Chapter 555 You Just Don’t Love Me
Because of her pregnancy, Qiao Yunxue felt more relaxed when she returned to the Fu family this time than she had imagined. Even Fu Qingyun was more tolerant of her. She left the table early or went to rest early, and Fu Qingyun didn't say anything, let alone talk to her alone.
Qiao Yunxue stayed at the Fu family for a few days. By the third day of the Lunar New Year, many relatives and friends came to the Fu family, most of whom she had never met before.
In addition, people from the Lin family also came - including Lin Muyue.
This was not what Qiao Yunxue had expected. When she met Lin Muyue, she was stunned. However, Lin Muyue walked up to her with a smile, handed her the gift in his hand, and greeted her like he was a long-time friend. He said to her, "Long time no see, Xiaoxue. Your belly has grown so big! It's amazing how fast you've grown."
"This is a small gift I customized for my child. I'm giving it to you in advance." Lin Muyue said warmly.
Qiao Yunxue took a look at the bag she handed over. There was a velvet box inside, which should be something like jewelry. It was a tradition in North City.
But given her relationship with Lin Muyue, there was really no need for Lin Muyue to do so.
"Mu Yue is so thoughtful." Qiao Yunxue was silent when she heard Fu Qingyun's voice. He smiled and nodded to Lin Mu Yue, then reminded Qiao Yunxue: "Take it."
Qiao Yunxue took a breath, reached out to take it, and forced out a "thank you".
Lin Muyue smiled and said, "You're too polite. I've known Shanzhan for more than 20 years, and his children still call me aunt."
Qiao Yunxue was speechless.
After several experiences of getting along with each other, she already knew that Lin Muyue did it on purpose. Now that Fu Qingyun was present, if she showed any unfriendly attitude towards Lin Muyue, Fu Qingyun would regard her as ungrateful.
He was really good at calculating. She couldn't beat him, and she didn't have the energy to engage in intrigue.
Qiao Yunxue found a random excuse to leave. When she left, she heard Lin Muyue and Fu Qingyun talking about work. Fu Qingyun talked a lot more when chatting with Lin Muyue. It might be because he had watched her grow up, or it might be because they talked about topics that interested him. Anyway, this was something Qiao Yunxue couldn't do.
She no longer pursues these things.
Regardless of whether Lin Muyue really just came here to pay New Year's greetings with the Lin family today, or he was intending to upset her, she couldn't say anything. If she did, she would only appear petty, calculative, and lacking in magnanimity.
…
Fu Shanzhan and Ji Qingyuan took Fu Xiao out to buy some things. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Fu Qingyun and Lin Muyue sitting together and chatting. Fu Shanzhan's smile disappeared immediately, and he frowned and asked Lin Muyue bluntly, "Why are you here?"
Lin Muyue: "My dad and I came to wish Uncle Fu and Auntie a happy new year."
Fu Shanzhan frowned even more tightly. He remembered that when he was a child, the Lin family would indeed come over for dinner in the first month of the lunar year. Later, Lin Muyue went abroad to study and came less often.
He hadn't thought much of it then, but now—
"Where is my wife?" Fu Shanzhan looked around, searching for Qiao Yunxue.
Fu Qingyun: "Go upstairs, go look for it yourself."
Fu Shanzhan responded and went upstairs without looking back. Lin Muyue and Ji Qingyuan exchanged New Year greetings, and then went to the yard to play with Fu Xiao.
Ji Qingyuan and Fu Qingyun were the only two people left in the living room. Ji Qingyuan sat down next to Fu Qingyun, tugged on his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Why is Mu Yue here too?"
Fu Qingyun: "Those who came here with Lao Lin, weren't they all like this when they were little?"
"How can we compare? Xiaoxue will definitely feel uncomfortable seeing this." Ji Qingyuan strongly disagreed with his approach.
Fu Qingyun: "It's okay to feel uncomfortable, but she's here. We can't just kick her out because of this, right?"
"How can everything be done according to her wishes? How can adults be comfortable all the time? You've been married to me for so many years, and it's not like we haven't encountered this kind of situation before. Mature people know how to deal with it. Throwing a tantrum is the most useless thing."
Ji Qingyuan tugged at his arm. "Why do you just lecture me every day? Xiaoxue is still pregnant. We must take care of her emotions right now."
Fu Qingyun: "Then should I go up and apologize to her now?"
Ji Qingyuan: “…”
Fu Qingyun: "Alright, don't worry about it. Let Shanzhan handle it himself. There's nothing wrong between him and Mu Yue. It's not that serious."
Ji Qingyuan shook her head and sighed softly, "I'm just worried about the relationship between the young couple."
Fu Qingyun felt that she was simply worrying unnecessarily: "Do you still need to worry about their relationship? Your son almost broke off all ties with me in order to marry her."
Ji Qingyuan ignored him and continued to sigh, "I heard from their aunt that they haven't been as affectionate lately. They even quarrel and talk less."
Fu Qingyun: "Isn't it good to have fewer arguments? We're going to be parents soon, so arguing every day is nothing."
Ji Qingyuan: "You know shit!"
She pinched Fu Qingyun's arm in anger.
Fu Qingyun: "...Okay, okay, I don't understand, I don't understand, I won't say anything more."
——
When Fu Shanzhan came to the bedroom, Qiao Yunxue was sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. She didn't look up when she heard the door open.
Fu Shanzhan walked over to her, saw the box next to her, picked it up and asked, "What is this?"
Qiao Yunxue still didn't look up, "Lin Muyue gave it to me."
Fu Shanzhan: "Who is it for?"
Qiao Yunxue: "It's for the kids."
Fu Shanzhan said "Oh" and put the bag on the table beside him. Then he said to her, "I didn't know she was coming today. If you don't want to see her, let's go back first. We don't have to eat this meal."
Qiao Yunxue shook her head.
Fu Shanzhan: "What does shaking your head mean?"
Qiao Yunxue: "That's not necessary."
Fu Shanzhan: "But you——"
"There are so many people here today, and many of them come here to congratulate you and me. What will others say if you take me away at this time?" Qiao Yunxue put down her phone and asked the question calmly.
Fu Shanzhan was choked. He naturally knew that this was impolite behavior, but for him, Qiao Yunxue's feelings came first.
"Don't worry about what they say," Fu Shanzhan said. "I only care about your feelings."
Qiao Yunxue: "Yeah, you're not afraid, but I am."
He is the son of the Fu family, and neither the Fu family nor relatives and friends will blame him. But she is an outsider and has married into the Fu family. Therefore, as long as Fu Shanzhan does something inappropriate, she will be the one to be blamed.
Several previous experiences have proven this point.
Fu Shanzhan heard the hidden meaning in Qiao Yunxue's words and said helplessly: "Why are you making things so complicated now? We are the two of us living together, why do you care about others——"
"I don't want to argue, let's drop this topic." Qiao Yunxue said the same thing she often said recently.
Fu Shanzhan was allergic to this sentence.
He stared at her intently, and soon his eyes turned red and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"You just don't love me anymore." His voice trembled violently.
