Li Qianxue hated the feeling of things getting out of control. She liked to have everything within her grasp.
Recently, Su Chenghui’s actions had far exceeded her control.
The sun was setting, and the night wind was blowing gently. When Li Qianxue came out today, she did not tie her hair. A few strands of hair flew over from the back.
Su Chenghui didn’t respond to her. He raised his hand and gently pulled her hair behind her ear.
“Are you tired? You seem to have waited for a long time. Are you hungry? Let’s have dinner together?”
“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue waved his hand away. “Can you stay away from me?”
Su Chenghui’s hand was waved in the air by her, and he gently put it down. He looked at her and spoke very seriously.
“I can’t.”
“You –”
“My heart is full of you.” Su Chenghui pressed on the position of his heart. “My heart told me that if I was far away from you, I would die.”
“Then you can just die.” Li Qianxue was very angry and blurted out without thinking.
Su Chenghui’s facial expression was ugly. At this moment, the air was as silent as death. Su Chenghui stood there, as if his entire being had sunk into darkness.
After Li Qianxue finished speaking, there was silence. The air suddenly became silent.
The two of them stood in the night wind and did not speak. Li Qianxue lowered her eyes. Her eyes were watery, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Su Chenghui stood across from her. His hand, which was still in mid-air earlier, slowly lowered, then clenched into a fist.
At this time, the phone rang, breaking the silence in front of him. Li Qianxue picked up the phone unusually quickly.
“Yuxin?” When Li Qianxue picked up the phone, she glanced at Su Chenghui. Then, he turned around and walked to the other side.
“You’re back? Didn’t you say that you had something to do at school?”
“Why didn’t you let Xiao Yin pick you up? You didn’t even tell me in advance.”
Although Li Qianxue’s tone was filled with complaints, it was not difficult to hear the gentleness in her voice.
Su Chenghui stood not far from her and watched as Li Qianxue spoke to Su Yuxin in such a gentle tone. He felt complicated emotions.
He did not know when Qianxue would use such a gentle voice to speak to him like this?
How long would he have to wait?
“Okay. Mommy will be back soon.”
Li Qianxue hung up the phone and headed to the parking lot. Su Chenghui followed behind her.
“Yuxin is back?”
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue with a gentle gaze.
“Yes.” Li Qianxue answered reluctantly. Su Chenghui looked at her side profile and suddenly said, “Qianxue, I won’t die.”
Li Qianxue stopped, then immediately sped up as if nothing had happened. She walked faster than before.
“I still want to be with you. Whether you need it or not, I want to be with you all the time, so I won’t die.”
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue, who had already walked to the front of the car. “At least, I won’t die easily before I see your true happiness.”
What he hoped the most was that he was the one who brought her happiness.
Li Qianxue, whose hand was already on the car door, suddenly turned around and looked at him because of his words.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at him with an extremely cold gaze. “Su Chenghui, all my misfortunes were brought to me by you. You really don’t have the right to say this.”
..
Li Qianxue was happy because Su Yuxin had gone home last night, so she chatted with Su Yuxin until it was very late. She accidentally overslept when she woke up in the morning.
When she went downstairs, she saw Su chenghui and Su Yuxin sitting in the living room playing chess. Old Master Li sat at the side and watched the scene.
Li Qianxue woke up early in the morning. The happiness that she had felt because her son had returned home had disappeared without a trace.
She glanced at the three men and finally forced herself to turn around in the direction of the restaurant. During breakfast, the irritation in Li Qianxue’s heart did not disappear. Instead, it became more intense.
Before this, she wouldn’t have felt this way.
During that year, no matter how many times Su Chenghui appeared in front of her, she could still remain calm.
But now, it seemed that something was different.
In the past, she didn’t stop Su Chenghui from getting close to the children, nor did she stop Su Yuxin from getting close to the two children. There was no reason for her to come and cut off the relationship between the father and son now, right?
Such a thing was against her nature, so she couldn’t do it.
But she was indeed very frustrated in her heart. Her eyebrows tightly knitted together, Li Qianxue sat at the dining table.
Su Chenghui, Su Chenghui. Is it so hard to kick you out of my life? I really don’t believe it.
When Li Qianxue returned to the living room, Su Chenghui and Su Yuxin had just finished their game. Su Chenghui was putting away the chess pieces in the box.
