Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Two Scars, Returning to You Today

Su Mu looked away as she heard the words. She didn’t deny wanting a cigarette, but even if Fu Shinian hadn’t said anything, she wouldn’t have smoked because Qiqi was awake and might come in at any moment. She didn’t want Qiqi to see her bad side; she wanted to leave only the best for Qiqi and to set a good example for her in front of her.

Yet her heart was filled with unease and restlessness. During emotionally unstable times over the past three years, she would habitually smoke because there was no one to confide in, nor did she wish to. With so many issues to deal with, she couldn’t always handle them emotionally, so she could only resolve it herself. It was just that all her negative emotions today were given by Fu Shinian, and she really wished she could kill him, but she couldn’t.

"You said last night, ’Don’t touch me until you and Wen Han are over.’"

Fu Shinian chuckled lightly.

"I didn’t touch you. Considering my restraint over all these years, if I had touched you last night, you wouldn’t have the strength to be arguing here with me. You’d probably still be in bed."

Su Mu wasn’t a child and naturally understood what he was implying. She felt annoyed in her heart but couldn’t be bothered to argue.

"You are my ex-husband, that’s true, but I have a boyfriend now. Even though he’s not by my side at the moment, I’m not single. If your wife spent a night with another man, Mr. Fu, what would you think?"

Fu Shinian squinted at Su Mu and scoffed:

"That reminded me, it seems my wife has done such a thing too. Although there were reasons, although it was out of desperation, as her husband, I indeed got to taste that bitterness, especially when photos were taken and a huge sum of money was threatened. You haven’t forgotten, have you? The man who initially cuckolded me is precisely your so-called boyfriend now, isn’t he? I already showed mercy by not sending him the photos last night."

"You..."

"Did I say anything wrong?" Fu Shinian chuckled, "Sometimes you have to admit, this world goes around in circles, it’s karma. I guess none of the three of us would have thought that the events of those years would replay in this manner."

Su Mu glared at Fu Shinian and scoffed.

"Are you taking revenge?"

"If I wanted revenge, Wen Han would’ve received the bed photos by now."

Su Mu felt a persistent suffocation in her chest, unable to swallow it down or vent it out, especially when she saw the scar on Fu Shinian’s abdomen, she felt indescribable. Involuntarily, she thought of what Qiao Yu had told her. He said that the Fu Shinian of the past had laid in the hospital for three months, nearly losing his life, with all his injuries taken for her sake.

Even though he later hurt Su Mu in such a manner, she could not deny that Fu Shinian had indeed risked his life to save her. Even if he wasn’t the one who saved her initially, after all those years, he truly became her lifesaver. But when she thought about it, wasn’t Fu Shinian always a lifesaver from years before?

Wen Han indeed snatched her back from the jaws of death and got her to the hospital, but if Fu Shinian hadn’t run into her in the corridor of the hospital, she might have long lost her life.

Fu Shinian saw all the changes in Su Mu’s emotions, especially noticing that her gaze kept falling on his scar. He had a feeling about it in his heart; after all, she was still soft-hearted. Even though she had lost confidence in their feelings and future and didn’t dare to hold any hope.

Fu Shinian took a step forward and stood in front of Su Mu. When she came back to her senses, Fu Shinian had already caught her hand and placed it gently on his abdomen. Su Mu was startled and instinctively wanted to retract her hand but he held it even tighter. She looked up at him angrily, only to see Fu Shinian smiling slightly, then he said,

"Su Mu, you know what kind of person I am. Whether unimportant people live or die has nothing to do with me. Why do you think I took those bullets for you? I don’t believe you don’t understand."

Su Mu was silent for a few seconds, then firmly pulled her hand back from Fu Shinian’s grasp. She stood up and took a few steps towards the windowsill, trying to calm herself down. Fu Shinian watched her silhouette quietly, not pressuring her, and laid down on the bed with a light smile. Just as he was about to say something, Su Mu suddenly spoke up:

"If I return two wounds to you, does that mean we’re even?"

Fu Shinian slightly frowned, not quite catching on before Su Mu turned around, lifted her shirt, and then Fu Shinian clearly saw the long scar on Su Mu’s belly—obviously much bigger than the one on his body. Fu Shinian knew it was from when she gave birth to Qiqi.

He hadn’t known about Su Mu’s premature delivery back then. It wasn’t until after all was settled that he found out she had suffered a premature labor due to a work-related accident, and despite hours of labor, she ultimately opted for a cesarean delivery, particularly because she was insensitive to anesthesia and was nearly fully conscious while enduring that cut. That kind of pain was beyond Fu Shinian’s imagination.

He got up from the bed and walked towards Su Mu, only to be stopped by her raised hand:

"This scar, strictly speaking, has nothing to do with you. The child was one I wanted to give birth to, and my carelessness resulted in the premature delivery. Bearing this cut is the undeniable duty of a mother, but after all, Qiqi is also your child. You bear responsibility for this scar. Even if I owe you one, the remaining one, I’ll return to you now, hoping from now on we can call it even."

After she finished speaking, Su Mu didn’t know where she found a pair of scissors, raised it high, and was about to stab herself when Fu Shinian swiftly stopped her. Otherwise, no one could predict what might have happened. He glared at her with eyes reddened, yelling:

"Have you lost your mind?"

"Yes, I’ve gone crazy, driven crazy by you," Su Mu shot back at him without backing down. "We’re over; how many times must I tell you for you to accept that fact? I don’t love you anymore, I can’t afford you anymore. You gave me trust over and over again, but the result was the same mistakes repeated. I’m fed up with this cycle of hope and disappointment! I can’t take it anymore! I just want to live a quiet life. Why can’t you just let me be? Why must I go when you say go, I must return to your side if you say so? Fu Shinian, you were indeed someone I loved, but you aren’t God, and I’m not your pet. I have flesh and blood, emotions and thoughts, can’t you just respect me a little?"
