Chapter 239: Chapter 239

As Tu Hengsha’s figure appeared, Chen Qi immediately withdrew from his embrace, but the little boy remained clinging to his chest, holding onto his neck even tighter.

"Nuonuo, come to Mommy." Chen Qi reached to pull the child.

But the child clung to Su Ronggui’s body and couldn’t be pulled away.

"It’s fine." Su Ronggui picked up the child and turned to face Tu Hengsha.

In that moment, Tu Hengsha saw Chen Qi behind him; her face seemed to have several bruises, and a piece of gauze was taped to her jaw.

"You’re back?" Su Ronggui carried the child toward her while pinching the child’s chubby little hand, "Auntie is back! Let’s see what nice things Auntie brought."

The child in his arms pouted, but didn’t cry, and really followed his gesture to look at her.

Unexpectedly, he’s quite good at coaxing kids...

Except, she really didn’t bring anything good; she only had a camera on her back.

The child came up to her but was interested in the camera, both small hands reaching over to explore, and soon enough, the whole little body of warmth was leaning on her, drooling and tears all over her face.

"Alright, we’ll play later! Let’s eat first! Nuonuo, do you want to eat a drumstick?" He pulled the child back into his own arms, and with his other hand, he held her shoulder, "Tired?"

Not far away, Chen Qi subconsciously turned her head, hiding her face.

"Director Chen," Tu Hengsha called out.

Chen Qi couldn’t avoid it anymore; she smiled slightly at her, yet remained half-concealed, forcibly taking the child from Su Ronggui’s arms.

The child whimpered, reaching out to Su Ronggui but couldn’t reach, and immediately started crying loudly, "Want Uncle..."

"Be good, Mommy will take you to eat a drumstick!" Chen Qi quickly walked away with him.

Claiming to take him for a drumstick, she didn’t go to the table, but Sister Qian delivered the meal to the room where Fan Yue used to stay, and the mother and son ate inside the room.

"What exactly is going on?" Tu Hengsha asked at the dining table.

Sister Qian and Su Rongyu also looked curious, turning their eyes to the only one who knew anything, Su Ronggui, awaiting his response.

Su Ronggui, however, placed a wing on her plate, "Let’s eat first. How was your trip this time? Did everything go smoothly?"

"What’s not smooth about it for me?" Tu Hengsha picked up the bowl and began to eat quickly.

"Careful, you’ll choke! No one is competing with you! Why eat so fast?" His chopsticks, still holding food, had nowhere to place them since her head was practically buried in the bowl.

She struggled to swallow the rice in her mouth, "I still have editing to do! I need to finish eating and get home to work!"

"Work right here!" He finally placed the food into her bowl, "Eat slowly."

Su Rongyu couldn’t help but interject, "I say, brother, have you ever been in love? It’s so obvious, Second Sister-in-law is angry!"

"..." Tu Hengsha couldn’t help but roll her eyes; with Su Rongyu being so nosy, which eye of his saw that she was angry?

Su Ronggui was taken aback, "Angry?"

Su Rongyu looked at him like he was an idiot, "Second Brother, use your toes to think. If Second Sister-in-law was holding a man in her arms, wouldn’t you be angry?"

Su Ronggui thought for a moment, and served Tu Hengsha a bowl of soup, "I’ll explain later, don’t be upset! Let’s have a good meal."

"I’m really not angry..." How should she explain? Isn’t this basic trust they have?

But neither Mr. Su nor Su Rongyu believed it, and throughout the meal, they were attentively catering to her needs, as if they were about to feed her directly. After eating, they wouldn’t let her leave, saying they had bought a lot of snacks just for her to return and enjoy.

Honestly, not seeing him for a few days, Tu Hengsha did miss him a little, so she complied and worked in his room.

After comfortably soaking in a bath, she came out wearing a hoodie just like his. He had already prepared a big box of snacks and a plate of fruit on the desk. She yawned, claimed the desk, opened her laptop, and started working, while he stood by her side watching her edit.

Having someone watch while working felt just like a teacher keeping an eye on you doing homework, didn’t it? She covered the screen, raising her head with a slight smile, "Don’t look!"

"Okay, then I’ll go over there." He leaned down and bit her lip before leaving, settling in front of the small coffee table by the little sofa, pulling out his computer to start his work.

Once he started working, he was deeply focused and serious, with his back straight, eyebrows slightly lowered, lips with a faint line, giving him a more serious demeanor. Still exceedingly good-looking, even the occasional furrowing of his brows appeared quite cute, especially his slender and pale fingers tapping on the keyboard, even more attractive than her own hands.

The room instantly filled only with the sound of keys being struck and her rustling with the biscuit packaging.

She couldn’t help but smile a little, gently biting a biscuit. She was simply powerless to resist such an atmosphere. In the deep of night, under the dim yellow light, she and he didn’t have to do much or say much, just silently being there—him busy with his work, her with hers—that space belonging to them both was fulfilling enough. Such nights, even with gusty winds blowing outside, the room felt warm like spring.

She continued to eat and work; biscuit crumbs fell over the keyboard, and she frantically patted and wiped, failing to clean up, many crumbs got stuck in the keyboard gaps.

Nevertheless, she quickly gave up, as she had grown accustomed to it, not knowing how many fragments of various snacks she had dropped had accumulated in the keyboard crevices.

Pictures and videos were soon organized; she shut down her computer, noted he was still busy, hesitated about whether to call him, seeing as he seemed to be writing an article—not wanting to disturb his train of thought?

Slowly nibbling on a biscuit, while pondering, he glanced up and gestured, "Come here."

With a biscuit between her teeth and carrying the two large plates of fruits and snacks, she gleefully squeezed next to him, peeking at his computer, "Writing commentary?"

"Yeah."

The reviews he wrote were always lengthy, better not disturb him!

"Then I’ll head back first, okay? I’ll ask Su Rongyu to take me." She knew he wouldn’t let her leave alone and Su Rongyu seemed to find a fresh joy in cottage life these days, reluctant to leave.

"Wait and go later, I’ll take you." He reached out to grasp her waist, pulling her into his arms, sighing, "What have you been eating outside these days, your waist has become so much thicker."

"..." She wasn’t pleased, pouting her lips. Daring to say your girlfriend is fat, Su Ronggui, your survival instinct isn’t very strong! She bit the biscuit hanging between her lips and stuffed it into his mouth.

He chuckled, opening his mouth to eat it, pinched her face, "Don’t be upset, I’m not stopping you from eating."

"..." Was not eating the reason she was upset?

Suddenly his breath came close, brushing against her face, the stubble pricking, leaving her feeling ticklish and numb, a bit painful.

"No..." She wanted to say, aren’t you complaining about me getting fat? Only managed to get two words out, then couldn’t say anything more, the anger dissipating gradually.

After a long while, as he rubbed his face against her neck and shoulder, a muffled voice asked, "Did you miss me these past few days?"
