Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Fu Rongyin hugged her gently, sighing silently, “Could you, wait a little longer?
When their eyes met, Chi Yue could see a trace of fatigue between his brows.
As usual, he first went to check on Fu Mianmian, then sat down beside, squinting his eyes.
Chi Yue knew he wanted to rest, but she was eager to know what had happened and walked up to him, “Fu Rongyin, aren’t you going to tell me what happened?”
Fu Rongyin didn’t move.
Chi Yue pursed her lips and raised her hand to push him, “Fu Rongyin.”
The man still didn’t react.
Chi Yue frowned, about to push him again when suddenly he reached out, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his arms.
By the time Chi Yue realized, she was already confined in his embrace, his chin resting on her shoulder, his warm breath on her neck, and she instinctively struggled a bit.
“Don’t move.” The man held her even tighter, “Let me lean on you a while.”
His voice was tinged with fatigue, Chi Yue’s heart softened by half, but thinking of You’er appearing earlier, she spoke again, “What’s the situation with Zhan Youyou? Why were the Zhan Family people at our house?”
The reply she received was the man’s elongated breathing.
Feeling helpless, she tried to pry his arms open, only to find that even asleep he wouldn’t let go, which was both sad and amusing.
Chi Yue wasn’t sleepy, so she went over the recent events again in her mind.
To her surprise, she discovered that when Zhan Qing took Zhan Youyou away earlier, Qi Hongwen was also with him, and it seemed like he had said something to Fu Rongyin.
At that moment, she had been only watching You’er and hadn’t noticed what he had said.
If she hadn’t misheard, it sounded like he mentioned two words: “go home.”
Go home?
But which home?
Chi Yue’s train of thought was interrupted by a ringtone; following the sound, she realized it was Fu Rongyin’s phone ringing.
Chi Yue hesitated for a moment, then reached out to grab the cellphone, but the next second, a large hand grabbed the phone first.
Chi Yue was held down onto the sofa, “I’m going to take a call.”
As his words fell, he was already far away.
Chi Yue watched him leave the room, dazed and slow to react.
Just now, she had glimpsed the caller ID; it was Zhan Youyou.
Chi Yue’s emotions were like a roller coaster, rising and falling, only to return to where they had started.
When Nan Bingyu called, she was ready to leave with Fu Mianmian.
“Yueyue, I just heard that your house was surrounded. Where are you guys now?” Nan Bingyu’s voice was urgent.
Chi Yue, “We’re at a hotel, not at home.”
Nan Bingyu breathed a heavy sigh of relief, “That scared me to death, thank goodness. Which hotel are you at? I’ll come get you.”
Her words instantly calmed Chi Yue down.
If she rashly left the hotel, she might indeed be taken away by the Qi family. Currently, the safest place was by Fu Rongyin’s side.
Considering this, she said, “I’ll stay at the hotel. I’m safe here, don’t come over, lest they start watching you.”
“Are you alone in the hotel?”
“Everyone’s here.” she said, “Xiao Yu, could you check how many people from the Qi family came and why they suddenly showed up…” pausing, she added, “and also, see if Fu Rongyin really had a fallout with the Qi family.”
“Okay, I’ll look into it and get back to you.”
Chi Yue hung up the phone, turned around, and found the tall man standing behind her, not knowing how long he’d been there or how much he had heard.
Chi Yue passed by him without expression, heading towards the bed.
The man stretched out his long arm, pulling her into his arms once again.
Chi Yue stared at him directly, “Awake? Good, I have a question for you. What exactly is going on with you and Zhan Youyou? Why did the Qi family come here?”
Fu Rongyin held her quietly, sighing without a sound, “Can we wait a bit longer?”
