Chapter 745: Chapter 745: She Doesn’t Want Me Anymore
Chi Yue was startled by her actions and quickly tried to pull her back, “Xiao Yu, calm down, please listen to us first.”
Instead of letting go, Nan Bingyu gripped even tighter, “What’s there to talk about? Why did you break up with Leng Siling? It seems you’re still not over Yueyue! You say you’re not over her, then why were you bothering Leng Siling recently?”
Chi Yue was dumbfounded and looked towards Chu Shuo.
The latter calmly pushed Nan Bingyu’s hand away, “Are you having someone follow me? Nan Bingyu, don’t tell me you have feelings for me too?”
Seeing that he showed no regret, Nan Bingyu raised her hand to slap him, but Chu Shuo agilely dodged it.
Nan Bingyu grasped at the air twice without catching him, then angrily slapped the table, “Chu Shuo, if you’re a man, don’t dodge! Tell me, are you coveting Yueyue?”
Chu Shuo wore a smug expression, letting her hold on to him, “You shouldn’t be saying this; otherwise, those who don’t know might think you’re in unrequited love and are furious about it.”
Nan Bingyu rolled her eyes in anger, and if not for Chi Yue holding her back, she would have punched his deserving face long ago.
“I think Leng Siling did right by leaving you. I wouldn’t take you even if you were offered to me!”
She pushed hard, and Chu Shuo fell back into his seat.
Watching the two of them, Chi Yue felt terrified. It was fortunate that they hadn’t started fighting, or she wouldn’t know how to break it up.
Nan Bingyu didn’t have a chance to ask about the cause of the issue, because Xi Yihang had come to pick her up.
Once she left, Chu Shuo returned to normal, “She had better pray that Xi Yihang never remembers the past, or she will have a tough time ahead.”
Chi Yue didn’t think the same, “I think Xi Yihang is pretty good to her. If Xi Yihang ever remembers the past, he might treasure Nan Bingyu even more.”
“That’s a very optimistic outcome, but as far as I know, the Xi Yihang before he lost his memory wasn’t so agreeable. He’s a lawyer and knows very well the consequences of confining Nan Bingyu, yet he did it anyway. There must be issues we are unaware of.”
Chi Yue frowned.
She had never considered the things Chu Shuo said and instinctively didn’t believe his words.
Xi Yihang and Nan Bingyu had a good relationship previously, only splitting because he later allied with Xu Zhenwen to oppose Fu Rongyin and Chi Yue, a reality that Nan Bingyu couldn’t accept.
Chu Shuo was just speaking offhand and had no intention of delving deep into Xi Yihang’s emotional issues.
He voiced a reminder, “About the matter I mentioned earlier, when will you give me an answer?”
Chi Yue held her head, “I thought you were just joking with me.”
“I wasn’t joking. I won’t hide it from you; I really need someone to help me now.”
“What about Leng Siling?” Chi Yue suddenly asked.
Chu Shuo’s expression visibly faded, “She… she doesn’t want me anymore.”
Chi Yue had never imagined that one day she’d see a hurt look in Chu Shuo’s eyes because in her view, Chu Shuo, the playboy, was heartless. The time he spent pestering her was merely out of interest and didn’t rise to the level of true feelings of a romantic relationship.
But for Leng Siling, it was clearly different.
Chi Yue stuck to her previous line, “I’ll think about it for two more days, and then I’ll decide whether to help you or not.”
Chu Shuo curved his lips slightly, “Okay.”
When she got home, it was not yet dark. Fu Mianmian and Chi Jianshan were playing in the living room. Upon seeing Chi Yue, Fu Mianmian ran over with her little legs flailing, “Mommy, you’re finally home.”
Fu Mianmian hugged Chi Yue’s legs and stretched her neck to look out, watching anxiously, “Where’s daddy?”
Lately, Fu Mianmian had grown accustomed to seeing Fu Rong as soon as she got home. Suddenly not seeing him, she puckered her face, “Mommy, did daddy leave again?”
