Capítulo 766: Chapter 766: Determined Heart
Just a few days ago, she heard that he was Fu Rongyin’s biological father, but before she could verify it, he appeared at her doorstep.
After the shock, Chi Yue regained her composure.
“Hello, may I know if you are looking for me?”
It was not that Chi Yue was presumptuous, it was because the people living in this area had no connections with Fu Rongyin.
Qi Hongwen showed a kind smile, “Yes, I’m looking for you. May I come in and sit down?”
Chi Yue considered for a moment, then stepped aside to let him in.
As soon as they entered the house, Fu Mianmian ran over, climbing up Chi Yue with her hands and feet.
Chi Yue had no choice but to pick her up, causing Fu Mianmian to giggle. After her laughter, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Qi Hongwen.
“Mommy, is he your friend?”
Qi Hongwen had been watching Fu Mianmian ever since she came out, growing fonder the more he watched.
Listening to her question, Chi Yue hadn’t yet spoken when he said, “I’m not your mommy’s friend, I’m a friend of your daddy’s.”
“Really? Then it must have been daddy who brought you here. Mommy let me down, I’m going to find daddy…”
Chi Yue didn’t let go, speaking in a low voice, “Daddy hasn’t come back yet; why don’t you go play with grandpa for now?”
Fu Mianmian was somewhat unwilling, but she obediently left.
Qi Hongwen’s gaze lingered on Fu Mianmian until she was out of sight, and only then did he reluctantly withdraw his eyes.
“This child is really sensible; you’ve had it tough.”
“It’s my duty. Did you come today for a reason?”
Only then did Qi Hongwen say, “I’m here because of Qi Yizhou… no, Ah Yin’s accident has implicated you, and we still don’t know the details. I need to investigate the truth. But he’s alone in the hospital, and I’m worried. Could you possibly go see him?”
Upon hearing this, Chi Yue remained expressionless, “As you saw just now, I have a child at home and I also need to work; I can’t do everything. It would be more convenient for you to hire a nurse.”
With that, Qi Hongwen gave her a meaningful look, “A nurse is no substitute for a wife.”
Chi Yue didn’t respond.
Seeing that Chi Yue was unresponsive, Qi Hongwen finally got to the point, “Chi Yue, have you really set your heart on divorcing Ah Yin?”
“I won’t hide it from you; yes,” she replied.
Qi Hongwen instinctively straightened his back, “Why? Isn’t he good enough? During his time in Beijing, I saw that he wasn’t blinded by the throng of admirers. Have you misunderstood something about him?”
Chi Yue didn’t want to talk further, but seeing his persistence, she straightforwardly told him the truth.
“It’s my own issue; I feel there’s no need to maintain this marriage any longer.”
“Your marriage seems fine to me; I don’t see anything wrong with it. Why don’t you two talk it over again?”
Chii Yue knew Qi Hongwen’s status and understood his underlying intention in saying these words, but she still adhered to her perspective, “There’s nothing left to discuss, and you needn’t play the mediator.”
“Are you going to just watch him languishing alone in the hospital? At the very least, let the child visit him.”
Thinking back to how the child had just been fussing about seeing her dad, Qi Hongwen changed tactics, trying to approach the matter from the child’s perspective.
However, Chi Yue said, “Let the child go there while he’s in this state, when he’s hardly capable of protecting himself? Not to mention I haven’t fully cleared myself of the suspicion of harming him. Bringing a child into this, wouldn’t that look like I’m exploiting the child for sympathy?”
“This…”
Qi Hongwen was at a loss for words.
After a while, he sighed, “No wonder Zhan Qing said you are articulate and asked me not to come. I really can’t argue with you.”
