From the initial panic of finding out she was having a child with Fu Shihan, to now being accustomed to having Yangyang around.
During this time, Su Wanxin has been learning how to be a mother.
She doesn’t know if all mothers are like this, with their children being their weakness. In any case, Yangyang is really important to her.
Worried he’d overheat when it’s hot, worried he’d catch cold when it’s cold.
The difference between Hua Country and Empire isn’t just the time difference; even the temperature is worlds apart. It’s the depths of winter in Hua Country, but summer here in the Empire.
During their first couple of days back, Su Wanxin was always worried, afraid he wouldn’t sleep well or catch a cold. But to her surprise, the little guy adjusted quite well, even faster than she did with the time difference.
Su Wanxin walked lightly to the bed and bent down to kiss his forehead.
Yangyang seemed to sense her presence, whimpered softly, called out "Mommy," and reached out. After grabbing her clothes, he continued to sleep deeply.
Su Wanxin lay down next to him, hugging him with one arm and scrolling through her phone with the other, wondering where Fu Shihan was.
She played on her phone for a good fifteen minutes before receiving a message from Fu Shihan.
He sent a location marker, indicating he was already at the hotel. Then he asked if she had any work plans for tomorrow.
Su Wanxin knew he wanted to go on a date; during the time they had been together, they hadn’t yet gone out openly.
Every time she appeared in front of others, Su Wanxin felt like she was acting as a spy. Getting too into character, she unconsciously felt like playing opposite roles with Fu Shihan.
At the hotel, Fu Shihan was standing on the balcony with Lu Ci, drinking and chatting. After receiving her message, he looked down and gave a wry smile.
She replied: Even if I’m free, I’m not going out to play with you.
Lu Ci craned his neck to look, chuckled, and said, "Let me interview Brother Han, did you ever think you’d see this day?"
"My today, your tomorrow, what’s there to gloat about," Fu Shihan answered with ease: "How far have things progressed with Lawyer Su?"
"What do you think?"
"Lawyers are definitely hard to chase. Let me interview Brother Ci, what does it feel like to be scolded? Remember to live stream it next time, I’ll pay."
"Are you still in a position to talk?" Lu Ci raised an eyebrow: "Su Yao said, as long as you and her sister haven’t sorted things out, there’s no hope for me and her."
Wanting to fall in love but being under such constraints, who had he offended?
Hearing this, Fu Shihan laughed out loud, feeling quite pleased inside, and his liking for Su Yao rose significantly.
She was truly his wife’s reliable older sister.
"After the New Year, once Wanwan returns, I plan to propose."
Fu Shihan suddenly said something that caught Lu Ci, who was drinking beer, unprepared. He coughed twice and looked at Fu Shihan, asking, "How are you going to propose?"
"I don’t know, haven’t thought about it."
Lu Ci: "That’s true, you have no experience, I can’t help you there. But..."
"But what?"
"But didn’t you already publicly announce your engagement? Shouldn’t the proposal have already happened?" Lu Ci pondered: "News of you proposing again might not make a splash, but if it’s about your wedding, now that would be something to see."
"Then shall I help spread some engagement news, let you make a splash too?"
Lu Ci: "Can you do something decent for yourself for once?"
"No," Fu Shihan answered definitively: "Shared blessings are optional, shared troubles are mandatory."
Lu Ci laughed exasperatedly, "Are you warped by the frustrations Grandpa gave you? Have you called my granddad yet?"
