Chapter 171 Warm Sunshine
If she said yes, he could hold her on a pedestal again, love her, protect her, and trust her as before, and no longer ask about the past.
He would try to make the wound that had been torn away and numb grow again, just to beat for her.
If her answer is no, then he is willing to let go and will not pester her anymore. He will also forget the past and give each other peace.
After all, they had been delayed for too long by what happened back then and no longer had the energy to waste.
Her condition has improved, and she believes that as long as he says that he has forgiven her, she will be able to completely get rid of the nightmares and psychological barriers.
She could go back to her normal life and he would be out of her life.
These are the two paths he chose between them.
It is up to her to decide where she will go in the end.
Hopefully her answer will be a step towards a fresh start for them.
…
Before Su Mi fell asleep, she made a silent decision in her heart that after she finished her family affairs and returned to Hwaseong, she would confess her feelings to him.
Thinking about what he had done and said recently, she wanted to ignore everything for once.
She remembered that his birthday was coming soon, so she decided to wait until his birthday to tell him.
Su Mi silently noted the date and thought about what gift to prepare.
When she woke up the next day, her side was empty.
She got up and went to the living room, but there was no one there.
I took out my phone and saw the message he sent me: "I'm going back to Hwaseong first. Let me know when you're done and I'll pick you up."
Is this gone already?
Su Mi replied with a message: "OK, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
After cleaning up, she went to the hospital first and saw that her father had woken up and was sitting on the bed, eating breakfast at a small table.
Seeing her coming, he waved, "Qingqing, you are here?"
"Daddy, how do you feel?" She walked over and sat aside.
"It's fine. He will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. In fact, he has been fine for a long time. It's your mother who insisted that it has been delayed until now."
"Mommy is also worried about you, so just listen to her." Su Mi took the initiative to pick up the eggs on the plate and peeled them.
Then put it on the plate next to his bowl of porridge.
Su Boren looked at the peeled eggs and said, "I am so lucky. My son-in-law buys me breakfast and my daughter peels eggs for me."
Su Mi was stunned for a moment, "He bought it?"
Did he come to visit Daddy before he left?
"Yes, Xiao Jin came early. He brought breakfast and told me that he had to go back to Huacheng for something, so he came to say goodbye to me."
In fact, Su Boren has a dedicated person to provide three meals a day here, but Xiao Xuanjin's kindness is very rare.
The key point is that he came to see Daddy before he left, which was a kind of comfort. Otherwise, when Daddy knew that he left without saying goodbye, he would definitely think too much.
"Daddy, don't worry, he and I will honor you together in the future."
Su Boren felt relieved after hearing this. "Seeing you like this, I feel relieved too."
"But you don't have to stay with me all the time. You should go back soon. It's not good for newlyweds to stay apart for a long time."
Su Mi naturally knew what his father meant, "I know, I will go back when you are discharged from the hospital."
"Dad heard that you have been doing well in the company recently. I heard from Chen Ning that the people above are very optimistic about you. Dad believes that you will be able to do well in the Huacheng market in the future."
Chen Ning was the vice president who led Su Mi when she first joined the company.
Speaking of the company, Su Wei felt the burden on him become heavier. "Daddy, I will work hard."
"However, you must not overwork after you are discharged from the hospital. You must take good care of your health and wait for the rest of your life to be spent in peace with your mother."
Su Boren was very pleased to hear his daughter's words, and at the same time felt that his daughter had really grown up.
The child who used to be playful and arrogant has grown up and become an adult who can stand on his own.
"Okay, Dad will wait for that day."
"Well, eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
After spending some time with his father in the hospital, Su Mi went to the company.
She called in Tian Xin, who had helped her track down her whereabouts last night.
"Boss Su, you're looking for me?"
Su Mi is now the director, and when she arrives in Hwaseong, she will be the general manager of the branch there.
"How's the investigation going?"
"I have retrieved the text message, but I haven't tracked down the person yet."
Su Mi tapped the desktop with her fingers. The man had the photo, but he just sent it to her and did not take any further action.
If it is the media, they will usually come with photos and ask her for money.
But the other party obviously did not mean that, and did not reveal any information or blackmail.
"Keep investigating. We must find out where the other party came from."
It shouldn't be like this. She hired Tian Xin at a huge price, so he should be familiar with investigating these things. Why would it take so long?
"Okay, Mr. Su, do you have any other clues?"
Su Mi thought about it and thought of the girl wearing the cheongsam yesterday, "Maybe I can check her out."
That woman must have connections with the people behind the scenes.
She gave a few simple instructions and asked Tian Xin to get it done right away.
Rubbing my eyebrows, I always feel that this matter is not simple.
There was a knock on the door, and Linda came in with documents, "Mr. Su, these need your signature."
"good."
This busy schedule lasted until noon.
She checked the time and called Xiao Xuanjin.
The phone rang about five times before someone picked up. "Hello?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Just got off the plane. You picked a good time."
The sound was transmitted through the electric current, and Su Mi felt much calmer when he listened to his voice.
"Of course, I calculated the time." She said with an unconscious coquettish tone.
After hearing this, Xiao Xuanjin tightened his fingers a little, and his brows relaxed, "Have you had lunch?"
“Not yet.”
"Are you busy again and forgot? Are you still thinking about what happened last night?"
I thought to myself that this man was too sensitive, "No, I was just about to go out to eat."
"Then go quickly."
"Um."
"Don't worry, there won't be any big trouble. I'm here for you."
Hearing his words, Su Mi felt relieved for some reason. "Okay."
…
After hanging up the call, Xiao Xuanjin put away his phone.
He said to Jason behind him, "Go check Gu's Enterprise and Gu Muqing. The more details the better."
"Yes, President."
The two got into the black business car that had been waiting outside for a long time.
Jason asked, "By the way, President, where are we going next?"
"Go to... Huada."
"SCHOOL?"
"Um."
Jason didn't dare to ask any more questions about his boss's intention and told the driver to drive.
They soon arrived at the school and the car drove into the campus. Xiao Xuanjin looked out the window at the familiar teaching building, the familiar rubber track, and the familiar basketball court.
Nothing has changed at all.
It was now mid-January, and it was almost time for the winter vacation.
Most students in school are busy preparing for their final exams.
After getting off the car, he looked around and glanced at the girls' dormitory building.
He remembered the window so well that he would look up every time he passed by it.
It was like a mysterious magnet that could fix his sight firmly.
Every time this happened, he could vaguely remember that figure standing on the balcony looking around.
Jason looked in the direction he was looking at. "President, what are you looking at?"
There was a long silence, and just when Jason thought he wasn't going to answer.
He replied calmly, "Look... Nuan Yang."
Warm sunshine...the gentle touch of longing.
Along the long river of time, it hangs high in the sky, shining brightly.
