Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Some Things Can’t Be Delayed Anymore

Fu Shinian’s steps halted at Su Mu’s words; he turned his head to glance at the nearby water cooler, smiled faintly, and walked over to pour her a cup of water. Only then did he approach her and place the cup of just-right-temperature water by her hand. Seeing this, Su Mu said:

"Thank you."

Fu Shinian still did not speak, simply watching Su Mu with a smile in his eyes.

Su Mu was deeply focused on her drawing, and only when she casually picked up the cup to drink did she realize something was amiss. Almost instantly, she turned her head, expecting to see ’Lin Ning’ beside her, only to find Fu Shinian. She was startled for a few seconds, and then smiled lightly:

"Why did you come over?"

"Hmm, I wasn’t busy this afternoon, so I wanted to come and see you."

He then walked around the desk to sit opposite Su Mu, casually picking up a book on composition to flip through. As he was a layman, he couldn’t grasp its essence, appearing somewhat disinterested. Su Mu watched Fu Shinian, sipping her water, until he lost interest in the book and turned to gaze out the window. That’s when Su Mu slowly spoke:

"Are you worried because of Shiyue’s issue?"

Fu Shinian looked at Su Mu, not denying it: "Yes."

"You came here because you have a question for me."

"Yes."

"What do you want to know?"

Fu Shinian smiled faintly: "I only have one question—is the person Shiyue likes Yu Qingzhou?"

Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian and didn’t speak. A few seconds later, Fu Shinian chuckled:

"It seems it’s true."

"Is there a problem with that person? Is Shiyue not allowed to like him?"

Fu Shinian didn’t know how to explain this to Su Mu for a moment and simply gave a bitter laugh, standing up to walk toward the floor-to-ceiling window. Although Su Mu didn’t sense any issue, seeing Fu Shinian like this, she also knew it wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface. She put down her cup and went to stand shoulder to shoulder with Fu Shinian, looking at him sideways:

"You can talk to me about it."

Fu Shinian uttered a ’Hmm’ but stayed silent for a long time, his expression contemplative, as if he didn’t know where to start. Su Mu did not press him, waiting quietly.

"Lin Ning must have told you about her meeting with Yu Qingzhou, right?"

"Yes, she mentioned it once." Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian: "She said the first time she met Yu Qingzhou was with you, to see Shi Lihua."

"Yes, that was also the first time Shiyue and Yu Qingzhou met. Before that, Yu Qingzhou had always been aware of Shiyue’s existence, but Shiyue herself did not know that there was a Yu Qingzhou in the world."

Although Fu Shinian hadn’t yet come to the point, Su Mu already had a bad feeling.

"I never told you about Shi Lihua. She didn’t like my father, and their being together was due to her having no choice. My father gave her plenty of freedom after their marriage, a freedom that turned him into a laughingstock throughout Jiangcheng City, but he didn’t care. He always felt that he owed Shi Lihua."

"Shi Lihua lived a promiscuous life for a while, only to seriously study medicine later after reuniting with her first love and learning he was ill and wouldn’t live much longer. So it was during that time that I gained a sister."

Su Mu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, no sound came out. She had already guessed the outcome of the situation when she saw Fu Shinian’s difficulty earlier, but speculation is one thing, and hearing it from Fu Shinian’s own lips is another:

"Yu Qingzhou is the child of that first love, right?"

"Yes, so that means Yu Qingzhou and Su Shiyue are siblings, and there can’t be anything between them," Fu Shinian said with a self-mocking smile. "Originally, I intended for them to recognize each other, but Yu Qingzhou said he didn’t want to disturb Shiyue’s life, knowing that she has a good life with the Fu family was enough for him. But who would have expected this outcome? If I had known earlier, perhaps Yu Qingzhou wouldn’t have made such a choice."

Su Mu fell silent for a moment:

"What about now? Shiyue’s feelings for Yu Qingzhou don’t seem to be just talk, she has truly fallen for him."

"Yes, so she hasn’t disappeared these last few days, she has gone to Jiangcheng City with Yu Qingzhou." Fu Shinian turned to look at Su Mu. "I originally wanted to ask Song Yi to send people to bring her back, but now I’ve changed my mind. I want to go there myself, some things are better ended sooner rather than dragged on."

Su Mu took his hand:

"I’ll go with you."

Fu Shinian smiled slightly: "Alright, let’s go together. But don’t you have work to take care of?"

"Even if I do, it doesn’t matter. I don’t want you to face all this alone. Besides, even after you talk to Shiyue, she might not be able to accept it. She tends to listen to me more, so I can help to talk to her as well."

Fu Shinian gently hugged her:

"Okay, let’s go."

"What about Qiqi...?"

"Let’s leave her with Wei Shaoqin, he’s Qiqi’s father too, isn’t he?"

Su Mu smiled faintly: "Alright, I’ll call him now."

Su Mu called Wei Shaoqin, who agreed without asking for any reasons, repeatedly assuring her that he would take good care of Qiqi, and even advised them to spend a few more days outside and not rush back so quickly. Without giving Su Mu a chance to respond, he hung up the phone.

Wei Shaoqin’s voice was so loud that Fu Shinian naturally heard his words too. He smiled subtly, but didn’t comment. After Su Mu made some arrangements for the studio, Fu Shinian drove them straight to Jiangcheng City.

Su Mu didn’t really agree with Fu Shinian driving himself, although he had assured her he was fine, Su Mu still didn’t allow it. Fu Shinian didn’t want to upset her over such a trivial matter, so he called for Song Yi. As a result, they set off half an hour later than their planned schedule.

Perhaps knowing that the things they would have to face in Jiangcheng City were not simple, there was not much conversation between Su Mu and Fu Shinian on the way. However, Fu Shinian’s hand was always holding Su Mu’s, and he never let go from start to finish. At 5 p.m., when they were close to arriving at Jiangcheng City, Fu Shinian’s phone suddenly rang.

Su Mu had just fallen asleep at that moment; the sudden ringtone made her subconsciously straighten up from Fu Shinian’s shoulder. Fu Shinian patted her hand gently:

"It’s nothing. It’s a call from Wei Shaoqin, probably Qiqi calling."

After calming Su Mu’s brief anxiety, Fu Shinian answered the call. His guess was not wrong; it indeed was Qiqi. She expressed her dissatisfaction with the two of them leaving without saying goodbye, but she also very much supported them having time as a couple, and highly praised Wei Shaoqin for taking good care of her. Hearing this, Fu Shinian listened with a curve of joy in his brows:

"Qiqi, be good. We’ll find a time to go to the resort village when we come back."

On hearing this, Qiqi exclaimed in surprise: "Really? Can I go with Yuan-gege too?"

Fu Shinian felt a pang of jealousy that Qiqi could never forget her childhood sweetheart, but considering he indeed had left without any notice, he agreed: "Of course, we’ll go together."
