They were woken up by the sound of Tu Hengsha’s phone, the alarm ringing, and both reached out to turn it off at the sa ti, but he got to it first.
Tu Hengsha, still half-asleep, continued to snuggle into his arms, but suddenly realized sothing was off. How was she sleeping with Mr. Su? Her first thought was: Did anything happen? Did sothing really happen?
Her second thought quickly followed: nothing happened. She just fell asleep hugging Mr. Su.
The third thought was: Oh no, I didn’t go ho again; I still owe that checkup...
The fourth thought: she finally saw the phone in Mr. Su’s hand and, feeling guilty, she imdiately reached out to grab it.
If she hadn’t tried to grab it, it might not have been a big deal, but her attempt made it obvious sothing was up! Mr. Su, being a suspicious person, imdiately wondered if there was a secret on the phone that she didn’t want him to know. So he was more determined to check it.
Quickly unlocking it, the screen showed a Baidu page, and in their tussle, he saw what she’d searched for: the best n’s hospital...
What was with the n’s hospital?
He glared at her.
She was fully awake now, and seeing it was useless to resist, she gave in, "I’m going to wash my face, take your ti looking..."
And he would take his ti looking!
He went ahead and checked her search history, which included: Is there sothing wrong if my boyfriend doesn’t want ? Does my boyfriend not want because he has a psychological issue? What to do if my boyfriend has problems? And especially, the search results for what to do if your boyfriend has problems had a bunch of answers suggesting breaking up! And as if that wasn’t enough, she actually searched another question right after: Should I break up or try to save him if my boyfriend has problems? Then she started searching hospitals...
Tu Hengsha was brushing her teeth in the bathroom when she suddenly heard an angry shout from outside, "Tu Hengsha! Get out here!"
"..." She continued brushing her teeth, thinking she wasn’t stupid enough to go out now...
When Tu Hengsha sat in the dining room, only Chen Qi was there. The others hadn’t arrived, and Su Ronggui was still in his bathroom.
At this mont, Tu Hengsha got a clear look at the wounds on Chen Qi’s face, which was indeed shocking. The day before, he’d avoided everyone, not wanting to be seen, but now he faced her directly, even giving a slight smile. However, the smile pulled at his injuries, making it a bit awkward.
For a mont, neither of them spoke, making it a bit awkward.
It was Tu Hengsha who broke the silence first, "Is the kid still sleeping?"
"Yes..." Chen Qi replied softly, "Sorry for the trouble."
"No trouble at all," she responded politely. There really wasn’t any trouble; it was Su Ronggui who was busy with everything.
Chen Qi seed hesitant, struggling with what to say, but finally spoke, "Tu Hengsha, don’t misunderstand. Yesterday when you ca back, it was because my daughter, Nuonuo, fell in the garden. Su Ronggui and I both went to help, and I didn’t squat properly, so my daughter and I almost fell over together. Su Ronggui helped us up, and that was when you saw us."
Tu Hengsha didn’t expect Chen Qi to co over and explain; why did everyone in the world think she’d misunderstand? She chuckled, "No, I didn’t misunderstand at all."
"That’s good," Chen Qi smiled again, "because I heard you two seed to argue last night..."
So, did Chen Qi show up early in the morning just to explain to her?
She waved her hand, unconcerned, "This is just routine for Mr. Su and . We can’t go a day without so fussing!"
"That’s good..." Chen Qi seed relieved, "I thought I caused you trouble! Su Ronggui doesn’t talk much, but he’s very upright and reliable. I didn’t know who to turn to after what happened, but he’s one of the few I know who is trustworthy, so I went to him. I’ve already caused him enough trouble, and if it also affected you, I’d truly be mortified..." Actually, she not only heard them fighting last night but also heard her na being ntioned...
"No worries, truly no worries!" As she said this, Su Ronggui and his brother Su Rongyu ca over. She waved, "Mr. Su, morning... Mr. Su is really looking handso today!"
Flattery goes a long way, so better butter up Mr. Su and hope he forgets about Baidu searches...
Su Rongyu chid in, "When does my second brother ever not look handso?"
Tu Hengsha looked at Su Rongyu’s youthful, round face, still with a bit of baby fat, and she couldn’t help but see a bit of Xiao Xu from years ago. She couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch him, "You’re even more handso..."
"Giggle...," Su Rongyu blushed and leaned over, wanting to nuzzle in Tu Hengsha’s hand like a puppy.
However, before Tu Hengsha could touch him, a pair of chopsticks ca down and smacked her hand, reddening the skin imdiately.
She rubbed her hand and was about to glare at Mr. Su, but seeing his dark expression, rembering last night’s search history, she wisely swallowed her retort. When Mr. Su sat next to her, she quietly shifted her chair a bit away.
"Where are you going?" Mr. Su scolded.
She reluctantly moved closer again.
Chen Qi, sitting across from them, watched the scene unfold, slightly surprised and lost in thought.
Sister Qian started bringing breakfast, including Tu Hengsha’s shrimp stead egg.
When Su Rongyu saw it, he reached to take it, but Su Ronggui scolded him, "Put it down!" and then placed a bowl of plain boiled eggs in front of him.
"Hey! Just one serving? That’s favoritism!" Su Rongyu protested.
"There are two servings," Sister Qian explained with a smile, "One for Nuonuo and one for Miss Tu."
"Are you a kid?" Su Ronggui asked him.
"Then is the second sister-in-law a kid? She’s still my second sister-in-law!"
"Eat it or not, if not, go ho and eat!"
"..." Su Rongyu was at a loss for words.
While the brothers argued, Tu Hengsha picked out the shrimp to eat, leaving the eggs behind.
In the midst of bickering, Mr. Su noticed this, grabbed her bowl, took her spoon, and fed her bites of the tender egg.
She opened her mouth reluctantly; was there anything more frustrating? She didn’t like eggs but couldn’t escape eating them...
One bowl of smooth egg custard was quickly fed to her, leaving her in a foul mood.
Chen Qi had averted her gaze, but now couldn’t help turning back to watch this, suddenly laughing, "Su Ronggui, didn’t know you and your girlfriend act like she’s your daughter."
Su Ronggui put down the bowl, looking at his girlfriend with a fatherly gaze, "Can’t help it. She’s just so worry-inducing; if I don’t keep an eye on her, all sorts of things happen."
Chen Qi laughed, tugged at her injuries again, which still felt odd.
After breakfast, Su Ronggui and Tu Hengsha had to go to work, and Su Rongyu had to go out too, making the table suddenly very quiet.
Chen Qi sat alone drinking porridge as the outside looked gloomy and cold. From outside, ca Tu Hengsha’s complaints, "I told you not to add more sweaters, and insisted on bundling up. Now I’m like a bear and can’t even lift the cara!"
"Give it to , I’ll carry it," Su Ronggui’s voice was gentle and deep.
Biting the porcelain spoon, Chen Qi’s expression turned a bit somber.
