Chapter 744: Chapter 744: How Can One Not Get Angry?
Chi Yue didn’t look back as she coldly commanded, “Let go!”
The man wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, “What do I have to do to make you not angry?”
Chi Yue twisted a couple of times but was embraced even tighter.
She didn’t speak, simply letting him hold her.
The man pinched her chin and kissed her lightly, “Don’t be angry, hmm? I’ll come back once the matter is resolved.”
Fu Rongyin had been with her for several years, at least, and knew all her weaknesses. For instance, whenever he coaxed her like this, she would soften her attitude.
And, as he thought, Chi Yue’s attitude indeed softened.
But she still kept a stern face, “You said the same thing last time.”
Fu Rongyin kissed her again, “It’s different. This time I am going as your husband, there won’t be any problems.”
She was still playing tough, “Who knows.”
“I know.”
“…”
Even though Chi Yue felt it was shameful, Fu Rongyin’s ‘handsome man tactic’ was indeed very effective on her.
When she woke up the next day, Fu Rongyin had already left.
Unable to pinpoint her feelings, Chi Yue decided to wait a few days to see if he would keep his word.
The day after Fu Rongyin left, Nan Bingyu called Chi Yue out to vent about Xi Yihang, “I really can’t stand it anymore, Xi Yihang is not only whipped by his wife, but he’s also a slave to his daughter. I think I made the right decision not marrying him.”
Chi Yue simply smiled without saying a word.
Although Nan Bingyu was complaining, the happiness on her face was unmistakable. Even if Xi Yihang was a bother to her, it was a happy bother.
After Nan Bingyu had vented for quite a while and finally released her feelings, she looked left and right, “Why isn’t ‘yours’ following you today?”
“He left.”
“Where to?”
“Beijing.”
Nan Bingyu’s face fell immediately, “What is really going on with him? Yueyue, are you just watching him mess around?”
Chi Yue appeared indifferent, “He can do what he likes, I can’t control him.”
Nan Bingyu was indignant on her behalf, “What is that man thinking? As far as I know, Zhan Youyou is already married off. Is he going over there to inherit the Qi family’s fortune?”
Chi Yue shook her head.
She truly didn’t know.
Just at that moment, Chu Shuo appeared from nowhere, interrupting their conversation, “What a coincidence.”
Nan Bingyu’s eyes lit up, teasing him, “I heard you’ve been going on blind dates recently, any potential matches?”
Chu Shuo sat down, “Nothing for now, but there’s someone I’m considering for marriage.”
“Who?”
Nan Bingyu was curious about who Chu Shuo would marry, especially since Leng Siling, who seemed the most likely candidate, had already gotten engaged to someone else.
However, Chu Shuo didn’t answer her, instead, he turned to Chi Yue, “Old Five left again today, did you know?”
Chi Yue nodded nonchalantly, “Yeah, he mentioned it.”
“Do you know what he went back for?”
“I don’t.”
Chu Shuo smiled, “Seems like you, as his wife, are only one in name, I might even know more than you. I can tell you this—he left with Zhan Qing, and there was another man with them, identity unknown.”
Chi Yue instantly thought of the middle-aged man. She had seen that man every time she saw Zhan Qing.
Seeing Chi Yue was not very interested in Fu Rongyin’s affairs, Chu Shuo changed the subject, “Have you thought about what I asked you last time? Are you ready to be with me?”
Before Chi Yue could even speak, Nan Bingyu pulled Chu Shuo aside forcefully, “Are you crazy? She’s a married woman!”
