Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Divergence
Chi Yue shook her head without thinking, "Not to mention we have a one-month agreement, but even without it, now is not the time to have children."
"Do you want to disappoint Mianmian?"
"Don’t use Mianmian to pressure me, you just want me to get pregnant and then not bring up divorce, right? I do not deny that we’ve been getting along moderately well these days, but Fu Rongyin, as long as the issues between us are unresolved, we cannot truly be together."
After saying this, she lay down with her back to him.
There was no sound from behind her, and after a while, he also lay down.
That night, each of them slept separately, which seemed to return them to their initial relationship.
From that day on, their relationship cooled down again.
Chi Yue went to work as usual, occasionally picking up Fu Mianmian.
That day, Xuesong came over again.
She walked into her office with a thermos in hand, smiling faintly.
"I heard you’ve been expanding the business lately and haven’t had time to eat properly. I made you some soup, would you like to try it?"
Chi Yue put down the file, her gaze wary.
"Lady Fan, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There’s no need to use such tactics, it makes me uncomfortable, and I’m not used to it."
She even found it strange.
Xuesong paused, then smiled and said, "What are you thinking? I just feel that I did too many things wrong to you in the past, and now I want to make it up to you. Don’t feel too burdened, just think of me as family."
As she spoke, she passed a bowl of soup over, "Would you like to try?"
Chi Yue didn’t move.
Xuesong waited for a while, then said, "Don’t worry, there’s nothing in this soup, don’t feel pressured."
"Lady Fan, I think we need to have a serious talk. If you are trying to get me to persuade Fu Rongyin to go back to Nancheng with you, you can stop wasting your efforts on me, it’s pointless."
"How could that be? Your relationship is so good right now... and I’m not doing this to make him go back, I really want to make up for it."
"And then what? Get him to accept you and help you secure your position in the Gu Family? Lady Fan, I’m not foolish, and I’m not completely isolated from information. It was Lu Cheng behind your back, wasn’t it? He is now with the Gu Family, their son-in-law; do you think you can outmaneuver him?"
Xuesong’s expression finally changed.
After a while, she asked, "Did Fu Rongyin tell you all this?"
"Don’t forget, I am not without connections in Hai City; I can’t be kept in the dark about these matters."
Xuesong fell silent.
She indeed had underestimated Chi Yue, but that didn’t mean Chi Yue could reach into Hai City.
Composing herself, she continued to smile, "You misunderstood, I really want to make it up to you, but you might not be used to it in a short time; you’ll get used to it eventually."
Seeing that she insisted, Chi Yue didn’t say anything further, instead she said, "Just leave it there, I’ll drink it when I’m done."
Seeing that Chi Yue let it slide, Xuesong quietly breathed a sigh of relief, set down the items, and said, "Then I won’t disturb your work."
"Hmm."
Chi Yue was busy the whole afternoon, and by the time she remembered the soup Xuesong had brought, it had long since cooled.
Even if the soup hadn’t cooled, she had no intention of drinking it.
The next day, Xuesong came again, this time with food; Chi Yue didn’t refuse, but she also didn’t eat.
In the following days, Xuesong appeared punctually in her office, Chi Yue’s attitude towards her didn’t change much. However, Dai Qiu couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke a few words to Chi Yue.
Chi Yue’s intention was to let her be; otherwise, she would find other excuses to approach her, and Dai Qiu couldn’t say much more.
Fu Rongyin somehow heard the news and suddenly arrived at the studio.
When he burst into the office, Xuesong was taking the items out of the food container.
"I also don’t know what you like to eat, so I just made some things randomly. If you like it, just tell me, and next time I’ll bring more."
