Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Visiting My Home
“Auntie, can we still go play later?”
Su Baobao just finished eating and was already thinking about playing.
An Mi: “Where else do you want to go?”
Su Baobao turned her head to Su Yuxuan and asked, “Xuanxuan, where else do you want to play?”
Upon hearing this, Su Yuxuan thought seriously for a moment.
But she was young and didn’t know where the fun places were.
“I don’t know either, I’ll listen to Aunt An Mi. Wherever Aunt An Mi says to go, we’ll go~”
Su Yuxuan’s voice was really pleasant to hear, babyish and even a bit mushy.
The key is, she looks super cute and super pretty.
An Mi touched her little head and praised: “Our Xuanxuan is really such a good baby.”
“Then let Auntie think about where to take you, okay?”
She herself didn’t often go out to play, and to tell the truth, she wasn’t very clear about where was suitable for kids to play either.
She looked towards Fei Yue opposite her.
Fei Yue knew what she wanted to ask, “Miss An Mi, I’m not very clear either.”
Fei Yue was always in training, or on missions outside, she also hadn’t played, let alone taken children to play anywhere.
An Mi could only check out some group-buying websites to look up nearby attractions herself.
After scrolling for a few minutes, it seemed that only the water park and Sea World were the most suitable options.
“Xixi, Xuanxuan, it’s a choice between two for us. Do you want to go to the water park or Sea World?” An Mi asked the two little ones for their opinion.
Su Baobao didn’t really mind, he said, “Xuanxuan can choose, we’ll go wherever Xuanxuan wants to go.”
After pondering for a few seconds, Xuanxuan said, “I want to go to the water park.”
It seems no child can escape the love of playing in water.
An Mi: “Alright, then it’s happily decided.”
“But just to be clear, we can’t play for too long, alright?”
The two little ones happily agreed.
The group set off for the water park after eating their fill.
Wan Muqi had just arrived when they left.
He ended up coming for nothing.
He could only ask someone to look again.
“No way, I mean, Mr. Wan, don’t you know Miss An Mi? Can’t you just call her and ask?”
This still required him to look here and there, wasting time.
Wan Muqi: “Just search if I tell you to search, no backtalk.”
The person on the other end of the call sighed, “Alright, I’ll go look for you now. Just wait.”
…
“Auntie, do we need to go buy swimsuits?”
As soon as they got out of the car, Su Baobao said.
Indeed, they needed to buy some, because they hadn’t brought swimsuits with them, mainly because they hadn’t planned on coming here.
An Mi and Fei Yue took them to buy some, and after changing clothes, they all went in.
Today was Saturday, so it was very crowded with both adults and children.
An Mi was worried about getting separated, so she watched them closely the whole time, not daring to relax for a moment.
Fei Yue felt the same; she was genuinely worried that Su Yimo might get taken away by someone again.
However, the two little ones didn’t seem to know the meaning of tiredness, playing all morning and still having energy in the afternoon.
The two are currently having a great time.
On the other side.
Wan Muqi arrived outside the water park.
“Mr. Wan, I can only trace them this far, but there are so many people inside, and it’s such a large area, I really don’t know where Miss An Mi specifically is. You’ll have to search slowly by yourself, maybe you’ll bump into her by chance.”
After hearing this, Wan Muqi fell silent.
Once he bought a ticket and entered, he realized what a crowd meant; everywhere he looked there were heads, it was even very noisy with the sounds of children’s clamor.
This was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In an instant, he felt overwhelmed.
If he were to check the surveillance, it wouldn’t be appropriate either. With so many people, how could he possibly keep up?
In the end, he could only take out his phone and call An Mi.
He rang the first time, no one answered, the ringtone sounded until it automatically disconnected.
The second time, still no one answered.
He frowned, did she not hear it, not see it, or was she ignoring it on purpose?
An Mi truly hadn’t seen his call; she was playing with the two little ones at the moment, and her phone was with Fei Yue.
Fei Yue saw it, but she had changed clothes, so it was inconvenient for her to get into the water.
An Mi and the two little ones were in the middle of a crowded and noisy area, so after shouting a few times without response from An Mi, she gave up.
But she couldn’t just answer An Mi’s phone casually, she could only let it keep ringing.
A few minutes later, her own phone rang.
She saw it was an unfamiliar number and didn’t plan to answer.
But the caller wouldn’t hang up, so she had no choice but to answer.
