Page 258 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

She didn’t even think before rejecting Fu Hanyan’s call, her mind was a jumbled mess.

Nan Yuan rejected her, which she didn’t really mind, rather she felt a sense of relief, but what she hadn’t expected was the reason behind it.

Fu Rongyin’s words still echoed in her head.

It turned out he had known about Nan Yuan and Fu Hanyan all along, his visit to Nan Yuan was not because she confessed her feelings for Nan Yuan, but because of Fu Hanyan.

Thinking back to the moment she had spoken to Fu Rongyin, she felt like a joke.

The ringtone of her phone interrupted her thoughts, Chi Yue glanced at it, it was Nan Bingyu.

Chi Yue answered, "Xiao Yu."

"Yueyue, where are you?"

"Something came up suddenly, I went back."

Nan Bingyu’s voice carried a trace of anger, "Tell me where you are, I’ll come to you, I have something to discuss."

Chi Yue replied, "It’s too late today, let’s do it tomorrow."

"Alright."

Chi Yue returned to the studio, took the remaining untested samples into the lab, and didn’t leave until the early hours of the morning.

Dragging her exhausted body home, she flicked on the light, and was startled by the figure sitting on the couch.

The man casually looked up at her, "I thought you weren’t going to come home tonight."

Chi Yue steadied herself, "Mr. Fu, shouldn’t you be in the hospital?"

"I’m not comfortable staying in the hospital; I prefer it here."

Chi Yue, lacking even the energy to smile, walked towards the main bedroom, "As you wish."

"You already know?"

"Know what?"

"Know that Nan Yuan and Xiao Yan have slept together."

Chi Yue’s footsteps faltered momentarily but she quickly continued to the room, "So what if I know? What difference does it make if I don’t?"

"Since you know, you should understand what you need to do."

"What do you want me to say? Not to interfere with their relationship?"

Chi Yue had already entered the room, her voice sounding distant, irritating Fu Rongyin slightly as he furrowed his brows.

Chi Yue did not hear him speak, so she let it go.

After a busy night, all she wanted was to take a shower and get a good sleep.

After getting her pajamas, she turned around, only to see him leaning against the door frame, watching her—it was unclear for how long.

Chi Yue went numb with fright and glared back expressionlessly.

The man quietly watched her, saying nothing.

Annoyed by his gaze, Chi Yue suppressed her anger and said, "What exactly do you want to do? You are about to get married, do you know what male integrity is?"

Fu Rongyin was momentarily taken aback by her choice of words, then he crooked a smirk.

"You are the first person to mention that term to me."

Knowing she wouldn’t be able to get rid of him easily, Chi Yue decided to ignore him and entered the bathroom.

Just as she was about to close the door, his voice came through again, "Are you sure you want to shower now?"

Chi Yue didn’t listen to him and closed the door in his face.

He spoke solemnly, "There’s an implicit rule between adult men and women, when a person of the opposite sex is in your home and you go take a shower, it’s essentially sending a signal..."

Before he could finish, the bathroom door opened, and Chi Yue emerged with a dark expression.

"Fu Rongyin, what exactly do you want!"

"You."

Chi Yue almost choked.

It wasn’t that she had never seen this man shameless before, but it was limited to the bedroom. This was the first time she saw him speak so seriously outside of it.

Chi Yue was at a loss for words.

She hesitated on whether to call the police when noises came from the front door.

Chi Yue was slow to react, but she immediately ran outside.

But it was already too late.

Nan Bingyu approached her, stumbling drunk, still clutching her keys.

"Yueyue, why haven’t you gone to bed? Were you waiting... *hic*... were you waiting for me?"

Nan Bingyu was known to flirt indiscriminately when drunk, regardless of the person’s gender; she wasn’t choosy.
