CHAPTER 22: CHAPTER 22 SHE IS HIS AMULET

"And what good would telling him do?" Su Wanxin slowed down her eating, looking at Mu Suyu with grave seriousness, "Some things are just unattainable. Knowing that it’s impossible but still doing it, why embarrass oneself?"

"Why can’t you get what you want?" Mu Suyu didn’t understand. "He was your boyfriend once, right? Didn’t you two... even have a child?"

Mentioning the child, Su Wanxin lost her composure for a brief moment. But she quickly recovered and smiled thinly.

"Having a child is useless; so is him being my boyfriend. Fu Shihan is fine in every aspect, but there’s one flaw - he doesn’t have me in his heart."

Su Wanxin never denied that Fu Shihan liked her, but liking isn’t the same as love, as being the only one.

Su Wanxin arrived at the Fu Family when she was just seven. Back then, she didn’t understand much, only hearing that the Eldest Young Master of the Fu Family was confronted with a deadly fate and needed someone with a matching birth horoscope to stay by his side to turn danger into safety.

And she was the "Amulet" the Fu Family found after searching through orphanages nationwide.

From age 7 to 21, she lived with Fu Shihan for 15 years. From the forceful kiss and confession in junior high school to openly dating when she went to university, and then giving birth to their child upon her graduation.

Throughout this entire process, Fu Shihan was always good to her, perfectly so. However, he never let anyone else know of her identity, of their relationship, and he never brought up the matter of marriage.

He liked her, but he would not marry her, nor would he let others know she was his girlfriend. No matter how much he liked her, she was still just an orphan. The person destined to marry into the Fu Family was never going to be someone of her status.

"You know about my health condition as well; I’m not even sure how long I can live. So, let the Fu Family hate me all they want, I don’t care."

Su Wanxin smiled serenely, causing Mu Suyu’s eyes to redden, "Don’t talk nonsense, with Zhan Che by your side, nothing will happen to you!"

"Zhan Che is a doctor, not a deity; let’s not add to his burden. I came back this time just to uncover the truth about the past, and also to see the people at the Fu Family one more time. After all, they were so good to me, I can’t bear to leave."

The Fu Family was genuinely good to her, to the extent that she, knowing she would be a target of their animosity, still gathered the courage to return.

After finishing her late-night snack, Su Wanxin went back to her room. She took a bath, lay on the bed, and reflected on everything that happened that day.

News of her job at Su’s Fund must have already reached Shen Xiaochen’s ears. She could have impressed with an executive position, but Fu Shihan turned the tables, relegating her to a lowly clerical worker.

Su Wanxin sighed deeply and closed her eyes to rest. The next day at work, she was glad not to see Fu Shihan come to cause trouble.

In the afternoon, in the parking lot of Fu Group.

Having just finished his work, Fu Shihan was planning to check in at Su’s Fund when Sheng Qian blocked his path.

"It’s rare to see you skipping work. Where are you planning to go?" Sheng Qian asked with a flirtatious smile, blocking Fu Shihan’s way, "Going to see Su Wanxin?"

"Move aside."

"Tsk, how heartless." Sheng Qian brazenly followed him. "Take me with you. I’ve been idle lately, nothing to do."

After speaking, she reached to open the passenger’s side door, only to be stopped by Fu Shihan’s words.

"Get in the back."

Sheng Qian: "..."

All her life, no man had ever dared to speak to her like that.

Okay, impressive, not someone to mess with.

If it’s the back, then it’s the back. What’s the big deal?
