Chapter 145: Chapter 145: It Depends on Your Performance

That voice was still as clear and cold as usual, as if the man who went mad last night wasn’t him.

After the noises outside stopped, Chi Yue tidied herself up and walked out mechanically, asking, "Are you having breakfast at home?"

Fu Rongyin looked at her and after a moment, said, "No need."

With that, he got up from the bed, completely unconcerned that he was undressed.

Chi Yue’s breath hitched, she turned away and left the room.

As she closed the door, the man’s voice came through, "I’ll be back at noon."

Chi Yue glanced at the time; it was already nine o’clock. If he was rushing back, he probably wouldn’t make it before twelve.

During this period, she could get busy with work.

Because of the last incident, Chi Yue had the financial accounts checked again, just in case.

The thing she worried about happened.

There was an issue with the company’s finances, especially serious in the purchasing department. A large sum of money had not been recovered from last year, and to her near breakdown, the head of the purchasing department was from the Gu Family.

Chi Yue retained the evidence and went to the police station, only to be told that the evidence was insufficient.

Chi Yue returned to No.1 Bay disheartened, only to find that Fu Rongyin had already come back.

Fu Rongyin was sitting on the sofa with a dark expression on his face, and her heart sank, muttering to herself that it was over.

Then she thought, she hadn’t run away, why feel guilty?

So, she walked into the kitchen as if nothing was amiss, "I might not have time to cook, I’ll just fry you a steak."

Her words seemed fine, but Fu Rongyin’s expression darkened further, as if brewing something.

Chi Yue didn’t notice his agitation and debated whether to ask for his help while frying steak, but by the time she brought the steak to him, she had swallowed all her words.

That noon passed without incident; Fu Rongyin said nothing and left with a stern face, fortunately without saying a word.

Chi Yue tried to have the accounts checked several times, but in the end, no more evidence was found that directly proved tampering.

Chi Yue was at her wit’s end.

In the evening, Fu Rongyin came home to find Chi Yue much more enthusiastic than usual.

He observed her quietly, wanting to know how far she could go.

Chi Yue only thought of this strategy while cooking.

Since she now belonged to Fu Rongyin, why not use the resources at her disposal?

So, she cooked several of Fu Rongyin’s favorite dishes and was even attentive enough to serve him during the meal.

Fu Rongyin remained unresponsive.

Chi Yue realized that Fu Rongyin was truly hard to tease.

Taking advantage of the moment Fu Rongyin went to take a shower, Chi Yue chose the silkiest, smallest set of clothes and took a strategic bath in the guest bathroom, lying in bed early to wait for him.

Fu Rongyin didn’t notice anything wrong when he turned off the lights, but by the time he realized, Chi Yue had already taken the initiative to climb on top of him.

Fu Rongyin’s eyes were obscure, waiting for her to speak.

This was Chi Yue’s first time doing such a thing, and although she had imagined such a scene many times in her mind, now that she was actually doing it, she realized theories were all to hell.

Chi Yue mustered her courage and said, "Why don’t you... I don’t know how."

Fu Rongyin didn’t move, "What do you want to do?"

"..."

"Chi Yue, there’s nothing in the world that comes without effort, even age, first you have to survive."

Chi Yue bit her lip, "If I do this, will you help me resolve the crisis?"

"That will depend on your performance."

...

Chi Yue didn’t really want to recall the specifics of that night.

She felt off everywhere the next day.

Still, she didn’t dare to get angry at the instigator and made breakfast for him with a good temper.

Before leaving, Chi Yue asked him, "Don’t forget what you promised."

Fu Rongyin glanced at her swollen lips and indifferently withdrew his gaze, "Wait until I’m finished with my work."

Chi Yue: "..."

On the way to the hospital, Fu Rongyin was still savoring the expression Chi Yue had when he left home, visibly pleased with himself, even the driver noticed his good mood.

Once in the hospital room, Xu Zhenwen called him to the door.

"Have you been messing around with Chi Yue again recently?"

Fu Rongyin neither confirmed nor denied.

Xu Zhenwen suppressed her anger and said, "I don’t oppose you being with her, but Ah Yin, how are you going to justify it to Gu Qingyu, whose older sister passed away?"
