Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 724: This is your home, not mine.

He whispered gently by her ear, Su Wanxin clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes reddening under the dim light.

I am yours, I am only yours.

"Fu Shihan, I’ve really never thought about marriage, give me some time to consider it, let’s talk about it later, okay?"

Su Wanxin declined again, feeling Fu Shihan’s body stiffen slightly, her heart filled with a mix of emotions, the discomfort indescribable.

Fu Shihan didn’t speak for a long while, just silently holding her in his arms.

He was trying to calm his own emotions; he was angry but couldn’t lash out at her.

Time slowly passed by, after an unknown while, Su Wanxin heard him speak again: "Sleep in my room tonight."

"No!"

This time Su Wanxin rejected him without a second thought, reigniting the fire Fu Shihan had barely managed to suppress, causing it to surge up uncontrollably.

"Everything is not okay, so tell me what is?"

He raised his voice and asked her.

"Everyone at home already knows about us, we even have a child, what are you afraid of? Who doesn’t know about your relationship with me?"

We’re not children anymore, what’s wrong with living together?

His sudden outburst startled Su Wanxin, making her tremble.

"Knowing doesn’t mean approval." Su Wanxin stood up, her voice trembling slightly. "I don’t want your family to think I’m that kind of casual person, that I came back with you just to seduce you."

Perhaps others wouldn’t think so, but his grandpa definitely would.

"You’re not in a good mood today, I don’t want to argue with you, I’ll go out first."

Su Wanxin stepped out of his room, leaning against the wall after closing the door to block his view, stood there for a while, and then rubbed her eyes before heading downstairs.

Downstairs, Fu Shiyi was watching TV with Li Mo, the rest had already gone back to their rooms.

They turned around and looked over, then heard Su Wanxin say, "I’ll stay in Yangyang’s room tonight."

"Ah... okay..." Fu Shiyi nodded slowly, thinking to himself, shouldn’t you be staying with my brother? How did he let you out?

"I’m going up first." Su Wanxin clenched her fist, looking at Li Mo. "Aunt Mo, if there’s anything, just call for me."

Li Mo had planned to take the opportunity to talk more with her today, but after noticing her bad state, she gave up on that idea.

"Go rest."

Li Mo nodded, gesturing for Fu Shiyi to escort her upstairs. Then she frowned slightly, wondering what Fu Shihan had said to upset her.

Upstairs, Yangyang had already taken his bath and was sitting on the sofa, reading a book with a maid. Seeing Su Wanxin, he immediately joyfully nestled into her arms.

The maid left, and Su Wanxin and Fu Shiyi kept him company in the room. Fu Shiyi watched the child’s clingy behavior, his smile tinged with bitterness.

Ever since the child was born, he had spent very little time with his parents. Su Wanxin’s disappearance and Fu Shihan’s rare returns had left the child with an extreme lack of security.

He was a tender, delicate child at heart, just like Su Wanxin. But he also had a foul temper, just like Fu Shihan.

Ever since Su Wanxin returned, he had been getting brighter day by day, visibly happier than before.

"Wanwan. Have you considered... moving back?"

Fu Shiyi couldn’t help but ask her softly, Su Wanxin heard this and her eyes widened slightly. "Move where?"

"Here, back home."

"...This is your home, not mine."
