Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Fu Xingchuan’s Circle of Friends
“Divorce?” Dai Qiu was shocked as her mouth fell open. “How could you guys be getting a divorce?”
“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it later when there’s a chance. You don’t need to concern yourself too much with our affairs in the future. No need to let me know specially when he comes,” she said.
“This…”
Dai Qiu still couldn’t believe it. She had thought highly of them as a couple, and now they were getting a divorce.
Had all the messages she had sent to Fu Rongyin been superfluous then?
Dai Qiu was conflicted.
Chi Yue, unaware of Dai Qiu’s dilemma, went downstairs where the man leaning against the car strode over to her.
Chi Yue did not avoid him, waiting for him to speak.
“I’ll take you back,” he said.
Chi Yue declined politely, “I’ve made other plans.”
Fu Rongyin’s brow furrowed slightly. “Do you really have to talk to me like this?”
“Then how do you want me to talk to you? Should I coddle and pamper you?”
“Chi Yue, you’re still angry,” he noted.
His tone was not questioning but affirming.
Chi Yue curled her lips, “Why should I be angry? What’s there to be angry about? If you don’t like me, it’s fine if someone else does.”
Fu Rongyin’s expression darkened. “So you bring in Fu Xingchuan to act? Chi Yue, you can’t choose him.”
“That’s no longer your concern.”
Clearly not wanting to continue the conversation, Chi Yue saw Fu Xingchuan’s car stop by the roadside out of the corner of her eye and promptly walked towards it.
A forceful pull drew her back, and he forcibly held her in his arms, softening his tone, “What must I do to keep you from being angry?”
He admitted that seeing her with Fu Xingchuan indeed made him angry.
But Chi Yue’s words made him freeze completely, “What if I ask you to swear never to see Lu Nanxi again, could you do that?”
Fu Rongyin’s eyes dimmed slightly, “Yueyue…”
Chi Yue broke free from his embrace. “If you can’t do it, then stop bothering me.”
The next second, Fu Xingchuan appeared behind Chi Yue, chiming in, “Yes, not every man can do that, Yueyue. Don’t worry, I will never use such methods to hurt you.”
“Fu Xingchuan, you know the Fu Family would never allow her in.”
“So what? If she can’t enter the Fu Family’s door, she’ll enter the Qin Family’s door, or if need be, I’ll enter the Chi Family’s door.”
Fu Rongyin’s face turned steely.
Seizing the moment, Chi Yue whisked away with Fu Xingchuan.
As the car drove away, Chi Yue finally spoke, “Thanks for coming.”
Before she went downstairs, she had called Fu Xingchuan, asking if he could come, and he agreed without a second thought.
Fu Xingchuan smiled innocently, “It’s my pleasure, thank you for giving me the chance to show off in front of him.”
Chi Yue: “…”
Only he could feel smug about being used.
“Shall I take you to get something to eat? If I’m not mistaken, you haven’t eaten all day, right?”
Chi Yue had been in the lab the whole day, barely drinking any water, let alone eating.
She nodded, “It’s too late now, let’s go home and I’ll cook noodles for you, unless you mind…”
“Of course I don’t mind.”
Fu Xingchuan was more than willing.
No matter what he said in the past, Chi Yue never let him in. Now that she had invited him herself, how could he miss such a great opportunity?
Thus, Fu Xingchuan not only entered her home but also secretly captured the scene of them eating noodles together and posted it to his social media with the caption: “Noodles hand-made by sister taste so good.”
Meanwhile.
Fu Rongyin finished smoking an entire pack of cigarettes by the roadside. Amid the swirling smoke, certain images became clearer and clearer.
He stamped out the last cigarette butt and was ready to leave when his phone rang. Xi Yihang had sent him a screenshot—it was the social media post from Fu Xingchuan.
