Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Her Anger, Almost Like an Embrace

Su Mu was still very busy, leaving early and returning late, hardly ever seeing Qiqi, but every night when she came back, she would find a little note written by her at the bedside. Sometimes it was to remind herself to eat well; sometimes it was to tell herself to take care of her health. No matter what, she would always add a line beneath:

"Woodhead, Qiqi loves you."

Every time Su Mu saw such a note, all her exhaustion would be washed away, and nothing else could make her feel happier.

During this time, Fu Shinian would pick up Su Mu for her commute, and at first, Su Mu didn’t see the necessity, but Fu Shinian insisted. He even prepared a small blanket in the car so she could catch a little sleep on the way to work. No matter how early or late it was after work, he wouldn’t allow Su Mu to drive because he was worried about her fatigue driving. So, Su Shiyue, the ’traitor,’ came in handy.

Before wrapping up work each time, Fu Shinian would send a message to Su Shiyue, who would mostly come to pick Su Mu up himself. If he really couldn’t make it, he would ask Song Yi to take her home.

The colleagues in the studio went from disbelief at first to gradually getting used to seeing Fu Shinian more and more often. Su Mu didn’t feel these changes had any impact on her; she still went to work, continued to work hard, and kept her early departures and late returns.

A week later, the shooting in Shen City’s studio wrapped up, and it was time to travel to other places for location shooting. Naturally, Fu Shinian was reluctant but didn’t say much. Instead, he personally packed her luggage the night before departure, checked the weather at her destination, and prepared medicine and a range of potentially necessary items.

Su Mu wasn’t a delicate person, so during all these years of traveling, she had never brought along so many things. She found them heavy and bothersome, using the excuse "If anything’s missing, I’ll buy it there" to try to persuade Fu Shinian, but he didn’t agree. He knew too well that Su Mu was a person to make do with what she had, hence, some things were better off being prepared for.

Seeing how hard Su Mu was working, Fu Shinian did indeed feel distressed. Su Shiyue once asked him why not just close the studio and have Su Mu stay at home. That way, they wouldn’t have to live apart, and she could properly take care of Qiqi at home. Fu Shinian smiled and said:

"I would never do that."

Yet, Fu Shinian had to admit that Su Shiyue’s suggestion had indeed crossed his mind, but it was instantly dismissed, and he had thoroughly cast it aside.

Su Mu loved photography, a passion that started from the beginning; her love for it never stopped throughout the marriage, only put on hold for various reasons. Now that she finally had the opportunity to do what she enjoyed and she shone throughout the photography process, her happiness in the past three years, aside from Qiqi, was probably only from photography.

Fu Shinian had no right to deprive her of it.

Moreover, he was unwilling for Su Mu to stay at home as a housewife. She had talent for photography. The role of a housewife might seem easy to others, especially in wealthy families, but Fu Shinian didn’t think so. If she were at home, she would undoubtedly take meticulous care of grandma and Qiqi.

Fu Shinian did not know if such a life would grind away one’s passion, but he dared not take the risk and knew that Su Mu would definitely dislike it.

She had taken care of Qiqi alone for many years, and for the days to come, it was his turn to look after them. She could fly as high as she wanted; he would wait for her, looking up at her from his place.

This business trip was expected to be around ten days. Su Mu had grown accustomed to this lifestyle over the years, but she didn’t know if it was because Qiqi wouldn’t accompany her this time, or perhaps she had developed a sense of belonging to a home, so she found herself feeling an unusual sadness of farewell.

So much so that as Fu Shinian packed her luggage, she just sat on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, listlessly watching him bustle about.

It wasn’t until Fu Shinian almost finished packing, double-checked to make sure everything was included, and zipped up the luggage that he noticed Su Mu’s spirits didn’t seem very high. Frowning slightly, he walked over and asked:

"What’s wrong?"

Su Mu shook her head: "I don’t know why, but I suddenly don’t want to go."

Hearing this, Fu Shinian was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled:

"Do you just miss me?"

Su Mu glanced at him, neither denying nor admitting, but under the circumstances, Fu Shinian took it as a yes, making his smile shine even brighter. He wrapped her in his arms, resting against the couch:

"Should I come with you?"

"No need. If you go, Qiqi will feel sad."

Fu Shinian looked at Su Mu, who lay against his chest, and smiled slightly. He wondered if she realized that her tone conveyed a hope that he would come with her, but she had painfully declined his offer because of Qiqi. Discovering this made Fu Shinian quite happy, but he didn’t show it, just patting her back to comfort her:

"It’s just ten days; it’ll pass in the blink of an eye. Didn’t I also go on a business trip for half a month earlier? We got through that fine, right?"

Su Mu frowned slightly:

"It’s not the same."

"What’s different?"

The feelings are different, the sensations are different.

But this difference, Su Mu couldn’t voice it; speaking up would seem like admitting that she was becoming increasingly unable to resist him. So this so-called sentimental emotion had to be silently digested by herself.

In fact, how could Fu Shinian not understand what Su Mu meant by ’different’? He was the very person involved, someone who constantly cared about Su Mu’s attitude and emotions towards him and could clearly feel the change in her attitude and emotions towards him. But since she was stubbornly not admitting it, Fu Shinian didn’t push her. After all, he also enjoyed these moments that resembled a time of falling in love.

But seeing Su Mu’s downcast emotions, he found it hard to part with her and decided to divert her attention by doing something else.

Lost in her emotions, Su Mu didn’t notice the change in Fu Shinian. So when she was suddenly turned over and pinned down on the sofa by Fu Shinian, she instinctively let out a short cry of surprise, which was soon swallowed up by him.

She was not content to be constantly startled by him, so she couldn’t help but swing her fist at him, but the power of the punches on his back grew weaker and weaker, eventually resting on Fu Shinian’s back, resembling an embrace.