Old Master Li looked at his grandson. “Yuxin, you’ve been busy for more than half a year, haven’t you? I feel like your chess skills have deteriorated.”
“It’s not that my skills have deteriorated. It’s that Dad has improved.” Su Yuxin put away the chess pieces with a subtle smile on his face.
“Yuxin is probably too busy.” Su Chenghui found an excuse for Su Yuxin. “He’s busy with his studies. How could he have time to learn how to play chess?”
“Yes, after all, not everyone is like you. You put aside your official business and do superfluous things every day.”
Li Qianxue couldn’t bear to see Su Chenghui scolding Su Yuxin, so she couldn’t help but criticize him. Su Chenghui put the last chess piece back into the chess box. He looked up at Li Qianxue.
“To me, getting you back is the most important official business.”
This sudden confession made Su Yuxin and Old Master Li silent. The two of them couldn’t help but look in Li Qianxue’s direction.
Li Qianxue didn’t know how to respond to Su Chenghui’s words. Seeing the way her son looked at her, she said without thinking.
“Yuxin, it’s good that you’re back. I’ll bring you into the company tomorrow to take a look. For the next few days, help me look after the company.”
“Mom?”
“Since you’re back, I’ll have time to visit your sister. Besides, I also want to think about them and miss them.”
“Qianxue.” Old Master Li looked at Li Qianxue disapprovingly. However, Li Qianxue didn’t want to stay any longer. She headed straight for the main door.
Su Yuxin got up and wanted to chase after her. Su Chenghui held his shoulder, shook his head at him, and took the lead to follow her out.
Li Qianxue’s footsteps were very fast, and she walked in a hurry.
Su Chenghui’s footsteps were even bigger than hers. When she reached the garden, he blocked her way.
“Qianxue?”
“Qianxue.”
“Get out of my way.” The last thing Li Qianxue wanted to see was Su Chenghui’s face.
“I won’t let you.” Su Chenghui blocked her way. “If you’re unhappy with me, you can take it out on me. Why are you taking it out on Yuxin?”
“How did I take it out on Yuxin?”
“You’re leaving just because he came back? What do you want Yuxin to think?”
“Who caused me to leave? Wasn’t it you?”
“Qianxue, be reasonable. You said that you wouldn’t stop me from getting close to my child. Yuxin is my son. Since he’s back, it’s normal for me to come and see him.”
“Yes, it’s very normal, so you can go and see him. I don’t object.” Her eyes cold and stern, Li Qianxue took a step back. “You two father and son are happy to see each other, and I’m leaving. Isn’t that what you want?”
“Qianxue, don’t be like this.” Su Chenghui didn’t understand what Li Qianxue was angry about. “You wouldn’t take it out on him in the past. What’s wrong with you?”
“What’s wrong with me? Didn’t I imitate you?” Li Qianxue actually knew that what she did was wrong.
However, when she saw Su Chenghui and Su Yuxin sitting together playing chess, and Old Master Li watched from the side, at that moment, she actually had a feeling that nothing had changed. Everything was still the same as before.
She actually had the feeling as if she and Su Chenghui had never divorced before. She was still his wife, and he was her husband.
The Li family was still the same as before, and Su Chenghui was still the same as before. Everything was the same.
This feeling made her very annoyed, so she didn’t even think about it and said sarcastically, “Besides, am I not copying you? You hate me for forcing you to get married, so you swapped my child. Weren’t you also venting your anger? What right do you have to criticize me?”
The morning sun shone on the two of them, but the atmosphere was like yesterday. Suddenly, there was silence.
Su Chenghui’s face turned deathly pale because of Li Qianxue’s words.
He stood there. Even the sun could not make his face more sunny.
Li Qianxue was suddenly silent. She finished talking and fought back, but she did not feel happy.
She had once thought that she was willing to use this method to attack Su Chenghui.
She had been in so much pain, so she wanted to make him suffer even more. She had clearly decided not to be that kind of person, and also not to do that kind of thing, but why did she become like this now.
Her heart was in pain. Her heart felt like it was being suffocated.
She couldn’t stay any longer and was about to leave. At this moment, Su Chenghui suddenly grabbed her hand.
“Qianxue.”
Su Chenghui held her wrist tightly and she couldn’t break free. She could only turn her face away and not look at Su Chenghui.
