Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 245 - 236 Deep Affection and Righteousness

Chapter 245: Chapter 236 Deep Affection and Righteousness

When the two brothers came to the dining room together, Su Rongyu was already wearing his new sweater.

Everyone’s attention, including Sister Qian, seemed to sweep over the sweater, but Tu Hengsha’s gaze swept over Chen Qi.

Children are the most guileless, pointing at Su Rongyu and said, "This sweater is what my mom bought for Uncle Su."

Su Rongyu picked up a chicken wing and smiled, "I am Uncle Su!"

"No, it’s for this Uncle Su." Nuonuo pointed at Su Ronggui again.

"He’s my brother, what’s his is mine." Su Rongyu continued to tease him.

Nuonuo furrowed his little brows, "No, Mom said you can’t take other people’s things."

Chen Qi couldn’t let Nuonuo continue talking, quickly stopping him, "Nuonuo, if someone is willing to give it, then it can be taken, Uncle Su is the brother of this little Uncle Su, he can give it to him."

Nuonuo’s little brows were still furrowed, and after a while, he slid off his chair, walked to Tu Hengsha’s side, and tugged her sleeve, "Auntie, then can you give Uncle Su to me as a dad? I want Uncle Su as a dad."

A brief silence prevailed in the air.

Chen Qi suddenly got angry and picked Nuonuo up, "What nonsense are you talking? You can’t just randomly choose a dad!" Then she laughed embarrassingly, "Sorry, children’s words carry no harm, they speak nonsense, don’t take it to heart, I’ll take him back to the room."

Nuonuo was carried off crying, and the atmosphere in the dining room didn’t recover for a while.

Tu Hengsha stood up with a smile, serving a bowl of soup to both brothers and Sister Qian, "Come, come, try my cooking! I grew up on this kind of hodgepodge!"

As a child, not knowing how to cook, the simplest way was to throw all sorts of ingredients together, and over the years, she had developed some skills at making them palatable.

"I’ll take some food over to the mother and son," Sister Qian said, after finishing the soup. She got up and filled two large bowls with various dishes, then headed to the guest room on the west side.

In the guest room, Nuonuo had stopped crying, but clung to Chen Qi looking very aggrieved.

Sister Qian put down the food and sat down herself, reaching out to Nuonuo, "Good Nuonuo, I’ll feed you, let Mom eat too, okay?"

Nuonuo shook his head, unwilling to leave his mother’s lap, so Sister Qian fed him as he was.

Chen Qi, being a very perceptive person, saw this and spoke directly, "Sister Qian, do you have something to say to me?"

Indeed, Sister Qian had come for this reason, but being confronted so suddenly made it hard for her to find the words.

"I know what you want to say," Chen Qi’s eyes reddened, "Don’t worry, I’m not a shameless person, I just... just..."

She looked up to hold back her tears, then smiled tearfully, "He’s such a good person, who wouldn’t like him? You all don’t know what I’ve been through with him. These past years, I’ve often teamed up with him to run news stories and conduct investigations, I’ve been with him to snowy mountains, highlands, disaster areas. We faced avalanches, narrowly surviving, it was him who carried me back to camp; nearly died from altitude sickness, yet he stayed by my side throughout; went into earthquake disaster areas, a aftershock collapsed a building, trapping me in the debris, and it was him and the rescue team who dug me out... Every time I felt despair, hope was rekindled, each time it was he who gave me that hope. Such experiences will not happen again in this lifetime, nor will they happen with anyone else. Truly a life-and-death experience, it’s hard not to like him, especially since I married a scumbag, and this time, when the scumbag almost killed me, it was he who saved me. Sister Qian, you’re a woman too, can a woman not love such a man?"

Sister Qian fed Nuonuo a spoonful of rice, her expression indifferent, "Since that’s the case, Mr. Su has been so good to you, you are thinking of repaying his kindness with betrayal?"

Chen Qi gave a bitter smile, "Where do I want to repay kindness with betrayal? If I really wanted to, I would have done it long ago, before Tu Hengsha came along. I know my place; I’m not a naive little girl living in dreams. I clearly understand that everything he and I have been through, everything he did for me, was only because I’m his colleague, his work partner. If it were anyone else, he would have done the same. To me, what we went through together comes with unmeasurable value, but to him, it’s just a part of his duty. What does thrilling adventures matter? What does life and death together matter? In this long river of life, the person slowly counting time with him will surely be someone else, someone he likes, and it won’t be me. They will do mundane things every day, cook meals, do laundry, talk about pointless topics, he will feed her, remind her to dress warmly, buy her snacks, afraid she might be hungry, afraid she might be cold, and when she’s not around, he’s worried if she’s safe on the way home. They will also argue, quarrel over things they dislike eating, complain about how many layers they wear... These are the things that are enviable, the mundane but real, this is what lasts forever. So-called love can only be everlasting in trivial everyday things..."

"Then why did you still..." Sister Qian suddenly remembered the sweater in the morning.

Chen Qi let out a long sigh, "It’s just that I..." smiling bitterly again, "It was a momentary lapse of reason. I did think, since I’m destined to not have him, to leave a memento with him, so my feelings have some place to hold onto, but looking back now, I was indeed being foolish. Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble; I’ll find a place to move out as soon as possible."

Sister Qian felt a bit reluctant, "It’s not about driving you out. I also don’t have the authority to drive you out, this is Mr. Su’s house, I’m just a helper. I’m a simple person, Mr. Su and Miss Tu are so good, I just want them to be well, don’t want them unhappy. What you told me stays between us, just don’t mention it in front of Mr. Su, and it’ll be fine. You’re still injured, and the child is scared, take your time to recover. As for moving out, don’t discuss it with me, Mr. Su hasn’t implied any intention to have you move."

"Who else can I talk to?" Chen Qi’s eyes turned red again, "I’m not really talking to you, I’m just talking to myself. For years, these words have been pressed deep inside, heavy and burdensome. I used to think that slowly, over time, they’d be forgotten, but I was wrong. Time didn’t dull them, it accumulated, until it blocked my chest, almost causing me to do something wrong, and today, I indeed did do wrong? Speaking about it feels good, a relief to say it out loud, but it was just this once, I won’t say it again. If I do, I might hurt myself. I’ve been hurt enough in this life, I won’t foolishly stab myself again."

"Mom, what are you talking about? When did you stab yourself?" Of so many words, Nuonuo heard none, except for the last, which gave him great worry for his mom.

Chen Qi wiped the rice from his lips and gently said, "No, Mom didn’t stab herself; Mom was just using a figure of speech. See, Mom doesn’t even have a knife, how could I stab myself?"

Nuonuo thought it over, found that Mom was right, nodded, and obediently got off the ground, "Mom, I’ll eat by myself, you eat too."

Chen Qi looked at her son, smiled slightly, "Nuonuo, having you is enough for Mom in this life."
