"Only someone who’s unsure of themselves would talk about fair competition. I don’t have time to play with you, so stop trying to pull any tricks on me."

Chi Yue walked out of the restroom, only managing to catch a glimpse of a figure hastily entering a nearby door.

It seemed to be the junior employee who had been chatting with Ah Rou, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Back at the restaurant, Fu Rongyin had already finished helping Fu Mianmian get ready. When he saw her coming, he stood up, holding Fu Mianmian, "Mianmian wants to go to the amusement park this afternoon because there’s nothing much to do."

He was asking for her opinion.

Although he acted as usual, Chi Yue could still hear the caution in his voice.

He must have noticed something off about Chi Yue since she had been here so many times and never asked to dine in the staff cafeteria before.

Chi Yue thought for a moment and said, "Then let’s go, it’ll be good to unwind."

When they played with Fu Mianmian, both devoted all their attention to her. However, what they were truly thinking inside remained a mystery.

At night, Chi Yue lay on her side, listening to the movements behind her.

She felt him lie down on the bed, move closer to her, and then his hand naturally wrapped around her waist.

Chi Yue’s body involuntarily trembled, followed by the man’s voice close to her ear, "If you’re not willing, I can stop."

Chi Yue hesitated for a long time before ultimately turning around and reaching for his shoulder...

...

Life continued this way for some time until one day, Chu Shuo showed up unexpectedly, without Leng Siling.

Seeing his poor spirits, Chi Yue couldn’t help but ask, "Did you have a fight with Miss Leng?"

Chu Shuo was taken aback for a moment before forcing a smile, "How could you tell?"

"You look downcast and have dark circles under your eyes."

Chu Shuo: "..."

Chi Yue comforted, "If you’ve had a fight, just give her a sincere apology. She’s not some unreasonable girl."

As the words fell, Fu Rongyin walked in from the entranceway.

Chu Shuo immediately left Chi Yue and dragged Fu Rongyin to the study.

Almost as soon as the door closed, Chi Yue received a call from Leng Siling.

She glanced at the closed door, answered, "Chu Shuo is here with me..."

It was two hours later when Chu Shuo and Fu Rongyin emerged from the study.

He spotted Leng Siling sitting on the sofa at first glance and froze in his tracks.

Chi Yue approached Fu Rongyin first, took his hand, and said, "We should go pick up the children. You guys have a good talk."

After leaving the house and getting into the car, Chi Yue fastened her seat belt and noticed Fu Rongyin watching her.

Chi Yue was surprised, "What’s wrong?"

"There are still two hours before Mianmian gets out of school," he said.

Chi Yue: "...Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to?"

"While giving Chu Shuo space, have you thought about giving us our own space too?"

"We always have..."

Before she could finish, Chi Yue paused.

On reflection, other than that hour before bed for in-depth communication, she realized she hadn’t given him a proper chance to talk.

As she was pondering this, Fu Rongyin spoke again, "I know you’ve always been bothered by Ah Rou’s issue, and you don’t like her working in my company, but could you wait a bit longer? She can’t leave just yet."

Chi Yue looked up at him, her expression cold, "That’s your employee, just make a decision."

Fu Rongyin pressed his lips together, "She has other uses for me, but she will never replace you. Yueyue, do you trust me?"

Subconsciously, Chi Yue felt she should trust him, but she replied, "What if I said I don’t?"

Without a second thought, Fu Rongyin said, "You can come and supervise me."

"How do I supervise? You work with her in the same office every day, sometimes even in the break room. What are you expecting me to see? Fu Rongyin, if there was nothing between you and her, if you hadn’t given her any hope, would she keep clinging to you like this?"

After Chi Yue finished speaking, she saw Fu Rongyin’s expression change multiple times, yet he said nothing.

Chi Yue suddenly felt very bored.

She sat up straight, looking ahead, "Let’s go, we should pick up Mianmian."

There was no response from beside her.

After a long while, she heard Fu Rongyin say, "Chi Yue, are you jealous?"
