Qiqi wasn’t feeling sleepy at all, so she heard Fu Shinian’s words very clearly, and looked up at him:
"Daddy, why do we have to move? Isn’t it good living here?"
Su Mu only then realized that the words she had heard just now were not an illusion; her gaze also fell on his face, but Fu Shinian answered Qiqi’s question first: "It’s not that this place isn’t good, but we have a better place, and Qiqi will like it there too."
"After I go there, can I still sleep with Mom and Dad?"
Fu Shinian’s expression showed difficulty, he obviously didn’t like the idea, but seeing Qiqi’s hopeful eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to say ’no’ and eventually nodded: "Of course you can."
Su Mu saw Fu Shinian’s struggle and couldn’t help but chuckle, hearing this, Fu Shinian looked over, his eyebrows slightly raised:
"Are you happy?"
Instead of answering, Su Mu asked:
"Gui Ning Residence?"
"Yeah, we should have moved there three years ago, but too much happened in between and I had no plans for it, but now that you’re back, there’s no reason not to move. The old lady seems fine on the surface, but Qiao Yu said she still needs to recuperate. Here is not bad, but after all, it’s still a bit noisy."
Su Mu didn’t respond, Fu Shinian asked: "You don’t want to?"
"There’s nothing I don’t want, it’s all the sa."
Fu Shinian gazed deeply at her because of that remark but, in the end, he didn’t ask what ’it’s all the sa’ ant, presumably because it wasn’t the answer he wanted to hear. So, he let it go.
Whether it was past issues with the Wen Family or recent work, Su Mu indeed had less ti with Qiqi. Today the studio was closed; Su Mu didn’t have to work, so she decided to stay ho with Qiqi without going anywhere. Fu Shinian originally had the sa intention but ended up going to the company; the trip to the Maldives had been a last-minute schedule, and there was a lot of work piled up at the office needing his attention.
Before leaving, Qiqi noticed Fu Shinian’s reluctance and kissed him on the cheek:
"Daddy, be good at work, and I’ll co find you for lunch with Mom."
Fu Shinian slightly raised his eyebrows and agreed before Su Mu could correct Qiqi: "Okay, I will have Song Yi co to pick you up."
After saying this and not giving Su Mu a chance to refuse, he left. Su Mu looked at Qiqi, disapproving of her expression, but Qiqi just shrugged her shoulders, not thinking it was a big deal~
Before going to the Maldives, sothing had happened that Jiang Bei had never asked about, and Su Mu also just greeted him and left. Now back, she felt the need to see him; after calling and learning he was at ho, she took Qiqi there, only to find Wei Shaoqin there as well.
"Daddy Wei." Qiqi hadn’t seen Wei Shaoqin in a long ti, and plunged into his arms the mont she saw him: "Do you have a new love? That’s why you haven’t co to see Qiqi for so long?"
Wei Shaoqin smiled wryly, pinching her nose:
"What are you thinking about? How could I not want you? I’m only afraid that soday because of so handso guy, you won’t want ."
"You are so handso, I would never not want you, unless you got old, then I could legitimately abandon you."
Wei Shaoqin: "..."
Su Mu chuckled, walked over and sat down next to Jiang Bei: "Why do you have ti to co here today?"
"Nothing special, the company isn’t busy today, and I haven’t seen Jiang Bei for a long ti, so I ca to check on him; just as I was about to leave, your call ca in, and I thought of seeing you as well, of course, mainly to see our little princess which I’ve been really missing."
Qiqi, hearing this, snorted coldly, clearly not believing his sweet talk. Wei Shaoqin was very sad about this, so he decided to take a whole day off to accompany the princess; hearing this proposal, Qiqi thought for a while and then nodded agreent, since staying here she’d be alone playing anyway, and going out she could just go wild.
Wei Shaoqin had previously taken Qiqi out to play by themselves multiple tis, so Su Mu was not worried, reminding them of a few things before letting them leave. Watching them leave, she slowly retracted her gaze, only to find that Jiang Bei had been watching her all the ti.
"What are you looking at for?"
Jiang Bei smiled, "I’m thinking, albeit we outsiders might think Fu Shinian isn’t the right one for you, your heart likely has already made up its mind. Qiqi has changed a lot; although she was also cheerful before, now she truly has confidence. But I’m curious whether it’s really for Qiqi, or if you’ve actually decided to reunite with Fu Shinian?"
Su Mu gave a shallow smile:
"Does it make a difference? Whether it’s for Qiqi or for myself, we’ll be living together."
"It makes no difference, but I suspect your feelings might be different." Jiang Bei smiled: "But that’s nothing to worry about; even if it’s for Qiqi now, in the future, you’ll genuinely want to be with him again, I’ve seen over these years, Fu Shinian is like a poison placed within you, sothing that can’t be completely removed."
Su Mu thought about it but stayed silent.
Jiang Bei patted her shoulder:
"Don’t feel any pressure, now that it’s co to this, just keep moving forward. I always believe that the saying ’When you get to the mountain, there will be a way’ isn’t false. Perhaps your current determination isn’t firm, but looking back in the future, you might find it all rather funny and aningless."
Since Qiqi wasn’t around, the plan to et Fu Shinian for lunch was subsequently postponed. When Fu Shinian called, Su Mu was about to go out for food with Jiang Bei; she picked up his call:
"Is sothing up?"
"When are you coming? I sent Song Yi to pick you up."
Su Mu casually responded: "No need. Qiqi went to play with Wei Shaoqin, she’ll probably be wild all day. I’m with Jiang Bei now, not coming over."
After saying that, she hung up without giving Fu Shinian any chance to react. Jiang Bei beside her, smiled slightly: "Even if you are back with Fu Shinian now, it seems I don’t have much to worry about. After three years, you’re no longer the little woman who used to only look out for his approval."
After the two had lunch, neither had the intention to return ho and decided to take a stroll in a nearby mall. Neither had anything specific to buy; they just wanted to take a walk and digest the food, but unexpectedly, this simple ti led them to encounter people they did not want to see.
Su Mu and Jiang Bei were in a brand store trying on shoes, just had one on, hadn’t managed to get the other when suddenly a foot appeared and kicked the new shoe harshly away. Jiang Bei lazily lifted his eyes to look over, smiled softly.
