Page 78 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Yang Shulan was both shocked and delighted.

After calming down, she started to worry, “What if Chi Yue doesn’t want to marry into the other family?”

Chi Jianshan: “She doesn’t have a choice in the matter!”

Yang Shulan was comforted.

To her, Chi Yue only had this one use.

But when she thought about her daughter who was about to be released, she still felt her daughter deserved better.

The Chu Family was not bad, to Chi Yue’s advantage.

——

Chi Yue was unaware that they had set their sights on her.

Returning home at night, she found that Fu Rongyin was actually there.

After not seeing him for many days, besides growing some stubble, he hadn’t changed much.

When Fu Rongyin saw her staring at him, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you looking at me like that?

Come here.”

Chi Yue walked over as instructed, was pulled into his embrace, and received a kiss on her forehead.

The stubble was a bit prickly, and Chi Yue dodged, “It’s itchy.”

Fu Rongyin half-closed his eyes, “Where is it itchy?”

“Here.”

She raised her hand to touch his chin, which was somewhat poky, but the next second, she leaned in and gave it a kiss.

Fu Rongyin caught her restless hand, “Don’t stir up trouble.”

Chi Yue felt his changes and immediately dared not move.

He was not a man of great desire, but he was still a normal man, especially in the presence of a woman he was familiar with.

Chi Yue sat in his arms for a while, then suddenly asked, “Have you eaten yet?”

“No.”

“Wait for me, I’ll make something to eat.”

She had just stood up when she was pulled back into his arms, and the man held her chin and kissed her deeply.

Chi Yue’s breathing quickened, and so did the man’s.

Once he calmed down a bit, he asked, “Don’t you have anything you want to ask?”

Chi Yue looked at him blankly, “Ask what?”

“For example, what I’ve been doing these past few days.”

Chi Yue shook her head, “I don’t want to ask.”

The incident of Gu Qingyu slitting her wrists was told to her by Chu Shuo, Nan Bingyu hadn’t mentioned it to her, probably because she hadn’t received the news.

This news had been kept so tight, it meant someone was deliberately controlling it, and she didn’t want to cause trouble for anyone.

Fu Rongyin looked at her, seeming to try to see through her thoughts by looking into her eyes, but unfortunately, there were no ripples in Chi Yue’s gaze.

Fu Rongyin released her, “Go make something to eat.”

Chi Yue got up and walked to the kitchen.

The kitchen door was not closed, and she heard Fu Rongyin lowering his voice to make a phone call in the living room, but she couldn’t make out what he was saying.

To Chi Yue’s surprise, Fu Rongyin ended up staying the night.

After dinner, he took her into the bathroom, and after some exertion to aid digestion, he then carried her back to bed and wouldn’t stop until she was completely worn out.

When she woke up in the morning, Fu Rongyin was nowhere to be seen.

This was the first time he had woken up before her.

Chi Yue felt momentarily unaccustomed to this change and sat on the bed, staring blankly at the other half of the bed that had already cooled down.

Nan Bingyu’s phone call interrupted her thoughts.

She picked up, and Nan Bingyu’s voice came from the other end, “Yueyue, I heard that Gu Qingyu slit her wrists, didn’t die, and she’s getting discharged from the hospital today!”

Upon hearing this, Chi Yue immediately realized why Fu Rongyin had been acting so abnormally.

“Yueyue, did you hear what I said?”

“Mhm, go on.”

Nan Bingyu said, “Such a big incident with Gu Qingyu was covered up, and what’s more, the Fu Family let Fu Rongyin go to pick her up from the hospital.

What do you think the Fu Family is implying?”

Chi Yue’s gaze lowered, her expression unclear, “Perhaps.”

Nan Bingyu did not sense any change in her mood, and she suggested picking up Chi Yue for a meal, to which Chi Yue agreed.

In the restaurant, just as Chi Yue and Nan Bingyu sat down, Nan Bingyu received a call from Chu Shuo.

Nan Bingyu looked at Chi Yue and picked up, “Chu Shuo?”

Chu Shuo on the other end seemed very anxious, “Quickly go to Chi Yue’s place and have her stay at your family’s house for a couple of days, not your apartment.”

Nan Bingyu showed a look of astonishment, “What happened?”

“Don’t ask why for now, just the sooner, the better.”
