Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 498 - 497: What a Mood

Seeing He Qiya’s lengthy message this time, Su Mu was somewhat speechless.

Su Mu had truly not expected He Qiya to keep pressing the issue.

Could this question really be so important to He Qiya?

But to Su Mu, these were all matters for later.

Even if it was just a trivial thing, what use was there in making an appointment in advance?

Shouldn’t future matters be discussed in the future?

It seemed completely unnecessary to set such plans for university life so early.

Besides, in Su Mu’s view, they were already friends.

Once they were in university, if they really had time, it wouldn’t be impossible to meet up and hang out.

Su Mu even thought about inviting Xuanxuan along.

After all, Xuanxuan and He Qiya were both girls and were both going from Huadong City to Wudong City for university, so they might have more to talk about.

Su Mu pondered whether it was really necessary to make such a minor commitment with He Qiya now.

Su Mu did not reply directly to He Qiya’s message.

Su Mu felt that He Qiya was being a bit childish.

To make an appointment in advance over such small matters.

Su Mu was somewhat reluctant to engage with He Qiya in these trivial childish agreements.

"Su Mu, the main thing is I don’t really have many friends back home, and going to Wudong City would mean I’m even more a stranger in a strange place. By then, you might be the only person in Wudong City I know and am familiar with."

Seeing that Su Mu had not responded to her message, He Qiya grew anxious.

Just now, He Qiya had only sent one WeChat message to Su Mu.

Although the content of that message was a bit lengthy, the meaning He Qiya wanted to convey was singular.

Now He Qiya couldn’t console herself with the excuse that Su Mu hadn’t noticed her message.

He Qiya felt that Su Mu’s lack of response might be because he did not want her to look for him after starting university.

Of course, He Qiya was very disappointed.

Luckily, Su Mu had not outright rejected her.

He Qiya felt she should get Su Mu to change his mind before he utters the word "no."

So, He Qiya hurriedly composed another message and sent it to Su Mu.

He Qiya of course understood that Su Mu had recently taken her out and agreed to celebrate her birthday not because he had feelings for her but because of requests from her mother and Aunt Ping.

He Qiya had come to understand this while overhearing her mother and Aunt Ping on the phone.

He Qiya knew that Su Mu agreed to spend her birthday with her solely at the request of her mother and Aunt Ping.

He Qiya knew that in Su Mu’s heart, she was just a sister from a family friend with a pitiable past.

However, He Qiya didn’t mind these things.

As long as she could get Su Mu to spend time with her, to take her out, it was enough.

He Qiya simply wanted to have more contact with Su Mu.

He Qiya also believed that after spending more time with Su Mu, he would definitely come to like her.

Of course, He Qiya was unaware of the fact that Su Mu already had a girlfriend.

It seemed neither He Qiya nor her mother had ever considered the possibility that Su Mu might have a girlfriend.

Neither of them had even considered the thought that someone as outstanding as Su Mu could be without a girlfriend.

Of course, that would be a different story if Su Mu didn’t fancy any of the girls who adored him.

However, for Huang Yuqin and He Qiya, it seemed both were subconsciously refusing to admit the possibility that Su Mu might already have a girlfriend.

Perhaps knowing that Su Mu had a girlfriend, He Qiya really wouldn’t have had the courage to approach him.

Because of Su Mu’s "silence," He Qiya had no choice but to play the pitiful card.

Although what He Qiya said was the truth.

But given He Qiya’s personality, how could she possibly use her experiences to gain others’ sympathy?

To He Qiya, that was something only the weak would do.

Being strong-willed, He Qiya certainly didn’t want others to see her as weak.

Yet, all the things He Qiya normally disdained paled in comparison to the possibility of being rejected by Su Mu.

He Qiya didn’t feel that showing vulnerability made her any less in Su Mu’s eyes.

He Qiya had realized that Su Mu was only willing to accompany her on her birthday out of "pity."

But since she didn’t detect a hint of contempt in Su Mu’s eyes, He Qiya didn’t feel inferior.

He Qiya even thought this might be an advantage for her.

