Chapter 105 Reluctant to Part

Chapter 105 Unwilling to Let Go

In her previous life, Su He was born into a modest family, lacking both powerful backing and wide-ranging connections.

However, relying on her sharp mind and skills, she battled her way through countless competitors and eventually rose to become an executive at a Fortune 500 company.

Due to the demands of her job, Su He frequently traveled abroad for work, sometimes even venturing into danger zones.

As a result, she faced countless close calls, with her life often under threat.

Yet, Su He never backed down.

Every time danger arose, she chose to move forward without hesitation.

Though each trip abroad felt like wartime, she knew how hard-won her achievements were, and only through such trials could she solidify her position.

Others might have safe harbors or strong support systems behind them.

But Su He had none.

In her original world, she was completely alone—her family had passed away, and the remaining relatives might as well have been strangers.

Before turning thirty, Su He had already achieved against-all-odds success, all thanks to her grit and hustle.

Back then, she had no backing, no capital, and no family—she went solo.

Though many marveled at her for achieving so much at such a young age, who could truly understand what it cost her?

But after arriving here, Fu Tinghua said to her, *"Our family still has a cushion to fall back on. Relax, you’ve got me behind you."*

For someone like Su He, who had struggled alone all her life, how could such words not hit her right in the heart?

Once, she faced life’s pressures and difficulties alone, but now, she knew she wasn’t on her own anymore.

At the very least, she wasn’t alone.

In her past life, guys pursued her, but none ever clicked with her.

She always felt something crucial was missing, preventing her from going all-in on a relationship.

Moreover, due to the demands of her job, she was constantly traveling, leaving no time for the kind of romance she truly desired.

She paused. "Thank you," Su He smiled at Fu Tinghua, her gratitude sincere.

Zai Zai shoveled a mouthful of food into his mouth, then glanced at his father and mother, looking puzzled.

After dinner, the family went out for a walk.

There was a park near the hospital, designed for children and the elderly to exercise.

Fu Tinghua led Su He and the two children slowly toward the park. Su He pointed to a large playground with slides where many kids were playing and said, *"Zai Zai, Niu Niu, go play."*

Seeing so many children, Zai Zai and Niu Niu grew excited, though they were still a little shy.

So Su He crouched down and patiently reassured them, *"It’s okay, go ahead. Mom and Dad will be right here watching you."*

Su He wanted the two children to integrate into the world of their peers. In the past, their birth mother had kept them isolated.

Hearing that their parents would be watching, Zai Zai and Niu Niu took off giggling to play on the slides.

After playing on the slide once, the two kids got super excited, running around with the other children.

Su He and Fu Tinghua watched them play from the side when Fu Tinghua suddenly said, "Zai Zai and Niu Niu are so well-mannered, thanks to you."

"Mostly, they were already very sensible to begin with."

Looking in that direction, it was almost Zai Zai's turn to play on the slide, but he voluntarily gave up his spot to let the impatient little ones go first.

How did such a sweet-natured boy like Zai Zai end up becoming a villain in the end?

Oh right, it was mentioned earlier that Fu Tinghua died young, but the book didn’t specify how he died.

Oh right, I totally forgot about that.

"Some of your test results came back, and all your indicators are normal. There are still a few blood tests that will be ready next week, but they should be fine too." Fu Tinghua finally remembered to tell Su He about her morning check-up.

"That's good to hear." Su He wasn’t too surprised. If someone’s body isn’t feeling well, they can usually sense it themselves.

"You’re plenty thin already. My colleagues..." Fu Tinghua hesitated mid-sentence.

"What about your colleagues?" Su He asked curiously.

She wanted to know how Fu Tinghua’s colleagues viewed her.

"My colleagues all say you’re very beautiful. I think so too, so you don’t need to lose any more weight."

He looked slightly embarrassed on his normally cool expression.

Su He: "..."

Could she say she hadn’t been deliberately trying to lose weight? Ever since transmigrating into this body, she’d been crazy busy—who had time to diet?

Sure, she’d watched what she ate, but she hadn’t done any extra exercise either.

"I’m not dieting, really. I just naturally lost weight," Su He said helplessly.

Fu Tinghua, being a doctor, couldn’t explain how Su He had lost weight so quickly—it simply wasn’t scientifically possible.

Even if someone tried hard to lose weight, no one could slim down as rapidly as Su He had.

But he didn’t want to question his wife’s words, so he took her word for it.

On the way home, the two kids bounced ahead excitedly, chasing each other’s shadows.

"Slow down, don’t bump into anyone," Su He reminded them from behind.

Just then, Fu Tinghua gently took Su He’s hand in his.

Su He’s heart fluttered, and an odd flutter surged through her.

She looked down at their joined hands, then looked up at Fu Tinghua.

Under the dim streetlights, his face appeared unusually soft, his eyes filled with warmth and affection.

Enveloped by his large, warm hand, Su He went still for a second before coming to her senses.

She glanced at the two kids still playing up ahead—they were right there.

She bit her lip. She started to pull away unsuccessfully.

However, Fu Tinghua seemed to sense her intention and held her hand tightly, not letting her pull away.

She looked up at Fu Tinghua, who was looking at her with smiling eyes under the dim streetlight.

Maybe it was because his gaze was too tender, or maybe it was because he was just too handsome—Su He suddenly didn’t want to pull her hand away.

She lowered her head slightly, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.

Zai Zai was skipping ahead with his little sister when he turned and saw his parents holding hands.

Suddenly realizing something, he stopped his sister from calling out to their mom and said, "Let’s walk on our own. Don’t disturb Mom and Dad."

Niu Niu had one great quality—she always listened to her parents and her brother. The moment her brother told her not to disturb their parents, she obediently followed behind him.

Fu Tinghua walked hand in hand with Su He at the back, the family of four making a lovely picture in the eyes of passersby.
