Entangled with My Ex's Uncle
Chapter 166 Fu Rongyin frowned, "I won’t bite, what are you so nervous about?

Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Fu Rongyin frowned, "I won’t bite, what are you so nervous about?

"This is my room, if I don’t come here, where else should I go?"

Chi Yue’s face was stern, "Aren’t you afraid that Lady Ling will be angry if you come here?"

Fu Rongyin spoke slowly and deliberately, "It’s my own room, why should she be angry about that?"

With that, he lifted the quilt next to her.

Almost as soon as he sat down, Chi Yue got out of bed.

Fu Rongyin frowned, "I won’t eat you, what are you so nervous about?"

Chi Yue thought to herself, you might not eat people, but you could devour someone whole, inside and out.

"Come up."

Chi Yue didn’t move, "If you have something to say, just say it like this, I can hear you."

"Chi Yue," Fu Rongyin’s voice softened a touch, "If you don’t want to marry me, why would you collaborate with her?"

Chi Yue was surprised by his words, yet felt it made sense.

She didn’t have much to hide, "Because as long as I help her drive Lady Ling away, she will help me fulfill a wish."

"To help you leave my side?" he said.

Chi Yue neither confirmed nor denied.

Fu Rongyin looked at her with a complex expression in his eyes.

After a long pause, he said, "Chi Yue, why don’t you think about it, if she was capable of winning me over, you wouldn’t be here today."

"I have no other choice, I can only take a gamble."

"You might as well cooperate with me, perhaps I am more reliable."

"Will you let me go?" she asked.

Fu Rongyin leaned lazily against the headboard, "That depends on your performance, come here."

Chi Yue hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto the bed...

Downstairs.

Xu Zhenwen and Fu Runan sat beside the dining table, Ling Jiayu on the other side.

Seeing that dinner had started and yet Fu Rongyin and Chi Yue still hadn’t appeared, Ling Jiayu’s glances toward the upstairs grew more frequent.

Xu Zhenwen said, "Even if you go blind staring, they won’t show up now. Who knows, by the time they come down, it might already be tomorrow morning."

Ling Jiayu smiled, "Ah Yin said he would join me for a meal, he won’t break his promise."

Xu Zhenwen unapologetically burst her bubble, "He and Chi Yue can eat in their room, finish eating, and continue with whatever they need to do, no conflict."

The smile on Ling Jiayu’s face clearly could not be sustained, "Auntie, are you still holding a grudge about the past?"

"Hold a grudge? I simply don’t look up to women who are manipulative. As long as I’m alive for one more day, don’t even think about stepping foot into the Fu Family’s home alive!"

"What you mean is, if I die, I can enter the Fu Family’s home, right?"

Xu Zhenwen faced her coldly, "You’ve already ’died’ once, you shouldn’t be appearing again."

Ling Jiayu’s laughter was light, yet upon close observation, one would notice that it didn’t reach her eyes.

"Auntie, I am a living person, I can’t live in the dark for a lifetime, I need light as well."

"Then roll away to some other place and don’t come back."

"Should I assume you’re feeling guilty? Are you afraid Ah Yin will find out what you did back then?"

Xu Zhenwen’s complexion changed drastically, "Butler, see her out. If the young master asks, just say she had something to attend to and left early."

Fu Runan, who had been silent up to this point, suddenly spoke up, "If you’ve caused enough disturbance, let’s eat, the food is getting cold."

Xu Zhenwen glared at him, "If you don’t want to listen, you don’t have to."

Upon hearing that, Fu Runan turned his face away and went back to his room.

Xu Zhenwen’s expression immediately improved significantly.

Ever since Fu Runan had another illegitimate child outside, Xu Zhenwen dragged up the old stories; Fu Runan, fearing she would do something to that now adult illegitimate child, didn’t dare to offend Xu Zhenwen.

Xu Zhenwen looked again at the butler, "Are you not going to send her away quickly?"

Ling Jiayu stood up, "Since Auntie doesn’t welcome me, I’ll visit another day."

After everyone had left, Xu Zhenwen no longer felt like eating and glanced upstairs before returning to her own room.

Late at night.

Chi Yue lay in bed, not wanting to move even a finger.