Otherwise, He Qiya really didn’t know what kind of excuse to use for sticking to Su Mu like glue.

Honestly, He Qiya hadn’t seen Su Mu acting particularly affectionate towards any girl.

Naturally, He Qiya believed that Su Mu generally maintained a distance from girls.

This belief only reinforced He Qiya’s judgement of Su Mu.

Anyway, it never really crossed He Qiya’s mind that Su Mu might already have a girlfriend.

I wonder if it should be called self-hypnosis.

Or should it be said that He Qiya was "lucky."

Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan also often went out for meals and shopping together.

And though they were in the same city, He Qiya had never encountered them even once.

That aside, even though everyone indeed lived in the same city, Huadong City was still quite large after all.

Not meeting them was an understandable occurrence.

The irony was, at the Su family’s celebration banquet, Jiang Xinxuan just happened to go to her uncle’s house with her mother because of something related to Bai Wanting.

Thus, she lost a great opportunity to announce herself as Su Mu’s girlfriend in front of everyone.

He Qiya did attend the Su family’s banquet.

At the Su family’s banquet, He Qiya even had the fortune to witness Su Mu singing.

So you see, He Qiya really was lucky.

If Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t gone to Huangtong City because of Bai Wanting’s matter and had attended the Su family’s celebration banquet instead,

He Qiya probably wouldn’t have had the chance to even deceive herself.

Let alone now, when He Qiya still had the courage to think about getting a positive answer from Su Mu when she would go to his university to find him after starting college herself. freeweɓnøvel.com

I just don’t know what He Qiya will think when she goes to Wudong City for college,

and one day she learns the fact that Su Mu actually already had a girlfriend.

Moreover, Su Mu had no intention of hiding this from He Qiya.

In Su Mu’s eyes, he and He Qiya were just ordinary friends.

Whether or not he had a girlfriend wasn’t something he felt he needed to mention specifically to He Qiya.

Of course, Su Mu wouldn’t have minded if He Qiya found out about his girlfriend.

It’s just that there’s no opportunity right now.

At that time, He Qiya wouldn’t know what kind of mood she would be in.

Anyway, the current He Qiya doesn’t know about these things.

The He Qiya who doesn’t know that Su Mu has a girlfriend can certainly fantasize in her heart about the possibility of a day when she and Su Mu might end up together.

When Su Mu saw the last WeChat message from He Qiya, his lips curled up.

So it turns out that He Qiya is afraid of not having any acquaintances in Wudong City.

Su Mu felt he should be able to understand why He Qiya was so eager to get his reply.

It might have something to do with He Qiya’s experiences abroad.

In Su Mu’s view, He Qiya hadn’t completely gotten over being thrown into studying abroad alone and suffering that cold violence.

Perhaps He Qiya thought of Wudong City as another "foreign world."

The same unfamiliarity with the place, the absence of friends, the same studying alone.

The only difference was that in Wudong City, people with the same skin color made up the overwhelming majority.

That counts as a plus.

Su Mu thought that the biggest difference between Wudong City and the foreign country where He Qiya used to stay is that in Wudong City, He Qiya still knows him.

It’s a very fortunate coincidence that Su Mu will also be studying in Wudong City.

For He Qiya, this might be like a lifesaver.

That’s why He Qiya kept asking Su Mu over and over if she could come to find him after she started university.

Su Mu silently shook his head.

Originally, when Su Mu saw He Qiya chatting quite happily with Four Eyes,

he thought that He Qiya’s iceberg had begun to melt.

He didn’t expect that just by going to a city not too far from Huadong City, He Qiya would show such anxiety.

Subconsciously, Su Mu thought he should talk to Aunt Qin.

To suggest whether Aunt Qin should consider accompanying her for her studies.

But on second thought, Su Mu figured maybe Aunt Qin and the others had their own considerations.

After all, He Qiya is an adult now, so she can’t always have family accompanying her, can she?

With that in mind, Su Mu just replied with two words: "Okay."

If He Qiya really felt scared being in Wudong City,

Su Mu meant that if he had time, it wouldn’t be impossible for He Qiya to come find him occasionally.

