Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Habit and Rebellion

Last night, the final result was that Qiao Yu went to rest, Auntie Lin also left, and only Fu Shinian sat by Su Mu’s bedside, keeping vigil.

Su Mu’s breathing was very light at first. Around 5 a.m., it gradually became smoother and more even, although her complexion was still terribly pale, it was no longer as frightening as before, and Fu Shinian’s suspended breath slowly relaxed.

To see Su Mu in her current state was something Fu Shinian had not anticipated. He didn’t know how to describe his feelings at that moment. If he had to use a word, he thought ’obsessed’ might be more appropriate because looking back at what happened a few hours ago, or even a few days ago, he didn’t recognize himself and felt that everything that happened was unbelievable.

About having a child, he wasn’t insistent that it be now, and he wasn’t even sure that it was the best time, yet he inexplicably didn’t want to hear a rejection from Su Mu, especially after he saw how patient and gentle she was toward Wen Shaoyuan.

Fu Shinian’s childhood could be described as motherless, but he was still luckier than Wen Shaoyuan, as his father and grandparents had always been by his side, giving him the warmest care in the world. Although it might not compare to a mother’s love, since Fu Shinian had never experienced what maternal affection felt like, he didn’t feel any regret.

Still, when he was writing essays, the subject would inevitably be ’My Mother’, during which he would always fantasize that his mother was the gentlest woman in the world, with the sweetest smile, the softest hands, and the warmest embrace.

The person from his past fantasies began to take form after Su Mu met Wen Shaoyuan, which was exactly how he imagined her.

However, such a Su Mu belonged to another child, someone else’s child.

Fu Shinian knew he was being somewhat childish, but he was fully aware of the kind of expectations Wen Shaoyuan had for Su Mu; he hoped she would become his mother. A child doesn’t understand concealment, and his emotions are so explicitly exposed that ignoring them was not an option.

He didn’t blame Wen Shaoyuan; he even understood him, and if possible, he was even willing to fulfill his wish.

But what about after fulfilling Wen Shaoyuan’s wish?

What about his own child?

Fu Shinian’s thoughts were quite unreasonable, and while he found them laughable, he couldn’t change them. Indeed, it was after seeing Wen Shaoyuan and Su Mu together that he urgently wanted a child, perhaps feeling that such a family would be complete and could fill the void in his heart.

However, Su Mu refused him. He had not expected Su Mu to refuse, even though he was convinced that Su Mu didn’t genuinely like him.

Perhaps Qiao Yu was right. He had said, "You are accustomed to Su Mu’s compliance, so you cannot accept her slightest resistance."

At seven o’clock, Qiao Yu pushed open the door to the master bedroom and walked in. Seeing Fu Shinian still with his eyes open, sitting in the chair beside the bed, he frowned slightly,

"Have you been sitting here all night?"

Fu Shinian turned to Qiao Yu upon hearing him and then stood up,

"Are you awake?"

Qiao Yu walked over, checked the IV, which now only had two bottles left, and observed that Su Mu’s complexion had improved quite a bit. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief, then turned back to look at Fu Shinian,

"You should also take care of yourself. Don’t make it so that once Su Mu is better, I’ll have to come over to give you an IV. Although I work at the Fu family’s hospital, I am not your personal physician."

Fu Shinian responded calmly, "I know."

Qiao Yu wanted to say something, but looking at Fu Shinian’s demeanor, he felt unable to speak. Continuing would make even him feel like a nagging old woman, which was extremely annoying. He sighed and took his leave:

"I have other matters at the hospital, so I need to leave. Su Mu shouldn’t have any more issues. When she wakes up, she still needs to eat something, primarily liquids that are easy to digest, gradually increasing the amount. If you have any questions, feel free to call me anytime."

Fu Shinian nodded:

"Okay."

As Fu Shinian was seeing Qiao Yu to the door, Qiao Yu suddenly thought of a very important question and turned back to look at Fu Shinian with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes:

"After Su Mu wakes up, you won’t continue to restrict her freedom, will you?"

Fu Shinian glanced at him indifferently, did not say a word, and turned around to enter the master bedroom. Then he closed the door in front of him without a trace of sentimentality.

Qiao Yu was snubbed, which made him very displeased, but considering Su Mu should not be disturbed, he could only suppress his displeasure and leave.

Throughout the journey, Qiao Yu thought about Su Mu’s situation. Given his understanding of Fu Shinian, it was unlikely that he would continue to confine Su Mu; however, it seemed somewhat difficult for him, with his personality, to apologize to Su Mu. Yet Su Mu couldn’t keep recovering under such circumstances; she needed physical and mental pleasure, or else she might develop depression.

As he dwelled on this issue, Qiao Yu drove all the way to the hospital, so absorbed that he completely failed to notice the car approaching him head-on until the other driver slammed on the brakes, emitting a piercing sound that made him realize what was happening. The moment he turned his head, he saw Jiang Bei, who was almost thrust against the steering wheel. At that moment, Qiao Yu had only one thought:

It’s over.

Indeed, after Jiang Bei calmed her breathing, she unbuckled her seatbelt, stepped out of the car, and quickly walked over to him, staring at Qiao Yu’s somewhat dazed face, and shouted:

"Are you blind when you walk? Do you realize how dangerous that was, or were you trying to scam me this way?"

Qiao Yu begged for mercy:

"Madam, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I was just lost in thought and didn’t see your car coming. If I had known, I would have stood aside and saluted you long ago."

"I don’t care. It’s a minor thing that you were hit, but do you know that my heart rate is still 180 because of the scare you gave me? Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for my losses?"

Qiao Yu’s eyes widened:

"Between the two of us, who is trying to scam whom? I mean, Doctor Jiang, even though I wasn’t watching where I was walking, at the end of the day, you were driving too fast. This is a parking lot, not your racetrack. Don’t you bear any responsibility? You want me to compensate you? Are you obsessed with money?"

Jiang Bei hadn’t expected Qiao Yu to accuse her in return and immediately flew into a rage. But before she could erupt, Qiao Yu jumped back several meters. Naturally, Jiang Bei wouldn’t let him get away and made as if to chase him when another car drove up behind her, unable to pass because her car blocked the way, honking its horn.

Jiang Bei was a person who distinguished between public and private matters. She wouldn’t impose her emotions involving Qiao Yu onto others. She glared hatefully at Qiao Yu, returned to her car, and slowly drove it to her parking spot. As she passed by Qiao Yu, she didn’t forget to threaten him:

"Qiao Yu, you just wait, this isn’t over between us!"
