Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 1161: Fu Su’s Romance

Su Wanxin lowered her gaze and was silent for a long time, before slowly shaking her head and answering him, "No."

If he hadn’t chosen her back then, if she had been humiliated by the director that night, she wouldn’t have lived to be chosen by Alex.

She would have died, would have died early in the orphanage. She would rather die than become a plaything for those people.

Fu Shihan didn’t speak for a while after hearing her words, seemingly understanding the implication behind them as his face turned unpleasant.

Late at night, the two returned to the bedroom.

Su Wanxin, after showering, lay on the bed absent-mindedly browsing her phone, unable to sleep.

She didn’t check the unread messages and emails, just flipping through her contacts list. Her gaze stopped at Mu Xinghan’s number, and she fell into deep thought.

After listening to part of the truth from Fu Shihan, her emotions had been complicated and hard to calm down.

Past events vividly replayed in her mind, and her last few encounters with Mu Xinghan were far from pleasant. Now that she understood the reason for his dealings with those people like Alex, she naturally regretted some of the things she had said.

But she also knew clearly that she couldn’t call Mu Xinghan. Even if she did call, she wouldn’t know what to say.

Regarding his identity, not a word could be mentioned. In that case, what else could be said? Casual chat? They could no longer return to that kind of interaction.

Moreover, Fu Shihan had just met him, and she made such an inexplicable call. It’s easy to see that someone as smart as Mu Xinghan would surely notice something odd.

Su Wanxin kept overthinking like this, experiencing insomnia she hadn’t felt in a long time.

Fu Shihan came out of the bathroom and lay beside her. He glanced at her phone screen and easily took the phone away.

"Stop thinking about it, it’s useless. We can’t meddle in his affairs."

Mu Xinghan’s daily work was already confidential, and the encounter with Alex was purely a coincidence. Even Fu Shihan could only help this time, but not the next.

"There are few people left in the Mu Family. Since you are uneasy, do something that makes you feel better."

"What are you referring to?" Su Wanxin was puzzled.

"We’ll resolve Mu Suyu’s safety issue."

"You’re right, we should treat Xiao Yu better." Su Wanxin nodded silently, "Let’s find a suitable time in the next few days to invite her over for a meal at home. I haven’t seen her in a while."

"Okay, I’ll follow your lead." Fu Shihan stroked her head, calming her softly. "I’ll arrange her matters."

Even if she hadn’t mentioned it, he also planned to do more for this Mu-named girl. After all, Mu Suyu indeed helped a lot in his and Su Wanxin’s affair.

The room fell silent, with Su Wanxin lying in Fu Shihan’s embrace. The time was already late, and thinking about the several meetings she had tomorrow made her head ache.

A muddled night of dreams until daybreak.

After washing up, the two went downstairs for breakfast. Su Wanxin, physically and mentally exhausted, gently declined President Fu’s offer to take her to work and left hurriedly with Lin Rui.

Last night, due to Mu Xinghan’s matter, she hadn’t paid attention to her gossip. But it’s not surprising that even just overnight, the buzz wouldn’t fade away that quickly.

Just as Su Wanxin expected, after one night, the "Fu Su relationship" remained steadfastly at the top spot of search rankings.

With such effect, aside from exaggeration by several major media outlets, it was naturally also fueled by certain individuals.
