Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Where Did He Touch You?

Fu Shinian remained silent, which led Ji Nanfeng to make another guess:

"What, you two still haven’t resolved the issue from last time?"

At these words, Qiao Yu also looked toward Fu Shinian, remembering vividly Fu Shinian’s frenzy in the hospital that day. It seemed Fu Shinian went abroad that very afternoon, and considering their temperaments, it was very likely they hadn’t been in contact for half a month.

As for what exactly had happened between Su Mu and Wei Shaoqin, Ji Nanfeng had never asked, and Qiao Yu wasn’t curious either. It was their good brother’s family matter. Even though they cared, if Fu Shinian didn’t bring it up, they wouldn’t poke their noses into it. If nothing had happened, mentioning it would only make the parties concerned feel worse. If there was something, and Fu Shinian hadn’t taken any action yet, why would they gossip!

Fu Shinian didn’t respond to Ji Nanfeng’s words but simply stood up from the sofa:

"You guys continue, I’m leaving first."

Qiao Yu also put down his glass immediately, "I’ll go with you."

"Yeah yeah yeah, if you all leave, what fun would it be for me to stay behind by myself!" Having said that, he also stood up and walked out with them, side by side.

...

After waiting for another 15 minutes, Su Mu finally saw a waiter drive a car to the front of the bar. Feeling relieved from the aimless waiting, she stood up from the steps and walked toward the car. However, upon seeing that familiar car, the familiar license plate number, her whole being froze. Reason told her she should hurry away, but before she could take a step, the bar’s doors opened, and the sounds of chaotic footsteps accompanied by laughter reached Su Mu’s ears.

"Ah Nian, you’re really becoming more of a killjoy lately."

"Why don’t you say you’ve been getting wilder lately?" Qiao Yu teased with a smile, "If it weren’t for Shinian being able to handle you, would I still accompany you to go crazy until the wee hours of the morning?"

Fu Shinian chuckled, lit a cigarette, and paid no attention to their banter.

Ji Nanfeng asked, "Where are you staying tonight?"

Fu Shinian exhaled a cloud of smoke and said coldly, "Going home."

"Alright, we won’t delay you, you should head home early. Qiao Yu and I are on the way, we’ll leave together."

Fu Shinian said nothing more, calling out to Su Mu, who had her back turned to them, "Driver, let’s go."

Su Mu didn’t move, thinking whether it might be better to just run away, but Fu Shinian was already showing clear impatience:

"Didn’t you hear what I said?"

Su Mu clenched her teeth, pulled the brim of her cap down lower, turned around to take the car keys from the doorman, and went straight to the car. She prayed that Fu Shinian, who must have drunk a lot today, wouldn’t recognize her, but contrary to her wish, he recognized her the moment she opened the car door:

"Su Mu?"

Ji Nanfeng and Qiao Yu, who were already heading to their own car, stopped in their tracks and turned back to look at the two. The night was too deep, and the lights outside the bar were red and green. Standing at a distance, they were not sure if the person in the oversized driver’s company vest was really Su Mu, so they walked back:

"Su Mu, is it really you? What are you doing here?"

Having been discovered, Su Mu didn’t have anything to hide, so she took off the duckbill cap, and her hair like seaweed cascaded down, rippling beautifully in the night wind.

Su Mu smiled at Ji Nanfeng:

"I’m doing a part-time job at the driver service company."

Ji Nanfeng was momentarily surprised and looked at Fu Shinian, seeing his obvious change in expression, about to say something, but Qiao Yu pulled at his sleeve to stop him:

"Fine, since the driver is Su Mu, we feel even more reassured. We won’t keep you lovebirds, Nanfeng and I will head on first."

Having said that, they left this place of dispute.

Fu Shinian remained still, just looking coldly at Su Mu. Su Mu, not wanting to waste any more time, took the initiative:

"Get in the car."

Fu Shinian snorted coldly, "You’re coming home late every night just to be a driver? Mrs. Fu, the Fu family surely hasn’t fallen on hard times to the point you need to moonlight to make up for the household expenses, has it?"

The oppressive atmosphere in the car nearly suffocated Su Mu to death; she drove as fast as she could, thankful that the man in the backseat didn’t raise any objections.

The car stopped at the Bishui Yuntian villa. Su Mu looked at the man in the back, unsure if he was asleep or just resting, and spoke:

"We’ve arrived."

The man didn’t open his eyes, "How much do you make for this trip?"

"200."

The man snorted coldly again and said nothing more, opening the door and getting out of the car. Su Mu, exhausted, leaned back on the seat to rest for a while. When she got out of the car and walked toward the villa, her phone suddenly chimed with a notification sound. Su Mu glanced at it—it was a WeChat transfer notice: 200,000 yuan.

He was still as generous as ever.

When Su Mu entered the master bedroom, Fu Shinian was in the shower. She was too tired to wait, grabbed a nightgown, and went to the guest room. Somehow, inexplicably, she thought of the scene in the hospital’s emergency staircase from half a month ago. That soul-wrenching humiliation made her stiffen up for a moment.

