Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Even the Gatekeeper Thinks He’s Handsome and Clear-Eyed
Nan Bingyu’s gaze became meaningful as she looked at her.
"You knew it was his birthday today, so you specifically made him a birthday cake?"
Chi Yue, "No, I did it to thank him."
She recounted how Fu Rongyin had helped Bai Dongyang and then said, "It was a big deal, so I couldn’t just brush it off."
Nan Bingyu’s gaze deepened, "There are so many ways to thank someone, but you chose to make a cake, and on his birthday no less. Yueyue, your intentions aren’t pure."
Chi Yue felt a headache coming on.
When they were together before, she liked to make cakes, both Fu Rongyin and Fu Mianmian loved them, and remembering that today was Fu Rongyin’s birthday, she decided to make a cake, little did she know Nan Bingyu would see it like this...
Seeing her silence, Nan Bingyu laughed, "Admit it, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, I’m not mocking you. Tell me, who wouldn’t be moved by a top-notch man like Fu Rongyin? You have the advantage of proximity; if you can, why not go for it? What’s there to be shy about?"
Chi Yue, "... I really didn’t."
Nan Bingyu gave her a "I understand" look and sighed, "Ever since life became normal, I’ve felt it’s essential to have a man by your side. You wouldn’t believe it, but I find even the old guard at the guardhouse handsome."
Chi Yue nearly choked on her saliva, steadied herself, and asked, "How are things with Xi Yihang?"
"He went back to Hai City, let’s go, sister will take you to have some fun."
Nan Bingyu took Chi Yue to a club, through several doors, and arrived at a hall.
Chi Yue was speechless when she saw the person on stage.
Nan Bingyu, apparently oblivious to her discomfort, pointed to a group of hunky men on stage, saying, "Look, this is what joy looks like."
Chi Yue, embarrassed, said, "I’ll wait outside for you."
Nan Bingyu dragged her back, "Don’t, this is the joy of being a woman! It’s not easy to come here; how can we leave without having had enough fun?"
Thus, Chi Yue was forced to watch hunky men all evening.
At the end of the show, despite Nan Bingyu’s reluctance, Chi Yue dragged her away.
Nan Bingyu, still not having enough, called a taxi for her, "You go back first, I still have the next show."
Saying this, she nodded slightly toward someone not far away.
Following her gaze, Chi Yue saw a muscular man nearby, one of the hunky men from on stage.
Chi Yue wanted to say something but was forcibly shoved into the car by Nan Bingyu, who then shut the door and told the driver to drive off.
Once the car had left, she sashayed over to the man, "Brother, tonight’s fun is all up to you..."
Chi Yue couldn’t help but worry about Nan Bingyu. On second thought, Nan Bingyu had been a regular at these kinds of places; she was quite capable, so there was no need to worry about her being taken advantage of.
She looked out the window and suddenly saw Xi Yihang clenching his jaw and gripping the steering wheel in a car on the opposite side of the road.
Chi Yue thought she had seen wrong, but when she looked closely, the car window was already rolled down.
She hurriedly dialed Nan Bingyu’s number, only to find out Nan Bingyu had turned off her phone.
Chi Yue was incredibly worried, but then she remembered Nan Bingyu said Xi Yihang was in Hai City; perhaps she had seen wrong?
Besides, even if Xi Yihang had come to Nancheng, how would he know where Nan Bingyu was?
Chi Yue gradually calmed down.
Back at the Chi family’s house, a small nightlight was left on in the living room, everyone else had gone to bed.
Chi Yue went to the children’s room, tucked Fu Mianmian in properly, and then returned to the master bedroom.
She turned on the light, her eyes suddenly pausing, as her gaze fell on the man sitting on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed.
