Chapter 596: Chapter 596: As Long as You’re Happy

A simple sentence, not even a serious apology, yet Su Mu’s eyes inexplicably reddened. She didn’t look up at Fu Shinian but simply shook her head lightly:

"You did nothing wrong, no need to tell me this."

"It is undoubtedly my fault. Making you sad, making you cry, making Qiqi so heartbroken, it’s all my fault. Fault to an extreme, unpardonable." Fu Shinian’s remorse was clear, and Su Mu could not ignore it: "I know perfectly well that you agreed to Zhou Yaxian to save someone, and I also know that even if you really married Wen Han, you’d divorce as quickly as possible. It was just a temporary solution, I knew it all too well, but still, I couldn’t convince myself to calmly face this. The mere thought of you possibly leaving me was unbearable."

This was possessiveness, Fu Shinian knew. He hadn’t thought it was bad before, so he didn’t change his mind, but today, because of his possessiveness towards Su Mu, the two most important women in his life were hurt. It was his failure.

Su Mu gently placed her hand over his, caressing it softly:

"I really don’t blame you. What happened today was also my fault. I was only focused on saving Zhou Yaxian and completely disregarded your feelings. Actually, putting myself in your position, I can quite understand. If you had to marry someone else to save another person, I couldn’t have accepted it calmly either, I might have left already."

Hearing this, Fu Shinian gave a bitter smile:

"We both care too much about each other, which is why we couldn’t discuss things calmly like we are now, after the event. It’s now that Qiqi is also upset that I realize my problem. It’s my fault. As a man, I should be responsible and support you, and if I can’t offer you strength or share your burdens at your difficult times, then missing to do so is my mistake, yet after everything is resolved I still trouble you."

Fu Shinian stood up and embraced Su Mu tightly:

"Susu, no matter what you say, I handled this matter poorly, I failed to think from your perspective. Even if I did think about it, it was too much from my own subjective view, which led to this situation. I’m very sorry. About Qiqi, don’t worry. Once she calms down tomorrow, we’ll talk to her properly. She is very clever; she will understand what’s real and what’s not."

When mentioning Qiqi, Su Mu looked uncertain; she looked at Fu Shinian:

"Really?"

"Yes." Fu Shinian replied firmly: "Qiqi cares so deeply about you, how could she possibly bear to ignore you forever? What’s happening now is just her throwing a tantrum after hearing what happened. After all, she cares whether you and I are really together. Don’t worry, Qiqi will understand."

"She used to need us to stay with her as she fell asleep. Now she’s so heartbroken, locking herself in her room alone, I really feel heartache and regret. Even if we argue, we shouldn’t have said things like ’acting’. I should have anticipated Qiqi would worry and eavesdrop upstairs, but at that time, I really lost all my reason and just spoke my mind."

"I know, I know," Fu Shinian gently patted Su Mu’s back: "Don’t blame yourself anymore, it’s my fault. If you feel resentful, you can beat me up."

Su Mu was somewhat amused by Fu Shinian’s childish words:

"Why would I hit you?"

"It’s my fault that you lost your reason. If I hadn’t been so infuriating, you wouldn’t have acted the way you did. I know you came to the study to make up, but I inexplicably felt like confronting you head-on. Perhaps only by seeing your distress and sadness did I feel that you didn’t really intend to marry Wen Han, and that you cared about me."

Due to Fu Shinian’s words, Su Mu was silent for a long while, so long that by the time Fu Shinian was about to go check on Qiqi, Su Mu grabbed his hand and slowly said:

"Shinian, let’s remarry."

Fu Shinian never thought he would hear these five words from Su Mu, especially considering the shadows and hurt of marriage all visible and imposed by himself. So naturally, upon hearing this now, Fu Shinian was stunned.

Unresponsive.

Su Mu couldn’t entirely comprehend Fu Shinian’s current feelings, so seeing his reaction, her brow slightly furrowed:

"You don’t want to?"

"Am I crazy?" Fu Shinian responded, "Don’t you know that I’ve dreamt of this? What surprises me is hearing you say it."

After a few seconds of silence, Fu Shinian stepped forward, staring at her without blinking:

"Su Mu, tell me, do you want to remarry because you genuinely want to, or because you think it would comfort Qiqi?"

Frankly, Su Mu hadn’t thought about why she said remarry. She just suddenly remembered the words about remarriage Fu Shinian spoke in the study, which she had refused. Yet just as Fu Shinian was about to turn and leave just moments ago, Su Mu suddenly panicked. Though she knew he wouldn’t leave her, despite knowing it was her overthinking, she still wanted to retain him in some way.

Unable to think of a better way, she chose what Fu Shinian liked best, marriage.

In fact, Su Mu had already seen clearly that whether she liked Fu Shinian in this life or not, the two were inseparable regardless of Qiqi. It had nothing to do with Qiqi, just their entangled emotions. So whether to marry or not didn’t really matter. If marriage could make Fu Shinian happy, feel more secure, and bring more happiness to Qiqi, she felt it was quite worthwhile.

Now facing Fu Shinian’s question, Su Mu answered honestly:

"Both."

Fu Shinian smiled and tucked her stray hair behind her ear:

"Susu, I’ve told you not to worry about Qiqi, I can handle it well. As for remarrying, I want to step into that only when you’re truly free of reservations, truly ready to marry. You compromised too much last time; please don’t do it again."

Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian, unexpectedly he would refuse, especially since it was for her own sake, she couldn’t help but smile:

"Aren’t you afraid that by refusing me now, I’ll never consider remarrying again?"

"It’s okay, as long as you’re happy. Even if we never remarry in our lifetime, it’s fine." Fu Shinian rubbed her hair: "I’m going to check on Qiqi, do you want to come with me?"