“Hello, who’s this?”
“Fei Yue, it’s me, Wan Muqi.”
Fei Yue was slightly stunned, “Mr. Wan, what do you need?”
A few minutes earlier, Wan Muqi had found Jiang Yan and got Fei Yue’s number.
If he remembered correctly, Su Yimo almost always had Fei Yue accompany her when he went out.
“Is An Mi with you?”
Fei Yue glanced in An Mi’s direction, “Yes, Mr. Wan.”
Wan Muqi: “Then where are you right now?”
Fei Yue told him their exact location.
It wasn’t long before he found his way to them.
Fei Yue saw him and waved, “Mr. Wan, this way.”
Wan Muqi looked beside her a few times but didn’t see An Mi.
Fei Yue turned sideways and pointed behind her to the huge swimming pool, “Miss An Mi is playing with the young master and Miss Yuxuan in the water below.”
Wan Muqi looked where she was pointing.
At that moment, one adult and two kids were joyfully playing in the water.
But there was one thing; he wasn’t very happy, although An Mi wasn’t wearing a very revealing swimsuit, quite conservative, but because she was all wet, the clothes clung tightly to her body, showing off her figure, incredibly enticing.
“Mr. Wan, did you need something important from Miss An Mi?” Fei Yue inquired.
Fei Yue was somewhat puzzled; logically speaking, he and An Mi shouldn’t have any business-related contact, right?
Plus, he had made a special effort to find this place.
“Oh, it’s nothing, I just happened to be nearby doing some errands, heard you folks were here, and thought I’d come see if you needed any help.”
His excuse was rather dismissive.
Mainly because he had already come all this way and couldn’t think of a better excuse.
Fei Yue: “…”
She wasn’t foolish, nor was she unable to detect his perfunctory tone.
Moreover, Wan Muqi had only just arrived and started looking for An Mi, and now his gaze was constantly following her figure.
Anyone with clear eyesight could tell that he had an ulterior motive.
It wasn’t until the two little ones had their fill of play and it was about time, that An Mi brought them up.
Just as she came up and stood in place, a white towel suddenly draped over her.
She hadn’t noticed Wan Muqi just before.
When she turned around, the man was standing right behind her.
She was completely taken aback.
How could he be here?
When did he get here?
Why did he come here?
Several questions flashed through An Mi’s mind in an instant.
Wan Muqi cleared his throat and said, “Be careful not to catch a cold.”
An Mi was only stunned for a moment, then replied, “Mr. Wan, the temperature today is thirty-four degrees, it’s impossible to catch a cold.”
Having said that, she took off the towel and returned it to him.
“Thank you for the towel, Mr. Wan, but I don’t need it.”
Wan Muqi: “…”
It seemed to be the first time he saw her treat him with such an attitude.
Although her expression was normal and she wasn’t frowning, he just felt that something was off.
“Oh, Uncle Wan, you’re here too,” Su Baobao greeted him.
An Mi, holding his and Xuanxuan’s hands, said, “We’re going to change clothes; we’ll be heading home in a bit.”
She didn’t even wait for the man to speak before she pulled the children away.
“…”
After they changed clothes and came out, An Mi saw him again at the door.
Fei Yue simply watched from the side, not knowing what to say.
“I’ll drive you guys home,” Wan Muqi said.
An Mi: “Mr. Wan, there’s no need to trouble yourself, we drove here.”
As for why he appeared here, although she was quite curious at first, she wasn’t very interested now.
Primarily because she didn’t have any standing to ask these questions; besides, the water park wasn’t her private property, and if someone bought a ticket and wanted to come, they didn’t need any reasons.
Wan Muqi, a man who had never been outtalked, was for once at a loss for words.
An Mi said, “Mr. Wan, you must’ve just arrived, so you take your time enjoying the place; we’re heading home first.”
You could say she was cold, but not quite; she was rather polite, with a faint smile on her face.
“…”
Fei Yue didn’t feel it was appropriate for her to get involved, mainly because she wasn’t clear about the relationship between these two.
She didn’t seem to have heard any news about An Mi and Mr. Wan dating.
Wan Muqi followed them all the way to the parking lot.
Although she didn’t know his intentions, An Mi couldn’t just ignore his actions.
“An Mi, Mr. Wan must have something to discuss with you; he’s called you several times before coming here,” Fei Yue whispered in her ear.
An Mi hadn’t checked her phone when Fei Yue handed it to her earlier, so she didn’t know.
