The next morning, as dawn broke, the morning light seeped through the slightly parted curtains, illuminating a small, soft patch on the plush carpet.
Outside the door, two faint knocks echoed softly.
Fu Weiheng, who was a light sleeper, reluctantly opened his eyes upon hearing the knocking. He glanced at Su Wan, who was still deeply asleep in his arms, and then looked at the digital alarm clock on the bedside table.
7:23
"Guan Guan, are you up?"
A gentle female voice came muffled through the wooden door.
Fu Weiheng frowned slightly. He wasn't fully awake but eventually got out of bed quietly to open the door.
Just as Fu Weijin was about to knock again, the door was suddenly pulled open with a whoosh. Fu Weijin looked up with a smile but froze when she saw Fu Weiheng towering over her, his disheveled hair and deep frown clearly showing his morning irritation.
His deep, magnetic voice carried a hint of impatience as he looked down at Fu Weijin. "What are you doing?"
Fu Weijin snapped back to reality and shrugged her shoulders, exclaiming in surprise, "What are you doing in Guan Guan's room!"
Fu Weiheng immediately covered her mouth and instinctively glanced at the sleeping figure on the bed. Su Wan merely furrowed her brow slightly but remained peacefully asleep.
Fu Weiheng turned back and shot a cold glare at Fu Weijin. "What are you shouting about?"
Fu Weijin swatted his hand away and peeked inside, lowering her voice while smiling mischievously. "Be careful; you might get too carried away."
"What are you thinking?" Fu Weiheng partially closed the door. "Why are you knocking so early?"
Only then did Fu Weijin remember her purpose. "Oh! I came to invite Guan Guan to go shopping for clothes. You're taking her to the airport to pick up Mom and Dad this afternoon, right? I thought I'd help her pick out some clothes and do her makeup so she looks beautiful when she meets Ms. Mu."
Fu Weiheng frowned again and rejected her without hesitation. "No need." He then stepped into the room and added as he closed the door, "My wife is already stunning."
Fu Weijin: "………………"
After sending off Fu Weijin, Fu Weiheng burrowed back under the covers, holding Su Wan close to continue sleeping. Recently, he had been busy with business trips, getting less than five hours of sleep a day. Staying in hotels away from home made it even harder for him to adjust, so he naturally hadn’t been sleeping well. Now that he had finally returned home, he intended to catch up on the sleep he had missed.
Of course, his focus was on who he would be catching up on sleep with.
When he woke up again, it was already past nine o'clock.
As Fu Weiheng opened his eyes, he saw his girl curled up facing him, her round eyes wide open and staring at him without moving. It was clear she had just woken up and was still a bit dazed.
He shifted closer and pecked her lips: "Awake?"
Su Wan: "……" Suddenly, she recalled what Mr. Fu had said last night before they fell asleep—
"If you move again, I'll touch you."
"You won't be able to get out of bed if I do!"
So, just a short while after waking up that morning, Su Wan inexplicably felt her face flush.
She lowered her head to avoid his gaze and softly said, "I'm hungry..."
After a moment's pause, the latter lifted the covers: "Get up."
Fu Weiheng went to his own room to wash his face and brush his teeth, while Su Wan retrieved some things from her suitcase to freshen up in the bathroom.
About five minutes later, Su Wan emerged from the bathroom looking refreshed, wearing her pajamas and staring blankly at the suitcase sprawled on the floor.
Seeing her future in-laws...
What to wear...
Then she slowly realized—
No! What future in-laws! What nonsense am I thinking!
Sumerian sighed softly and squatted down to rummage through the boxes.
Ten minutes later, Mr. Fu knocked on the door: “Guan Guan, are you ready?”
At that moment, Su Wan had just put on a sweater, her hair was messy from static electricity. She smoothened her hair and responded from the door, “Neil, you can go down first. I’ll be there in a bit.”
There was a moment of silence outside, and as Su Wan pulled out a pair of leggings to put on, she heard his deep voice reply, “Okay.”
When Su Wan went downstairs, Fu Weiheng was sitting alone in the dining room sipping coffee, holding a copy of the Morning Paper and reading intently. Hearing her footsteps, he put down the newspaper and looked at Su Wan coming down the stairs with clear eyes.
She wore a brown knee-length Turtleneck Sweater, with a white cashmere coat over it. Her long hair was slightly curled and fell over her shoulders. With fair skin and light makeup on her delicate face, she looked fresh and beautiful.
Fu Weiheng smiled slightly, feeling pleased as he took another sip of coffee.
Yes, she was stunningly beautiful.
Noticing Fu Weiheng's gaze on her, Su Wan lowered her head and examined herself from bottom to top. Finally, she walked up to him and asked hesitantly, “Is this... okay?”
