Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 242: The Heart of an Old Father

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: The Heart of an Old Father

They were woken up by the sound of Tu Hengsha’s phone, the alarm ringing, and both reached out to turn it off at the same time, but he got to it first.

Tu Hengsha, still half-asleep, continued to snuggle into his arms, but suddenly realized something was off. How was she sleeping with Mr. Su? Her first thought was: Did anything happen? Did something really happen?

Her second thought quickly followed: nothing happened. She just fell asleep hugging Mr. Su.

The third thought was: Oh no, I didn’t go home again; I still owe that checkup...

The fourth thought: she finally saw the phone in Mr. Su’s hand and, feeling guilty, she immediately reached out to grab it.

If she hadn’t tried to grab it, it might not have been a big deal, but her attempt made it obvious something was up! Mr. Su, being a suspicious person, immediately wondered if there was a secret on the phone that she didn’t want him to know. So he was more determined to check it.

Quickly unlocking it, the screen showed a Baidu page, and in their tussle, he saw what she’d searched for: the best men’s hospital...

What was with the men’s hospital?

He glared at her.

She was fully awake now, and seeing it was useless to resist, she gave in, "I’m going to wash my face, take your time looking..."

And he would take his time looking!

He went ahead and checked her search history, which included: Is there something wrong if my boyfriend doesn’t want me? Does my boyfriend not want me because he has a psychological issue? What to do if my boyfriend has problems? And especially, the search results for what to do if your boyfriend has problems had a bunch of answers suggesting breaking up! And as if that wasn’t enough, she actually searched another question right after: Should I break up or try to save him if my boyfriend has problems? Then she started searching hospitals...

Tu Hengsha was brushing her teeth in the bathroom when she suddenly heard an angry shout from outside, "Tu Hengsha! Get out here!"

"..." She continued brushing her teeth, thinking she wasn’t stupid enough to go out now...

When Tu Hengsha sat in the dining room, only Chen Qi was there. The others hadn’t arrived, and Su Ronggui was still in his bathroom.

At this moment, Tu Hengsha got a clear look at the wounds on Chen Qi’s face, which was indeed shocking. The day before, he’d avoided everyone, not wanting to be seen, but now he faced her directly, even giving a slight smile. However, the smile pulled at his injuries, making it a bit awkward.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, making it a bit awkward.

It was Tu Hengsha who broke the silence first, "Is the kid still sleeping?"

"Yes..." Chen Qi replied softly, "Sorry for the trouble."

"No trouble at all," she responded politely. There really wasn’t any trouble; it was Su Ronggui who was busy with everything.

Chen Qi seemed hesitant, struggling with what to say, but finally spoke, "Tu Hengsha, don’t misunderstand. Yesterday when you came back, it was because my daughter, Nuonuo, fell in the garden. Su Ronggui and I both went to help, and I didn’t squat properly, so my daughter and I almost fell over together. Su Ronggui helped us up, and that was when you saw us."

Tu Hengsha didn’t expect Chen Qi to come over and explain; why did everyone in the world think she’d misunderstand? She chuckled, "No, I didn’t misunderstand at all."

"That’s good," Chen Qi smiled again, "because I heard you two seemed to argue last night..."

So, did Chen Qi show up early in the morning just to explain to her?

She waved her hand, unconcerned, "This is just routine for Mr. Su and me. We can’t go a day without some fussing!"

"That’s good..." Chen Qi seemed relieved, "I thought I caused you trouble! Su Ronggui doesn’t talk much, but he’s very upright and reliable. I didn’t know who to turn to after what happened, but he’s one of the few I know who is trustworthy, so I went to him. I’ve already caused him enough trouble, and if it also affected you, I’d truly be mortified..." Actually, she not only heard them fighting last night but also heard her name being mentioned...

"No worries, truly no worries!" As she said this, Su Ronggui and his brother Su Rongyu came over. She waved, "Mr. Su, morning... Mr. Su is really looking handsome today!"

Flattery goes a long way, so better butter up Mr. Su and hope he forgets about Baidu searches...

Su Rongyu chimed in, "When does my second brother ever not look handsome?"

Tu Hengsha looked at Su Rongyu’s youthful, round face, still with a bit of baby fat, and she couldn’t help but see a bit of Xiao Xu from years ago. She couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch him, "You’re even more handsome..."

"Giggle...," Su Rongyu blushed and leaned over, wanting to nuzzle in Tu Hengsha’s hand like a puppy.

However, before Tu Hengsha could touch him, a pair of chopsticks came down and smacked her hand, reddening the skin immediately.

She rubbed her hand and was about to glare at Mr. Su, but seeing his dark expression, remembering last night’s search history, she wisely swallowed her retort. When Mr. Su sat next to her, she quietly shifted her chair a bit away.

"Where are you going?" Mr. Su scolded.

She reluctantly moved closer again.

Chen Qi, sitting across from them, watched the scene unfold, slightly surprised and lost in thought.

Sister Qian started bringing breakfast, including Tu Hengsha’s shrimp steamed egg.

When Su Rongyu saw it, he reached to take it, but Su Ronggui scolded him, "Put it down!" and then placed a bowl of plain boiled eggs in front of him.

"Hey! Just one serving? That’s favoritism!" Su Rongyu protested.

"There are two servings," Sister Qian explained with a smile, "One for Nuonuo and one for Miss Tu."

"Are you a kid?" Su Ronggui asked him.

"Then is the second sister-in-law a kid? She’s still my second sister-in-law!"

"Eat it or not, if not, go home and eat!"

"..." Su Rongyu was at a loss for words.

While the brothers argued, Tu Hengsha picked out the shrimp to eat, leaving the eggs behind.

In the midst of bickering, Mr. Su noticed this, grabbed her bowl, took her spoon, and fed her bites of the tender egg.

She opened her mouth reluctantly; was there anything more frustrating? She didn’t like eggs but couldn’t escape eating them...

One bowl of smooth egg custard was quickly fed to her, leaving her in a foul mood.

Chen Qi had averted her gaze, but now couldn’t help turning back to watch this, suddenly laughing, "Su Ronggui, didn’t know you and your girlfriend act like she’s your daughter."

Su Ronggui put down the bowl, looking at his girlfriend with a fatherly gaze, "Can’t help it. She’s just so worry-inducing; if I don’t keep an eye on her, all sorts of things happen."

Chen Qi laughed, tugged at her injuries again, which still felt odd.

After breakfast, Su Ronggui and Tu Hengsha had to go to work, and Su Rongyu had to go out too, making the table suddenly very quiet.

Chen Qi sat alone drinking porridge as the outside looked gloomy and cold. From outside, came Tu Hengsha’s complaints, "I told you not to add more sweaters, and insisted on bundling me up. Now I’m like a bear and can’t even lift the camera!"

"Give it to me, I’ll carry it," Su Ronggui’s voice was gentle and deep.

Biting the porcelain spoon, Chen Qi’s expression turned a bit somber.
