Page 261 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Chi Yue nearly cried out in alarm, managing to suppress her anger, "You can’t move around conveniently after just one day?"

He was able to walk to her place just last night, so how could she possibly believe his nonsense!

But Fu Rongyin said, "If the injury is a bit more serious, I wouldn’t have to attend my own wedding."

Chi Yue: "..."

Fu Rongyin’s dissatisfaction with the marriage arranged by his family was genuine, and his resistance was also real, so there really was a possibility that he wouldn’t attend his own wedding.

However...

"What does that have to do with me?"

Chi Yue decisively pushed him away and strode out.

She didn’t look back even when a groan came from behind her.

Fu Rongyin walked just like a normal person last night, so her pushing him shouldn’t have caused any trouble.

It was Nan Yuan who got injured by him, fracturing his hand, which seriously affected his daily life.

She thought, Fu Hanyan would definitely find a way to heal Nan Yuan quickly, so Fu Rongyin was not her concern.

Chi Yue returned to the studio, asked the manager for some untested samples, and was ready to get back to the lab.

The manager, worried, called out to her, "Mr. Chi, have you been feeling a bit off lately? Even if you’re not feeling well, you have to take it easy and put your health first."

Chi Yue smiled, "Don’t worry, I know my limits."

"Um, if... if you have anything that’s bothering you, you can also talk to me about it. After all, we’ve known each other for so long."

Chi Yue nodded, "Okay, I’ll find time to talk to you later."

Though she said so, Chi Yue just wasn’t the type to confide in others.

She might mention a thing or two in front of Nan Bingyu, but that was all, and even Nan Bingyu had never seen Chi Yue emotionally collapse.

Nan Bingyu once said it was too exhausting to live like this, but Chi Yue didn’t feel that way.

It was just her nature, and she was used to it.

After work in the afternoon, Nan Bingyu came to pick up Chi Yue, and Xi Yihang was also in the car.

Nan Bingyu kept complaining, and Xi Yihang occasionally chimed in, each word soothing her based on her emotions.

Chi Yue mused, no wonder Nan Bingyu has kept Xi Yihang around for so long, there was a reason.

Once Nan Bingyu finally finished her rant, Xi Yihang considerately handed her water, "You’ve been talking so much, you must be thirsty, right?"

Nan Bingyu took it and drank a big gulp, continuing, "You have no idea how angry I was at the time. My brother, he actually..."

Suddenly realizing something, Nan Bingyu looked in Chi Yue’s direction, and her complexion immediately changed.

"I... Chi Yue, you didn’t hear anything just now, did you?"

Chi Yue played along, "I didn’t hear anything."

Nan Bingyu’s face instantly fell, "I wanted to keep it from you, but now you know... Though it’s better this way, a man like my brother isn’t worth committing to. I’ll introduce you to someone better later."

After dinner, Nan Bingyu received a call from the hospital out of the blue, saying that there was an emergency with Nan Yuan and they needed her to come over.

Chi Yue wanted to go with her but was rejected by Nan Bingyu on the grounds that she shouldn’t waste a second on trash men like Nan Yuan.

Chi Yue could only laugh it off and listen to her, letting Xi Yihang take her home.

"Miss Chi, did you grow up in Nancheng?" Xi Yihang suddenly asked.

"Yeah, I’ve lived here since I was young."

Xi Yihang smiled, "No wonder you and Xiao Yu get along so well."

Chi Yue grinned.

In such a big city, Nan Bingyu was the only one who treated her well.

When they reached downstairs, Chi Yue got out of the car, and so did Xi Yihang, because Nan Bingyu had instructed him to see Chi Yue into the apartment building.

Just as they were about to reach the building, Chi Yue suddenly stopped.

Wasn’t the man standing at the entrance, the same man whose legs were inconvenient in the hospital today?

She turned around, "You go back and find Xiao Yu; she probably needs help."

Xi Yihang kept a distance of over five meters from her, nodded slightly upon hearing her, "Okay," and looking toward the apartment entrance, he said, "Mr. Fu, long time no see."
