve relayed what you said to Su Mu, and she’s told everything. I haven’t sought you out because I didn’t see the need – even if I said anything, you wouldn’t listen. But since you’ve co to , it might be worthwhile to let you know beforehand: no matter what you plan to do to Su Mu, no matter what dirty, shaless scheming you prepare, ignoring Su Mu’s wishes, just go ahead. But whatever the consequences, I will not separate from Su Mu."
Fu Shinian let out a light chuckle and also stood up from the bench, only a step away from Wen Han. He looked at Wen Han and chuckled softly,
"Are you sure?"
Wen Han narrowed his eyes slightly, unsure why, but he always felt that Fu Shinian was harboring malicious intentions, even brewing a major plot,
"What are you going to do?"
"Didn’t you say that no matter what I do, you won’t let go of Su Mu’s hand?" Fu Shinian smiled lightly. "But you might have forgotten there’s another possibility, where sothing happens that makes Su Mu feel guilty towards you, embarrassed to stay by your side, and so she chooses to leave."
Wen Han, even if he was slow to catch on, understood what Fu Shinian ant. Unable to restrain himself, he grabbed him fiercely by the collar and warned him,
"Fu Shinian, you have no relationship with Su Mu anymore. You’d better put away those despicable, low maneuvers. She is now my girlfriend. If you dare do anything to her, I will not let you off."
Threatened in such a manner by Wen Han, Fu Shinian still appeared utterly serene, his smile never faltering,
"Whether you let off is one thing, whether I get Su Mu back is another. I’m curious, if it indeed cos to that day, will you still stand by Su Mu? Maybe you will. After all, Su Mu and I shared more than two years of marriage, done what should and shouldn’t be done as husband and wife, haven’t we?"
Provoked by Fu Shinian, Wen Han’s patience finally snapped. He raised his fist ready to strike at Fu Shinian’s face but stopped short, as Fu Shinian nonchalantly spoke a few words that halted his action.
"Just a friendly reminder, your punch might not result in my imdiate departure from the hospital. I might go straight upstairs to see Qiqi, and incidentally let Qiqi ask what happened to my face. Want to guess how I’d answer? Will I say I accidentally fell down, or that her favorite Uncle Wen hit ?"
Wen Han believed that Fu Shinian was capable of such shalessness. Suppressing his rage, he let go of him. Fu Shinian coolly adjusted his clothing,
"Actually, I could have kept all this to myself today, but considering your ticulous care for Qiqi and Su Mu over the past two years, I feel I should remind you. Else, when that mont cos, I fear you won’t be able to accept it."
"I have never t anyone more shaless than you."
Fu Shinian smiled slightly,
"Yes, but as I said before, between my wife and my pride, I choose the forr."
When Wen Han entered the ward, his complexion wasn’t great, and Su Mu noticed it right away, growing nervous,
"What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
