Su Mu and Su Shiyue have been getting along well recently, but even so, it hasn’t led Su Mu to take care of her in every possible way. One could only say it’s sowhat better than three years ago and just after returning to Bishui Yuntian. She would help her at work, but it’s indeed not like Fu Shinian said, attending to every tiny detail for her. So it can be said that Su Mu had intentionally arranged for Su Shiyue to co over.
As for the reason, Su Shiyue also understood, and she smiled faintly:
"Brother, are you happy now?"
In a place unseen by Su Shiyue, Fu Shinian slightly raised his brows: "Why should I be happy?"
"The sister-in-law asked to co here completely out of consideration for your feelings."
Fu Shinian slightly raised the corners of his mouth:
"Okay, I’ll head ho first."
Su Shiyue was surprised: "Are you not coming to pick up the sister-in-law?"
"Why should I go over there?" Fu Shinian said, "She has her reasons for dining with Wen Han. What am I to do if I go? Not trust her? Or to catch an affair in action? It would just be giving our opponents sothing to laugh at. Besides, I don’t feel that Su Mu could fall for soone other than . I’m quite confident about that."
After saying that, Fu Shinian hung up the phone, and Su Shiyue looked at the dimming phone screen and smiled faintly.
Before long, Su Mu and Wen Han erged from the private room, standing behind Su Shiyue. Su Mu spoke up: "It’s about ti to head back."
Upon hearing this, Su Shiyue got up and smiled faintly:
"Okay, then you wait here for a bit, sister-in-law. I’ll go call the two kids."
"Alright."
Watching Su Shiyue’s retreating figure, Wen Han smiled: "You get along well with Su Shiyue now?"
"Mhm, the young lady was just too naïve before. These past few years, after experiencing so much, she has matured and beco sensible. She’s now helping with my studio, and when she has ti, she also keeps an eye on Qiqi for . It’s quite nice."
Wen Han nodded:
"I can feel it; you truly enjoy this kind of life."
"Enjoynt might not be the word, but I do really like tranquility. If I could continue like this for a lifeti, that’s probably all I want."
Wen Han looked at Su Mu, his eyes sowhat deep. Su Mu felt it, but she never turned back to look at Wen Han. After a few seconds of silence, Wen Han also gradually smiled. He couldn’t say he never had the chance to give Su Mu such a life. He had, and he had tried his utmost to provide it. But even with that confidence, believing that he absolutely could provide her with tranquility, it wouldn’t be the tranquility she wanted.
In the tranquility she desired, there had to be an elent of Fu Shinian, and that was sothing Wen Han couldn’t provide no matter what; even if he devoted his entire life, he couldn’t turn into Fu Shinian.
After leaving the hotel, Wen Shaoyuan arranged the next eting ti with Qiqi. Su Mu had no objections, and Wen Han also smiled, saying: "If it’s convenient later on, I’ll bring Shaoyuan to your studio every weekend. It would also be company for Qiqi, so they won’t miss each other too much."
Qiqi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Wen Han and then at Su Mu:
"Really? Will you really do that?"
Wen Shaoyuan also smiled, gently touching Qiqi’s hair and saying softly: "Qiqi, don’t worry. Even if they don’t agree, I won’t let you go such a long ti without seeing again. I promise you that."
Hearing these words, Su Mu smiled faintly, looking at Wen Han:
"There’s nothing inconvenient. Even if I am busy, there are others in the studio, and Shiyue will be here to look after them. You can just send him over whenever it suits you, and if I am busy, I can co to pick him up."
"Good, then it’s settled."
The two children hugged reluctantly to part ways, but this ti there was no sadness, for they were all looking forward to the next eting, on the not-so-distant following weekend.
On their way back, Su Mu originally planned to drop Su Shiyue directly at the studio. Currently, she was not staying at Bishui Yuntian, so they both drove their own cars to work. Su Shiyue had co over in Su Mu’s car earlier, so now Su Mu needed to drive her to the parking lot not far from the studio entrance.
On the return journey, Su Shiyue hesitated for a mont before speaking up. She said:
"Actually, I don’t really need to go and get the car today."
Su Mu glanced up at Su Shiyue through the rearview mirror: "What’s up?"
"My brother is back." Su Shiyue looked at Su Mu. "Earlier, over the phone, he should have reached ho by now."
Fu Shinian did ntion he would be back these couple of days, but the ssage Su Mu received was for tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he had co back today, yet did not inform her. Su Mu showed no particular reaction, but upon hearing Su Shiyue’s words, Qiqi beca excited and happy:
"Aunt, are you serious? Is my dad really back? Why didn’t he tell ? I thought he was still a long way from returning; I miss him so much."
When it ca to Fu Shinian, Qiqi always had endless things to say. Su Mu just smiled and didn’t speak. Su Shiyue comforted Qiqi for a few monts before looking at Su Mu again:
"Now that my brother is back, isn’t the sister-in-law going to Bishui Yuntian?"
Su Mu shook her head:
"I’ve left everything in my apartnt; I won’t go back today, maybe tomorrow."
She wasn’t really lying; since both of them had acted out this scene to this extent, seeing each other a day early or late really made no difference. So, the excuse that Su Mu gave, which seed like one to Su Shiyue, was true. She really did feel it was inconvenient to go back suddenly. She subconsciously didn’t want to admit to that faint emotion inside her.
Su Shiyue wanted to say sothing else but ultimately kept quiet, smiling faintly:
"Alright then. But if my brother doesn’t see Qiqi today, he’s probably going to be sad."
Qiqi also said:
"Wooden, wooden, I want to see dad. Can we go back to see dad, please? Other than dad, I miss Great Grandmother too."
Actually, since Fu Shinian went on a business trip and Su Mu returned to her apartnt, Qiqi had not been completely deprived of seeing the Great Grandmother. Su Shiyue would also occasionally take her back for a short stay, and leave her with the Great Grandmother when the weekend got busy. So perhaps Qiqi genuinely missed the Great Grandmother, but her true intention was definitely Fu Shinian.
With a faint smile, Su Mu didn’t insist:
"You can go back first with Aunt, and tomorrow I’ll co back to see you, okay?"
Qiqi hesitated only briefly before nodding: "Okay, we’ve agreed then. Wooden will co back tomorrow, and I’ll go see my dad today."
"Alright."
But when it ca ti to part, Qiqi suddenly felt a bit of reluctance and stood by the door of Su Shiyue’s car, making no move to get inside. Su Mu looked at her gently smiling and walked over to crouch in front of her:
"What’s the matter?"
"I feel like leaving you here all alone is so cruel. Maybe I should stay with you instead."
Hearing this, Su Shiyue laughed softly:
"Qiqi, you haven’t seen your dad for a long ti. Mom will be back tomorrow, and dad is at ho waiting for you."
