Chapter 542: Chapter 543: Change of Mindset

Several months ago, when Su Cheng learned that Nan Qing was dating Wang Yixuan, he was very angry and even made a special call to Mrs. Nangong to complain.

At that time, Su Cheng didn’t know what his feelings for Nan Qing really were.

In the past, he always told Nan Qing to find a boyfriend quickly so he wouldn’t have to play the role and help her with this and that.

But when Nan Qing actually got a boyfriend, his heart felt especially uncomfortable.

Actually, after hearing in the elevator that day that Nan Qing and Wang Yixuan were a fake couple, his anger stemmed more from the fact that he had been deceived by Nan Qing; it took him a long time to realize that he was actually happy, happy that Nan Qing still liked him.

But what did happiness matter? He was very clear that the person he truly loved in his heart was Fu Han, and as for Nan Qing, she was at most a fondness; but Su Cheng didn’t understand, how could one person have room in their heart for two people at the same time?

He couldn’t accept this side of himself, so he told himself in his heart that the only person he loved was Fu Han, he simply didn’t like Nan Qing dating, and it was only a matter of not being used to it, nothing more.

The next time they met was in M Country, more than two months after the elevator incident, and this time Nan Qing and Wang Yixuan were still posing as a couple.

Su Cheng’s first impression was that they were deceiving him again. However, their every word and deed were clearly that of a couple in love; the interactions between the two couldn’t be more genuine, by all appearances, they were a couple.

Later, Su Cheng couldn’t help but call Nan Qing up to the attic to confirm, and at that time, he even said that he was willing to be with Nan Qing and asked her to break up with Wang Yixuan.

Although afterwards Su Cheng felt like he had been under a spell, looking back now, he didn’t regret saying those words; it seemed... it seemed that after being rejected by Nan Qing when he said such words, he felt much lighter.

To this day, Su Cheng couldn’t explain his own feelings. His love for Fu Han was unquestionable, but it seemed he could never really let go of Nan Qing... But things were much better now, he was starting to accept that Nan Qing had a boyfriend, and that the boyfriend was Wang Yixuan.

But being asked to go to the Nangong family today, he felt somewhat troubled. For some reason, Su Cheng was now a bit resistant to seeing Nan Qing.

Mrs. Huangpu, not having received an answer from Su Cheng, couldn’t help but speak, "Su Cheng, what are you thinking? I know you don’t like Nan Qing, and I won’t force you to break them up. Besides, Nan Qing is pregnant now, you’re about to be an uncle, shouldn’t you go see them?"

"Pregnant?" Su Cheng struggled to utter these three words, his expression becoming extremely complex.

Mrs. Huangpu’s face also took on a complex look: "Your godparents are furious about this. They say that today is to see if that... that Wang Yixuan is reliable. If he’s not, they will never let Nan Qing marry him. The Nangong family can afford to raise children, even ten wouldn’t be an issue."

Su Cheng had spoken ill of Wang Yixuan and Nan Qing in the past, and though he was shocked about Nan Qing’s pregnancy, he also felt that since Nan Qing was pregnant and the two indeed had feelings for each other, it would be unkind to speak ill of them again.

He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "Mother, this is their business, we should not get involved. Nan Qing is old enough, she has her own decisions, we should respect her decisions."

Mrs. Huangpu looked deeply at Su Cheng, as if she was seeing him for the first time. After a long while, she said softly, "It’s good that you’ve come to terms with it."

Those simple words made Su Cheng’s heart jolt, his breath stopped for a moment. He felt as if there was a stone pressing on his heart, wanting to say something but unable to speak, in the end, he could only pretend not to understand and said nothing.

Mrs. Huangpu did not press on relentlessly. Instead, she subtly changed the topic, "You and Nan Qing grew up together. Even if there isn’t the bond of husband and wife, the bond of siblings still remains. You two are both only children; when we old ones are gone, you two should still look after each other, right? You should go see them today, just like a member of Nan Qing’s maternal family."

The words ’maternal family’ sent Su Cheng into another spell of absent-mindedness, and it was only with Mrs. Huangpu’s reminder that he came back to the present.

"Alright, mother, I’ll go change my clothes now. You wait for me downstairs for a while," Su Cheng finally compromised, not just because Mrs. Huangpu was insistent, and not just because she said he was part of the maternal family, but because he truly wanted to go and see for himself, even if it was for the inexplicable emotions in his heart.

The Huangpu and Nangong families lived in the same upscale villa neighborhood, with only about a hundred meters separating their two villas. To be exact, there was an artificial lake more than a hundred meters wide between their homes.

If one walked, they would have to go around more than half of the lake’s edge, but it was only a few minutes’ walk.

Su Cheng left the work that was only half-finished and returned to his room to look through his wardrobe, eventually picking a tailor-made suit.

Half an hour later, Su Cheng came downstairs, his handsome face tinged with a faint blush, as if he was somewhat embarrassed or awkward.

Instead, it was Mrs. Huangpu who was very pleased when she saw him, repeatedly praising how handsome Su Cheng looked.

No wonder Mrs. Huangpu was full of praise; not only was Su Cheng dressed appropriately today, but even his hair had been carefully styled, using almost half a bottle of hair gel to maintain the hairstyle, making him look exceptionally sharp.

As the mother and son walked along the lake, the sunshine of a winter day fell on them without reservation, which should have been warm, but the cold winter wind diluted the warm feeling.

The undulating blue of the lake, with two pairs of mandarin ducks undeterred by the cold, were darting in and out of the water lilies, evidently foraging for food.

Su Cheng’s eyes recoiled as if burned; he told himself it must have been because the sunshine reflected off the water’s surface in shimmering waves that caused such an effect.

They had only just entered the Nangong family’s courtyard when they heard a bustle of laughter and chatter coming from inside the house, with voices of both men and women, suggesting that it was quite lively inside.

Mrs. Huangpu gave Su Cheng a look full of complexity, which was met with Su Cheng’s calm gaze. She sighed so subtly that it was barely perceptible, and then she took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the Nangong house.

The first to greet them were Mr. and Mrs. Nangong, who greeted them with exceptional warmth, "You’ve finally come over, I was about to call and urge you."

Mrs. Huangpu, while warmly holding Su Cheng’s hand, smiled and said, "It’s all my fault for taking a little too long with makeup. I wanted to look proper for the first time meeting Nan Qing’s boyfriend; I couldn’t let our Nan Qing be embarrassed, could I?"
