Without hesitation, Yi Tianran defended Fu Yunchen: "Of course they are not comparable."
Comparing Fu Yunchen to his scumbag father Yi Hai is simply an insult to him.
Noticing her grandmother's smiling gaze, Yi Tianran quickly added, "It's just that for me, relationships are too troublesome... I don't want to be controlled by the emotions in a relationship and lose myself."
As a detective, she has seen all kinds of emotional disputes. No matter how rational or successful a woman is when she falls in love, she will eventually become love-struck.
Despite suffering countless grievances in a relationship, and facing the man's impatience, emotional abuse, and even psychological manipulation, she still refuses to give up.
They always feel that years of relationship and past happiness are not fake, so why not persevere a little longer and maybe the other person will change their mind!
It's ridiculous to convince yourself that you're living a humble life, becoming the kind of person you hate the most.
In her opinion, this was utterly foolish.
But she wouldn't judge other people's feelings without reason; whether they're good or bad, it's their own choice.
And what about her?
Why let yourself get so deeply involved in something that could have been avoided from the start?
"You're just too defensive," Grandma Yi shook her head helplessly. "Do you really think that Xiao Fu will control you and make you lose yourself?"
Of course not.
Yi Tianran instinctively wanted to answer like that, but at the last moment, she hesitated and said awkwardly, "He won't now, but who knows what will happen in the future? People's hearts are the most fickle. Some couples who have been in love for ten or twenty years eventually drift apart..."
She knew this thought was unfair to Fu Yunchen, but she couldn't control herself.
The old lady knew her granddaughter best. "You... perhaps you've already fallen for him, but you just won't admit it. You're just making excuses to avoid dating him."
Yi Tianran: "..."
Yi Tianran was still somewhat confused after leaving the Yi family's old house.
"Tianran, I'll organize the details of the mission and visit you in person another day, is that alright?" Before leaving, Zhuang Yizhan deliberately said loudly in front of Fu Yunchen.
Before Yi Tianran could speak, Fu Yunchen coldly replied, "It's inconvenient."
This time, it was Yi Tianran's turn to be puzzled: "Why?"
"The Fu family doesn't entertain unimportant outsiders." After Fu Yunchen led her to the car, he started the engine with a "whoosh," spraying Zhuang Yizhan with exhaust fumes.
Looking at Zhuang Yizhan, who was choking and nearly dying, in the rearview mirror, Yi Tianran struggled to suppress her laughter. "Mr. Fu, do you have to be so childish?"
"What are you referring to?" Fu Yunchen asked calmly.
Yi Tianran said with a half-smile, "I mean... Lao Zhuang has finally come back, and I haven't even had a proper welcome dinner for him yet. It wouldn't be right to just leave him like this, would it?"
Fu Yunchen's eyes darkened, and he suddenly asked, "Is he more important, or are the children more important?"
Yi Tianran looked completely bewildered. "Huh? How did this get involved with the child?"
Fu Yunchen said matter-of-factly, "The children miss you and want you to come home to be with them as soon as possible."
Yi Tianran smiled gently, casually lifting Fu Yunchen's chin with her finger. "Is it three little kids who need my company, or some older kids?"
What a scoundrel! He actually used the child as an excuse. How cunning!
Since that's the case, she'll play along. "Alright, my dear consort, I'll remember to treat everyone equally from now on, so don't be so jealous, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the car screeched to a halt in front of the Fu residence with a drift and spin.
Fu Yunchen unbuckled his seatbelt, rolled over and pressed down on him, his voice low and husky: "You still want to share your favors equally? Looks like you have quite a few candidates."
Yi Tianran blinked innocently: "Only you, Xiao Maotuan, Geng Geng, and Huai Huai. Who else do you think there is?"
“They won’t do either.” Fu Yunchen leaned on the back of the chair, his possessiveness extremely strong. “Only me.”
He leaned down and kissed her, silencing all her rebuttals.
"Hmm..." Yi Tianran was used to it, but the conversation she had with her grandmother today inadvertently popped into her mind, and she was slightly shaken. She subconsciously pushed his chest.
The next second, Fu Yunchen grasped her palm, forcibly separating their fingers and interlocking them, their fingers tightly clasped together.
The ambiguous atmosphere deepened into a passionate kiss, and a strange, budding emotion seemed to be emerging.
Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more heated, someone knocked on the car window.
"Daddy, Mommy, are you back? Why aren't you coming inside?" Huaihuai's childish voice rang out from outside.
"Idiot! They're being all lovey-dovey, don't disturb them," the little furball lectured, feigning maturity.
Huaihuai asked, puzzled, "But why can't we kiss when we get home?"
Geng Geng explained in a serious tone, "It's said that in a confined space, the hormones between men and women will skyrocket..."
"..." Yi Tianran still knew how to be shy after all, and immediately opened the car door to stop them from continuing, "If you're too free, I don't mind having your dad assign you more homework!"
"Ah! Mommy's angry and embarrassed—"
Yi Tianran: "..." He's really asking for it, he needs to be taught a lesson.
She caught the three kids and brought them back to the room. She took out Su Mo's photo and gave them a task: "Help me break through the surveillance system of Linghua Noble School and find all the footage related to this older sister. Whoever finds something important will be rewarded with a supreme kiss!"
Upon hearing this, Geng Geng and Huai Huai both perked up, "Okay, Mommy!"
The little furball was the only one who wasn't very enthusiastic. After all, he had been by Yi Tianran's side for six years and had already received enough kisses.
"Mommy, can I get a different reward?"
Looking at the little furball's expression, Yi Tianran had a feeling he was about to cause trouble: "What do you want?"
The little furball asked with a grin, "If I complete the task, can Mommy reward me with a kiss by Daddy instead?"
Yi Tianran: "..." You really are my own son!
In the following hours, the three boys pulled up all the surveillance footage related to Su Mo, but they couldn't find anything unusual.
Alternatively, Su Mo's suicide may have had absolutely nothing to do with this school.
Or perhaps some things happen in blind spots of surveillance, and they cleverly avoid the cameras.
Yi Tianran prefers the latter.
According to the information she had, Su Mo rarely went out to play outside of school and home.
She is introverted, even withdrawn, and unwilling to interact with outsiders.
Therefore, the culprit that caused her pregnancy must be in this school.
Then she would have no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
"So, you need to ask me for a long leave to complete your mission." That evening, after hearing Yi Tianran's explanation, Fu Yunchen's dark eyes narrowed slightly. "Yi Tianran, so while you were working as my personal assistant, you were also doing detective work on the side. Is this your sincerity?"
