Chapter 369 Fu Siyan's Little Thoughts
A brief silence fell, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Shen Qingshu said, "Han Mingyu, Qi Mingxuan is an old acquaintance of yours, but you have never mentioned her to me."
There was no emotional entanglement between us.
"That's just your personal opinion, isn't it?" Shen Qingshu chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm. "Han Mingyu, Qi Mingxuan targeted me several times, and I thought it was because of Fu Siyan, but actually it wasn't. It was because of you. And throughout this process, you were always aware of it, but you never reminded me."
“I haven’t been in contact with her for many years,” Han Mingyu said urgently. “I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would overthink it.”
"You're afraid that if I find out, I'll distance myself from you because of Qi Mingxuan."
Han Mingyu remained silent.
Shen Qingshu knew that he did have this concern, but not all of them.
"Han Mingyu, you actually know Qi Mingxuan very well. You even knew from the very beginning what she was going to do next. The revelation incident, looking back now, the hospital visit was probably all planned by you. You knew all along that Qi Mingxuan would arrange for people to follow and secretly film her, and even the hotel incident..."
"I really didn't expect what happened at the hotel!"
Say things you're eager to refute or use to prove yourself.
Silence fell over the air.
Han Mingyu realized what was happening and felt remorseful.
He hurriedly explained, "Shen Qingshu, I admit that I was partly playing along, but I haven't been in contact with Qi Mingxuan for a long time. I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid that if you knew, you would keep your distance from me because of her."
"Then you're quite selfish," Shen Qingshu said calmly. "However, we're just friends, so you're not obligated to tell me everything. But Qi Mingxuan did target me because of you, so keeping this from me, even if we're just friends, is quite unkind."
Han Mingyu knew he was in the wrong, and said, "I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize. I called you not to hear an apology, but to let you know that everything Qi Mingxuan did was because of you."
Han Mingyu sighed, "She's always been like this, always self-centered."
“But she said she gave up.” Shen Qingshu paused, then continued, “In the end, she also said something about the bet lasting a month, that she knew the answer, and so on. Also, she gave me her agreement with Fu Siyan and told me that she and Fu Siyan were not actually married.”
"She and Fu Siyan aren't married?" Han Mingyu asked in surprise, but after a few seconds, he asked again, "Would she be so kind as to tell you that?"
“I was also surprised. I always felt that what she did tonight was too much of a reversal, like she was making some kind of resolution.”
Han Mingyu, however, felt that Shen Qingshu was overthinking things.
"She has already obtained everything with Fu Siyan's help, so there's nothing left for her to gain. Perhaps she's come to terms with it and has let Fu Siyan go!"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, then she has become a benefactor to me and Fu Siyan."
"You and Fu Siyan?" Han Mingyu pondered these words repeatedly before finally asking in a deep voice, "You and Fu Siyan got back together?"
"Mr. Han, I don't need to answer such a personal question."
Han Mingyu chuckled softly, "If you don't answer, I'll assume there's still hope."
“You don’t need to try to provoke me.” Shen Qingshu remained unmoved. “I currently prefer being single, but if I want to date in the future, the father of my child will be my first choice. Mr. Han, you have never been in my range of potential partners.”
Han Mingyu felt a pang of sadness. "Shen Qingshu, why do you have to deceive yourself? Your heart has never been empty. Even if you lock it up, Fu Siyan's name still remains in your heart."
Shen Qingshu did not refute this.
Her silence felt cruel to Han Mingyu.
“Chen Qingshu, I don’t think I lost. Fu Siyan just met you earlier than me. If I had met you before Fu Siyan, I believe you would have chosen me.”
However, he was just being boastful, and Shen Qingshu didn't take it seriously.
She didn't want to get too entangled with Han Mingyu on this topic.
However, considering that Qi Mingxuan had donated bone marrow to her, she still offered one more piece of advice.
"Han Mingyu, for the sake of your friendship with Qi Sinian, go and see Qi Mingxuan. Your avoidance of her back then has become a knot in her heart all these years. For a woman to still hold you in her heart after eight years, she must truly love you to death."
Han Mingyu remained silent for a while before finally responding with a soft "Okay".
...
Shen Qingshu hung up the phone, took her pajamas, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, she sat in front of her vanity and applied skincare products.
Just then, the sound of a car came from the front yard downstairs.
Chen Qingshu paused in his movements.
I already had a guess in my mind.
She did not get up, but continued doing her own thing.
About half a minute later, there was a knock on the door.
Shen Qingshu remained calm as she got up and went to open the door.
Outside, Aunt Yun said in a low voice, "Shao Qing brought Mr. Fu over. I don't know what happened to Mr. Fu. His hands are wrapped in thick bandages, and his face is deathly pale. He looks so pitiful."
Shen Qingshu was not surprised at all.
"What did Shao Qing say?"
"Shao Qing said he has a case to handle these days and can't take care of Mr. Fu."
Aunt Yun paused for a second, observing Shen Qingshu's expression. Seeing that she had no reaction, she continued, "Mr. Fu's hands are like this now, and he's all alone in Nanxi Mansion with no one to take care of him. They said we have plenty of manpower here, so they asked me to ask you if you could take Mr. Fu in for a few days?"
Shen Qingshu knew exactly what Fu Siyan was thinking, but she didn't expose his little scheme.
"Since Shao Qing is busy, let him stay here."
Aunt Yun was shocked when she heard this. "You're really keeping him? Aren't you going to avoid suspicion?"
Calmly relieved.
If it seems to be a misunderstanding, it would be better to clarify things with Sister Yun and the others.
"Fu Siyan and Qi Mingxuan are not legally married; their relationship is purely professional."
"We didn't get a marriage certificate!" Aunt Yun exclaimed in surprise. "Then, what about the marriage certificate that was officially announced online..."
"It's fake. There are a lot of things involved here, Sister Yun. I can't explain it to you in just a few words."
"It's alright, it's alright!" Aunt Yun waved her hand and said with a smile, "As long as Mr. Fu doesn't marry someone else, it's fine. Otherwise, living in his ex-wife's house while being someone else's husband will damage your reputation if word gets out."
Shen Qingshu understood Yun Sao's concerns as an elder.
She smiled slightly, "No, it was all a misunderstanding before. As for what happened online, let's wait and see."
"Alright, alright, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. So, which room will Mr. Fu stay in?"
The children's room that Fu Siyan used to live in is now occupied by Xiao Niannian and Zhang Yun.
There are no rooms available on the second floor.
Shen Qingshu said, "Let's go to the guest room on the east side of the third floor. That room has the best lighting."
"Okay, I'll go pack now."
Shen Qingshu responded lightly.
Sister Yun went upstairs excitedly.
Shen Qingshu took a cardigan from the clothes rack, put it on, and walked out of the room downstairs.
