Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 687: Have you thought of a way to appease me, so I won’t scold you?

The moonlight is enchanting, but she is even more so.

Fu Shihan’s gaze is deep and fervent.

He lowers his eyes slowly, moving his gaze upward, meeting hers.

Su Wanxin’s long eyelashes tremble slightly, somewhat unable to withstand his burning look. She leans backward and lies down on the bed, pulling the quilt over to cover her face.

Her face and ears are flushed, and the speed of her heartbeat makes her a bit panicked.

It was she who took the initiative to come to this room; she knew there were pictures of her here and also knew what would happen once she came.

It was intentional.

There were no other thoughts in her mind, just the feeling that she didn’t want to disappoint him.

From the hotel to home, he hadn’t done anything excessive. The promise had been spoken from her lips, and even when she regretted it, he didn’t say anything, just helplessly smiled bitterly and told her to sleep.

He likes her; he doesn’t force her.

Su Wanxin knows all this, and recalling that she’s already returned, even if nothing happens tonight, she couldn’t explain it to Su Yao tomorrow morning. It would only lead Su Yao and Lu Ci to believe they did something.

So... might as well make their suspicions a reality.

Fu Shihan lies down beside her, listening as she speaks softly, "Last time you called me to come over to help you with the documents, I wandered around your house..."

Fu Shihan is momentarily startled, reminiscing about that incident.

He was indeed very busy that day, with sudden issues at the overseas branch. He was still asleep when a phone call woke him.

He has a bad temper when he wakes up, listening to the subordinate over the phone, not getting to the point, which frustrated him. Then he rushed to get dressed, looking for his ID, and headed for the airport.

The documents that he later asked Su Wanxin for were related to the domestic company’s business. During a video conference that day about the project, he suddenly remembered that the items were at home.

Actually, he could have had someone come to his house to fetch them. Calling Su Wanxin was more about his own desire.

He just wanted an excuse to say a few words to her, to have her visit his home.

However, he didn’t expect that she would see these photos that day.

"I’m sorry..." Su Wanxin continues to speak softly, "I couldn’t resist that day and wandered around without your permission."

Su Wanxin bravely confesses, knowing it’s impolite to wander around someone’s home without the owner’s permission – especially their bedroom, the most private place in a home.

So even if Fu Shihan gets angry, she has nothing to say in her defense. She’s in the wrong; she admits her mistake.

"So, you’ve known about the photos here for a while?" Fu Shihan asks her quietly.

"...Yeah, I saw them that day."

"What did you think at the time?"

"I was a bit surprised. I thought these things looked out of place here, ruining the decor."

"I think they fit in quite well." Fu Shihan smiles, his eyes brimming with amusement. Holding her tight, he continues to ask, "Since you’ve known all along, why bring it up only today?"

"I didn’t dare before, afraid of being scolded."

Su Wanxin is honest, she was truly afraid of him before they got to know each other. Even now, as long as he keeps a straight face, she feels a bit scared.

"So why aren’t you afraid today, daring to suggest sleeping here?" Laughter is nearly spilling from Fu Shihan’s eyes as he guesses her little thoughts. "Did you figure out how to appease me, so I wouldn’t scold you?"
