Chapter 450: Chapter 450: What You Can Offer, I No Longer Desire

Su Mu took the opportunity when he temporarily left her side, casually pulling down a coat from the wardrobe to drape over her shoulders. Although it was hardly adequate, it was far better than just a towel. Fu Shinian sat there, silently watching Su Mu on her guard against him, without moving or speaking. Just as Su Mu clenched her teeth, thinking about stepping out, Fu Shinian lifted his hand to glance at his watch:

"Qiqi has been asleep for almost an hour now. According to her daily routine, she’ll wake up in half an hour. We don’t have much time left."

This statement made Su Mu’s heart sink. She ran towards the door without a second thought, but just as she was about to reach the bedroom door, Fu Shinian blocked her way once again. This time he didn’t speak to her as before, but instead, with a twist of his body, he flung her onto the large bed behind them.

The force was so strong that when Su Mu fell onto the bed, she bounced slightly, causing her head to start spinning. However, she didn’t have time to care about that. She knew Fu Shinian too well - he meant what he said, and now, like a fish on the chopping block, it was very likely she could no longer escape today...

It was her own weakness, time and again, that indulged Fu Shinian’s closeness. Initially, it was all for Qiqi’s sake, but she had overlooked the fact that to her, Fu Shinian was a wolf who would devour her without leaving a single bone behind, if she wasn’t careful. Yet as long as there was a sliver of hope, Su Mu would not surrender without a fight. So she tried to flee, but she had just barely managed to turn over when Fu Shinian completely overwhelmed her.

His entire body’s weight was on Su Mu, and she couldn’t escape no matter what. No matter how much she fought or cursed, he remained unmoved. Eventually, he seemed to lose patience, pinning Su Mu’s hands above her head, and through gritted teeth, he said:

"Try struggling again? I didn’t actually plan on taking you tonight, but if you keep provoking me like this, I can’t guarantee what will happen."

His words calmed Su Mu down. She looked at Fu Shinian doubtfully, and with a light snort, he said, "Why have you stopped moving?"

Su Mu’s eyes had reddened, but she stubbornly turned her face away, not wanting to let Fu Shinian see:

"Let me go."

Fu Shinian too felt a pang of compassion, but if he didn’t resort to some measures, Su Mu’s heart might remain closed off:

"Su Mu, I know you can’t accept this way, but your heart is already dead. No matter what I say or do, you will never trust me again. But I’m not going to let you leave me just like that. The life you want, I won’t talk about giving it to you anymore. I will build it for you little by little. But all this requires you to be by my side. You’ll only be able to see it if you’re with me. Tell me, other than forcing you, is there any other way for you to come back to me?"

"Before you do all that..." Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian with sadness, "do you want to ask if I still want those promises you once made to me?"

"I know your nature, all you seek is peace, and I can give that to you."

Su Mu gave a cold laugh:

"You can give it to me? But have you ever looked back to see what you’ve brought me over the years? By your side, I’ve never been at peace. I did have expectations of you in the past, but that’s all long gone. If it weren’t for your constant presence, bringing troubles into my life, I would already have the peace I desire, and I wouldn’t need you to create it for me."

Fu Shinian looked at Su Mu, silent for a few seconds, then after a moment, he let her go and lay down beside her:

"So you’re saying you want to marry Wen Han? Are you sure he can give you that?"

Su Mu got up from the bed, straightened her clothes, and sat on the edge: "I didn’t say that."

"But for Qiqi’s sake, sooner or later you’ll want to find someone. Would you rather it be Wen Han than me?"

Su Mu softly chuckled:

"Not necessarily. There are many single moms out there taking care of their children by themselves, not all of them need to remarry."

"You could give Qiqi a happy family to live in."

"Qiqi could have had that from birth, but she didn’t. She’s accustomed to our lives now. As for what you’re talking about, it would be great if I met someone; if not, I guess I’ll just have to accept that. I will do my best to give Qiqi the best. Even without a father in her life, you can see I’m taking good care of her."

Fu Shinian said nothing more, just lay there quietly. Su Mu didn’t continue to argue either. She got up and went to change clothes in the walk-in closet. When she came out, Qiqi was already awake, playing games with Fu Shinian on the bed. Su Mu heard Qiqi asking:

"Fu Shinian, why are you in Mu’s room? Are you going to sleep together tonight?"

Hearing this, Fu Shinian smiled slightly, his gaze drifting past Qiqi to the Su Mu standing behind her: "I’d like to, but I’m afraid your Mu would kick me out."

"Mu is very gentle."

"Hmm." Fu Shinian nodded, "I admit that Mu used to be gentle, but now, she’s only gentle with you. I can’t seem to find the old Su Mu anymore."

Qiqi looked at Fu Shinian in puzzlement:

"Why would Mu change then?"

"I bullied her, and all her changes now are merely self-protection."

Qiqi was about to say something more to Fu Shinian, but Su Mu interrupted: "Qiqi."

Qiqi turned to see Su Mu, giving a slight smile. Su Mu walked over and took Qiqi into her arms, speaking to Fu Shinian, who was still on the bed:

"I’m going out later. You can take Qiqi back to your place."

Qiqi, snuggled in Su Mu’s arms, looked at her: "Mu, where are you going?"

"To the studio, I have work to do. You behave at home, and call me if you need anything."

Fu Shinian stood up, watching Su Mu from the side of the bed: "You’ve been tired all day, why don’t you rest at home for a while?"

Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian as if she were looking at an idiot. She was also planning to rest; after he left, her intention to take a bath was to take a nap. She had already arranged with Lin Ning to go over tomorrow. But after what had just happened, even now that Qiqi had woken up, Su Mu no longer felt like sleeping. In a space shared with Fu Shinian, she would feel suffocated.

Rather than tormenting each other here, it was better to deal with the studio’s affairs early. The sooner they finished, the sooner she could return to Shen City.

Fu Shinian, sensing Su Mu’s gaze, smiled faintly without pressing her. With a slight smile, he said, "Okay, I won’t say anymore. You go. I’ll take good care of Qiqi when she’s with me at home. Don’t worry."

Su Mu indeed had no worries. She gave a few warnings to Qiqi before leaving. Fu Shinian sighed helplessly watching Su Mu’s departing figure, contemplating the long and winding road of chasing after his wife.
