Page 284 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

When the master was interpreting the fortune stick, he learned that Chi Yue was inquiring about marriage prospects and gave her several more looks.

With sweaty palms, Mrs. Bai Senior asked anxiously, "Master, how is it?"

The master spoke with sincere honesty, "This devotee’s marital prospects are not very smooth; relationships begin and end, but in the end, it’s still that person."

Not understanding, Mrs. Bai Senior urged, "Master, just tell me directly, is it suitable for her to get married soon?"

The master shook his head, "The time has not yet come, no need to rush, no need to rush."

Chi Yue responded with nonchalance, "Grandma, don’t take it too much to heart, I’m not in such a hurry to get married either."

Mrs. Bai Senior’s brows furrowed deeply, "How can I not be anxious? After the New Year, you’ll be thirty. When I was your age, your mom and uncle already had their lives together."

Chi Yue could only laugh, "Times have changed, and so have the standards. Come on, let me take you around over there."

The weather in early winter is fickle.

It was clear skies when they climbed the mountain in the morning, but by the time they descended, the wind had picked up, and the sky was shrouded in gloom.

Concerned about Mrs. Bai Senior’s health, Chi Yue and the caregiver decided to stay overnight at the mountainside inn.

After settling the elderly lady in, Chi Yue came out of the room, replying to a message from Nan Bingyu on her phone.

A man’s familiar voice echoed down the hallway, "I won’t be able to return today, I’ll handle it tomorrow."

Chi Yue paused, her phone rang, she silenced the call, and entered the room next to her before the man turned around.

Why was Fu Rongyin here as well?

Chi Yue stood behind the door for a moment, listening intently to the sounds outside. After a while with no further noise, she took out her phone and called Nan Bingyu back.

"Yueyue, why didn’t you answer my call?"

"I was just interrupted by something."

"That’s fine, send me your location, and I’ll come find you now."

Chi Yue raised an eyebrow, "You’re coming over?"

Nan Bingyu replied, "Yes. I’ll also go and draw a fortune stick for marriage, see who I’ll end up falling for."

Chi Yue chuckled, "Aren’t you afraid Lawyer Xi would get jealous if he finds out?"

Nan Bingyu fell silent, and after a long while, she sighed, "Yueyue, I’ve broken up with him."

Chi Yue’s expression tightened, "When did this happen?"

"It’s a long story, I’ll tell you when I get there."

After hanging up, Chi Yue sent her location to Nan Bingyu and got ready to freshen up, but at that moment, someone knocked on her door.

"Who is it?"

There was no sound from outside the door.

Chi Yue walked over, peeped through the peephole, and saw nothing.

She withdrew her gaze, and the knocking came again.

Chi Yue looked out once more and saw a service worker standing at the door, "Hello, I have brought the daily necessities you asked for."

Earlier, she had called the front desk asking the owner to send over an extra set of daily necessities.

Chi Yue opened the door, took the daily necessities, and as she was closing the door, a figure swiftly slipped in.

Chi Yue eyed the familiar face and said without discernible emotion, "Mr. Fu, do you have a lot of free time?"

Fu Rongyin responded not with an answer but with a question, "I hear the marriage fortune sticks here are very accurate. Did you come to inquire about marriage?"

"That’s not for you to worry about. The question is, why are you here seeking marriage fortune right after fleeing your wedding?"

Fu Rongyin lifted his eyes indifferently, "As you said, I have a lot of free time."

Catching sight of the fortune stick Chi Yue had placed on the cabinet, he stepped forward, reached for it, but before he could make out the writing, Chi Yue snatched it away.

Her eyes widened in anger, "Don’t mess with other people’s things!"

Fu Rongyin’s hand came back empty, his hawk-like eyes inscrutable, "A poor fortune? You were inquiring about your and Nan Yuan’s marriage prospects?"

"What concern is it of yours?" Chi Yue huffed, putting her things away, thinking to herself that no one had told her that she should be thinking of a man while drawing a marriage fortune stick. However, at that moment, the face that had flashed through her mind was Fu Rongyin’s.

Her marriage prospects with Fu Rongyin were poor?

Didn’t that also indicate from a certain perspective that Fu Rongyin was not her destined partner?

Turning around, she saw the man was still behind her, and her brows knitted in annoyance, "Why haven’t you left yet?"

"You haven’t told me, was it about the marriage prospects with Nan Yuan?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Fu Rongyin’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he was about to speak when Ling Jiayu’s voice came from outside, "Ah Yin, are you in there?"
