Chapter 76: Chapter 76: If She is There, Why Can’t I Go

When Song Yi entered the office, Fu Shinian was leaning back in his chair exhaustedly, pinching the bridge of his nose. Song Yi even began to breathe more softly and stepped forward:

"Mr. Fu."

"Hmm." Fu Shinian responded softly and resumed his usual demeanor, looking at Song Yi, "Cancel all my schedules for the next two days, I need to take a trip to the movie city."

"Alright." Song Yi couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief for the whole company, that this state of high tension was finally, finally going to end.

Fu Shinian said no more, and Song Yi dared not leave, so they just stood there in silence for a while until Fu Shinian’s cellphone rang. He picked it up and glanced at it, furrowing his brows slightly—if Song Yi was not mistaken, amongst that fleeting impatience, there was also a mix of disappointment.

Could it be that Mr. Fu was waiting for a call?

"Nianwan." When Mr. Fu spoke softly, Song Yi quietly slipped out.

Listening to Qin Nianwan’s words, Fu Shinian stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The city’s night was different from its hurried day, possessing a bewitching magic, like a seductive sprite. He watched the myriad lights below, his mood gradually calming down, until a voice from the other end of the phone said:

"I saw Mrs. Fu today."

Fu Shinian’s motion of massaging his brow paused, and after a few seconds, as if he couldn’t believe what he had heard:

"Who?"

"Your wife, Su Mu." Qin Nianwan sensitively detected something: "When I saw her, I thought you had arrived early. But seeing your reaction, it seems you didn’t know she was here too. Did you guys have a fight?"

Fu Shinian remained silent.

Qin Nianwan continued, "It seems Mrs. Fu didn’t come alone; besides our group member Sun Raorao, there was another man. I asked Sun Raorao, and that man is named Wei Shaoqin. Do you know him?"

Fu Shinian’s impatience was ready to burst:

"Why are you telling me this?"

"No reason, just didn’t want you to be kept in the dark. When you were cold to me before, I thought it was because there was some affection between you and Su Mu. But now it seems, even if you are not attentive to her, she has no lack of other men by her side." Qin Nianwan laughed softly, "I don’t understand, why do you insist on continuing such a meaningless marriage?"

Fu Shinian spoke indifferently:

"It’s none of your business."

Qin Nianwan was probably angered, silent for a few seconds, but she still calmed herself down and asked:

"Since Mrs. Fu is here, are you still coming over tomorrow?"

"Qin Nianwan," Fu Shinian said softly, "Am I doing something disgraceful with you? She is there, why can’t I go?"

——

Maybe it was because of the change in location, but Su Mu nearly had insomnia all night. In the morning, Wei Shaoqin startled her when he called her to come for breakfast:

"Is your room haunted or something? Why have you turned into such a ghostly figure?"

Su Mu lazily glanced at him, "I want to go back."

Wei Shaoqin: "...Fu Shinian is coming over, and you want to go back now?"

Besides, he would not allow Su Mu to leave, as there was still a drama to unfold soon, and without her, it couldn’t happen.

"I never wanted to come in the first place. Yesterday, I was just in a bad mood, so I listened to your words."

"Does that mean I deceived you yesterday?"

Su Mu did not respond, but that was indeed the case. She wanted to see Fu Shinian; she could have just gone home. Why bother to come all this way to see him visiting Qin Nianwan’s workplace? It made it seem like she was worried he was doing something wrong to her.

She could even imagine how coldly and mockingly Fu Shinian would have treated her had he seen her here. Since returning home on her own and staying put resulted in the same outcome, why should she bother doing this?

Seeing her firm stance, Wei Shaoqin realized it wasn’t just a casual statement, and thus, he reluctantly went along with her:

"Alright, shall we head back home after we eat?"

After all, any delay was a good delay.

During breakfast, Sun Raorao was nowhere to be seen, which spared her the painful sight of her and Wei Shaoqin together. Perhaps for this reason, Su Mu’s appetite was much better than the day before. Seeing her mood gradually improving, Wei Shaoqin asked her a few questions:

"How long have you known Fu Shinian?"

Su Mu lazily glanced at him but didn’t speak.

"Did you know Fu Shinian longer, or Qin Nianwan?"

Su Mu:"..."

"Is Fu Shinian nicer to you, or to Qin Nianwan?"

Great, three questions in and Su Mu’s appetite was completely ruined. She put down her soup spoon and coldly looked at him:

"Wei Shaoqin, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

"What am I doing on purpose?" Wei Shaoqin looked innocent "Isn’t this just knowing the enemy and knowing yourself? If you want to make things work with Fu Shinian and become Mrs. Fu, then you can’t do it without my help. I’m offering my help for free, why are you still so unfriendly to me?"

Su Mu: "I don’t need you."

"You had that attitude when I was chasing you, and you still have the same attitude now that I’m not, so what’s the point of me backing off?" Wei Shaoqin looked at her pleadingly "If I knew it would be the same either way, I might as well..."

Might as well have taken care of you.

Wei Shaoqin didn’t finish that thought aloud. Previously, he spoke without any inhibition, but today was unlike any other day; now Su Mu was his friend, his buddy, and harboring inappropriate thoughts about one’s own brother was something he would despise himself for.

Initially, Su Mu didn’t believe Wei Shaoqin’s words that they had become friends, but after interacting for the past few days, it seemed that he indeed hadn’t spoken any of those excessive words and was staying within the boundaries of friendship.

But even as friends, that didn’t mean Su Mu had to tell him everything, especially since his probationary period hadn’t even ended yet, let alone confirm their friendship.

Su Mu ignored him and got up from her seat:

"I’m done eating, let’s go."

The two left the hotel, and as Su Mu walked towards the parking lot, Wei Shaoqin stopped her and handed her the car keys:

"Wait for me in the parking lot; I’ll accompany Raorao to the drama set and be back soon."

Su Mu frowned: "What are you doing at the drama set?"

"Of course, I’m there to show support. Even if I didn’t finance this show, Wei Corp is still a big name in film production. What production crew can guarantee they’ll never cooperate with Wei Corp? They wouldn’t dare not to give me face; they’ll definitely take good care of Raorao."

Su Mu wanted to say more but spotted Sun Raorao slowly pulling up to the hotel entrance and waving at her. She sighed softly:

"Then hurry up, I’ll wait for you in the car."

"Absolutely, I’ll just make a quick appearance."

Su Mu then walked towards the parking lot, while Wei Shaoqin looked at Su Mu’s departing figure and smiled faintly before directly getting into Sun Raorao’s car. By now, Sun Raorao had already lost her smile and looked at Wei Shaoqin anxiously:

"Do we really have to do this?"
