Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Share the Blessings, Face the Challenges Together
Wen Han had not yet responded to Qiqi’s reaction when Wen Shaoyuan shielded Qiqi behind him. He looked at Qiqi with a serious expression on his face and said, "Qiqi, have you forgotten what I’ve told you before? Kids can’t lie or deceive others."
Qiqi pouted with a look of grievance:
"I haven’t forgotten. I was just afraid Uncle Wen would hit you, and that would hurt me."
Su Shiyue: "..."
This pair of children, even as an adult she had no confidence she could surpass them. Such ’love’, even she was somewhat envious.
Although Qiqi telling a lie was not something Su Mu liked to see, she ultimately did not blame Qiqi. She actually thought it was rather good, seeing it as a kind of responsibility, a willingness to share both fortunes and hardships, especially when it’s for protecting someone else. Su Mu not only did not feel angry but instead felt a bit of pride because of Qiqi’s behavior just now.
Wen Han looked at the two children, wearily pinched his brow, and lifted Qiqi onto his lap. He looked at Qiqi with the same affection as before and smiled slightly:
"Qiqi, I will not punish you."
Qiqi looked at Wen Han with pure eyes:
"What about Brother Yuan? Will you still punish him?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Han’s gaze fell back on Wen Shaoyuan’s face. The latter looked indifferent, which slowly softened Wen Han’s heart. In fact, after Su Mu had spoken as she did just now, he had no intention of continuing to blame Wen Shaoyuan. After all, Wen Shaoyuan was not an ordinary child. He was precocious and intelligent, understanding many principles and possessing delicate thoughts. Therefore, an occasional accident was nothing to worry about.
"I won’t," Wen Han looked at Qiqi. "I won’t punish Shaoyuan either, as long as from now on he no longer does things that cause concern. Let’s put today’s matter behind us."
Qiqi happily climbed down from Wen Han’s legs and took Wen Shaoyuan’s hand:
"Brother Yuan, hurry and promise Uncle Wen that you won’t do this again. If you want to see me next time, just tell me. I’ll come to you directly, even if Mu and Fu Shinian forbid it, I’ll still come. They won’t dare to do anything to me."
Su Mu frowned slightly:
"Qiqi."
Qiqi stuck out her tongue and then winked at Su Mu, a gesture full of insinuation, as if to negotiate with Su Mu, saying ’I don’t mean that at all, I’m just comforting Brother Yuan’, Su Mu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
Wen Shaoyuan glanced at Wen Han, then looked at Qiqi: "Qiqi, I’ve already said those words at the very start."
Qiqi frowned:
"Then promise one more time. It doesn’t hurt to say it again."
Wen Shaoyuan’s cold lips warmed up slightly because of Qiqi’s words, he smiled faintly and faced Wen Han seriously again: "Dad, I will not do it again in the future."
"Alright." Wen Han did not trouble Wen Shaoyuan, perhaps just to save face for him in front of Qiqi, but no matter what, the matter was finally turned over.
No longer mentioning the distressing incident, the atmosphere at the meal became joyful and harmonious. Although there was some unspoken awkwardness between Su Mu and Wen Han, thankfully there was Qiqi, the treasure who kept the mood lively. Towards the end of the meal, Su Shiyue took the initiative to suggest taking Wen Shaoyuan and Qiqi out to play, leaving space for Su Mu and Wen Han.
Su Mu initially had no intention to speak alone with Wen Han, but she was not averse to it either. After watching Su Shiyue and the children leave, she smiled faintly, without saying a word. Wen Han had already spoken:
"How have you been recently?"
Su Mu nodded:
"Very good."
"And how are you with him?" Su Mu looked at Wen Han but didn’t immediately speak. Wen Han smiled: "You two are back together, aren’t you?"
Su Mu remained silent.
Wen Han also fell silent, seemingly unsure of what to say at this moment. He started to feel an uneasy restlessness in his heart, the urge to smoke rising, but when he got the cigarette in hand, he still managed to control himself not to light it. He glanced at Su Mu:
"Even though I knew you and Fu Shinian would eventually get together, I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. I feel a bit guilty."
Wen Han looked at Su Mu:
"Sometimes I think, if it weren’t for my insistence on trying to be with you, perhaps you would have had an easier few months, maybe you wouldn’t have been so entangled to get together with Fu Shinian, it is I who delayed you."
Su Mu gently curved her lips:
"Maybe it has been too long since we last met, I can’t tell whether what you’re saying now is sincere, or if it’s sarcasm."
"Which do you think it is?"
Su Mu shook her head: "Either is fine, I don’t really care."
Wen Han chuckled:
"Anyway, seeing you getting better and better, I’m relieved, after all, nothing is more important than that."
"How about you?" Su Mu looked at him: "How are you doing?"
"Pretty good."
"You seem to have lost some weight."
"Really?" Wen Han laughed: "I don’t have to go to the front line after changing my job, and everyone says I’ve gained some weight. Only you say I lost some."
Su Mu looked at him quietly, hesitated for a few seconds before finally speaking:
"I met Ji Qingluan the other day. She told me your mother’s health wasn’t good. How is she now?"
Wen Han seemed taken aback that Su Mu would bring up his mother. After a momentary pause, he smiled:
"It’s fine, she’s much better now."
Su Mu believed that Wen Han was not telling her the truth, but the fact was that she herself was not keen to hear the truth. What Zhou Yaxian had said to her that night, the things she did behind her back, although there was nothing wrong from her perspective, Su Mu felt somewhat cold just thinking about it; the current polite inquiries were just that:
"I’m glad to hear that."
Su Shiyue with Qiqi and Wen Shaoyuan had not gone far. There was a children’s play area in the hotel, and Su Shiyue let the two of them go in and play while she sat on a nearby bench and watched them. However, her thoughts gradually drifted. After thinking for a while, she still sent Fu Shinian a WeChat message:
"Bro, when are you coming back?"
Fu Shinian’s reply arrived after five minutes: "Just got off the plane."
"Sister-in-law is having dinner with Wen Han."
A few seconds later, Fu Shinian’s phone call came through. Su Shiyue looked at it, suddenly regretting a bit, but still answered:
"Bro."
"Are you with Su Mu?"
"Yes, sister-in-law brought me here, along with Qiqi and Wen Shaoyuan."
Fu Shinian hummed in response over the phone, then asked Su Shiyue:
"Although you and Su Mu are getting along well now, do you think you’re to the point where she includes you when she goes out to eat?"
Su Shiyue paused: "No."
"Then why did she bring you along?"
Fu Shinian’s question made Su Shiyue feel like she had woken up from a dream.
