Chi Yue: "..."

"Being jealous isn’t a big problem, realizing you’re jealous can be a good thing. Come on, let me analyze this for you..."

...

At noon, Chi Yue was ready to receive a call from Fu Rongyin, saying he was at the hospital entrance.

Chi Yue didn’t want to keep the appointment, but Nan Bingyu pushed her out the door, "Go, go and listen to what he has to say."

Chi Yue went and got into Fu Rongyin’s car.

Throughout the ride, Fu Rongyin talked quite a lot, but she remained aloof from start to finish, yet he didn’t seem angry at all.

Once at the restaurant, not long after they were seated, Ah Rou arrived.

"Ah Yin, Miss Chi~"

She took the seat next to Fu Rongyin with a smile brimming on her face, then turned to Chi Yue and said, "I didn’t have time to come over originally, but Ah Yin said you had some misunderstandings about us and asked me to come and explain."

Chi Yue’s hand clenched into a fist under the table. She kept a placid smile on her face without engaging in conversation.

Ah Rou seemed not to care and went straight on: "Actually, I’ve known Ah Yin for ten years now.

Back then, he wasn’t in a good state and would sometimes shout a name at me.

I didn’t know whose name he was shouting, not until recently when my sister mentioned that he got married, to someone named Chi Yue.

That’s when I realized it was your name he’d been calling. "

After saying this, she looked at Fu Rongyin, who was calmly pouring tea for Chi Yue.

Ah Rou laughed and said, "See, he’s always like this, no matter what he does, he only remembers you. Sometimes he even treats me as you, asking me to do things you two had done together, and one time, he actually mistook me for you..."

Realizing she had misspoken, she quickly said, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought that up, but you can rest assured, Miss Chi, nothing happened between us in the end."

At this, both Fu Rongyin and Chi Yue turned to look at her simultaneously.

Fu Rongyin’s eyes carried a warning, which Chi Yue caught in full.

She tightened her grip on her purse and said with a smile, "It’s really hard for you to remember so clearly.

It’s also my fault. Those ten years, I was the one who did him wrong.

If I hadn’t forgotten him, he wouldn’t have looked for a substitute.

But a substitute is still a substitute, it can never replace real feelings. "

Ah Rou’s face changed slightly, she looked at Fu Rongyin for help, but he didn’t even glance at her, his affectionate gaze consistently on Chi Yue.

After a long silence, Fu Rongyin finally turned to her, and amidst her hopeful eyes, he said, "Sorry, we have something else to do, so we’ll leave first. Put this meal on my tab."

With that, he led Chi Yue out.

Chi Yue knew without looking back that Ah Rou’s expression must be quite unattractive at the moment.

Fu Rongyin called her to speak on his behalf, but she had covertly tried to drive a wedge between their feelings.

Chi Yue saw everything clearly, just not sure if Fu Rongyin took it seriously.

Once in the car, Fu Rongyin leaned over to fasten her seat belt and softly said, "Shall I take you to your favorite restaurant?"

Chi Yue, surprised by his move, asked instinctively, "Aren’t you worried that Ari will come with her sister to settle scores with you?"

A glint of resignation crossed Fu Rongyin’s face, "She’s just my doctor, I paid for the treatment, helping her was only to be expected."

There’s no denying it, Fu Rongyin’s actions indeed dissolved half of her resentment.

She thought, if he could always be like this, this matter would probably just blow over.

But Chi Yue didn’t anticipate that just when things were getting better between her and Fu Rongyin, trouble would strike from Ah Rou’s side.