It had been half a month, and based on usual practice, she was certain he would want her next, but Su Mu had already started to feel an aversion to making love, more so than before. She couldn’t even think about it; it made her feel cold, nauseous.

She couldn’t imagine what it would be like if Fu Shinian touched her, to avoid any unnecessary trouble, Su Mu chose to stay in the guest room after showering.

She needed some time to overcome the psychological barrier.

When Fu Shinian came out after his shower, he did not see Su Mu’s figure and thought she had simply gone to the guest room to wash up, so he went straight to bed. After sitting on a plane for more than ten hours and then drinking with Ji Nanfeng for two more, he felt he could fall asleep at any moment.

But Su Mu owed him an explanation, an explanation he had waited half a month for and had yet to receive. Originally, he had admired his own patience, but that all vanished with the new identity Su Mu presented before him today.

Designated driver? What a thought!

It was only after he had dealt with his emails on his phone that Fu Shinian realized Su Mu might not appear at all.

Su Mu had just fallen asleep when the door to the guest room was pushed open, startling her awake. Reflexively, she sat up in bed and saw the silhouette of a person standing in the doorway against the light, feeling anxious would be an understatement.

With a ’click’, the room, which had not been in darkness for long, was restored to the brightness of daylight, allowing Su Mu to see the displeasure on his face.

"What is it?"

Fu Shinian moved closer:

"Mrs. Fu was quite bold at the beginning, surely you haven’t forgotten what you did? I have come to settle the score."

That day, she had slapped him. Fu Shinian’s perfect life had likely never been treated in such a way. How could his authority and pride be questioned and destroyed by someone? Su Mu just couldn’t imagine how he would treat her now.

"What do you want to do?"

Fu Shinian lifted her chin but changed the subject, "Who was it that bent over backward the other day to move me back to the master bedroom from the guest room? What are you doing today, Mrs. Fu? Since you don’t want to share a bed, why did you expend that effort before?"

Su Mu avoided his gaze:

"I think we both need to cool down a bit."

"Half a month hasn’t given you enough time to cool down?" Fu Shinian interrupted her, "Su Mu, you didn’t come to the guest room thinking I would want you, did you? Could you be overestimating yourself? What makes you think that after being caught by Wei Shaoqin for a night, I would still want you?"

Su Mu looked at him:

"I’ve told you, and you’ve checked, what more do you want?"

"Maybe nothing precise happened between you two, but he didn’t take any advantage from you?"

Su Mu stopped short, ultimately choosing silence. Even though her memories were somewhat confused, she still remembered Wei Shaoqin tearing her blouse and seeing her nearly naked body. If that counted as taking advantage, she had nothing to say.

However, Su Mu couldn’t stop thinking that if she were in a normal marriage with Fu Shinian, after experiencing such an incident, would he have reacted differently? Would he have been tenderly protective, patiently comforting, helping her forget that embarrassing memory?

But if is always if, it can’t become reality, like a dream, however beautiful, when you wake, it’s gone.

Su Mu’s silence only added a choking feeling to the already uneasy heart of Fu Shinian, and he felt a growing urge to lose control. He reached out to lift her stubborn chin, his hand trailing down her cheek:

"Where did he touch you?"

Fingertips sliding along her neck, "Here...?"

Resting on her chest, "Or here...?"

The way Fu Shinian was acting suggested that the night would likely end with ’unpleasant’, ’very unpleasant’, or ’extremely unpleasant’. She was exhausted, both physically and mentally, so for this confrontation, she chose to yield.

Lifting the covers and getting out of bed:

"I will go back to the master bedroom now."

Before she could take a step, Fu Shinian grabbed her arm and flung her onto the bed. He looked down on Su Mu, like a king in control of everything:

"Why bother? Even if I, Fu Shinian, am low, I would never seek a woman to accompany me to sleep. Since you like the guest room so much, from now on, rest here, and I will have peace."

Su Mu did not hesitate: "Okay."

Just one word, but it inexplicably ignited Fu Shinian’s rage, which he had to forcefully suppress to prevent it from lashing out at Su Mu.

To avoid losing control, he took several steps back and leaned comfortably against the wall, lighting a cigarette. In a few seconds, Su Mu was enveloped in the tobacco smell. She wanted to cough but suppressed it.

Fu Shinian looked at her for a few seconds:

"Some things I’ve been waiting to hear for half a month, are you certain you won’t say them?"

Su Mu paused for a few seconds and understood his point. Between lies and the truth, she chose the latter. First, she was not good at lying, and second, Fu Shinian always had countless ways to turn her lies into a poor joke:

"As you can see, I am working as a designated driver. I resigned from Jun Yue more than a month ago."

Fu Shinian looked at her:

"With your education and expertise, you could easily find a job similar to Jun Yue. What is it? Tired of office work, or do you want to experience the vicissitudes of life?"

"I just wanted to find a job with relatively more flexibility. Given my mom’s condition right now, I hoped to spend more time with her during the day."

Fu Shinian was silent for a few seconds:

"If you want ample time, you could just stay at home. Why go out to be a designated driver? Are you that short on money?"