But what did he want to see her for?
The matter with Yang Jie was already settled; there shouldn’t be anything else to discuss.
After getting the two little ones seated in the car, An Mi then turned to look at Wan Muqi, who had been following them.
Fei Yue also tactfully got into the car and closed the door.
“Mr. Wan, is there something you need?” An Mi asked.
He had been following her the whole time; it couldn’t be just because he had nothing better to do, right?
Moreover, wasn’t he supposed to be accompanying her dad on a blind date today?
How did he still manage to find the time to come here?
An Mi had many questions in her mind, but she didn’t ask any of them.
After serious consideration, she felt that none of these questions were appropriate for her to ask, since she and he were merely friends.
“An Mi, are you angry with me?” Wan Muqi asked.
“Ah?” An Mi was confused: “I’m not angry. What would I be angry about?”
Wan Muqi: “About the conversation I had with your dad last night, I…”
Before he could finish his sentence, An Mi cut him off: “Mr. Wan, you don’t need to explain to me, that’s your private affair. If you think I would be angry about your conversation with my dad last night, then perhaps you’re worrying too much. I’m not upset at all. Besides, why should I be? Like you’ve said before, everyone has the right to like someone, and in the same way, everyone has their own choices to make. Between us, we are just friends. So, whatever your choices are, no one has the right to interfere.”
“Actually, I’ve always felt quite sorry because you said before that you liked me, but I was not able to give you an answer or respond. Now, my answer is still the same as before, so I don’t want you to waste your time on me. If you meet a suitable girl, you can completely choose the life you want without factoring me into it.”
“You’ve also said you respect my choices, so I respect your choices as well. After all, liking someone doesn’t last forever, especially when there has been no response.”
“So, Mr. Wan, you really shouldn’t waste your time on me anymore. After all, you are not young anymore, and Aunt Ling and Uncle Wan are really worried about you.”
An Mi said all this in one breath.
She had never spoken this much at once before, and it was quite exhausting.
But as Wan Muqi listened, his expression worsened, and his brows furrowed even more.
After she said so much, Wan Muqi came to one conclusion: An Mi was trying to say, “Don’t like me anymore.”
Moreover, she was very calm and clear-minded when she told him this.
This was not a good sign.
After An Mi finished speaking, she intended to turn around and get in the car, but the man quickly grabbed her wrist.
“An Mi, waiting for you has not been a waste of my time,” he said.
“I’ve said I would wait for you, for the day you come to like me, no matter how long it takes,” Wan Muqi suddenly felt a rush of anxiety and explained, “About the thing I agreed to with your dad last night, I actually did that on purpose. I knew you were there listening at the time. I just wanted to see your reaction and didn’t mean anything else by it.”
Upon hearing this, An Mi felt speechless and thought it was rather childish.
She hadn’t expected that even a seasoned lawyer like him could play such childish games.
An Mi realized the irritation that had been buried in her heart since last night seemed to be fading, but she couldn’t tell whether it had dissipated on its own or due to his explanation.
In any case, she didn’t feel irked now looking at him or hearing his voice.
“Okay, I get it,” An Mi replied very calmly.
Wan Muqi frowned, momentarily at a loss for words.
“Uh, Mr. Wan, it’s getting late, and I still need to take the two kids back. If there’s nothing else important, then I guess this is it,” An Mi said.
An Mi glanced at his hand holding her wrist and politely inquired, “Can you let go of me now?”
An Mi’s stable demeanor gave no hint of her current mood.
Previously, Wan Muqi could sense her emotional shifts, but today, he felt nothing at all.
It seemed as though the girl had matured overnight, learning to conceal herself.
At this moment, Su Baobao lowered the car window and poked out her little head.
Looking at the two of them, she asked very earnestly, “Auntie, Uncle Wan, have you finished talking? If not, we can continue talking back at home, okay? Xuanxuan and I are getting hungry～”
After Wan Muqi let go of her wrist, An Mi hurriedly retracted her hand.
She looked at Su Baobao and said, “We’re done talking, we’ll head home for dinner now.”
Then, Su Baobao turned to Wan Muqi and politely asked, “Uncle Wan, are you coming to our house as a guest tonight?”
Honestly, it was just a casual inquiry, and he did not expect the man to accept the invitation.
Upon hearing her, Wan Muqi immediately answered, “Alright.”
Just as An Mi got into the car: “…”
