He asked tentatively: "Can you take Tiantian and me back to meet the elders during this New Year?"
Fu Yichen seemed to be surprised that she would make such a request. Then, he turned his head to look at Su Suyun.
The anticipation on her face suddenly made him understand something.
Su Suyun felt uncomfortable when he looked at her. She lifted her hair awkwardly and smiled awkwardly, "I just think this daughter-in-law is incompetent. If it's inconvenient, forget it. Actually... I also heard that your hometown is very beautiful, and I want to go and see it."
"Sorry." Fu Yichen raised his thin lips, and then slowly said: "Tiantian, I don't know how to explain to the elders."
"…" When Su Suyun mentioned the child, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. In the end, she smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
The carriage returned to its previous tranquility.
However, he was a little more depressed than before. Fu Yichen remained silent for a long time, as if thinking about something.
Su Suyun's heart was tense and she looked at him several times, but she had no idea what he was thinking at the moment.
I don’t know how long it took…
"Suyun." Fu Yichen suddenly spoke.
Those two words were full of earnestness, as if they were about to make a major decision. For some reason, Su Suyun's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at him.
"Let's... finish it."
As if she had received a huge blow, Su Suyun froze on the spot, and even stopped breathing. The hand holding Tiantian was trembling slightly.
She only felt a buzzing in her ears. His words just now kept echoing in her ears, pricking her brain nerves like needles.
His lips trembled several times, and his breathing became heavier.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and finally seemed to find her voice, "End...what does that mean?"
"Since the President has already decided to resign, I don't have to stay any longer." Fu Yichen continued, "I'm already going through the formalities of going to Country M. After the New Year, I plan to go to a hospital in Country M..."
"What do you mean Mr. President resigns? You don't have to stay any longer? You are just doing this for Chi Weiyang, right?" Su Suyun was very emotional and interrupted him.
Fu Yichen paused. Compared to her excitement, his emotions remained calm.
After a long while, he said softly, "I can't really leave her alone abroad. She can't take care of herself."
The simple sentence "you can't take care of yourself" made Su Suyun extremely jealous.
"But have you ever thought that she doesn't actually need you? She went to Country M to avoid you. If you go there now, aren't you forcing her?"
Fu Yichen's hands gripping the steering wheel tightened a lot.
It was so tight that the veins on the back of my hand were prominent.
After a long while, he said bitterly: "Even if she really doesn't need me, I will quietly guard her."
"But... maybe she already has a boyfriend in Country M? If you quit your job and go there suddenly, it will only cause her more trouble." Su Suyun became anxious and spoke faster.
She...maybe has a boyfriend
yes…
Even if I don’t have one now, I will always have a boyfriend in the future…
Just thinking about this possibility makes my heart ache.
But…
"I won't think too much now. I just know that I can't let her stay alone in a strange place." Fu Yichen turned his head to look at Su Suyun, his eyes cold and a little bitter, "You know what? Ever since she went to Country M, I have been having the same dream over and over again. I dreamed that she was walking barefoot on a dark street alone... She was lost, and she couldn't get out of that short dark road..."
The more he spoke, the heavier and more depressing his tone became.
His eyes gradually turned red. "She was calling my name. She kept calling me... But where was I at that time?"
"But this is just your dream! In reality, maybe she no longer loves you and she doesn't want you to appear in her world at all!"
"... Maybe." Fu Yichen replied sadly. He still remembered what she said to him in Country M that day, and every word pierced his heart. But... "I just want to be closer to her, just in case... just in case one day she needs someone, I can be the first person to appear in front of her."
"So what if you've done so much?" Su Suyun felt jealous, and her voice unconsciously rose a little, "But, maybe she doesn't appreciate your kindness at all! Besides, are you confident that she really doesn't mind your past at all? Don't forget, Yichen, you've not only been in jail, you've also been..."
As he said this, there was a sharp brake sound and Fu Yichen suddenly stopped the car.
It was so sudden that Su Suyun fell forward. The child in her arms was tightly trapped by the safety belt and her hands, so nothing happened.
Beside him, Fu Yichen's face was pale and gloomy, and his breathing was heavy. Her last words, which she had not yet said, obviously pierced his heart. His hands gripping the steering wheel became tighter and heavier, and his knuckles turned white.
Su Suyun was so frightened by his behavior that she held her breath and calmed down.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Yichen..." Su Suyun said, feeling guilty and uneasy. "I didn't mean to bring up those things. It's just..."
"Get out of the car..." Fu Yichen's voice seemed to be floating in the air. A little empty. "I'm not in good condition now. It will be dangerous to take my car."
He leaned over and opened the car door. "Wait on the side of the road. I'll arrange for another driver to pick you up."
While speaking, he didn't even want to look at Su Suyun.
Su Suyun's eyes suddenly turned red. She held his hand, unwilling to let go. "Yi Chen, you know I didn't mean to hurt you."
"I'm just tired." Fu Yichen slowly pulled her hand away from his. Then he lifted his eyelids and looked at her calmly, "This is no longer harmful. I dream about that dirty thing every month..."
Every month, he was tortured repeatedly in his dreams. So... he thought, he was probably numb...
"You are just reminding me to stay awake..."
Seeing him like this, Su Suyun called him distressedly, "Yi Chen..."
"See you another day."
The order to expel guests couldn't be more obvious.
Su Suyun was worried and annoyed.
"What about you? I've asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes. I'll cook your favorite dish for you tonight..."
"You are a lawyer. Do you want to prepare the divorce agreement yourself or should I do it?"
Su Suyun bit her lip.
There was nothing more to say. She just looked at Fu Yichen for a long time, and seeing that he was indifferent, she finally pushed open the car door and got out.