Of course, this is limited to just occasionally.

Su Mu wasn’t prepared to accompany He Qiya often.

In the end, He Qiya isn’t his girlfriend, and Su Mu isn’t obligated to frequently accompany her, is he?

If He Qiya still can’t adapt by that time, then it should be something for Aunt Qin and He Qiya’s father to consider.

Su Mu can’t possibly take care of everything.

Helping someone also has its limits, Su Mu understood that much.

But for now, He Qiya is just speaking hypothetically, as she hasn’t actually started coming to him often.

So Su Mu spoke so directly.

If He Qiya turns out to be coming to him too frequently later on, Su Mu felt he should talk to Aunt Qin about it.

"That’s great, thank you, Su Mu!"

He Qiya certainly didn’t know what Su Mu was thinking.

As far as He Qiya was concerned, Su Mu’s agreement meant that once she started college, she could rightfully visit Su Mu at his school.

Of course, this was terrific news for He Qiya.

He Qiya restrained herself and didn’t make any overly excited comments.

Naturally, Su Mu didn’t know that at this moment, He Qiya was dancing on her bed.

If Su Mu saw the frenzied He Qiya, he might think she had lost her mind.

Of course, without that possibility, Su Mu could never know that his mere two words would elicit such an excited reaction from the ice queen, He Qiya.

If Su Mu could see it, maybe he’d start wondering why He Qiya was so thrilled by his agreement to let her visit him at college.

That seemed to go beyond a normal friendship, didn’t it?

Since there was no such possibility, He Qiya’s feelings for Su Mu would have to remain buried in her own heart for now.

After jumping around on her bed for a while, He Qiya finally managed to calm her emotions slightly.

Looking at the two words "Alright" sent by Su Mu, He Qiya felt that her efforts to get her father to send her to Wudong City for college were not in vain.

He Qiya’s decision to attend college in Wudong City was entirely because Su Mu was studying there.

If Su Mu didn’t agree to her visiting him, wouldn’t all of He Qiya’s efforts have been a waste?

Of course, whether the effort is wasted isn’t the most important thing.

What’s most important is that He Qiya wouldn’t be able to interact more with Su Mu, cultivate feelings with him, or speak of happiness for the second half of her life.

He Qiya was now full of anticipation for the wonderful college life ahead.

What He Qiya didn’t know was that because of her deliberate decision, Su Mu’s college journey would become a trio.

Of course, He Qiya was the superfluous third person.

Who knows how He Qiya would face the dilemma of being the third wheel when the time came?

In contrast to He Qiya’s excitement, Su Mu’s heart remained undisturbed.

There were plenty of people going to Wudong City to study; one more He Qiya wouldn’t make much difference.

Su Mu casually clicked on Xia Shuya’s profile picture.

If it weren’t for Xia Shuya’s message, Su Mu would have almost forgotten to contact this obedient young woman.

Su Mu got together with Xia Shuya because there wasn’t that intimate relationship between him and Jiang Xinxuan yet.

As a newly adult young man, Su Mu was naturally very curious about certain things.

Adding on the fact that Xia Shuya was a great beauty who had taken the initiative to approach him.

And from the beginning, Su Mu had made the situation very clear, and Xia Shuya was well aware of her role, so their relationship was consensual.

Naturally, Su Mu had no reason to refuse.

After getting together, Su Mu discovered that not only was Xia Shuya beautiful, but she also had a great quality—she was obedient.

Such a beautiful and compliant woman, who was extremely accommodating to any of Su Mu’s requests when they were together, satisfied Su Mu for a time.

However, after Su Mu and Xuanxuan went on a trip, the nature of his relationship with her changed substantially.

Between the two women, one a temporary companion and the other his girlfriend, Su Mu was well aware which was more important.

Having his girlfriend constantly by his side, Su Mu naturally couldn’t remember that Xia Shuya was waiting for him.

After all, no matter how beautiful Xia Shuya was, she couldn’t compare to Jiang Xinxuan.

Besides, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan truly had feelings for each other.
