Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Who Marries Who is Unlucky!
At night, Chi Yue tossed and turned, struggling to fall asleep, and when she finally did, she had a very strange dream.
In the dream, she was holding a baby in swaddling clothes, hugging it tightly with unstoppable affection.
Bai Qing and a friend were sitting nearby, laughing and saying, "This child really likes her little brother."
A beautiful woman nearby said, "If she likes him, that’s good. If Ah Chuan grows up and Yueyue isn’t married yet, we should let them be together."
Bai Qing laughed, "How do you know he won’t mind that Yueyue is six years older than him when he grows up?"
"I don’t know my own son? ’A woman three years older, gold bricks to hold’; a woman six years older, that’s two gold bricks."
The scene shifted, and Chi Yue was now in high school.
Chi Yue once again encountered the beautiful woman, who was accompanied by a cool, bratty boy. In a playful mood, she actually managed to make the ten-year-old boy cry several times, even cursing that she would never get married.
The beautiful woman scolded, "Is that how you talk about your future wife? If she can’t get married, won’t you still have her?"
What did he say at the time?
He said, "Such a fierce wife, whoever marries her is unlucky! I definitely don’t want to marry her!"
...
Chi Yue opened her eyes, her gaze clear.
She remembered.
Fu Xingchuan was that stubborn boy who adamantly refused to marry her; no wonder he looked at her with such an evaluating gaze when they first met.
Chi Yue pinched the bridge of her nose.
After that meeting, they had not seen each other again. When exactly had he changed his mind about not wanting to marry her?
However, she really didn’t take it to heart, assuming it was just a joke among adults.
After completing her confinement period, Chi Yue returned to her studio.
Fu Rongyin hadn’t shown up these past few days, but she heard from Chi Jianshan that Fu Rongyin had picked up Fu Mianmian from kindergarten a few times after school and walked her to the door before leaving.
His avoidance meant peace for her.
Busy all morning, Dai Qiu led a client in, knocking on the door.
Chi Yue looked up, and was instantly stunned.
Wasn’t this the beautiful woman from her dream?
Qin Ya walked in, smiling at her, yet it seemed like she was looking through her at someone else.
Chi Yue came back to her senses, "Hello, you..."
"Yueyue, don’t you recognize me?"
Chi Yue nodded, "Aunt Qin~"
Qin Ya smiled, "It’s been so many years, I thought you had forgotten about me."
Chi Yue went over to make her tea after she took a seat, "What brings you here?"
Qin Ya sighed, "I’ve come because of Ah Chuan, that child... If he’s done anything that has upset you, please don’t take it to heart. He’s just been spoiled by me."
Chi Yue nodded.
"So many years have gone by... if your mother were still here, she would certainly be proud of you."
Chi Yue listened quietly, without expressing any opinion.
Finally, Qin Ya finished the niceties and revealed the purpose of her visit today, "I know that child is obsessed with you. It’s my fault. When he was younger, he lacked a father’s love, which I failed to notice, and I often mentioned you to him, to the extent that he secretly returned to find his biological father, and you..."
She paused, then said, "Yueyue, if you have feelings for him, could you possibly..."
The office door was suddenly opened and a tall man stepped in with long strides.
Chi Yue only glanced at him before turning away, but the man came to her side, assertively pulling her into his protective embrace.
Qin Ya frowned at the man by Chi Yue’s side. He leaned back on the sofa with one arm behind Chi Yue, ambiguously yet assertively marking his territory.
"This is..." Qin Ya finally broke the silence.
Chi Yue was about to speak when the man beside her preempted her, his tone light, "Her lawful husband."