“I know what I’ve done and the mistakes I’ve made. No matter what I say and go, you won’t forgive me.”
“I also know that you don’t want to see me.”
His heart ached, as if someone had stabbed him with a needle. “Qianxue, you hate me. You won’t forgive me. You don’t have to see me. It’s fine. But please don’t take it out on others just because I’ve taken it out on you before. I know that taking it out on others won’t make you happier.”
For so many years, he had the pain of having nightmares in the middle of the night, and regret after waking up, but there was no way to tell anyone about it.
He knew all those emotions, so he didn’t want her to be like him.
“Qianxue, if you really don’t want to see me, I can meet Yuxin outside. You Don’t have to go. I’ll go.”
As he spoke, he slowly let go of her hand. Li Qianxue, still not looking at him, still stood there expressionlessly.
He smiled bitterly. Some things could not be done.
He turned around and his footsteps extremely slow, he left. Not even turning her head to look at him, Li Qianxue stood still. Until Su Chenghui’s figure disappeared into the garden.
..
Since Su Chenghui did not appear, Li Qianxue naturally did not need to go to Su Qingsang’s place in Rong City to avoid him.
Li Qianxue was happy that her son was back, but she still had to do what she should do.
She brought Su Yuxin to the company for an internship and handed some important matters over to Su Yuxin to handle. She also wanted him to understand some of the big projects that the company was currently carrying out. Among them was City Star.
“This design is pretty good.” Su Yuxin looked at the construction site that was progressing well and her eyes were filled with admiration. “Our team is still very capable to be able to come up with such a plan.”
Li Qianxue’s expression instantly became a little subtle. This proposal was made by Su Chenghui.
“Mom, who is the person who designed this? I want to meet him.” Su Yuxin was going to take over the company in the future, and he needed to have an understanding of some of the key talents in the company. “If there’s a chance, I’ll go to the construction site to take a look.”
Li Qianxue’s expression became more ambivalent. Under Su Yuxin’s somewhat puzzled gaze, she pulled back the document in his hand. “This proposal was made by your father.”
“Huh?”
After Li Qianxue said that, she didn’t want to say anymore. Su Yuxin looked at her expression carefully. “So it was my father? But father and you, it was the company –”
“Okay, that’s it for today. If you want to go to the construction site, you can go in the afternoon.”
Li Qianxue didn’t want to talk about Su Chenghui. Ever since in the garden that day, she said those words, which angered Su Chenghui and drove him away, she hadn’t seen Su Chenghui again.
Su Chenghui wasn’t the only one who hadn’t appeared in the past few days. Luo Cheng had stopped looking for her. Even Wei Ting was nowhere to be found.
Her world suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that she couldn’t help but wonder if this silence had anything to do with Su Chenghui.
“I have an appointment with a friend in the afternoon. After I have dinner with my friend, I’ll go to the construction site to take a look at it at night.”
“What’s there to see at night?” Li Qianxue looked at Su Yuxin with a disapproving expression. “You can go and see it during the day.”
“No, you can see it better at night.” Su Yuxin stood up as he spoke. “Alright, Mom, you go ahead. I will go by myself after I meet my friend.”
“You.” Li Qianxue had no choice. “Remember to drive slowly and not too fast.”
“Got it.”
Su Yuxin left, but Li Qianxue wasn’t in the mood to deal with the company’s matters after he left. Su Chenghui’s face flashed through her mind.
Had he really decided not to show up again?
His persistence was only so much. Fortunately, she didn’t let down her guard. Li Qianxue convinced herself.
After Li Qianxue went home for dinner, it started to rain outside.
Looking at the time, she thought that Su Yuxin should have finished his gathering with her friends by now. It was raining outside, so Li Qianxue decided to call him and ask him to go straight home.
It was raining heavily, so she didn’t want to go to the construction site. She could go to the construction site anytime. She wasn’t in a hurry.
When Li Qianxue called Su Yuxin’s cell phone, but no one picked up. After that, she made a few calls, but no one picked up. Suddenly, she couldn’t sit still anymore.
“Qianxue? What’s wrong?” Old Master Li, who was also in the living room, was playing chess. When he saw his daughter’s uneasy look, he couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s nothing.” Li Qianxue shook her head. She looked at the time and sat up. “Dad, I’m going out for a while. You should rest first.”
As she spoke, she asked someone to get the car ready. She took her cell phone and went out.
