Chapter 571: Chapter 571: New Identity, The Imperial Sword

After the dinner party, Fu Shinian drove Su Mu and Qiqi back to Gui Ning Residence. After settling Qiqi in the back seat, Wei Shaoqin said goodbye to Qiqi and then pulled Su Mu aside for a private conversation. Seeing this, Fu Shinian didn’t show any particular emotion and got into the car first to accompany Qiqi.

"You have something to say to me?"

Wei Shaoqin nodded: "I haven’t been able to get in touch with Yu Qingzhou these past couple of days. He said he might not return before he left Shen City, is that true?"

Hearing this, Su Mu looked at Wei Shaoqin without speaking. A few seconds later, he slowly smiled:

"Isn’t Yu Qingzhou your friend? Why he left and why he won’t come back, shouldn’t you ask him directly? Why come to me?"

"Do you think I’m a fool, or do you see me as an outsider?" Wei Shaoqin looked at Su Mu with a helpless expression: "I may not look very serious, but I’m also clever, and I do have the ability to judge people and situations."

Su Mu smiled:

"So what?"

"So, does Yu Qingzhou’s departure have anything to do with Su Shiyue? I think even if Yu Qingzhou doesn’t like Su Shiyue, he wouldn’t avoid her to the extent that he’ll never return, right? Did you go to Jiangcheng City this time to deal with something between the two of them?"

Su Mu looked at Wei Shaoqin without speaking. Understanding, Wei Shaoqin raised his eyebrows slightly with a smug expression: "Am I right?"

Su Mu neither confirmed nor denied:

"You don’t need to be curious about this anymore. No matter what, leaving Shen City was Yu Qingzhou’s own decision, and it has nothing to do with any of us."

"It’s not forced by Su Shiyue? She has never been a nice girl, and you’ve experienced her tactics against you before. She’s matured a lot now, are you sure she didn’t resort to any tactics?"

Su Mu looked at Wei Shaoqin helplessly: "No, not at all, and she’s been very depressed about it, locking herself in her room and unwilling to face the reality."

Wei Shaoqin wanted to say more but was interrupted by Su Mu raising his hand:

"Stop asking. Let’s end this matter here. Whether it’s Yu Qingzhou or Su Shiyue, including myself and Fu Shinian, don’t ever bring this matter up again, as if it never happened."

Wei Shaoqin’s seriousness made Wei Shaoqin frown slightly:

"What’s so serious? Don’t tell me it’s a case of lovers turning into siblings."

Su Mu’s expression towards Wei Shaoqin was so complex that he really wanted to hit him. Wei Shaoqin also felt that his joke might have gone too far and raised his hands in surrender:

"Alright, alright, I won’t joke anymore. I’ll listen to you. We will never talk about this matter again, never bring it up again, OK?"

Su Mu didn’t know what else to say and turned away helplessly with a glance at Wei Shaoqin.

On the way back, Su Mu was slightly downcast due to Wei Shaoqin’s words. Thus, he was somewhat perfunctory in response to Qiqi’s enthusiasm. Fu Shinian, on the other hand, talked a lot with Qiqi while driving. It wasn’t until Qiqi started playing with her phone by herself that Fu Shinian had the chance to look at Su Mu through the rearview mirror:

"What did he say?"

"Nothing much, just that I find Wei Shaoqin to be really boring."

Fu Shinian raised his eyebrows slightly and decided not to continue probing.

At 9 in the evening, after putting Qiqi to sleep, Fu Shinian went to Su Mu, who had just come out of the shower and was sitting in front of the vanity applying skincare products. She smiled softly in the mirror at the approaching Fu Shinian until he stood behind her with the intent to lift her up, and only then did Su Mu raise her hand to stop him:

"I’m tired."

"Is fatigue your excuse for not accepting the punishment? Susu, we had an agreement."

Su Mu is not someone who enjoys acting spoiled, and one could even say she has never behaved that way in front of Fu Shinian. That’s just not who she is. But now, if she doesn’t compromise, if she doesn’t find some other way to soften Fu Shinian’s heart, then undoubtedly, she will be the one to suffer.

So, she looked at Fu Shinian, softening her voice, even her gaze revealing a sense of grievance as her hands wound around Fu Shinian’s neck like a cat:

"Punishment is indeed necessary, but no one has specified that it must be served today, right? I can’t run away, what are you afraid of?"

Fu Shinian squinted at her:

"Are you trying to charm me?"

"I thought I was being quite obvious?" Su Mu blinked, "Did I express myself incorrectly?"

"No." Fu Shinian slightly curled the corner of his mouth, "I just think you’re rather counterproductive."

Looking at Fu Shinian, Su Mu suddenly had a not-so-good premonition. Fu Shinian bent down and gently bit her ear, "With you posing like this, it makes me wish to have you right now, do you still think I would mercifully let you go?"

Su Mu could tell that Fu Shinian was serious, so she returned to her usual demeanor, even putting on a threatening air:

"I don’t want it today anyway. My waist is still hurting. If you mess around, I’ll wake up Qiqi. I can’t stop you, but Qiqi is always my trump card, right?"

Fu Shinian was amused by her:

"You really don’t want it?"

"Really." Su Mu looked at him seriously, nodding as if worried he wouldn’t believe her, "I’m not lying to you, my waist really hurts."

Although he hadn’t done anything to her last night, she remembered vividly the ferocity of the night before. Her body had yet to recover, especially with the back and forth between Jiangcheng City and Shen City over the past few days, her body was indeed struggling to cope, particularly her waist, which was in severe pain.

Fu Shinian watched her for a few seconds, sensing that she was not pretending, pulled her up, and led her to sit down on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Just as Su Mu was about to sit down, Fu Shinian spoke softly:

"Lie down, I’ll give you a massage."

Su Mu smiled and obediently lay down on the sofa. Having just found a comfortable position, Fu Shinian’s large hand landed on her waist, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy, so comforting that Su Mu couldn’t help but make a sound. However, considering that Qiqi was sleeping not far away, she clenched her teeth and endured.

"Is this okay?"

"Mhm, it feels good."

Fu Shinian chuckled behind her, his movements steady and gentle.

Su Mu was already exhausted; with Fu Shinian attending to her like this, sleepiness quickly crept up on her, yet she forced herself to stay awake. There were some things she hadn’t yet had the chance to tell Fu Shinian, and although he had not asked, Su Mu felt that didn’t mean he didn’t want to know.

Su Mu turned her head slightly, looking at Fu Shinian, who was focused on massaging her waist. Noticing her gaze, Fu Shinian also looked up and smiled lightly:

"Aren’t you tired? Why aren’t you sleeping?"

"I thought you had something to say to me."

Fu Shinian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Not really."

Su Mu laughed, "Really? Are you sure?"
