Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Why Is It So Troubling?

"It’s that bad auntie who came to snatch Daddy away last time!"

Chi Yue’s heart sank. "Could it have been a mistake?"

Fu Mianmian said, "She picked me up from kindergarten before, and all the kids know her."

After calming Fu Mianmian’s emotions, Chi Yue made a phone call to Fu Rongyin.

Fu Rongyin, either busy or not, didn’t answer the phone.

Chi Yue had a plan in mind.

Fu Rongyin called back just before getting off work, sounding very weary, "You called me?"

"Yes, I was wondering if you could come home early tonight. Mianmian said she hasn’t seen you in a long time."

Fu Mianmian went to bed early, and Fu Rongyin got home late. Since he left early in the morning, the father and daughter had been missing each other.

Fu Rongyin thought for a moment, then said, "I’ll try to come back early tonight."

Chi Yue hesitated to speak.

Sensing something was off, Fu Rongyin asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, let’s talk when you get back."

After hanging up, Chi Yue received a message on her phone containing only a photo of Fu Rongyin and Lu Nanxi walking side by side.

Chi Yue squinted at the photo for a long time, finally putting her phone away expressionlessly.

Fu Rongyin came home half an hour before Fu Mianmian’s bedtime.

Nan Baixuan tactfully returned to his room, and Chi Yue left Fu Mianmian with Fu Rongyin before heading to Nan Baixuan’s.

Whispering, Fu Mianmian wrapped her arms around Fu Rongyin’s neck, "Daddy, Mommy isn’t happy."

Fu Rongyin raised his eyebrows, "Why isn’t she happy?"

"Mommy knows you had dinner with that auntie, and she’s very unhappy. Daddy, I’m unhappy too. Why did you have dinner with that auntie? She bullied you!" noveldrama

Fu Rongyin furrowed his brows, "Who told you that?"

"All the kids in my class saw it, and they thought the bad auntie was my stepmom."

Fu Rongyin’s brows knitted tightly together, "That’s not true; I haven’t had dinner with anyone recently."

The only time could have been when he had arranged to meet with Chu Shuo, who then failed to show, and Lu Nanxi came to discuss a partnership, only to be yelled at by him and running off.

But he couldn’t explain it to Fu Mianmian, thinking he would clarify it with Chi Yue later.

Fu Mianmian, perhaps intentionally, clung to him, playing until after ten o’clock before she could no longer resist sleep and drifted off.

Fu Rongyin returned to the master bedroom to find Chi Yue absent. After searching a few places, he found her fast asleep in Nan Baixuan’s room.

Fu Rongyin couldn’t help but chuckle. He went to carry her back to their room, but as soon as he touched her, she opened her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Chi Yue glared at him.

"Going back to our room to sleep."

Chi Yue pushed his hand away, "I’m sleeping just fine here."

Fu Rongyin quietly climbed into the bed, startling Chi Yue, "What are you doing?"

"If you refuse to go back, then I have no choice but to join you here," he replied.

Not wanting to wake Nan Baixuan, Chi Yue shot him an annoyed look and returned to the master bedroom.

Fu Rongyin followed closely behind but first went to the bathroom.

Chi Yue lay in bed unable to sleep, especially after seeing Fu Rongyin, as the image of that photo came back to her.

Even though she suspected the photo might have been Photoshopped, it still genuinely bothered her.

The bed behind her dipped, and then she was pulled into a warm embrace.

"Mianmian said you’re unhappy, hmm?"

With warm breath on her neck, Chi Yue subconsciously shied away, only to be pulled in even tighter.

Chi Yue struggled uncomfortably, "I’m not unhappy, it’s just that I feel... "

"What is it?"

"I feel like the moment you recovered, you started flirting around. How can you be so thoughtless?"

Fu Rongyin was taken aback.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Then think of a way to leave a clear mark on me, so everyone knows I’m yours when they see me."

Chi Yue pushed him away without amusement, "Even if I wrote ’my property’ on your face, those with intentions wouldn’t care, would they?"

Fu Rongyin seemed to think of something else to discuss, his handsome brows furrowing deeply, "Lu Nanxi came to me, proposing a deal. I turned her down, and she mentioned you..."

He suddenly stopped, "Speaking of the Lu Family business, do you have any thoughts?"

Chi Yue was confused.

With patience, Fu Rongyin explained, "Lu Cheng can no longer hold out. If you have any aspirations, now would be the best time to take over the Lu Family’s company."
