Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Missing the Past, Keeping Hair Long

Fu Shinian lifted his eyes to look over, his gaze shifting slowly from her face to her arm, then frowned, dropped the documents in his hand, and strode over:

"Aren’t you supposed to be careful? Is this what you meant by saying you could handle it yourself?"

Su Mu was somewhat stunned, and after coming to her senses, she carefully withdrew her arm that Fu Shinian had touched: "It’s just a little, it’s nothing."

Fu Shinian felt her distancing herself, and for no reason, a fire ignited in him, but he suppressed it, because blowing up at this time wasn’t rational, not good for anyone. He let out a sigh, forcibly pulled Su Mu by the hand to sit down beside the bed, and just as Su Mu opened her mouth to say something, Fu Shinian stopped her with a somewhat heavy tone:

"Shut up."

Su Mu looked at him, and stopped talking.

Fu Shinian didn’t look at her, but carefully untied the bandage on her arm little by little, as if worried she might feel pain. He was very cautious throughout the process, even blowing on the wound as he unwrapped, as if that could relieve Su Mu’s discomfort. Su Mu watched Fu Shinian’s actions and couldn’t help but smile; this was a side of Fu Shinian she had never dared to hope for in front of her.

Sensing her gaze, Fu Shinian lifted his eyes for a glance, his expression indifferent, and then lowered his head again and resumed unwrapping the bandage.

Su Mu’s wound was already in the healing phase, the minor cuts had scabbed over, only the larger wound from the stitches was recovering slowly. Just now, it had been touched by water, causing some whitening around the wound, and Fu Shinian slightly furrowed his brow:

"Wait here, I’ll get the medicine box."

He returned quickly, then kneeled in front of her, carefully applying the medicine. Su Mu, seeing Fu Shinian like this, couldn’t help but want to talk to him, so she spoke up:

"The situation with Jiang Bei isn’t looking good."

It seemed Fu Shinian hadn’t expected her to speak at this time, as he glanced at her: "What happened?"

"There are signs of miscarriage. She was in a very bad mood today, seems even thinner than the last few days, not talking much to me. The doctor mentioned symptoms of mild depression. If this continues, the baby might be in jeopardy."

Fu Shinian didn’t have much of a reaction, said lightly:

"Did Ji Nanfeng also go?"

"How did you know?"

"Jiang Bei has been staying at Ji Nanfeng’s villa recently, if she went for a check-up, naturally Nanfeng would know."

Su Mu nodded: "He did go, seems to be in disbelief about the results, he even went to ask Qiao Yu."

With the medicine applied, Fu Shinian again carefully wrapped her arm with a new layer of gauze. While winding it slowly, he spoke softly, "Now that Ji Nanfeng is aware, he will definitely take it seriously. No matter what, the child is his, he will not ignore the situation. Don’t worry."

"I am worried."

Fu Shinian glanced at her, didn’t say a word, and used adhesive tape to secure the bandage, then started to pack the medicine box:

"What can you do even if you are worried? If I’m not mistaken, you’ve already suggested to Jiang Bei that you should move back to the apartment with her to keep her company, right? She must have rejected it."

If Su Mu wasn’t certain that the man before her hadn’t been present at the time, she might really think he had eavesdropped on her conversation with Jiang Bei, after all, his guess was spot on.

After organizing the medicine box, Fu Shinian turned around, but when he saw Su Mu’s still-dripping hair, resignedly went back to the bathroom to fetch a towel and a hairdryer, stood in front of her, and gently began to wipe her hair. Su Mu had never imagined that one day Fu Shinian would do such things for her, she paused before remembering to refuse:

"I can do it myself."

"Don’t move." He stopped her, "Didn’t you used to like doing this for me? Now that I’m doing this for you, are you not used to it? Or do you inherently like serving people?"

Su Mu looked at him with slight dissatisfaction and stopped talking. Fu Shinian noticed and let out a faint smile, then continued the task in hand. It wasn’t until warm air flowed from his fingertips, stirring her hair, that Su Mu shivered slightly. Fu Shinian noticed but simply smiled and spoke:

"I remember you once said you liked the feel of my hair, but back then I didn’t understand and never did it for you. It’s only at this moment that I realize it indeed feels quite nice."

Su Mu still didn’t speak, at a loss for words. She didn’t like this going back over the past with him; although the memories had their good moments, most of them were unpleasant, so Su Mu didn’t want to dwell on them. Fu Shinian didn’t continue either, just sighed:

"I wonder when you will dry my hair again."

This time, until Su Mu’s hair was completely dry, neither of them spoke again, silent yet warm.

After drying her hair, Fu Shinian put away the hairdryer, and as he was about to leave, Su Mu finally spoke softly:

"I heard from Ji Nanfeng that you’ve already taught Qiao Na a lesson?"

Fu Shinian uttered an acknowledgment but didn’t immediately reply. After placing the hairdryer back in its spot in the bathroom and returning to the bedroom, he then spoke:

"Yes, she deserved it. Since she provoked me, I had to deal with her. This way you can be at ease, at least she won’t trouble Jiang Bei anymore."

"How did you do it?"

Fu Shinian looked at her, silent for a few seconds: "You want to know?"

"Yes, I want to know."

"Worried I went too far?"

Su Mu shook her head: "I don’t know Qiao Na, but from the few encounters, I also know she is not a kind person. I don’t have the spare sympathy or pity for her. Everyone chooses their own path, and since she chose this one, she must have been prepared for the consequences."

"If you’re simply worried about Jiang Bei, there’s no need. She won’t have another opportunity to go there." Fu Shinian sat down beside Su Mu, raised his hand to touch her hair: "Ji Nanfeng and Qiao Na originally met in a place of ill-repute. Me teaching her a lesson and sending her back there is already showing mercy."

"She won’t come out?"

Fu Shinian smiled faintly: "She’s in Rong Shen’s territory."

Su Mu understood then. If she wasn’t mistaken, when delivering the person over, Fu Shinian must have spoken to Rong Shen about what Qiao Na had planned to do to Jiang Bei. Regardless of the extent of Rong Shen’s concern for Jiang Bei, he would surely discipline Qiao Na, and definitely not allow her to harm Jiang Bei again.

With no danger to Jiang Bei, Su Mu’s mind eased. She smiled softly, and Fu Shinian, sensing her smile, felt a tenderness in his heart:

"You’re relieved now?"

"Yes, I’m relieved. I hope Ji Nanfeng will understand and treat Jiang Bei well in the days to come."

Fu Shinian didn’t respond, but incessantly stroked Su Mu’s short hair. After a while, he spoke softly: "Susu, let your hair grow out."
