Page 493 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Fu Rongyin remained motionless in his embrace, still holding the vase that he hadn’t managed to throw to the ground.

After an unknown period of time, he spoke with a hoarse voice, "Did I scare you?"

Chi Yue tightened her arms, "No, you didn’t scare me."

"Is it because I look ugly?"

Chi Yue shook her head vigorously as she searched for his hand at his side, and suddenly touched something sticky. She turned her head to look, and her pupils contracted sharply.

"You’re injured..."

The sleeves of his fingers were dyed red with blood, and a small area on the ground beside them was also stained red, a shocking sight.

Chi Yue’s hands trembled as she pulled him to sit on the sofa, carefully avoiding the sharp fragments before running to get the first aid kit.

Due to her nervousness, Chi Yue touched his wound several times while disinfecting it, frightening her until her eyes were red, but Fu Rongyin didn’t make a sound.

After finally treating the wound, Chi Yue saw that Fu Rongyin was leaning on the sofa, asleep.

She couldn’t move him to the room and didn’t have the heart to wake him.

After tidying up the first aid kit, she cleaned up the fragments on the ground. When she finished and came back, Fu Rongyin was awake again, staring at her blankly.

Chi Yue said, "Go to the room to sleep, it’s cold here."

Fu Rongyin stood up and casually took her hand as he passed by her.

As soon as Chi Yue lay down beside him, he pulled her into his arms. He didn’t do anything, just quietly rested his chin on her head, and before long, his breathing became even.

Chi Yue didn’t know when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Fu Rongyin was no longer beside her.

The cellphone on the bedside table rang, it was Fu Rongyin’s phone. She called for Fu Rongyin twice, but when he didn’t respond, Chi Yue took the phone to look for him.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, the ringing of the phone came to an abrupt halt. Chi Yue subconsciously glanced at it and saw a new message: "You need a follow-up visit."

A follow-up visit?

Hadn’t Fu Rongyin just had a follow-up visit the day before yesterday?

As she was thinking, Fu Mianmian came running up, calling her to come downstairs to eat. Chi Yue put the phone back in the room and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Chi Yue recalled the events of the previous night, and it seemed that Fu Rongyin had been emotionally unstable to act in such a way.

It had been two months since his surgery, and although he had said nothing, the restrictions on his movements had definitely had some psychological impact on him.

Beyond that, his psyche was certainly affected, especially after Lu Nanxi had come over and caused such a scene the day before.

Chi Yue went downstairs where Fu Rongyin and Fu Mianmian were already eating breakfast. Fu Rongyin appeared no different than usual, and if she hadn’t witnessed his episode the night before, she wouldn’t associate the man from last night with him now.

After breakfast, Chi Yue suddenly said, "The doctor said you can try to resume normal life now. What do you think?"

Fu Rongyin looked up, "It’s up to you."

"I think it’s possible. You hardly need a wheelchair now, and as long as you rest well, there shouldn’t be any big problems."

"Okay."

Chu Shuo and Leng Siling came over to take Fu Rongyin to the company. These days, Chu Shuo had been helping handle the company’s affairs in Hai City.

While Fu Rongyin was gathering his things, Chi Yue pulled Chu Shuo aside.

"Has Fu Rongyin been sick in the past few years?"

A flicker of something flashed through the bottom of Chu Shuo’s eyes before he asked nonchalantly, "Who doesn’t get sick?"

Chi Yue stared at him, "Lu Nanxi came to provoke him last night. Fu Rongyin was throwing things in the living room in the middle of the night."

Chu Shuo looked and indeed noticed that many of the decorations in the living room were missing.

"I don’t necessarily need to know everything, but if there is a first time for something like yesterday, there will definitely be a second time. Think about whether you want to tell me or not."

Chu Shuo’s complexion visibly changed at a rapid pace.

Just when Chi Yue thought he was about to say something to her, Chu Shuo still refused to open up, "Wait until he’s a bit better, then ask him yourself."

Chi Yue felt a surge of frustration, blocking Chu Shuo without giving up, "He’s your good friend. Are you just going to let him continue like this?"

Chu Shuo seemed to want to say something, opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing, "Let’s go to the company first. The Lu Family is a bit tricky, and it needs the fifth brother to personally clean things up."

Chi Yue: "..."