He replied, “Hmm, it’s fine. Sit down and eat.”
Su Wan complied readily.
Just then, Fu Weijin returned from the yard. Seeing the two sitting across from each other in the dining room, she walked over to greet them: “Did you sleep well, Guan Guan?”
As Su Wan took a sip of milk and looked up at Fu Weijin, she noticed there was a hint of... ambiguity in her eyes?
She nodded with a smile, "I slept very well."
Fu Weijin's smile took on a deeper meaning as she lightly exclaimed, "Oh~," her gaze shifting from Fu Weiheng to Su Wan's face. Then, she pulled out the chair next to Su Wan and sat down, leaning closer to her ear to whisper, "Did you sleep with Neil last night?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Su Wan immediately choked on the milk in her mouth, coughing several times in succession.
Fu Weiheng's sharp gaze instantly shot over, "Fu Weijin..."
Fu Weijin chuckled awkwardly, raising her hand to pat Su Wan's back to help her recover, "Take it easy."
After a while, Su Wan calmed down, her face flushed from choking. She covered her lips and said firmly, "We didn't do anything, really."
Fu Weijin blinked, "I know, I know."
Su Wan: "..." You don't know...
Fu Weiheng frowned, "Fu Weijin, shut up."
The latter remained unfazed and propped her head up while laughing, "I knocked on your door early this morning to invite you to go shopping for clothes and dress up before meeting my parents."
Su Wan's eyes lit up; she had the same idea!
Then she added in a teasing tone, "But your Mr. Fu said you're already stunningly beautiful and don't need it."
Su Wan instinctively glanced at her Mr. Fu, just in time to meet his gaze. Her face turned red again as she stammered, "…Mr. Fu is just flattering me."
Mr. Fu smiled and nodded, "Just speaking the truth."
Fu Weijin: "…"
What the hell!
Why are they showing off their affection so early in the morning!
---
Mu Qing and Fu Yiyuan's flight was scheduled to arrive at Yan Chuan International Airport at four in the afternoon. As previously agreed, Fu Weiheng and Su Wan went to the airport to pick them up first, while Fu Weijin's family would leave later directly from home to arrange tonight's dinner at the hotel.
Cayenne drove smoothly along the main road, with Su Wan sitting in the passenger seat. Suddenly, she became tense, sitting upright and completely still.
Fu Weiheng noticed her serious expression and couldn't help but ask, "What are you nervous about?"
Su Wan replied weakly, "Ah... I'm not."
Fu Weiheng said, "They really like you."
Su Wan muttered softly, "...I know." But she felt inexplicably...
However, in reality, she had no reason to be nervous at all!
By the time they reached the airport, it was already past four o'clock. The two should have just gotten off the plane and were waiting for their luggage. Fu Weiheng glanced at the still quiet arrival area and said, "I'll go to the restroom for a moment."
Su Wan hurriedly urged him, "Hurry up! I don't recognize your parents."
Just as she saw Mr. Fu enter the restroom, Su Wan noticed that the automatic doors of the arrival area slowly opened, and a large group of passengers began to emerge with their luggage carts.
Standing alone outside the security barrier, Su Wan felt a bit awkward. She had never seen a photo of his parents; she only knew that his mother’s surname was Mu. What if she missed them... She turned to glance back at the restroom but saw no sign of Fu Weiheng coming out. She felt stuck.
Just as Su Wan was contemplating whether to pull out her phone and write "Ms. Mu" on the screen to show it, a delicate lady's hat suddenly fell from a luggage cart passing by. Su Wan noticed that the owner of the cart walked away without realizing her hat had fallen. She quickly bent down to pick up the hat and hurried toward the woman's retreating figure.
The slender woman with an elegant demeanor stopped in front of the consultation desk and took out her phone to make a call. Su Wan immediately quickened her pace and ran up to her, saying, "Hello, you dropped your hat."
The woman turned around, her face filled with confusion, and that beautiful, familiar face made Su Wan pause.
Suddenly, a face from a movie she had seen years ago popped into her mind—bright eyes and white teeth, skin like cream, a graceful figure in a qipao holding an Oiled Paper Umbrella, turning back with a smile in a long alley, elegant and charming.
Instinctively, she hesitantly asked, "Excuse me, are you Mu Qing?"
The woman covered her lips and smiled, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes becoming apparent: "You recognized me?"
Indeed...
Su Wan felt an overwhelming joy inside her, unable to hide her excitement on her face: "I watched your movie Oiled Paper Umbrella and really liked your character in it. That's why I remember you so well. You are very beautiful."
In 2003, the film Oiled Paper Umbrella starring Mu Qing was released nationwide. Her delicate and elegant appearance and unique temperament immediately captured the attention of the entire country, especially her captivating eyes. She became a well-deserved best actress for her outstanding performance in this film.
