Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Current State, Walking Slowly
In the end, Qiqi of course still followed Fu Shiyue. She couldn’t resist missing her father. Before leaving, she tightly hugged Su Mu and told her:
"Tomorrow you must, must come, if you don’t come, I’ll ask dad to look for you."
Su Mu also smiled:
"Okay, what I promised you, I will do."
After Qiqi left with Fu Shiyue, Su Mu stood where she was, watching her car disappear from her sight before she started to walk away. However, she suddenly lost the desire to return home. Being alone at home, she decided to visit Jiang Bei, made a phone call to Jiang Bei, and Ji Nanfeng picked it up, saying:
"It’s fine, come over."
Jiang Bei is now living in her previous apartment, but differing from before, Ji Nanfeng has also moved in. When Su Mu arrived, it was Ji Nanfeng who opened the door, wearing an apron, seemingly cooking. This was the first time Su Mu saw Ji Nanfeng in such a domestic state, even for a few seconds she thought she went to the wrong door, until Ji Nanfeng also embarrassingly smiled:
"Come in."
Su Mu looked at him skeptically:
"You’re cooking?"
"What? You think I can’t?"
"It’s not that, I just didn’t expect you to have this skill." Su Mu looked at him seriously: "Are you sure the food you cook is edible?"
Ji Nanfeng’s expression was very helpless, but he eventually didn’t say anything, just directly pointed toward the bedroom and said: "Xiaobei is inside, you go ahead."
Su Mu nodded, stepping forward.
Jiang Bei clearly knew about Su Mu’s arrival; sitting by the bed, she looked somewhat bewilderedly out the window. Hearing the noise at the bedroom door, she turned her head and smiled faintly at Su Mu: "You’re here? Come sit."
Su Mu put down her bag, walked over, and sat beside her, gently holding her hand. Thankfully, it wasn’t the coldness from a few days ago; at least it was warm now. Su Mu smiled:
"These last few days your complexion has improved a lot, but it seems like you haven’t gained weight, still no appetite?"
"I have eaten a lot already."
"That doesn’t make sense, you are not someone whose weight doesn’t change regardless of how much you eat. Now being pregnant and getting thinner must mean you are not eating well." Su Mu looked at her, smiled faintly: "I see Ji Nanfeng cooking in the kitchen; don’t tell me he has been taking care of your diet this while?"
Jiang Bei looked at Su Mu for a few seconds and nodded faintly:
"Yes, he comes often."
"Living here?"
"I didn’t agree, he comes over to cook for me when he’s free, but usually, it is the maid."
Su Mu nodded:
"This is the first time I’ve seen Ji Nanfeng like this. I never imagined it before."
Jiang Bei obviously didn’t want to talk more about this topic, smiled faintly, and asked Su Mu: "How about you? How have you been?"
"Pretty good, I might be busy starting from tomorrow, because of the injury I had accumulated a lot of work, now that my arm is healed, I should finish all those pending tasks." Su Mu looked at Jiang Bei: "But rest assured, I will still make time to visit you, work isn’t as important as you are."
Jiang Bei also smiled:
"You don’t need to worry about me, you can see I am slowly getting better, I still hope you make a good living, maybe in the future you can provide for me and my daughter."
"You don’t need to worry about that, even if I close my studio now, I will take good care of you and your daughter. I am fully capable of ensuring you two won’t end up on the street."
The two chatted a bit more when Ji Nanfeng knocked and entered, his tone containing a trace of carefulness hard to detect, he looked at Jiang Bei:
"Dinner is ready, should I bring it in?"
Jiang Bei did not look at Ji Nanfeng, but she responded to him:
"No need, I’ll eat out."
Su Mu felt there was some tension between them but said nothing. Hearing Jiang Bei wanted to eat out, she got up and helped Jiang Bei up, Jiang Bei smiled and looked at Su Mu: "You don’t need to be so nervous about me, I’m not that frail."
"Still, better to be safe than sorry."
When they walked out of the bedroom, Ji Nanfeng had already set the dishes on the dining table and was standing in the dining area taking off his apron, placing it casually on the back of a chair, quietly waiting for Jiang Bei. As Jiang Bei approached, he pulled out a chair for her. Jiang Bei saw it, but she didn’t sit, Su Mu silently for two seconds, swiftly pulled out another chair for Jiang Bei.
Su Mu’s gaze sneakily glanced at Ji Nanfeng; his face showed obvious discontent and a visible restrain, he closed his eyes, ultimately suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and forced a smile, although the smile didn’t reach his heart, he said:
"The food is ready, eat well, I have to leave for a bit, don’t worry about cleaning, I’ll come back later to tidy up."
Jiang Bei lowered her eyes to eat, ignoring his words. Ji Nanfeng waited for a while, realizing Jiang Bei wouldn’t respond, hooked the corner of his lips, and directly left. Su Mu watched Ji Nanfeng leave without turning back, sighed faintly, then pulled a chair to sit opposite Jiang Bei:
"Has it been like this between you two recently?"
Jiang Bei paused her eating movements, then nodded: "Yes, it’s quite good."
"I can see Ji Nanfeng’s change; he is truly trying to get closer to you, to show you his good side."
Jiang Bei’s mouth corners revealed a mocking smile, but she said nothing, just looked up at Su Mu: "Aren’t you eating? It tastes quite good."
Su Mu shook her head:
"I had already eaten before coming, with Wen Han."
"You still meet?"
"There’s no reason we can’t meet." Su Mu smiled: "Though lots have happened, in the end, Wen Han and I didn’t harm each other, being normal friends now is also good."
Jiang Bei nodded:
"Hopefully Fu Shinian won’t be jealous."
"Let him be jealous, I’m not his anyway."
Jiang Bei looked at Su Mu and slowly smiled.
Until Su Mu left, she never brought up Ji Nanfeng again, because it was clear Jiang Bei didn’t want to talk about it, and she could feel that although their relationship was a bit better now, it was still stagnant. Nobody had the standing to persuade Jiang Bei ’to accept Ji Nanfeng’s kindness since they are not divorcing’, because no one truly experienced the pain Jiang Bei had endured.
Su Mu couldn’t and wouldn’t say; she believed Jiang Bei would take responsibility for herself and her child. Perhaps this is a transition, but maybe also a turning point. Nobody can predict; they can only take one step at a time.
