Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Caring Doesn’t Necessarily Show

The next day, when Su Mu got up, it was only 8 o’clock, and Jiang Bei was still asleep. She went to bed late last night, and at this moment, Su Mu hoped she could continue to sleep, so she was very careful with her movements.

It was only after she went downstairs that she realized Qiqi and Wen Shaoyuan were already awake, and at this time, in front of the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows, Wen Shaoyuan was reading a storybook to Qiqi, while Fu Shinian was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper. The table was empty, and it was unclear whether the meal was finished or hadn’t started yet.

Sensing Su Mu’s gaze, Fu Shinian put down the newspaper and looked over:

"Why are you up so early?"

"I couldn’t sleep." Su Mu walked over and sat down in a chair beside him, looking quite exhausted. Fu Shinian frowned slightly at this, and seeing it, Aunt Tian, who was nearby, received a knowing look from him and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Fu Shinian moved closer to Su Mu and reached out to stroke her hair:

"If you’re still sleepy, you can go back to your room and sleep a while after breakfast."

"I’m okay." Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian: "Xiaobei told me that she’s planning to divorce."

Fu Shinian responded lightly, seemingly not surprised by this decision, and said:

"With things turning out the way they are now, it seems there is no better outcome than this. It’s not about whether Jiang Bei and Ji Nanfeng are compatible or not. I had my doubts from the beginning, so this ending is within expectations."

Su Mu didn’t speak, her expression thoughtful.

Fu Shinian smiled slightly:

"Weren’t you always hoping for their divorce? Now that Jiang Bei has spoken about her intentions, shouldn’t you feel happy?"

"How can anyone be happy about a divorce?" Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian: "We ourselves have been through divorce. Can we really forget what we both felt at that time?"

Fu Shinian’s expression grew solemn, and he did not speak.

"Time has passed and our feelings for each other have deepened beyond what they were, but the scar of divorce is still there. Even though there wasn’t much love between Jiang Bei and Ji Nanfeng, I believe they didn’t plan on divorcing when they got married; otherwise, Jiang Bei wouldn’t have gotten pregnant, and she wouldn’t be considering divorce just now."

Fu Shinian hadn’t paid much attention to Jiang Bei and Ji Nanfeng’s issues, but right now he was more concerned about what Su Mu had just said. He looked at her intently:

"Are you still bothered by our divorce?"

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head:

"It’s not that I mind, nor do I deliberately think about it. We’re living so well now, those issues will eventually be forgotten. It’s just that when I occasionally remember, I can’t help but feel touched. I’m not blaming you, don’t overthink it."

Fu Shinian held Su Mu’s hand tightly:

"Ultimately, it was my fault."

"You had your reasons. I didn’t understand before, but now I know the whole story. Although it’s hard to accept, if I were you, I probably couldn’t have made a better choice."

Fu Shinian gently kissed the back of Su Mu’s hand:

"Your forgiveness is your magnanimity, but if I were to forget those harms I’ve done to you, that would make me scum."

Su Mu smiled and was about to say something when Aunt Tian brought up the breakfast at that moment, and Su Mu stopped talking. Thinking about it, it was quite good to have Fu Shinian always keeping a sort of guilty conscience towards her; maybe this way, their relationship could remain as it is now forever.

Regarding Jiang Bei’s arrival, the matriarch and the two children were very happy. Even though the old lady knew about Jiang Bei’s situation, she never mentioned a word, only instructing Aunt Tian to take extra care of Jiang Bei, both in life and dietary needs.

Jiang Bei’s accident made Su Mu forget about Zhou Yaxian in the hospital. She forgot that she had promised Zhou Yaxian that she would visit her again today, so when she saw Wen Han’s call that evening, she instantly felt guilty. At that time, Fu Shinian was in the study, and Jiang Bei was watching TV with her in the living room. Noticing her expression, Jiang Bei couldn’t help but ask:

"What’s wrong?"

Su Mu shook her head: "I’ll just take a call."

Answering the phone, Su Mu apologized:

"Sorry, I forgot I promised your mother I’d come over today. How was she today?"

Wen Han was taken aback for a moment:

"She’s fine. You don’t need to feel bad. I just called to ask about the porridge you made for my mother yesterday. She’s been fussing about it all day, rarely wanting to eat something, but she wants the one you made. I tried making it myself, but she said it didn’t taste right."

Su Mu explained how to make the porridge, and after thanking her, Wen Han seemed ready to hang up, but Su Mu spoke:

"Wen Han, if your mother still doesn’t think it’s right, call me, and I’ll make some and bring it to her."

Wen Han said it wasn’t necessary and hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Su Mu then noticed Jiang Bei’s gaze on her. She smiled: "Do you think I shouldn’t make contact with Wen Han?"

"No, I just think you shouldn’t keep in touch with my aunt."

"She’s not in good health."

"I know." Jiang Bei said indifferently: "But even so, what does that have to do with you? Like I said to you last time, if she’s sick, she should go to a doctor. This kind of dependency will eventually lead to trouble. Won’t Fu Shinian mind?"

Su Mu glanced in the direction of the upstairs, smiled, and said:

"He hasn’t shown it yet."

"That doesn’t mean you should get involved in the Wen Family’s affairs just because Fu Shinian appears to approve. No man can tolerate his woman being entangled with an ex-boyfriend, especially since you and Wen Han were engaged, even if it was fake; it was still a real step taken."

"I haven’t really done anything, and I tell him every time I go."

"What other choice does he have besides agreeing? If he doesn’t agree, you’ll be unhappy, and you’ll think he’s petty. Even if you go, he will ultimately be uncomfortable about it; as you said, he hasn’t shown it yet, but that doesn’t mean he won’t ever. Seeing your relationship so good now, I don’t want it to be ruined because of the Wen Family."

Jiang Bei looked at the TV screen:

"Every family has its own burdens and hardships to bear. You can’t take care of everything, and you’re already doing your utmost by bringing Xiaobei over here from the Wen Family. Don’t create trouble for yourself, or you’ll regret it. Although she is my aunt, I do hope she gets better, but this can’t be based on dependency on you. Such a recovery is not truly a recovery."

Su Mu smiled faintly and didn’t say anything more, her gaze drifting upstairswards. Could it be as Jiang Bei said, that he does care but doesn’t want to show it?

But if that were really the case, then his acting skills are indeed quite good.