Su Wan had seen this movie when she was in middle school. At that time, Mu Qing began to slowly withdraw from the entertainment industry and moved abroad with her husband to travel the world. Even as a teenage girl, Su Wan was completely enchanted by Mu Qing's face.
Mu Qing continued to smile gracefully, looking at Su Wan with a hint of meaning: "That was over ten years ago; now I am old."
"No, no, you are still very beautiful. This is my first time seeing you in person," Su Wan couldn't hide her excitement as she took out a ballpoint pen and a notebook from her bag, doing something she had never imagined in her life: "Could you please give me your autograph?"
Mu Qing suddenly laughed heartily, taking the pen and quickly signing two characters: "You are also very beautiful."
Su Wan blushed; wow, she was praised by her favorite star.
"Guan Guan—"
A familiar voice sounded behind Mu Qing. Both Su Wan and Mu Qing turned to look and were startled when they saw Fu Weiheng's tall figure. Su Wan suddenly snapped back to reality.
Oh my gosh, she had completely forgotten about Deity's parents!
Fu Weiheng had already walked up to them. He glanced at the bewildered Su Wan and then turned to Mu Qing in surprise, saying something shocking: "Mom, what did you do to my wife?"
Su Wan was completely shocked: "…………………………Mom?"
Mu Qing was taken aback, laughing even more: "Oh."
Su Wan was at a loss for words: "………………"
So...
The so-called... little actress's mother
is the international film queen—Mu Qing??!!
!(◎_◎;)
Mu Qing pressed her lips together and nudged Fu Weiheng with her shoulder, teasingly saying, "Neil, my little wife is just as beautiful, cute, and charming as in the photos. She's still my fan."
Fu Weiheng raised an eyebrow proudly and pulled Su Wan to push the luggage cart: "Where's Dad?"
Mu Qing replied, "He's outside smoking."
The three of them reached the entrance of the terminal, and the luggage cart stopped there. Su Wan finally snapped back to reality from the earlier revelation, reaching out to help carry the suitcase, feeling a bit embarrassed as she looked at Mu Qing: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Su Wan."
Mu Qing frowned slightly: "Why did you change how you address me again? Calling me Mom sounds better."
Su Wan: "……"
She didn't mean to T T
In the parking lot, they met up with Fu Yiyuan. Father Fu had a kind expression, always smiling, which contrasted with Fu Weiheng's personality.
Fu Weiheng: "Dad."
"Hello, Uncle, I'm Su Wan," she called out.
Fu Yiyuan smiled and nodded, giving Su Wan a brief look before putting his arm around Fu Weiheng's shoulder and saying, "Not bad, not bad... my son has done well; his choice in a wife is just as good as mine."
Su Wan was taken aback by the compliment.
When they reached the Cayenne, Su Wan proactively walked to the back seat. Just as she was about to open the door, Mu Qing said, "Guan Guan, you sit in the front."
Su Wan replied, "This..."
Fu Yiyuan chimed in, "Yes, Guan Guan, you sit in the front. We both prefer sitting in the back."
Fu Weiheng opened the passenger door and glanced at her. "Get in."
Su Wan said, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
Fu Yiyuan got into the car and joked, "Wei Hang, your wife is quite polite."
Mu Qing added, "Your wife is my fan; she just asked for my autograph."
Su Wan felt utterly embarrassed.
Fu Weiheng watched his wife bow her head shyly and fastened his seatbelt. "My wife is easily embarrassed; don't tease her."
Su Wan remained silent.
The car drove steadily onto the airport expressway. Fu Weiheng focused on the road ahead and spoke up, "Wei Jin and Ivan have already gone to the hotel. I've reserved a table; we'll head back to Fu Residence after dinner."
Mu Qing responded, "Okay."
Fu Weiheng then asked, "Is Grandpa not planning to come back this year?"
"Fu Yiyuan said he would come back later; he wants to go find Uncle Weng to catch up."
Su Wan silently focused on the front, listening to their conversation.
Suddenly, Mu Qing softly called her name: "Guan Guan."
Su Wan turned her head and replied, "Hmm, Auntie."
Mu Qing asked, "Are you still in school?"
Su Wan answered, "I will graduate this summer."
Mu Qing continued, "Are you interning now?"
Su Wan replied, "Yes, I am interning at Fu... at Hengyan."
After a moment, Mu Qing looked at Fu Weiheng and suddenly asked, "When do you plan to get married?"
Fu Weiheng responded nonchalantly, "I am always ready."
Thus, the question was directed at Su Wan.
The latter stammered, "I, I... I also..." unsure of how to continue.
