Chu Shuo narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Master Wu, what are you implying?"

"Whatever you think I’m implying," he said, walking forward while holding Chi Yue in his arms.

Chu Shuo grabbed Chi Yue’s hand, "Is this your own choice?"

Before Chi Yue could speak, Fu Rongyin had already tightly embraced her in his arms.

Even with Chu Shuo’s good temper, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Master Wu, are you sick? What has she done to you? Are you unhappy and just want someone to cushion your fall?"

Unexpectedly, Fu Rongyin directly answered, "That’s right, I do want someone to cushion my fall. Her tenderness is the most suitable."

Chu Shuo clenched his fists, "You’re not human!"

With that, his fist flew out.

Chi Yue was the first to react, shielding Fu Rongyin in an instant.

After realizing it, Chu Shuo’s punch barely stopped a few centimeters from her.

Once he stopped, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

For someone who regularly trained in boxing and fitness like him, a single punch wasn’t something ordinary people could withstand, especially since he hadn’t held back at all just now.

Fu Rongyin had noticed Chu Shuo’s intention to strike him the moment Chi Yue lunged forward, but what he hadn’t expected was that she would protect him.

Coming back to his senses, a chill spread across Fu Rongyin’s handsome face.

He pulled Chi Yue aside, his gaze never leaving Chu Shuo.

"Here?" he asked.

Chu Shuo’s face was taut with tension, "Let’s change the location."

Fu Rongyin started walking away but was hugged by Chi Yue.

"Can’t you two stop arguing? Chu Shuo, I’m with Master Wu voluntarily. I have no one to back me up now, and when someone targeted my company, I could only turn to him. Do you understand?"

Chu Shuo was stunned, his expression growing even colder, "Do you know what you’re saying?"

"He didn’t force me; I chose to be with him willingly. In Nancheng, only he can protect my mother’s legacy."

Chu Shuo’s gaze deepened, "Is this truly what you believe?"

"Yes."

Chu Shuo looked at her disappointedly and strode away.

Watching his retreating figure, Chi Yue felt a complex mix of emotions, yet she also breathed a sigh of relief.

If they had really started fighting, tomorrow’s headlines might have featured two men fighting over her, and then she would have to deal with untold undeserved troubles.

But before she could fully relax, Fu Rongyin pulled her away.

On the way home, Chi Yue clearly sensed that something was off about Fu Rongyin’s mood and didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

In the No.1 Bay parking garage, Chi Yue followed Fu Rongyin into the elevator, and as soon as the doors closed, she was kissed by the man who held her chin.

Chi Yue was shocked.

She reached out to push him, "You can’t!"

"I can’t?"

Looking into his brooding eyes, the fear deep within Chi Yue resurfaced, "I mean, can we go home, please? There are cameras here..."

Fu Rongyin: "No one else will be here."

As he spoke, he kissed her again, and as his rough fingertips brushed against the skin at her waist, Chi Yue felt on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, they soon arrived home, where he carried her into the bathroom and set her down on the vanity.

If Chi Yue resisted now, she would just seem coy, so she simply closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Hearing him opening a drawer and unwrapping a box, she actually felt less afraid.

At least he knew not to get her pregnant with his child.

It was a good thing; she had no such desire.

Not ever.

A fierce battle lasted through the night.

When Chi Yue got up in the morning, her legs were still sore.

Fu Rongyin uncharacteristically woke up late.

His phone by the bed kept ringing, disturbing his sleep. As he frowned and seemed about to wake up, Chi Yue hurried into the bathroom.

From the room, his voice carried, "I’m not feeling too well, woke up late... Yeah, I’m on my way now."
