Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Innocent and Cheerful, Pure Fondness

The old lady couldn’t help but wonder:

"Why can’t it be realized? It seems to me the two children have a good relationship, and it won’t change in the future."

Qiqi raised her hand to interject:

"I’m going to marry Brother Yuan, and I want to be his wife."

Su Mu looked at her daughter with utter helplessness: "Aren’t you embarrassed?"

Wen Shaoyuan, however, smiled gently and wiped away the rice grains at the corner of Qiqi’s mouth, then looked at Su Mu: "Aunt Su, I like Qiqi just the way she is."

Su Mu: "..."

Had she been force-fed a mouthful of dog food by a child?

Although Fu Shinian also thought Wen Shaoyuan was a fine kid, since he and Qiqi had only been acquainted for a short time, he wished Qiqi could stay by his side for her whole life. But the presence of Wen Shaoyuan was undoubtedly reminding him that Qiqi would not be with him forever and would eventually belong to someone else, even if Wen Shaoyuan wasn’t the one, it would be someone else.

This made Fu Shinian struggle to remain calm, so he didn’t care whether Wen Shaoyuan was just a child or not, he directly retorted:

"What does it matter if you like her? Ultimately, you and Qiqi cannot get married."

Wen Shaoyuan looked at Fu Shinian, not saying a word, completely composed.

Fu Shinian said:

"If your father and Qiqi’s mother are together, you two would be siblings. How could siblings marry each other?"

Fu Shinian’s words reminded the old lady, who couldn’t help but frown:

"I actually forgot about that."

Hearing this, Wen Shaoyuan remained unfazed, but Qiqi became anxious: "No, I want to marry Brother Yuan."

She said, looking pitifully at Su Mu, her expression clearly accusing her for being with Wen Shaoyuan’s father. Su Mu suddenly understood why she had defected to Fu Shinian’s side – was Fu Shinian using this reason to scare Qiqi?

She couldn’t help but glare at Fu Shinian, but he looked completely innocent:

"What I said isn’t true?"

"Of course it’s not true." Wen Shaoyuan spoke up: "Whether my father and Aunt Su marry or not, Qiqi and I have no blood relation, so we can get married. This way, we are only adding closeness to closeness."

Fu Shinian narrowed his eyes slightly, while Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh and reached out to touch Wen Shaoyuan’s hair:

"Shaoyuan, do you like Qiqi?"

Wen Shaoyuan nodded earnestly:

"I do like her a lot, and I want to be with her."

What do 8 or 9-year-old children really understand about liking or not liking? But Wen Shaoyuan’s earnest appearance somehow gave Su Mu a feeling of belief – perhaps it was precisely because they didn’t understand that their feelings seemed so exceptionally precious?

Su Mu was still immersed in this pure beauty when Fu Shinian broke the silence, looking straight at Wen Shaoyuan and spoke without mercy:

"Like? How old are you, do you even know what it means to like?"

Wen Shaoyuan didn’t seem angry at all, he looked at Fu Shinian and smiled slightly:

"Of course I know. I don’t like others touching my hair, but Qiqi can. I don’t like other kids touching my things, but it doesn’t matter if Qiqi breaks them, or takes them away. She can stomp around on my bed with her shoes on, and I won’t think of it as making trouble but actually find her very cute. She likes to eat vegetables, I don’t, but if she says eating them is good for health, I start forcing myself to eat them. I think that’s what liking is."

Fu Shinian: "..."

Su Mu: "..."

The old lady was at first stunned by Wen Shaoyuan’s words, then held back her laughter, but eventually, seeing the dumbfounded looks on Fu Shinian and Su Mu’s faces, she couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter. She pointed to Wen Shaoyuan and couldn’t help but praise him:

"I see that Xiaoyuan really treats Qiqi well. Though the kids are still young and a lot can change in the future, I still think Xiaoyuan is worth entrusting Qiqi to for a lifetime."

Fu Shinian, coming back to his senses, looked at the old lady:

"Grandmother, that’s a matter so far in the future, let’s not talk about it. I want Qiqi to stay with me for a few more years."

The old lady let out a long sigh:

"Yes, them growing up is a distant matter. I’m afraid I won’t see it."

Her words cast a somber mood over the table. Fu Shinian started to speak, but the old lady stopped him:

"Don’t try to comfort me with sweet words. I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve walked paths; what don’t I understand that needs your explanation? I have been prepared to leave for a long time now. Don’t any of you be sad. Everyone has their day for birth, aging, sickness, and death. I’m already considered to have lived a long life."

But as content as she might have been, there were still things she couldn’t let go of, her gaze on the two children filled with fondness and affection:

"Now, my greatest wish is to see Qiqi all the time, to watch her grow up day by day, that would be the happiest thing for me."

Su Mu knew that the old lady was just feeling momentarily sentimental, and these words were not really meant for her, but hearing them still made her uncomfortable. After all, at the old lady’s age, the greatest joy was indeed doting on grandchildren, but because of her and Fu Shinian’s affair, it had become hard for her to enjoy this happiness.

After some thought, she decided to tell the old lady what she hadn’t planned on telling Fu Shinian:

"Grandma, don’t be sad. Qiqi and I have decided to move from Jiangcheng City back to Shen City. When that happens, you can see Qiqi every day. I’ll let her stay here for a few days often, okay?"

As soon as this statement came out, not only the old lady, but also Fu Shinian was taken aback. He obviously couldn’t believe what he had heard, and looked at Su Mu to ask:

"What did you say?"

Su Mu ignored him and didn’t even glance his way, but the old lady grabbed Su Mu’s hand, her eyes reddening with emotion:

"Susu, are you telling the truth? You’re not lying to Grandma?"

Su Mu smiled faintly and shook her head:

"Grandma, I’m not lying. This is really what I’m planning. Jiangcheng City may be more convenient for my work, but Qiqi’s friends and my friends are all here, and ultimately we can’t be separated. Besides, Qiqi is of age to attend kindergarten now, and if I get busy with work, I might not be able to make time for her. It’s better to come back, where we have more people to look after one another."

Only then did the old lady believe her, she wiped her eyes and nodded:

"Good, good... Rest assured, as long as I am here, I definitely won’t let Qiqi be wronged, and I won’t let her be neglected because you are busy. I will take very good care of her."

Su Mu smiled faintly, naturally trusting the old lady’s fondness for Qiqi.

Actually, aside from the old lady and Fu Shinian, there was another person at the dinner table who was also very happy, and that was Wen Shaoyuan. He heard this news for the first time and, looking at Qiqi, he smiled slightly and whispered:

"Qiqi, we don’t have to be apart anymore."
