Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 721: Don’t Eat My Stuff

Imperial Capital’s traffic is known to all, so upon hearing this, Fu Shiyi and the others immediately headed to the restaurant, without any hesitation.

Su Wanxin, seeing that everyone was doing this, could only follow along, only to be seated by Fu Shiyi pressing down on her shoulders.

She was seated between Fu Shihan and Yangyang; consequently, Yangyang insisted on being held by her, steadfastly refusing to bow down even when Fu Shihan coldly called out her full name.

There was no helping it, today the number of people supporting him was just too many.

It was the first time Little Fu Yangyang saw his mom and dad and great-grandpa together at the dinner table, and with so many people, he got a bit excited, not even afraid of the big villain anymore.

Fu Yangyang convinced himself that Fu Shihan wouldn’t dare to hit him in front of mom, and thus shamelessly clung to Su Wanxin’s arms, deceiving himself by thinking: If I don’t look at dad, it’s as if dad isn’t looking at me either.

So, he wasn’t scared.

His behavior also allowed Su Wanxin to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling much more grounded. Holding the small bundle in her arms provided her with an exceptional sense of security.

Fu Yansheng was sitting right across from her, and just by lifting her head she could see the face of the elder, which unavoidably made Su Wanxin nervous.

She couldn’t determine the real purpose of why the Fu Family had invited her over for dinner today, but she thought, with Yangyang here, they shouldn’t make things too difficult for her.

Su Wanxin kept her head down and remained silent, eating her food, occasionally feeding Yangyang a bite or two. Anyone could see her restraint and unease.

She only ate from the dish in front of her, only reaching for other dishes when the little one in her arms voiced a desire for something else.

And the dish in front of her was ironically filled with the food she liked the least.

This was prepared for Fu Shihan since they were seated next to each other, the servant had just casually placed it in front of her.

Fu Shihan didn’t remember her tastes, but he noticed her cautiousness. He lifted his hand, moved the dish towards himself, and meeting her gaze, he softly said, "This is mine."

"...I’m sorry." Su Wanxin furrowed her brows slightly, speaking softly, "I didn’t know."

Her apology instantly made Fu Shihan choke up inside, seeing her face turn a bit red from embarrassment. Fu Shihan didn’t mean to embarrass her, yet unexpectedly, she was this nervous.

Fu Shihan sighed and said nothing else, but changed her plate for another and held her hand under the table. Then he discovered, her fingertips were ice-cold; her palms sweated coldly.

Fu Shihan frowned slightly, took another look at her, and heard Li Mo asking about corporate affairs, he responded absentmindedly.

Su Wanxin listened attentively and realized that Li Mo was particularly well-informed about the current situation of the Fu Group.

She knew what projects the company was currently progressing on and also knew about the planned upcoming moves.

She had always kept an eye on the company’s movements, even if she couldn’t participate immediately, she continued in her own way, never thinking of giving up everything she loved.

Su Wanxin thought Chen Lei made a very accurate statement; he said that if something hadn’t happened to Li Mo, he definitely wouldn’t have faded from everyone’s sight.

It wasn’t her intention to retreat behind the scenes; she was compelled to do so.

Su Wanxin ate her food tastelessly, and halfway through their meal, Fu Shihan’s father came back.

Upon hearing the sound, Su Wanxin turned her head to look, and just at that moment, Fu Hongru also looked over, their gazes meeting.

His indifferent gaze made Su Wanxin feel very familiar.

That is exactly the kind of gaze Fu Shihan has when he is quiet, distant and cold.
