Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Various Thoughts

Truth be told, Chi Yue was tempted.

But she wasn’t sure if Xu Zhenwen would discard her after using her.

Perhaps sensing her dilemma, Xu Zhenwen said, "I still have that much ability, it’s just hiding a person."

Chi Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "I agree to help you, but I can’t guarantee I’ll succeed."

"I believe you can do it, I understand Ah Yin better than anyone, you can definitely do it."

Chi Yue didn’t say anything more.

That evening, when Chi Yue returned to No.1 Bay, she meticulously prepared a table full of dishes.

Upon entering, Fu Rongyin saw Chi Yue, his eyes filled with shock, which quickly turned into confusion.

Ignoring his confusion, Chi Yue approached to take his coat off, "Go wash your hands and have dinner."

"What are you up to?"

"I made dinner for you."

Fu Rongyin’s eyes deepened, "Chi Yue, don’t bother, no matter how you try to please me, don’t think you can leave."

Chi Yue replied, "Don’t worry, I’m not leaving. You must be very tired from taking over the company, right? I’ll help you relax a bit after."

Fu Rongyin gave her a deep look and went to wash his hands.

Maybe it was because the dishes Chi Yue had made were done with care, but they tasted good, and Fu Rongyin ate a lot, unusually so.

After dinner, Fu Rongyin went to his study, while Chi Yue stayed in the living room watching TV.

But whether she really watched it, only she knew.

It wasn’t long before Fu Rongyin came out of the study, and Chi Yue immediately stood up, "I’ll go run your bath."

"I’m not taking a bath."

Chi Yue said with a hint of regret, "I wanted to give you a massage, are you sure you don’t want it?"

Chi Yue rarely looked at him with such a coquettish gaze or spoke to him with that tone, and Fu Rongyin’s gaze grew even more intense.

After a while, he irritably adjusted his tie, "Go run the bath."

Obediently, Chi Yue entered the master bathroom, and soon there was the sound of water filling the tub.

Fu Rongyin pulled out his phone and dialed a number, "Check who Chi Yue met with today."

After putting away his phone, Fu Rongyin walked into the bathroom, where Chi Yue was still running the bath, and turned at the sound of him entering, "It’ll be just another minute."

No sooner had she spoken than she was enveloped in his arms and placed on the vanity countertop.

Chi Yue knew what he wanted to do and was ready, but he hesitated.

Without thinking, Chi Yue lifted his face and kissed him.

In the end, whether it was her initiative didn’t matter anymore, she only knew that she almost drowned in the bathtub, fortunately, Fu Rongyin carried her to the bed before she passed out.

Exhausted, Chi Yue sat on the edge of the bed, her eyelids drooping heavily.

Fu Rongyin intended to dry her hair with a blow dryer, but she snatched it from him, "I’ll do it myself."

He didn’t refuse and just stood by the bed watching her.

Chi Yue felt her scalp tingle under his gaze; she quickly blew her hair dry and put away the blow dryer, then lay down beside the bed.

Her eyelids were heavy, but sleep eluded her, the scene in the bathtub still playing in her mind.

She hadn’t touched a bathtub since high school, and today was an oversight; she had forgotten about that, otherwise, she would never have gotten into the tub.

Suddenly, a large hand caressed her hair, followed by the sound of the blow dryer.

Chi Yue bolted upright, "I don’t need to—"

"Your hair will ache if it’s not dry."

Chi Yue pursed her lips, "Thank you."

She closed her eyes again and, unexpectedly, fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a nightmare jolted her awake.

In the dream, she fell into water; the water rose over her head as she struggled, the more she fought, the more she couldn’t rise to the surface. Finally, she stopped struggling, trying to extend her hand above the water, but she still sank deeper and deeper...

Drenched in cold sweat, Chi Yue sat trembling uncontrollably on the bed.

In the darkness, she instinctively leaned to her side, feeling the cold duvet; she stiffened with a jolt.

Fu Rongyin wasn’t there.

Her consciousness snapped to clarity almost immediately, and at the same moment, she got out of bed and opened the bedroom door.

A voice came from the living room balcony, "Do you have the results of what I asked you to check?"
