Chapter 514: Chapter 514: All the Grievances, He’s Protecting You

Fu Shinian glanced at the time and indeed there wasn’t much left, so he did not insist:

"Then I’ll give you a call this afternoon, and we’ll go pick up Qiqi together."

Su Mu nodded: "Okay."

After Fu Shinian left, Su Mu turned back to look at Qiao Yu, only to realize he had been watching her with an amused look. Su Mu wasn’t the least bit embarrassed and smiled as well, then couldn’t help but ask: "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Qiao Yu shook his head:

"Nothing much to say. I’m just really happy to see you and Shinian getting along so well now."

Su Mu fell silent for a few seconds:

"I never thought I’d be able to get along with him like this."

"There were too many misunderstandings between you two, and they can’t be clearly explained in just one or two sentences. But fortunately, no matter what, after going around in circles, you’ve come back to each other’s sides. Honestly, I was really worried before. I was afraid that after Shinian settled all his matters, there would be no chance for you to turn back. Later, when you were with Wen Han, I was even more convinced of that. I thought he would end up lonely for the rest of his life. After all, he never thought of finding another one after leaving you. But heaven still looks after Shinian. As a friend, I’m truly happy to see the current situation."

Su Mu smiled but didn’t speak. Watching her for a moment, Qiao Yu said:

"Have you not fully accepted Shinian yet?"

Su Mu was slightly stunned, but admitted after a moment:

"Yes, we’ve agreed that we’re together now only for Qiqi. I can’t say clearly whether the hesitation is due to fear or simply because there is no such intention anymore."

"I understand you."

Su Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly not believing him, and Qiao Yu laughed softly:

"What? You don’t think I can?"

"It’s not that you can’t, I just think you’d look at things more from his perspective."

"That’s not wrong, but it doesn’t mean I’ll ignore your feelings." Qiao Yu stood up and poured a cup of hot water for Su Mu, placing it in front of her: "At first, we all didn’t quite understand why you insisted on marrying Fu Shinian. Later, when we learned the reason, we also realized how much Shinian’s previous misunderstandings hurt you. But even then, he was still protective of you."

Su Mu looked at Qiao Yu and remained silent, while he smiled:

"Shinian might not have a sharp tongue and a soft heart, but he is very protective. As long as it’s his people, he can’t stand others bullying them. Do you remember when you were on your way back to Bishui Yuntian and Fu Shiyue arranged for someone to drag you into the woods? Do you know what happened to that person later? He had both his arms broken and became disabled—it was something Shinian had ordered."

Su Mu was stunned.

"And about Fu Shiyue, Shinian didn’t let her off easy either. He went to her apartment that same night to teach her a lesson. But unfortunately, she didn’t learn and attempted to harm you again. That’s when Shinian got really mad. Ignoring the brother-sister relationship, he sent her abroad directly. And there’s Wei Shaoqin... when he had feelings for you and kidnapped you, although Fu Shinian didn’t directly hit him, he did strike Wei’s business hard; so much so that Wei Shaoqin even came to beg for mercy."

"Every time someone bullied you, Shinian was the first one to stand up for you. He just never let you know. Of course, part of this might have nothing to do with affection; it could be just for his own pride. But no matter what, he’s always been protective of you."

"Now you two have been apart for more than three years, you’ve changed, and he’s changed too. I can tell from his attitude and behavior towards you. Maybe he is still that decisive and ruthless Fu Shinian, but he can no longer be so tough on you. You are his Achilles’ heel. After losing you for three years, now that he has found you again, he wants to pamper you properly."

Su Mu took a while to digest Qiao Yu’s words:

"I never knew any of this."

"He wouldn’t tell you these things." Qiao Yu sat back down in his own seat: "Even those incidents from three years ago, he ordered me not to tell you. He said that no matter what the reasons were, the fact that you were hurt is true, and there are no excuses. But I can’t bear to see you two like this, so that day in the hospital, I still told you."

"Whether you and Shinian are putting on an act now, I don’t think it’s so important. You don’t need to force yourself into that framework. Anyway, whether it’s an act or not, you two still need to live together for Qiqi’s sake. Take it easy; maybe you’ll discover something different."

Su Mu knew what Qiao Yu was talking about and smiled gently: "Are you saying that I might accept Fu Shinian again from the bottom of my heart?"

"It’s only a matter of time."

Qiao Yu was certain of this. Su Mu smiled and didn’t say anything, then after a moment, the office door was knocked on. A nurse came in saying that a patient needed Qiao Yu’s attention. Su Mu also prepared to leave and wait for Jiang Bei in the lobby. Qiao Yu left first, but before stepping out of the office, he still turned back to look at Su Mu:

"If it’s convenient, please let me know about Jiang Bei’s situation."

Su Mu nodded: "Okay."

Su Mu had not been in the lobby long before Jiang Bei arrived, and she didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Jiang Bei had lost even more weight in just a few days. Before Su Mu could voice her concern and reprimand, Jiang Bei stopped her and looked at Su Mu’s arm:

"Are you feeling better?"

"Don’t worry about me. It’s just a flesh wound; how bad can it get? But how could you lose so much weight in just a few days? Haven’t you been taking care of yourself?"

Jiang Bei smiled:

"Yes, I have, but the kid has been making a fuss these past few days, and I haven’t been able to eat much."

Su Mu wanted to say something, but Ji Nanfeng walked in from the lobby entrance, and she was surprised:

"Why would he come?"

Jiang Bei smiled:

"After all, he’s the child’s father. Why can’t he come?"

"Have you been with him these past few days?"

Jiang Bei nodded: "Yes, I went back to the villa."

Under normal circumstances, this should have been happy news—going back would mean that the couple had reconciled, but seeing Jiang Bei’s condition, Su Mu couldn’t feel happy for her. If it were truly good news, she wouldn’t look so haggard now.

Ji Nanfeng approached, and upon seeing Su Mu, his gaze slowly fell on her arm:

"Is your injury better?"

Because of Jiang Bei, Su Mu found it difficult to be pleasant to him. Upon hearing him, she just hummed lightly: "There’s no need for Mr. Ji to be concerned."

Knowing Ji Nanfeng’s temperament, having heard Su Mu not giving him face like that, he would normally have made a sarcastic remark to embarrass her. But today he just smiled and continued:

"Shinian has taught Qiao Na a lesson; consider it payback. But you are the victim. If you’re not satisfied, you can take it out on me, I won’t blame you for whatever you do."

Su Mu looked at him: "You and Qiao Na are involved, but after all, it wasn’t you who hurt me. It wouldn’t be right to take my anger out on you."
