Chapter 643: Chapter 643: After misunderstanding me for so long, shouldn’t you give me some compensation?
Chi Yue didn’t know how to answer that question because she indeed had no feelings for Fu Xingchuan.
After hesitating for a moment, she said, “You can’t force feelings, nor can they be forced.”
Fu Xingchuan became anxious, “You haven’t even tried with me, how do you know we’re not suitable?”
Catching a glimpse of a figure not far away, Chi Yue seriously said to Fu Xingchuan, “We differ in both age and fundamental beliefs. Instead of wasting time trying to adjust with me, you’d better cherish the person by your side.”
As she spoke, she looked at Wen Shuxian, “She’s been waiting for you over there for a long time, go back to her.”
“Chi Yue…”
Chi Yue didn’t bother with him anymore, she strode into the house and disappeared from sight.
Fu Xingchuan glared fiercely at Wen Shuxian, who didn’t dare to come closer, his eyes dark with anger.
He turned around furiously and left quickly.
Wen Shuxian hesitated for a moment, then chased after him.
Chi Yue, watching from the floor-to-ceiling window, saw that both of them had left before she felt relieved to return to her room.
As she passed the dining room, she saw a large bouquet of roses on the table and couldn’t help but find it strange.
Chi Jianshan didn’t like roses, and she knew this from childhood. It was also for this reason that Bai Qing never received roses.
To be on the safe side, she knocked on Chi Jianshan’s room door for a long time but no one came to open it; thinking that he might be asleep, she gave up.
When she opened the door to her room, Chi Yue froze on the spot.
The floor of the room was covered with rose petals, and in the center of the bed was a heart shape made of rose petals.
At the same time, there was a noise from the bathroom. Chi Yue instinctively looked over and saw Fu Rongyin walking out in a bathrobe.
Several days had passed since their last encounter, and knowing that the child in Lu Nanxi’s womb wasn’t his, Chi Yue didn’t know how to face him all of a sudden.
By the time she came to her senses, Fu Rongyin had already approached her, “Is everything resolved?”
Chi Yue: “…”
The man had just taken a shower, the bathrobe loosely tied around his waist, revealing a vast expanse of finely sculpted muscles.
Chi Yue’s gaze didn’t know where to rest, so she deliberately looked at the petals on the floor, “What are you doing? Mr. Fu, this is my room.”
“Do you like it?” he asked.
“…”
This wasn’t a matter of liking or disliking, the problem was, considering their current relationship, giving roses was somewhat inappropriate.
Seeing her silence, Fu Rongyin continued, “I remember you used to like red roses very much, do you?”
Chi Yue indeed liked roses, but…
“Mr. Fu, have you truly forgotten or are you pretending to forget? With our current relationship, is it appropriate to send roses?”
“Why wouldn’t it be appropriate?” The man moved a few steps closer, “You’re still my wife, if I don’t give them to you, who else would I give them to?”
Chi Yue was silent.
She thought of the day at the hospital when Fu Rongyin ran to Lu Nanxi without hesitation, and her heart couldn’t help but sting with pain.
Even knowing the child in Lu Nanxi’s belly wasn’t his, she couldn’t help feeling unsettled by it.
Suddenly her face was lifted, and Chi Yue met his eyes, her heart trembling.
Fu Rongyin hadn’t looked at her with such eyes for a long time, or rather, they hadn’t looked at each other like this for quite a while.
Chi Yue admitted she had no resistance to his deep affection, especially when he looked at her with such tender eyes.
Just when Chi Yue thought Fu Rongyin would do something, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace, resting his chin on top of her head.
“It’s all over now. You can ask whatever you want to know.”
After a moment of silence, Chi Yue spoke softly, “If the child in Lu Nanxi’s womb isn’t yours, why do you still treat her so well?”
“The child in her belly is my chip against the Gu Family.”
Chi Yue was puzzled.
Fu Rongyin patiently explained.
Only then did Chi Yue realize that the child in Lu Nanxi’s belly was indeed that old man’s.
The man had his eye on Lu Nanxi, and on one hand, Fu Rongyin made a deal with Lu Nanxi, while on the other hand, he negotiated cooperation with that man. Later, Lu Nanxi discovered that Fu Rongyin didn’t love her at all, which led her to the idea of getting an abortion—the scene Chi Yue witnessed in the restaurant.
After hearing his explanation, Chi Yue was so shocked that it took her a long time to recover.
“So, the trouble the Gu Family encountered today was your doing?”
“Yes and no.” He lifted her chin, “You’ve misunderstood me for so long, don’t you think you should compensate me a bit?”
As he spoke, his hand slid up under her clothes.
Chi Yue quickly held his hand, “No, I haven’t had a shower yet.”
“I don’t mind.”
“I do.”
She broke away from his grasp and walked briskly towards the bathroom, yet before she had taken many steps, she was suddenly lifted into the air, “I’ll help you.”
Chi Yue: “!”
But hadn’t he just come out of the bathroom?
