Chapter 372: A Family of Three, He Is a Passing Traveler

"I’m to blame, I should have been watching over my little sister."

Su Mu gave a slight smile and was about to say something when Qiqi, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted,

"Brother Shaoyuan, it’s not your fault."

The adults at the table were amused by the two children and subsequently didn’t pay much attention, after all, on this particular day, Zhou Yaxian was actually more concerned about the relationship between Su Mu and Wen Han than the children.

Before the two of them made their relationship official, there was a lot Zhou Yaxian felt it wasn’t her place to say. But now things were different. She looked at Wen Han and Su Mu with a smile and said,

"Now that Susu and Wen Han are together, and Wen Han has also been transferred back to the city bureau from the military, you should have more time to spend together. But Susu’s studio is in Jiangcheng City, so I think maybe Susu should consider moving her studio to Shen City. That way, you and Wen Han can spend more time together, and I can help you look after the child."

Su Mu didn’t expect Zhou Yaxian to bring this up out of the blue and was slightly surprised. To be honest, she hadn’t given it any thought. One could even say it had never been within her scope of consideration. Although the work of a photographer isn’t tied to a specific location, Su Mu had spent most of her time working in Jiangcheng City in recent years, and had even bought a house there because she wanted to settle down quietly. She hadn’t thought about moving back to Shen City.

Even Wen Han had never mentioned it. After a few seconds of silence, just as Su Mu was about to respond, Wen Han spoke up to interrupt her,

"Mom, why are you saying this? Susu and I have just started dating; nothing is fully settled yet. Isn’t it a bit much to ask Susu to give up the career she’s worked so hard to build in such a short notice?"

Zhou Yaxian clicked her tongue,

"How can it be too much? I’m just thinking about the both of you."

Wen Songyan also frowned slightly,

"Comrade Zhou, are you getting a bit too carefree after retirement? Why are you meddling in things you needn’t worry about? Just be a good grandmother and a full-time housewife. As for Wen Han and Susu’s matters, let them resolve it themselves. Even if the studio is in Jiangcheng City, it’s not a problem. Nowadays, transportation is so convenient; it’s possible to make a round trip in one day, which isn’t bad at all."

Zhou Yaxian fell silent for a few seconds, realizing perhaps she had been too nosy, then she smiled faintly,

"I’m just making a suggestion. Susu, just take it as food for thought and don’t dwell on it too much."

Su Mu smiled slightly and said,

"I haven’t considered this before, but I will. Even if I decide to move, there’s a lot to handle at the studio there, and it’s not something that can be done right away."

"Sure, take your time. There’s no rush."

After the meal, Su Mu, concerned about Qiqi’s mood, did not stay long. Zhou Yaxian and Wen Songyan said a few words before not insisting any further. After all, Su Yimo’s off-state was evident to them. But just before Su Mu left, they each gave her a thick red envelope. Su Mu instinctively refused, but in the end, Wen Han accepted it on her behalf and put it in her bag,

"It’s your first visit as a girlfriend, it’s only proper. Just accept it."

Su Mu knew this was customary, so she did not refuse further,

"Thank you, uncle and aunt."

On the way back, Su Mu and Qiqi sat in the backseat. Qiqi was very quiet, always in Su Mu’s arms, never closing her eyes, but instead incessantly staring out the window at the fleeting scenery, never uttering a word. Su Mu repeatedly touched her forehead. Although it was a bit hot, it wasn’t too bad. Su Mu didn’t understand why she was acting like this.

Even though Wen Han was concerned about Su Mu, he didn’t ignore Qiqi. Looking at her through the rearview mirror, he said,

"Do you want to go straight to the hospital to have it checked out, just to be on the safe side?"

While Su Mu was hesitating, Qiqi suddenly spoke up in a muffled voice, "I don’t want to go to the hospital."

It was rare for her to act this way, and it made Su Mu distressed,

"Let’s not then. It seems like she just has a slight cold. Going back to take a warm bath and having a good night’s sleep should help her recover."

Wen Han nodded and didn’t say anything more.

When the car stopped in front of the apartment building, Wen Han got out of the passenger side first. He opened the back door and held Qiqi in his arms, reaching out to feel her forehead. He wasn’t sure if it was because his body temperature was too low, or Qiqi’s discomfort had worsened, but he felt she was hotter than she was at the Wen Family’s home.

The three of them walked into the apartment together, with no one noticing that not too far behind them, a car blended into the night, and the person inside was watching them intently.

Fu Shinian had arrived early, knowing that during Su Mu’s time in Shen City, she was staying at Jiang Bei’s apartment. But even though he was there, he did not go up. After all, their last encounter had not ended pleasantly, and coupled with the things Xu Yansu had said to him today, his thoughts were still a mess.

But he still wanted to see Su Mu, even just a furtive glimpse. What Fu Shinian hadn’t expected was to see Wen Han with her, Qiqi in his arms, and the trio entering the apartment together. This scene suddenly made Fu Shinian feel somewhat redundant; after all, they looked every bit like the quintessential family of three, while he was just a passerby.

Back at the apartment, Su Mu took Qiqi for a bath without greeting Wen Han, instructing him to lock up when he left. Wen Han acknowledged with a simple,

"Go ahead and take care of things."

Su Mu didn’t pay any more attention to Wen Han, heading to the bathroom with Qiqi. In the bathroom, Qiqi cooperatively undressed and hopped into the warm bathtub. Her cheeks were perhaps reddened from the steam, looking like ripe apples. Cute as it was, Su Mu couldn’t help but worry,

"Qiqi, you need to tell me if you’re feeling uncomfortable, okay?"

Qiqi softly fiddled with the foam floating on the water’s surface and gently nodded, "I know."

Su Mu watched her for a few seconds,

"Now it’s just the two of us at home. Qiqi, do you want to tell me what happened today?"

Qiqi looked up at her with a sincere expression that unexpectedly made Su Mu a bit nervous. She had an idea of what it might be, but still hoped to hear it from Qiqi herself.

After a few seconds of silence, Qiqi finally spoke,

"Su Mu, are you going to marry Uncle Wen?"
