Chapter 43 -43 How Far is Forever_1

Su Wanxia was gasping for breath. Hearing his words, her face turned so red she thought she might bleed. She gave him an embarrassed and reproachful glare before indignantly yanking the car door open and swinging her legs out to get out of the car.

Mu Yingchen smiled and followed suit, opening the back door and taking out the bouquet of roses. With a smile in his eyes, he looked at the woman whose face was full of displeasure. “I’ll take them inside for you!”

Su Wanxia rolled her eyes. “No need,” she then took the large bouquet of roses from his hands.

Mu Yingchen, holding such a large bouquet, appeared somewhat asymmetrical; even more so for her, with her petite frame, her entire face was nearly hidden.

After taking the flowers, Su Wanxia immediately began to complain. The flowers not only obstructed her view but were also incredibly heavy.

Mu Yingchen shook his head helplessly, reached out to take the flowers from her arms, “I’ll carry them!” And then he proceeded inside as if he were heading into his own house.

Su Wanxia’s mouth twitched. This man’s skin was really thick, even though it had never been thin in the past.

She then followed and walked towards her home’s entrance. Since returning from England, she always carried keys with her. While Mu Yingchen stood beside the villa’s door, holding the flowers, Su Wanxia took out her keys and unlocked the door.

She thought that it was so late, her parents would have already gone to rest, but as soon as she opened the door, both her father and mother were sitting on the living room sofa, drinking tea.

They both turned their heads to look towards the door at this moment. She forced a couple of dry laughs and hesitantly stepped inside.

Only then did Su’s mother hastily stand up from the sofa, “Wanxia, you’re back.”

“Mom, Dad, how come you haven’t gone to bed yet?” Su Wanxia awkwardly started. She and Mu Yingchen had dashed off today, which must have been extremely embarrassing for her parents.

“We were waiting for you. You were with—-” Su’s mother began but stopped abruptly when she saw Mu Yingchen following Wanxia inside, suddenly falling silent.

“Hehe, Yingchen is here too. Come in and take a seat,” she said quickly.

Mu Yingchen smiled politely, “Uncle, Auntie, I’m very sorry for the trouble at the banquet today.”

“Hehe,” Su’s mother laughed twice, unsure of what to say. It was obviously not true to say there was no trouble, but the apology had already been made.

Su’s father, upon seeing Mu Yingchen, also stood up from the sofa and walked towards the doorway while saying, “Yingchen is here, come and sit inside.”

“No, it’s late; I should be going.” After speaking, he handed the flowers to Su Wanxia, who was standing nearby, greeted Su’s mother again, and then turned around to leave.

Once Mu Yingchen’s figure had completely disappeared from the villa, Su’s mother closed the door and looked at Su Wanxia with some concern. What could she say about these two kids?

“Now that you’re back, get some rest early,” Su’s father told Su Wanxia before heading toward the bedroom.

“Dad, I’m sorry.” Her father didn’t utter a word of reproach, which made Su Wanxia feel even worse. They had gone to the trouble of inviting so many people for her birthday celebration tonight, yet she was absent the whole evening. It was truly unforgivable.

“Wanxia, your mom and I aren’t blaming you. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters,” Su’s father turned with a loving look in his eyes.

“Thank you, mom and dad.” She couldn’t help but lower her head; she was already so grown up but still causing her parents to worry, truly unfilial.

“Don’t mention it. Hurry upstairs to wash up and rest!” Su’s mother also said.

“Okay, I will.”

As Su’s mother headed to the bedroom door, she turned back to Su Wanxia and remarked, “The flowers are beautiful!”

Su Wanxia’s face lit up with a smile instantly. Did her mom mean that she didn’t object to her and Mu Yingchen anymore?

Could it be true? Then, her shoulders drooped, and she shook her head in conflict.

She went upstairs and after much effort, managed to arrange the flowers one by one into a beautiful large vase. She then strenuously placed it on the bedroom balcony and stared at the bright and beautiful blossoms with a joyful expression. She counted them, one thousand and one in total, a symbol of forever.

But how far away is forever?

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, bowed her head, and took a deep breath of their fragrance. So fragrant.

Then, she turned towards the bathroom, indulged in a wonderful bath, and fell into a sweet sleep.

Early the next morning, her phone rang incessantly. Annoyed, Su Wanxia grabbed the phone to see who it could be bugging her so early. She squinted, peer at the screen, then frowned. What was Meng Can doing calling so early in the morning?

“Can, what are you doing up so early?”

“Summer, did I disturb your sweet dreams? I’m planning to inspect the construction site in Bali today. The foundation has been built over the past two months. It’s time to have a look and finalize the plans earlier. What do you think?”

After a moment, Su Wanxia’s mind cleared, and she agreed that it was indeed time to go and conduct an inspection.

“Sure, what time are we leaving?”

“The earlier, the better to avoid traffic on the way to the airport.”

Su Wanxia glanced at the time; it was now 6:35 AM. “Then I’ll get up now, see you at the airport.”

“OK.”

After hanging up, Su Wanxia climbed out of bed, took 10 minutes to wash up, 10 minutes to pack, and was ready in 20 minutes.

Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Su, always got up early. They had just returned from their morning run and saw her heading out with her suitcase.

“Xiaxia, where are you going?”

“Dad, Mom, you know about the Bali project I’m taking over. I’m going to check it out today and will be back in a few days.”

Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Su feel at ease.

“Oh, come back early.”

“I know, I know.”

By the time Su Wanxia drove to the airport, it was already 7:30 AM. She parked her car in the parking lot and called Meng Can.

Meng Can had just arrived too, and they caught the 8 AM flight.

Since the flight from C City to Bali took quite a while, at least 10 hours, it was around 7 PM by the time they arrived.

No sooner had they landed than Su Wanxia’s phone started ringing. It was Mu Yingchen, and her eyes curved into a smile.

As soon as she answered—

“Su Wanxia, why didn’t you tell me you were going to Bali!”

“Are you trying to disappear on me without a word again?”

“Are you!”

Su Wanxia frowned as she listened to Mu Yingchen’s complaints. Then she said, “I only found out this morning. I didn’t have time to tell you and was planning to call you after I arrived.”

“From now on, you’re not allowed to go anywhere without my permission,” Mu Yingchen’s domineering voice came through the phone.

Su Wanxia was instantly filled with exasperation. Was this man being too overbearing, expecting her to ask his permission just to go somewhere?

But he seemed quite angry now, and Su Wanxia merely hummed an almost inaudible acknowledgment.

Mu Yingchen’s tone softened slightly, “Chuyang took the 10 PM flight and is already on his way there.”

“What? What is he coming for?” Su Wanxia exclaimed in surprise.

“To supervise, so you won’t slack off!”

Su Wanxia’s mouth twitched. Supervision? Really?

“Fine, fine, big boss, I just got off the plane and am heading to the hotel now, so I’ll talk to you later,” she said exasperatedly.

Mu Yingchen frowned unhappily upon hearing this, uttered a cold hum, and then hung up. His heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally settled back into place. He heaved a heavy sigh and stood forlornly on the observation deck, gazing out at the distant city lights that were dimly visible.
