Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Unknown Number

Chi Yue did not know when she had fallen asleep, but when she opened her eyes, it was already brightly lit outside, and the space beside her had long been vacant.

There was no discomfort in her body, and her pajamas were still properly worn. If not for Fu Mianmian’s confirmation that Fu Rongyin had returned last night, she would have doubted if it was all a dream.

Once she arrived at the company, Chu Shuo came to her office.

The two talked for half an hour when Chu Shuo suddenly stopped, "Didn’t sleep well last night?"

Chi Yue paused, puzzled.

"Since I entered your office, you’ve been continuously yawning. If you had slept well, you wouldn’t look like this. Let me guess, the old fifth came back?"

Chi Yue responded indifferently with a "hmm".

With the lights off, she could deceive herself and not think about the issues lying ahead of them, but in the daytime, she had to face them.

Chu Shuo’s smile was narrow, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, huh~"

Chi Yue glared at him.

He composed himself and said seriously, "Why didn’t you consult me about yesterday’s matter? If someone had intercepted halfway, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

Chi Yue, of course, would not tell him that she was guarding against him.

"Didn’t we succeed in the end?"

Chu Shuo was noncommittal, "When is the old fifth coming back?"

This question made Chi Yue worried, "He said now is not the time."

"Chi Yue, do you really trust him that much?"

"Besides trusting him, what else can I do? After all we’ve been through, there’s no reason to abandon him."

Chu Shuo looked at her with a meaningful gaze, "If you trust him, then keep trusting him. What he needs to do isn’t something minor."

Chi Yue wanted to ask, but Chu Shuo didn’t give her the chance to, finding an excuse to go on a business trip and not being in the company for a long period.

Chi Yue simply stopped thinking; at least they were still married and he was still by her side.

——

With Chu Shuo away, Chi Yue’s burdens at work greatly increased. Sometimes she was so busy that she simply stayed at the office overnight. noveldrama

Fu Rongyin had been at home these days, having a great time, according to Fu Mianmian.

When Mrs. Bai Senior learned that Fu Rongyin had returned, she didn’t ask anything, but after seeing Fu Rongyin with the child, she was satisfied.

Nan Bingyu called her when she had a moment, saying, "Lu Nanxi was bailed out by Mrs. Gu, did she come to settle the account with you?"

"When did this happen?" She thought it would take much longer.

"A couple of days ago. I mean, Fu Rongyin has come back, right? Are you breakneck burdening yourself with the company for him, and does he appreciate it?"

"The company is now in my name, and besides, I want him to rest for a while, spend more time with Mianmian."

Nan Bingyu sighed, "Indeed, a child shouldn’t be without a father, letting him spend more time with the child is the right thing."

Chi Yue paused for a moment before asking, "Xiao Yu, have you ever thought about finding someone to take care of you guys? A child who grows up without a father misses out on paternal love."

"What, you think too little of me as a mother? Or are you suggesting someone to be your scapegoat?"

Chi Yue held her forehead, "Xiao Yu..."

Nan Bingyu cut her off, "Okay, I know. If there really is such a person, I will consider it. Oh right, I forgot to tell you, my brother said Lady Fan and Xi Yihang have been in contact again, you and your husband be careful."

"Okay, I know."

Fu Rongyin was now by her side, and without showing his stance, Xuesong must have been anxious, so he contacted Xi Yihang again.

If they reached an agreement, not only would Fu Rongyin be affected, but Nan Bingyu could not continue living this peaceful life either.

Nan Bingyu no longer had to hide, partly thanks to Fu Rongyin who had his people watching over her.

If...

A new message entered her phone, interrupting Chi Yue’s thoughts.

She opened it—it was a photo sent from an unknown number. In the photo, Fu Rongyin held Fu Mianmian, with Lu Nanxi standing in front of them, holding an ice cream, and Mianmian’s mouth was smeared with cream.
