Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Father and Daughter Join Forces, Compromise is the Only Option

Su Mu didn’t accept the offer:

"You haven’t rested well these past few days, so there’s no need to send me off. I’ll drive your car and let you know once I get home."

"Do you think I’d be at ease?"

Su Mu smiled slightly, "Do you think I would be at ease letting you drive back alone while fatigued?"

"I am a man."

"Yes, you are a man, and men are supposed to be invincible and never fall, right?" Su Mu smiled faintly, "Besides, with Auntie and Shaoyuan’s situation, the house can’t be left unattended. Don’t worry them. I’ve slept for so long, I’ll be fine."

Seeing Su Mu’s persistence, Wen Han didn’t force the issue and nodded slightly:

"Then, I’ll go get your car keys."

"Okay."

Wen Han came back quickly, handed the car keys to Su Mu but was still worried, "Are you sure you don’t need me to take you?"

Su Mu smiled gently:

"Really, it’s not necessary."

Saying that, she walked toward the car, with Wen Han following behind her. As she was opening the car door, Wen Han suddenly pulled her back into his embrace. She stiffened for a moment before relaxing, and gave a slight smile:

"Don’t worry, I’ll call you when I pick up Qiqi. You should rest early too, don’t make me worry."

Wen Han said nothing but planted a soft kiss on Su Mu’s forehead. She was momentarily startled before she reacted with a small smile:

"So... I’m leaving now?"

"Mm, be careful on the road."

Worried about Qiqi, Su Mu didn’t slow her speed on the way. It started raining later, and for safety, she slowed down a bit. Normally it took nearly an hour from the Military Region Compound to Bishui Yuntian, but this time she made it in half that time, even in such adverse weather.

Fu Shinian was the one who opened the door. Seeing Su Mu alone, especially with her clothes drenched, he frowned slightly:

"Did you come by car yourself?"

"Otherwise?" Su Mu gave Fu Shinian a puzzled look, took off her shoes, and without even bothering with slippers, walked straight into the living room. What she hadn’t anticipated was that Qiqi showed no sign of fear at all. Dressed in her pajamas, Qiqi was sitting on the living room carpet, happily playing with building blocks and watching cartoons on the TV.

Fu Shinian coughed lightly from behind Su Mu. Qiqi then turned her head to look, and upon seeing Su Mu, she smiled:

"Mu Mu, you’re here?"

It was just a simple greeting. She didn’t run over to be hugged, nor did she show any previous emotions of missing her. It was completely different from her demeanor over the phone earlier. Su Mu couldn’t help but suspect something and slowly turned her gaze to Fu Shinian:

"What’s going on here?"

Fu Shinian didn’t hide anything and sat down next to Qiqi, beginning to build blocks with her:

"What do you think? Whatever happened at the Wen Family has concluded. I’ve already spent an afternoon with them, which is my bottom line. But what time is it now? It’s after 10 pm, you still haven’t shown a sign of returning. Are you planning to spend the night at the Wen Family’s?"

"Did you have Qiqi call me on purpose?"

Fu Shinian smiled slightly, looking up at Su Mu:

"It wasn’t on purpose. Qiqi really did miss you."

Then he looked at Qiqi, "Right, Qiqi?"

"Mm," Qiqi nodded in agreement, then turned back to Su Mu, "Mu Mu, Qiqi really missed you."

In front of Qiqi, Su Mu couldn’t say anything too harsh, but she really couldn’t agree with Fu Shinian using Qiqi this way. With a snort, too lazy to argue further, she walked towards Qiqi, intending to pick her up. However, Fu Shinian was one step ahead, scooping Qiqi onto his lap and looked at Su Mu:

"What are you doing?"

"I came here to take Qiqi home. It’s late, and she should be sleeping. We won’t trouble you anymore."

"It’s pouring rain outside. How will you leave?"

Su Mu knew what Fu Shinian was up to and smiled faintly, "If I could come here, naturally, I can get back. What? You think it’s unsafe to go back? In that case, why don’t you drive us home?"

"Aren’t you afraid something will happen to me?"

"Curses like you last a thousand years; you’ll be fine."

Fu Shinian grunted lightly, "I’ll take that as a blessing then."

Caught between the two’s banter without feeling unhappy, Qiqi seemed rather excited. Su Mu glanced at the time; it was already past ten. She hadn’t taken care of Qiqi for a few days, and her living habits were already disrupted by Fu Shinian. It seemed better to minimize contact in the future:

"Qiqi, it’s time to go home."

Qiqi glanced at Fu Shinian but did not get off his lap. Instead, blinking innocent eyes at Su Mu, she said:

"Mu Mu, Fu Shinian is right. It’s raining hard outside, and there’s thunder and lightning. It’ll be unsafe for us to go back. Since there are so many rooms here, why don’t we just sleep here for the night and go home with you tomorrow?"

Su Mu wasn’t able to discern whether these words were Qiqi’s own thoughts or coached by Fu Shinian, but either way, Su Mu would not stay over for the night. First, she instinctively disliked this house, and secondly, Fu Shinian was still here. Moreover, she had promised Wen Han that she would call him once she got home; if she stayed at Fu Shinian’s tonight, she would have let Wen Han down.

"Are you sure you want to stay here?"

Qiqi nodded, "It’s so late, I’m scared to go back."

Su Mu didn’t force Qiqi and smiled slightly as she rose, "If that’s the case, then you should rest early. I’ll come to pick you up first thing in the morning. I’m leaving now."

"Su Mu."

Hearing this, Fu Shinian let go of Qiqi and stood up, catching her hand as she was about to leave:

"Will this house eat you up? Are you so reluctant to stay here?"

"Don’t you know the reason why I won’t stay here?" Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian, "I promised Wen Han that I would call him once I got home, to video chat and reassure him. I am his girlfriend now, and after all that has happened to him, if I were to spend the night here at your place, what would that make me?"

Seeing Su Mu’s determined stance, Fu Shinian knew she would not stay the night no matter what and smiled slightly:

"In that case, I’ll take you and your daughter back."

Su Mu eyed Fu Shinian skeptically, not believing for a second that he would be so kind. That look made Fu Shinian chuckle, "Do you see me as a thief to guard against?"

"I know how to guard against a thief, but against you, I really can’t guard enough."

"Since you know it, don’t think about how to avoid me. You know you can’t."

Saying that, he squatted down to meet the gaze of Qiqi who was watching them, and smiled slightly, "Shall we accompany Mommy home together?"

Though Qiqi was reluctant, Fu Shinian had spoken, and what more could she say? She nodded faintly, "Okay."
