Chapter 771 Agree
"Consider?" Huo Zhizhou's voice rose at the end.
Sui Sui said, "What if you don't do it correctly?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Once you've made the standard, will you take me back?"
One meal a year.
Why does he feel like his dad is just waiting for him to answer yes so he can openly and legitimately act cute with his mom?
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Huo Zhizhou poked his cheek.
“You can’t be the standard.” Sui Sui didn’t agree just in case. “Your face isn’t cute or adorable. If you used the same tone and expression as me to act cute with Mommy, Mommy would be scared.”
Huo Zhizhou: "Whether it's up to standard or not can be judged by your mother."
Sui Sui: "..."
Year after year, silence fell.
Suddenly I didn't know how to answer.
I have a feeling this is a trap.
Just then.
Mo Mo walked in, his tone as robotic as ever: "Sui Sui, the boss is here."
Sui Sui's eyes lit up: "Where!"
Mo Mo: "We'll be there soon."
Sui Sui turned and ran outside. Before he had taken two steps, he saw Jiang Ruan walking in. He quickly ran over and threw himself into her arms, his eyes full of joy: "Mommy!"
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Jiang Ruan patted his head.
"Soon, just right!" Sui Sui especially liked Jiang Ruan, and reached out her little hand to take hers. "Let's go home!"
Just as Jiang Ruan was about to tell Huo Zhizhou, Huo Zhizhou came out. He stopped two steps away from Jiang Ruan, his handsome, deep eyes looking at her: "Finished with work?"
"Yes," Jiang Ruan replied politely. "Thank you for your help today."
“Sui Sui is also my child, so it’s only right that I take care of him,” Huo Zhizhou said calmly. “We don’t need to be so distant with each other.”
Jiang Ruan didn't say much: "Mm."
Huo Zhizhou: "Why don't we go in and sit for a while?"
Jiang Ruan: "No, I have things to do when I get back."
Huo Zhizhou knew this was her excuse; there was no way she could be going back so late at night. She simply didn't want to be with him, but he didn't call her out on it: "Okay."
"Okay, I'm leaving." Jiang Ruan remained indifferent throughout.
"Take care and drive carefully," Huo Zhizhou instructed.
Jiang Ruan said "okay," then lowered her eyes and said to Sui Sui, "Tell Daddy."
Sui Sui is very sensible: "Goodbye, Daddy."
That concludes the discussion.
Jiang Ruan then took Sui Sui away and got into the car where Su Zhu was.
On the way back, Jiang Ruan asked Sui Sui about his day, asking him what he ate and whether he enjoyed his time with his father. Sui Sui answered obediently to all of them.
After finishing their conversation, Jiang Ruan started talking to Su Zhu about other things.
Sui Sui sat beside him, glancing frequently at Jiang Ruan, her mind preoccupied with his deal with Huo Zhizhou.
The thought of Huo Zhizhou mentioning three times made him realize he had been tricked.
If he had initially said he would visit Mommy every two weeks, and then arranged to meet Mommy once a month, Daddy might not have said he would see her three times a week, including meals.
"Does Sui Sui have something she wants to tell you?" Su Zhu noticed his state and said to Jiang Ruan, "She looked at you several times in the past minute, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped."
Sui Sui: "!"
Jiang Ruan turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sui Sui: "It's nothing."
Jiang Ruan: "Really?"
She noticed the look in his eyes, but didn't ask directly because she thought Sui Sui might not have figured out how to talk to her yet. The only thing that could elicit this reaction from him was that the matter was related to Huo Zhizhou.
"There is a little bit of that." Sui Sui said this with a little guilt, after all, the deal she made with her father was not discussed with her mother beforehand, which was not quite right in theory.
Jiang Ruan: "It's related to your father."
Sui Sui pursed her lips and scratched her head: "Do you have to be so smart?"
Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Don't you know what kind of person Mommy is?"
Sui Sui no longer hid it.
He told her about his deal with Huo Zhizhou.
He goes to their place twice a week.
Once a week, the family of three goes out to eat.
"Dad said he won't do anything reckless or climb over walls if you agree to his request," Sui Sui relayed completely. "Of course, if you feel it's happened too often, we can discuss it further, but..."
Jiang Ruan's expression remained unchanged: "But what?"
Sui Sui coughed lightly: "He said if it's less than three times a week, he'll make up the difference himself."
Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.
Sui Sui added: "What I meant by adding this myself was that he could climb over walls and pick locks."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Su Zhu: "?"
Su Zhu felt there was a lot of information involved.
Circumventing the Great Firewall?
"Okay." Jiang Ruan agreed after a brief thought. "You have to tell me in advance for the two times you come to my house, and get my permission. As for going out to eat, it's up to you to decide."
Sui Sui looked up in surprise.
Su Zhu was also full of surprise.
I never expected her to agree so readily.
"Really?" Sui Sui was quite happy.
He doesn't expect his mother to remarry his father, after all, what his father did was too awful.
But he still hopes that his father and mother can be good friends.
If you have a good relationship, you can help each other and achieve success together.
I imagined Mommy would think about it for a while, but I didn't expect to get a result so quickly.
“Really,” Jiang Ruan said. “You can tell him again tomorrow.”
Sui Sui instantly understood her meaning: "Mm!"
Jiang Ruan rubbed his head.
Sui Sui's eyes curved into crescent moons as she looked extremely happy.
A while later.
He pulled himself out of his happiness.
Thinking about the situation, he spoke again: "Mommy."
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
Sui Sui: "Will you be unhappy when you meet Daddy?"
Jiang Ruan: "No."
Sui Sui: Really?
Jiang Ruan: "Mm."
Sui Sui spoke the truth: "Although I want you to agree, you don't have to agree if it makes you unhappy. I can find time to talk to Dad properly."
"It's alright," Jiang Ruan reassured him. "That's all."
After seeing that she really didn't feel any discomfort, Sui Sui felt more relaxed than ever before.
Some time has passed.
The group arrived home.
Sui Sui went to greet and chat with Grandpa Qin and Jiang An, while Jiang Ruan went upstairs with Su Zhu.
Su Zhu stood on the third-floor balcony, looking at the night sky below. Thinking about what they had talked about on the way, she was somewhat surprised: "You really can accept meeting Huo Zhizhou three times a week?"
Jiang Ruan: "Mm."
Su Zhu: "Lingering feelings?"
Jiang Ruan: "No."
Su Zhu: "Because of Sui Sui?"
Jiang Ruan: "Not entirely."
Su Zhu was a little curious.
Jiang Ruan placed her hand on it, looking outside, her heart completely calm: "Ever since Huo Zhizhou came back, I've been worried that he'll do something reckless, after all, he has a somewhat extreme personality."
Su Zhu nodded.
I agree with this.
"It's just noodles once a week. It makes Sui Sui happy and relieves my worries and concerns. It's a win-win situation." Jiang Ruan has a clear and insightful view of things.
Su Zhu: "?"
Su Zhu recalled her earlier words: "Isn't it three times a week?"
Jiang Ruan: "The other two times he came here, he didn't explicitly mention in his request that I have to eat and chat with him. He came whenever he wanted. I'm quite busy most of the time."
Given her current situation, we won't have much time to meet.
Even if we do meet, we're both busy with our own things.
