Being pitied by others isn’t truly pitiable. But being pitied by your own son, that’s the real tragedy.
Fu Shihan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, and after giving a few words of advice, instructing him not to upset Su Wanxin, he hung up the phone.
Su Wanxin went upstairs after a while, and Yangyang was still lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, showing no signs of wanting to sleep.
Su Wanxin got into bed and held him, her mind wandering away as she thought about things.
Just a moment ago, she had chatted with her parents downstairs, and their stance was quite firm—they did not want her to have too much interaction with Fu Shihan.
Su Wanxin felt a bit depressed at the moment. It wasn’t that she was angry, but the pressure felt immense.
She managed to coax Yangyang to sleep, but she herself was wide awake. Holding her phone, she browsed through the news for a while. She wanted to chat with Fu Shihan, but considering he would be busy at this time, she held back.
Moreover, she needed to sort out her emotions and thoughts properly.
Going behind her parents’ back and secretly dating an ex-boyfriend made her feel both guilty and uneasy.
Hua Country.
It had been two to three months since Su Wanxin returned, and after causing a series of big news, she went back to the Empire for a vacation, which was annoying.
Her name had appeared in the news several times, so it was impossible for some people not to know of her.
Your Province.
Mu Xinghan, after being uncontactable in the mountains for several days, finally returned to modern life. Upon seeing news about Su Wanxin, his expression darkened.
Mu Suyu had helped Su Yao take Su Wanxin away back then, and aside from throwing a fit, Mu Xinghan was helpless because he couldn’t find her.
He knew Su Wanxin was not dead because if she had been, Fu Shihan would have reacted. But he hadn’t expected her to come back, and to return to Fu Shihan’s side once again.
Mu Xinghan scoffed as he stared at the content on his phone screen.
This girl really doesn’t get it, wasting others’ efforts. What’s so good about Fu Shihan that she keeps risking her life for him?
He bought a plane ticket and headed straight for the Imperial Capital. Knowing that Su Wanxin had already left and wouldn’t return until after the new year, he made a complex call.
Fine, after the new year then. Let her have a peaceful and good new year, and then, he would go and claim his dues.
After all, he had saved her life. If she continues this way, it would be difficult for him.
...
Ever since Su Wanxin left, Fu Shihan had continuously felt a sense of crisis.
Different time zones, calculating the best times to make a call. Moreover, since Su Wanxin returned home, her attitude towards him had noticeably cooled down.
He was afraid that the Su Family had brainwashed Su Wanxin, and that she would break up with him. But now that she had already left, there wasn’t much he could do; surely he couldn’t really chase her home, right?
If he did, there was no doubt, he would definitely be driven out—a bit of self-awareness Fu Shihan still possessed.
"President Fu, this is tomorrow’s schedule. Please take a look,"
Fu Shihan’s rumination was interrupted by his secretary. Slightly annoyed, he looked up, furrowing his brows as he took the schedule. After scrutinizing her, he asked, "What’s your name?"
"Cheng Yao."
"How long have you been in the company?"
"Over half a year."
There were quite a few people in the secretarial office, not everyone was familiar to Fu Shihan, and this one in front of him seemed to be the first time he had seen her.
However, her nose and mouth resembled Su Wanxin’s, so he casually asked for her name.
After Fu Shihan finished reviewing the schedule and signed it, he handed it back to her and asked, "Where is Dong Wenying?"
Usually, these tasks were handled by Dong Wenying, but today she was nowhere to be seen.
