Chapter 601: Chapter 601 Pretending

So, when the elderly lady was about to hit Fu Shinian again and prepared to say something, Su Mu preempted her with an apology. She looked at the elderly lady, full of regret:

"Grandma, it was my fault for not considering Shinian’s feelings from the beginning, and the words I said in the study were also irrational. Initially, we both let anger take the best of us, neglecting Qiqi in the process. In reality, neither of us meant what we said. You’ve seen how we get along; those were not our true feelings, but Qiqi is still young and cannot understand many things."

The elderly lady sighed upon hearing this:

"Susu, you’ve done nothing wrong. In such a situation, anyone would have acted desperately to save a person first."

Having said that, she turned to look at Fu Shinian:

"I’ve always known that you feel insecure with Susu and also possessive, but this hasn’t interfered with Susu’s life or work, so I didn’t bring it up. Moreover, you’ve been getting along well lately. However, why are you confused when it comes to such a significant issue? Others may not have noticed, but don’t you know how Susu feels about you? If she truly wanted to marry Wen Han, would she have called off their engagement in the first place?"

Fu Shinian nodded:

"I know, I was just blinded by anger at that time."

"You’re behaving just like a child. If it weren’t for seeing Qiqi today, I really wouldn’t believe you could do such a thing."

"What Grandma says is right."

Perhaps because Fu Shinian’s apology seemed sincere, the elderly lady did not continue and only sighed:

"How you two resolve your issues is easy, since you never intended to truly separate. But shouldn’t you also make a clear stance? You’re together like this, yet not remarrying—it’s not just about Qiqi seeing this and feeling insecure; it contributed to her big reaction last night. I don’t understand, if you’ve decided to get back together properly, why not remarry?"

At this, Fu Shinian glanced at Su Mu and then firmly grasped her hand, softly saying to the elderly lady:

"There’s no refusal to remarry; it just feels quite good as it is now."

"Do you think Qiqi looks content?" The elderly lady sighed again, "Having spent so much time with this child, this is the first time I’ve seen her so downcast. She has grown up without a father, and at an age when other children are just beginning to understand what a family is, she has already longed for one. It was finally within her reach, and then you made it sound like it was all just an act—I don’t even know what to say to you both."

Maybe the elderly lady was already speechless about their behavior, so she didn’t say anything more and prepared to leave. But at that moment, Su Mu stopped her:

"Grandma, we will remarry."

The elderly lady paused for a moment, then smiled and looked at Su Mu:

"What did you say?"

"We will remarry." Su Mu smiled: "Actually, from the day I moved back in, I felt that I could never part with Fu Shinian in this lifetime. The reason I didn’t remarry before was due to my uncertainty and feeling it unnecessary. However, in either case, it seems I never took Qiqi’s feelings into consideration, and that was my mistake."

Fu Shinian looked at Su Mu:

"Didn’t we already agree last night?"

"We did agree, but this decision I make now has no reluctance at all. I genuinely want to remarry you, not just for Qiqi, but I also want to be your wife again. With such a reason, would you still reject me?"

Fu Shinian’s gaze was deep as he looked at Su Mu, apparently considering the sincerity of her words, but then he realized that Su Mu was not lying, just as she wasn’t lying last night—it’s just that he was too scared to believe it then.

With the realization of this, Fu Shinian smiled slowly:

"It’s what I’ve wished for, how could I refuse?"

The elderly lady also laughed heartily, completely devoid of her previous serious demeanor:

"If he dared to refuse, I would not let him off easily today."

Jiang Bei appeared at this moment at the top of the stairs, and upon hearing the conversation, he smiled faintly: "Congratulations."

Fu Shinian also smiled:

"Thank you."

Having made this decision, Su Mu felt an unprecedented sense of relief. She was silent for a few seconds and then held Fu Shinian’s hand tightly: "Today, after kindergarten, let’s pick up Qiqi together, and then head straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Agreed. Even if Qiqi is still upset, seeing us married will surely alleviate some of her anger."

But was Qiqi really as angry as they imagined? Su Mu and Fu Shinian, as the prime culprits, naturally thought so. At the beginning, Su Shiyue also felt that it wouldn’t be easy to appease their little princess this time. However, shortly after the car left Gui Ning Residence, Su Shiyue completely changed her view.

She looked several times through the rearview mirror at Qiqi, who was playing with her phone, and couldn’t help but ask:

"Qiqi, are you feeling better now?"

"Auntie, my mood has always been quite good."

Su Shiyue: "..."

Perhaps sensing Su Shiyue’s astonishment, Qiqi put down her phone, sat quietly in the child seat, and slightly smiled at Su Shiyue: "Auntie, did you think I would be very, very angry because I didn’t talk to dad and mom just now?"

"Is that not the case?"

"I admit that last night I was very, very angry—angry that they lied to me. But later, I understood that it was just Su Mu not wanting to admit her ongoing feelings for dad, so she fabricated an excuse."

Su Shiyue: "..."

Her intelligence felt devastatingly crushed.

"Maybe they were acting at first, but later it was definitely genuine. But that’s not enough, right? If they don’t get married and they fight like this again in the future, what if Fu Shinian drives Su Mu away again? That’s why I want them to get married."

"..."

"They think I’m angry because they lied to me, so they will surely try very hard to cheer me up. I thought they might take this opportunity to turn the fake into reality, and maybe by the time I get out of school this afternoon, dad and Su Mu will appear together to take me directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married."

Su Shiyue: "...So, your unhappiness is all an act?"

"It wasn’t last night, but this morning it indeed was. I’m in a really good mood—just the thought of them getting married today makes me incredibly happy."

"Are you sure they will really get married?"

"Yeah, because they love me."
