Su Cha smiled. “It’s indeed fate.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she sniffed and yawned.
Seeing her like this, Zong Yanxiu asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold?”
The old lady looked over in surprise. “The heater is on in the room. Why did you catch a cold?”
Su Cha shook her head. “I don’t know. It’s nothing serious. I’m going to have some ginger tea.”
It was not a big deal for her to catch a cold. She would naturally recover.
She went to the kitchen to brew ginger tea. When she returned to the inner courtyard, Bo Muyi was also there. When he saw Su Cha, he walked over nervously and frowned deeply. “They said that you have a cold?”
Su Cha held the steaming cup in her hand and shook her head. “It’s nothing. I just have a slight sniffle. There’s nothing wrong with me in other aspects.”
Bo Muyi was still worried. He suddenly lowered his head and whispered, “Was I… too much last night?”
“Cough.”
Su Cha patted his shoulder instinctively. “It has nothing to do with you. I woke up too early and felt cold when I came out this morning.”
Su Cha felt that it was inappropriate for children to talk about what happened last night. She could not help but think about Bo Muyi’s words.
Seriously.
Bo Muyi smiled lightly. Seeing that Su Cha was fine, he was relieved. He hugged her and walked into the room. “You have to be careful.”
The old lady in the distance sighed when she saw Su Cha and Bo Muyi’s state. “This child of mine has never liked to interact with strangers since he was young. You know that very few people from my maternal family have been able to come in all these years, Never mind finding a girlfriend, I had thought he was planning to live like that forever. I didn’t expect Su Cha to be able to get together with him.”
Zong Bingyi also looked over. Seeing the two of them being intimate, he clicked his tongue and said meaningfully, “It’s fate.”
It was said that something had happened to Bo Muyi back in his youth. In the end, it was Zong Yanxiu who’d happened to find him. If not for that, Bo Muyi would not have known Su Cha.
Unexpectedly, this was fate. After so many years, they still got together.
The old lady smiled in relief. “That’s true. This is fate. It’s wonderful. Today is Muyi’s birthday. Let’s not talk about anything else. I’ll go and see how the kitchen is preparing. It’s rare for you to come over. We can have a good chat today.”
After the old lady left, Tan Jinsui secretly asked Zong Yanxiu, “What exactly happened to Bo Muyi’s parents?”
Even though he asked softly, Zong Yanxiu’s expression changed slightly. He shook his head, indicating that he should not ask. He just added, “I don’t know either.”
This matter had been going on for so many years. There were too many things involved. Zong Yanxiu did not investigate in detail in order to protect Bo Muyi.
Tan Jinsui nodded and pondered.
In fact, Zong Yanxiu had told him that he had once picked up a child in a small town. He said that his surname was Bo.
Tan Jinsui did not think much about it at that time. After Bo Muyi returned to the Imperial Capital, news of his parents’ accident spread. Tan Jinsui then found out that the child Zong Yanxiu had picked up was Bo Muyi.
This was the life of the Bo family. If it were not for Zong Yanxiu, Bo Muyi would not have existed in this lifetime.
That was why Bo Muyi respected him so much. He invited only the Zong family for his birthday.
