Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Isn’t it normal to sleep in the same room before we’re divorced?
Perhaps hearing some noise, the man opened his eyes, a layer of bewilderment clouding his handsome, phoenix-like pupils.
"Where have you been?" His voice was husky, carrying an almost imperceptible pressure.
Chi Yue thought of Nan Bingyu, and without thinking, she blurted out, "Went to see some hunk. Why are you in my room?"
However, the man automatically ignored the latter part of her sentence, his tone dangerous, "Hunk?"
"Yes."
"What makes someone a hunk?"
Chi Yue casually glanced at him, "A physique stronger than yours, more muscles, better skills..."
She was interrupted before she could finish, "Better skills, as in better than mine?"
Chi Yue, thinking of something, felt her ears and neck flush red, and she kept a rigid face trying to look calm, "What does that have to do with you? Why are you in my room?"
Fu Rongyin looked at her with a meaningful gaze, "My father-in-law said that the guest room at home is being renovated and can’t accommodate people, so I had to stay in the master bedroom."
Chi Jianshan indeed had mentioned this to her. Before going to Hai City, he had intended to do it but postponed the plan. However, even if he wanted to renovate the guest room, it wouldn’t start until tomorrow at the earliest. He was clearly trying to bring them together!
Realizing this, Chi Yue was even less inclined to give Fu Rongyin a friendly reception.
She picked up her clothes and walked out with a blanket, "Since you like the master bedroom so much, you can have it."
The guest room was still livable. She could manage for one night. As for Fu Rongyin, he couldn’t possibly stay here indefinitely.
However, the next day, Chi Yue found that things were worse than she had thought.
After breakfast, Chi Jianshan pulled Chi Yue aside, "Why did you go to sleep in the guest room last night?"
Chi Yue’s tone was not too pleasant, "Without my consent, you sent someone to my room, so I had to go to the guest room to avoid suspicion."
"Avoid what suspicion? You’re not divorced yet, isn’t it normal to sleep in the same room?"
"I’ve already filed for divorce. Don’t make such pointless arrangements in the future."
Seeing that Chi Yue was resolute about divorcing Fu Rongyin, Chi Jianshan softened his tone, "I’ve heard all about what happened between the two of you, and he explained it. It was the Gu Family causing trouble. If you really divorce him, won’t you be playing right into their hands? Besides, he’s no longer in contact with them. Why don’t you step back and have a good life together?"
Anger colored Chi Yue’s brows and eyes, "You believe him just because he said he’s not contacting them? Yesterday, just before leaving, I caught him and Lu Nanxi in the office... I won’t say what they were doing, but if you’d heard their conversation, you would realize how ridiculous your actions are."
Chi Jianshan was taken aback, and his voice to persuade her quieted, "In the end, he is Mianmian’s father. Mianmian has to grow up. Are you going to keep it from her for life?"
"Not every father is a qualified one. If he really cared about Mianmian, he shouldn’t have done those things!"
Seeing Chi Yue getting angry, Chi Jianshan sighed, "Fine, I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore. As long as you’re happy, that’s good."
Chi Yue’s expression softened a bit, "Just take good care of Mianmian for me."
When they returned to the living room, Fu Rongyin was still attentively playing with Fu Mianmian. Seeing them come over, Fu Rongyin got up, "I have to go, something came up."
Chi Jianshan wanted him to come over in the evening, but the words on the tip of his tongue changed to, "You go ahead and take care of your business."
Chi Yue responded indifferently with a "Hmm," and started packing things up for Fu Mianmian, getting ready to take her to kindergarten.
Back in Nancheng, everything returned to normal routine, and Chi Yue returned to her studio.
After spending a whole morning in the lab, she received a call from Nan Bingyu, asking her to come for a pick-up.
When Chi Yue heard the address was a hotel, she immediately grabbed her car keys and left.
Chi Yue knocked on the hotel room door for a long time before Nan Bingyu came to open it.
Upon entering the room, Chi Yue was taken aback at the sight of the disheveled room and the unkempt Nan Bingyu, too surprised to speak.
"You... You all..."
