Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Father and Daughter

"Really?" Shen Lin’an’s expression suddenly brightened, even showing a hint of delight. "Then let me know the time and I’ll pick up your father."

"Mm."

This time, Shen Lin’an didn’t linger around like a clingy plaster; he left on his own.

"Madam!" Lianyi pressed down on Su Qingnuan’s shoulder, looking at her disapprovingly.

Su Qingnuan chuckled lightly. "It’s fine. I know what I’m doing."

After all, he was her father. If it weren’t for his care all these years, Su Qingnuan wouldn’t even know how she’d managed to get by.

Upon hearing her words, Lianyi sighed silently and said no more.

The three still went out for a good meal, but on the way back, Lianyi remained mostly quiet.

"Lianyi." Su Qingnuan placed her hand over Lianyi’s, smiling lightly. "Do you think I’m useless?"

Lianyi paused, glanced at her, but didn’t refute.

Su Qingnuan looked out the window and let out a soft laugh. "Actually, all these years, the only person in the Su family who cared for me was my father. I don’t know why my mother hates me, but I know that family has never welcomed me."

Her hand carried a coolness that seeped into the heart.

Lianyi frowned slightly, tightening her grip on Su Qingnuan’s hand and murmured, "Sister-in-law, you’re wonderful."

Su Qingnuan turned her head to glance at their clasped hands and sighed. "If only you were my sister, that would’ve been great."

"....."

Lianyi didn’t respond, she simply gripped Su Qingnuan’s hand even more firmly.

Before long, they arrived at home.

After stepping off the car, Su Qingnuan suddenly stopped, pulling Lianyi to a halt.

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?"

Under the faint glow of the night, Su Qingnuan’s eyes shimmered with a weak gleam. She hesitated before saying, "About me meeting my father, don’t tell Mr. Fu."

"Huh? Why?" Lianyi asked curiously. "Aren’t you planning to bring Mr. Fu along?"

Su Qingnuan shook her head.

They weren’t even in a normal husband-and-wife relationship. Bringing Fu Yihan along to meet her father felt strange.

"Alright then...."

Hearing this, Su Qingnuan smiled and said, "Let’s go inside."

"Okay."

The Fu household tonight was eerily quiet. Neither Fu Yixing nor Old Master Fu was in sight.

Su Qingnuan tidied her belongings and went upstairs. Pushing the door open, she saw Fu Yihan seated on the sofa.

"You’re back." A-Qi beside him softly remarked.

Su Qingnuan walked over and saw that Fu Yihan was sketching a blueprint, her curiosity piqued. "Mr. Fu, what design are you working on?"

Fu Yihan raised his eyes and looked at her calmly.

Su Qingnuan stiffened slightly, realizing something, and quickly straightened her posture, tightly clenching her hands.

"I heard you didn’t let A-Qi drive you today?" Fu Yihan asked.

"Yes...." Su Qingnuan nodded, awkwardly laughing. "I was meeting with too many classmates, Mr. Fu, your car...."

That car may have looked understated on the outside, but the brand was overly flashy. Riding it to school, she couldn’t even imagine what others might think!

"Don’t like it?" Fu Yihan glanced at A-Qi.

A-Qi caught on and nodded, turning to Su Qingnuan. "Madam, tomorrow I will come early to take you to the garage so you can pick a car."

"Huh?" Su Qingnuan hurriedly waved her hands. "That’s not necessary, I’m just going...."

"It is necessary."

Fu Yihan lowered his head again to focus on his work, but his words didn’t pause. "You are now the Madam of the Fu family. Outside these walls, everything you do represents the Fu family. Bringing disgrace upon the Su family is fine, but you will not bring shame to our Fu family."

"..."

Su Qingnuan forced a smile and said, "Alright, I understand."

After that, Fu Yihan said no more, and Su Qingnuan took her belongings and returned to her room.

She lay on the bed, her mind occupied with thoughts about what to say to her father tomorrow, and fell asleep unknowingly.

On the new moon day, Su Qingnuan woke early, choosing a gentle outfit and putting on makeup before stepping out of her room.

Coincidentally, Fu Yihan passed by. Su Qingnuan quickly lowered her head and stepped aside, waiting for him to leave first.

Fu Yihan yawned idly, glancing at her briefly before turning away. He paused, then looked again.

The slender figure standing tall, her face adorned with light makeup. A face usually devoid of color now bore a rosy glow, looking unexpectedly alluring.

Fu Yihan’s expression instantly cooled.

He locked the wheelchair in place and stared at Su Qingnuan for a while.

Su Qingnuan felt her whole body stiffening, unsure of what he was observing, so she stood obediently.

"Dressed up like a peacock in heat. Got plans?" Fu Yihan asked.

Su Qingnuan thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "Meeting classmates for dinner."

"Male classmate?"

Shen Lin’an.....

Could be considered a male classmate?

Su Qingnuan hesitated but nodded.

Fu Yihan’s expression grew darker. Eyeing her makeup, he frowned and said, "Dressed like this. It’s an embarrassment. Change."

"..."

She had looked in the mirror earlier; clearly, it was still good-looking. How was it ugly?

"Why are you still standing there? Go!" Fu Yihan’s voice rose sharply.

Su Qingnuan quickly turned back to her room.

She changed into a plain white dress before stepping out again.

Thinking Fu Yihan had already left, she didn’t expect him to still be outside, his gaze steadily fixed in her direction.

Su Qingnuan awkwardly smiled and stepped forward.

Unknown to her, clad in her pure white dress, with her now rosy complexion, her smile looked even more captivating now.

His already displeased expression turned to stormy anger.

"Change again."

"....."

Su Qingnuan changed into two or three more dresses before Fu Yihan finally lost patience, ordering outright that she wasn’t allowed to wear dresses.

Though puzzled, Su Qingnuan obediently swapped her dress for a simple white T-shirt and jeans.

Seeing her changed outfit, Fu Yihan appeared satisfied.

"Let’s go." He said to A-Qi.

A-Qi nodded and began pushing Fu Yihan out the door.

Watching them finally leave, Su Qingnuan breathed a sigh of relief.

...

In the classroom, Su Qingnuan greeted Gu Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Gu Xiaoxiao studied Su Qingnuan for a moment before laughing. "Why are you dressed so...."

"What’s wrong?" Su Qingnuan asked puzzled, looking down at her attire. "Is something wrong with my outfit today? Why is everyone commenting on what I wear?"

"Everyone?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked curiously. "Who else?"

Su Qingnuan rolled her eyes and sat down. "The person I share a household registry with. This morning, he fussed about my clothes for ages. He seemed really unhappy with what I wore."

"So he picked this outfit?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked with a laugh.

"Mm."

"Hahaha!" Gu Xiaoxiao burst out laughing, slapping the table.

Her exaggerated laughter drew annoyed glances from the front row.

Su Qingnuan quickly tugged at her, apologizing profusely to the front row.

Gu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, suppressing her laughter, and said patiently, "But honestly, you definitely look better in skirts than in this outfit."

"..."

And here she thought Fu Yihan’s taste would be refined. Turns out it wasn’t all that impressive after all!

Absolutely won’t listen to him next time. Today’s meeting with her father required a more elegant appearance.
