263 Involvement
Seeing that Su Qian was listening to him seriously, Wu Mu took a deep breath and continued, “I know that what I’m about to say might not be appropriate, but I really feel that we should be more tolerant of Qingqing! If she can have a good impression of someone or like someone, we should be happy for her!
“Didn’t you realize that Qingqing is much kinder than before? This is also one of the main reasons why Qingqing returned to the Su family back then. We just want Qingqing to experience the beautiful emotions of this world.”
Wu Mu said a lot intermittently. Although she couldn’t be sure if Su Qing really liked Huo Qi, what was hidden in her words were her most sincere words and blessings to Su Qing.
Su Qian looked at the steak that was still steaming in front of him and sighed faintly. He picked up the knife and fork beside him and started to eat slowly. “I can understand what you’re saying. I’m just unwilling to let Qingqing be taken away by Huo Qi! She’s the darling of our Su family. We haven’t even given her much. How can we let an outsider have her?”
Su Qian took a bite of the steak and felt that it was indeed very good. As expected of what his sister had ordered, it was just tastier than usual.
Wu Mu looked at Su Qian’s aggrieved expression and smiled in amusement. “The two of you just lack communication! Given my understanding of Qingqing, I feel that if you continue to stop them and create a fuss, it will only backfire! Look, what happened just now is an example. Mr. Huo didn’t do anything wrong, but you’ve been looking for trouble. What do you think Qingqing will do?”
If Su Qing was still here, she would probably be very grateful for Wu Mu’s words. Some things were like this. Because the people involved cared about each other, they were trapped. When they couldn’t explain or express themselves well, they might even hurt each other, just like Su Qing and Su Qian last night.
Now that Wu Mu had laid things out, he could understand many things that Su Qing couldn’t express or explain. This was what it meant by the saying, ‘The bystander sees a clearer picture!’
After Wu Mu’s explanation, Su Qian finally understood. He quickly finished the food in front of him and nodded. “Mu Zi, what you said makes sense. I have to think about this matter when I get back! I don’t want to have a cold war with my sister every day, but it’s impossible for me to accept Huo Qi!”
Wu Mu smiled helplessly. She glanced at the empty plate in front of Su Qian and complained with a naughty smile, “You might not accept him, but you didn’t miss a single bite of the lunch he paid for!”
Su Qian froze, and Zhang Ke was stunned. The two of them looked up at Wu Mu at the same time and said loudly, “Did Huo Qi pay for this meal? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
When Wu Mu saw their tacit actions, she couldn’t help but laugh loudly. She pressed her hand on the table and laughed until she was out of breath, but she didn’t forget to comfort them. “Don’t worry! It’s just a meal. I guess Mr. Huo isn’t so petty! Hahaha!”
The petty Mr. Huo followed Su Qing all the way. When the cold wind outside the restaurant blew, he still remembered to put a jacket over Su Qing’s shoulders. When Huo Feng saw this, he turned around and gestured to the person behind him to stay away.
Su Qing turned around and stopped Huo Qi. She wanted to say that there was no need for him to do that, but he still stubbornly put it on for her. It was getting colder, and she was indeed wearing thinner clothes.
She looked up at Huo Qi and sized him up curiously. Seeing that his face was still a little sulky, she asked, “Are you angry?”
Huo Qi sighed and looked into Su Qing’s eyes. He continued sarcastically, “No! But when I’m angered to death by your brothers one day, I’ll get someone to tell you!”
The insufferably arrogant underworld overlord stood in the cold wind and said sourly, but his eyes were filled with indulgence and love for the girl in front of him. He was like a docile lion with its head lowered, looking absolutely adorable.
Su Qing looked at Huo Qi’s awkward and angry expression and smiled lightly. Even she didn’t notice how she was reacting. She looked into Huo Qi’s eyes in a good mood and asked, “Since you were so angry, why didn’t you draw your gun?”
Huo Qi looked at Su Qing’s clear eyes, which had a smile in them, and even a teasing expression.
