Chapter 574: Chapter 574: A Moment of Happiness, Suddenly a Twist of Fate

Su Mu did not respond to Wen Han’s topic, but simply asked:

"How did Shaoyuan respond to the suggestion I mentioned before about him coming to live at Gui Ning Residence?"

Wen Han looked at Su Mu:

"He had no objections, but I think it might be inconvenient."

"There’s nothing inconvenient. Shinian has also agreed, and the old lady really likes Shaoyuan, not to mention how much Qiqi is looking forward to it, so you don’t need to worry too much." Su Mu glanced at his wristwatch: "It’s almost time for school to let out; since tomorrow is the weekend, I will go to the school later and bring Shaoyuan to Gui Ning Residence. As for his daily necessities, you can have Auntie Li pack them up and send them over."

Wen Han did not speak, but nodded in agreement after a moment:

"Thank you for that."

"I’ve told you, it’s no trouble. It’s getting late, I’ll be leaving first."

When Wen Shaoyuan came to Gui Ning Residence, the happiest person was Qiqi. She was absolutely ecstatic, as if she had won the lottery, and Wen Shaoyuan’s initially dreary mood also slowly brightened because of Qiqi. Fu Shinian sat next to Su Mu and, looking at the two children playing not far away, said softly:

"Do you think with Wen Shaoyuan here, Qiqi won’t squeeze into bed with us at night?"

Su Mu: "..."

Fu Shinian guessed right; when bedtime came, Qiqi came to the master bedroom, took the pillow that was always between the two adults, looked at Fu Shinian with a smile and said, "Dad, you actually wanted me to leave, didn’t you?"

Fu Shinian firmly denied it:

"No, rather you’re now ditching mom and dad for that brat Shaoyuan, and it breaks my heart."

"Really? If that’s the case, then I’ll ask brother Shaoyuan to come sleep with us. After all, the bed is big enough."

Fu Shinian: "..."

Su Mu was almost internally injured by the banter between the father and daughter, but ultimately Qiqi compromised, walked up to Fu Shinian and gently patted his hand, softly saying:

"Actually, I wake up every night, you and dad always leave me behind for a while."

Fu Shinian: "..."

"Even though I don’t know what you guys do, I still feel that you disliked having me around, that’s why you’d readily let Shaoyuan come to stay here, right?" Seeing Fu Shinian’s extremely aggrieved expression, Qiqi comforted him: "Don’t be embarrassed to admit it, I understand you because I also want to spend alone time with my brother Shaoyuan. Please be honest with me, and I won’t keep sticking between you two."

Fu Shinian still refused to admit it:

"Dad didn’t think that, dad really wants you to continue sleeping between me and mom, that’s a promise dad remembers."

"Dad," Qiqi looked at him disapprovingly: "Admitting you’re dependent on your wife isn’t shameful."

Fu Shinian: "... Alright, I admit it, I admit I felt it was a tiny bit inconvenient, just a tiny bit, but I absolutely don’t dislike you, I love you more than I can manage."

Encouraged by Qiqi, Fu Shinian finally admitted his subtle thoughts, but to everyone’s surprise, after Fu Shinian finished speaking, Qiqi suddenly changed her expression, turned around, and walked over to Su Mu, looking very aggrieved:

"Su Mu, did you hear that? Fu Shinian dislikes me."

Fu Shinian: "..."

Su Mu pinched her little face:

"Alright, don’t act too outrageously just because your dad dotes on you. Go play with your brother Shaoyuan, but don’t stay out too late, I’ll be checking."

"Okay." Qiqi tiptoed and kissed Su Mu on the face: "Goodnight, Wood."

"Goodnight."

After saying goodnight to Su Mu, Qiqi was ready to leave, but as she turned back towards the door, she saw Fu Shinian eagerly watching her, seemingly anticipating a goodnight kiss from her too. Qiqi saw this but pretended not to notice and walked right past him.

Fu Shinian had yet to sigh in disappointment when the little one turned back, ran into his arms, and Fu Shinian almost reflexively caught Qiqi in his embrace. The next second, Qiqi planted a sweet kiss on Fu Shinian’s cheek:

"Daddy, I love you."

Fu Shinian kissed back: "Mm-hmm, daddy knows, I love you so much too."

"I know."

Since arriving at Gui Ning Residence, Qiqi had been sleeping between the two of them. Now without Qiqi’s presence in the master bedroom, although Fu Shinian and Su Mu were lying side by side, they felt something was missing. Su Mu spoke first:

"Once the issue with the Wen Family is resolved, let’s bring Qiqi back; I think I’ve gotten used to her being between us."

Fu Shinian responded softly with a slight smile:

"Can’t bear to be apart?"

"Can you bear it?"

"I can’t bear it either." Fu Shinian looked at Su Mu: "When I saw her taking her little pillow and leaving the room just now, I couldn’t help but feel sad. Even though she is just in the room next door, even though she is just a few steps away, it still feels different."

Su Mu turned over to face Fu Shinian:

"So, do you want Qiqi to come back?"

Fu Shinian smiled lightly:

"I respect your opinion, and Qiqi’s wishes."

They didn’t have to work tomorrow, and with Qiqi not there, Fu Shinian inevitably thought of being naughty, but it didn’t happen. Not because he didn’t want to, nor because Su Mu wasn’t cooperative, but they were awakened by a phone call just before getting to it. Initially, he didn’t plan to answer, but as Fu Shinian picked up the phone to turn it off, he saw Ji Nanfeng’s name, frowned slightly, and pressed the answer button:

"Jiang Bei is missing, ask Su Mu if she knows where she went; I can’t reach her."

Ji Nanfeng’s voice held an urgency that no one could ignore, prompting Fu Shinian involuntarily to ask:

"What happened?"

"My mother drugged Jiang Bei’s meal, planning to perform amniocentesis, but Jiang Bei had no appetite today and barely ate. So when my mother told the doctor to proceed, Jiang Bei woke up."

Fu Shinian stood up from the bed and couldn’t help but swear:

"Where the hell were you when this happened?"

"I had no idea, I was on a business trip. It was because I was away that my mother took the opportunity. As soon as I got the news, I returned to Shen City, but Jiang Bei isn’t in the apartment, my mom doesn’t know where she went either; I can’t find her."

Fu Shinian didn’t want to waste any more words with Ji Nanfeng, and he hung up the phone. Su Mu didn’t quite catch their conversation, but seeing Fu Shinian’s expression, she knew it wasn’t anything good. She cautiously asked:

"What’s wrong?"

As Fu Shinian got dressed, he looked at Su Mu with a grave expression:

"Jiang Bei is missing."
