Page 536 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Chi Yue took several bottles of beer from the refrigerator to the backyard.

There was a crawling mat for Fu Mianmian on the grass, and the two sat on it.

Chi Yue opened a can of beer for Leng Siling, and opened one for herself as well.

About halfway through, Leng Siling finally spoke up, "I heard everything you said to Chu Shuo today. Do you think, with their friendship, he would tell you those things?"

Chi Yue looked at her, "You know what happened to Fu Rongyin."

"Not everything, after all, Chu Shuo was guarding against me quite tightly during those years."

As she spoke, a self-mocking smile appeared on Leng Siling’s lips.

Chi Yue didn’t reply, just tilted her head back and took another sip.

"Chu Shuo... during that time Fu Rongyin disappeared to who knows where. Chu Shuo worked overtime at the company every day, and I had quite an opinion about it. One day, I went to the company to find him, and unexpectedly stumbled upon him and Fu Rongyin..."

...

The night was deep.

Chi Yue escorted Leng Siling back to the guest room before staggering back to the bedroom herself.

Fu Rongyin had apparently just come back from the study, and was about to head to the bathroom.

Seeing her return, he frowned, "Have you been drinking?"

Chi Yue closed the door, locked it, and walked shakily up to him, grabbing him by the collar, "Fu Rongyin, do you... like me this much?"

Fu Rongyin furrowed his brows, "What are you talking about?"

Chi Yue smiled, cupped his face, and planted a kiss on his lips, losing her balance, her body uncontrollably leaning to the side.

Fu Rongyin quickly caught her, but instead of holding on, she pushed back with his help, ending up on the bed, clinging onto him and refusing to let go.

The scene was exactly like the day she had provocatively approached him after losing her memory, with "seduction" clearly written all over her face, a stark contrast to her usual timid nature.

Despite this, that day, all his defenses had crumbled before her.

In a shift of thoughts, Chi Yue suddenly stopped moving.

Sensing the dampness on his clothes, he lifted Chi Yue’s head, and his brows instantly tightened, "Why are you crying?"

Chi Yue, when she cried, preferred to let her tears flow silently, without much noise.

Perhaps when people are vulnerable, a single caring word can make someone break down even more, and Chi Yue’s tears dropped more fiercely.

Fu Rongyin panicked, sat up to wipe her tears, but the more he wiped, the more she cried, and his frown deepened even more.

Finally, he sighed softly, "What exactly happened, tell me about it, hmm?"

Chi Yue threw herself onto him, hugging him, "Fu Rongyin, I really like you, I really really like you, I liked you before, and I still like you now... I’ll be good to you in the future."

Fu Rongyin couldn’t help but laugh, "Aren’t you planning to be good to me now?"

"Not good enough."

Fu Rongyin: "... I’ll wait for you to be even better to me."

Chi Yue sobbed, nodded, and then clung to him without letting go.

After a long while, Fu Rongyin discovered that the person lying on his shoulder had fallen silent; tilting his head, he saw that Chi Yue had fallen asleep.

Chi Yue woke up the next day to look for Leng Siling, only to find that the guest room was empty.

She called Leng Siling only to discover that Chu Shuo had come for her in the middle of the night and took her away.

Chi Yue couldn’t quite remember what she had done while drunk, so when she met Fu Rongyin’s teasing gaze, she was completely clueless.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Last night you clung to me saying you wanted to be good to me," he paused, looking directly into her eyes, "does it start today?"

Chi Yue stared wide-eyed in astonishment, "Did I... say that?"

Fu Rongyin, without hesitation, tapped on his phone a few times, "I recorded it, do you want to listen?"
