Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Provocation

"Don’t worry, I’m just going to talk to him, nothing else."

"Really?" Nan Bingyu clearly didn’t believe it, "If he tries to do something to you, you have to tell me right away."

"Okay."

"I mean it! Yueyue, you can’t keep taking everything on yourself. You have me, and if all else fails, my brother..." Nan Bingyu suddenly paused, incredulously asking, "Is it because of my brother? Did Fu Rongyin get angry because he knows about you and my brother, so he’s taking it out on me?"

Chi Yue hadn’t even spoken when Xi Yihang suddenly said, "Baby, your imagination is rich, I also think it makes sense."

"You think so too, right?" Nan Bingyu felt like she had found an ally, "I told you Fu Rongyin has fallen in love with Yueyue, he has become obsessively and crazily in love with Yueyue, he..."

"Can you stop talking?" Chi Yue couldn’t bear to listen anymore, "I had a fight with him before I left, maybe that offended him."

"So it was like that, I knew it! Just make up with him, I think he’s actually not bad."

Xi Yihang cleared his throat, "What about me?"

Nan Bingyu said listlessly, "Why are you comparing yourself to him? You are my man, and you’re the best because you’re mine. I dare anyone to try and take you from me! If there’s a comparison to be made, it’s between my brother and him."

Xi Yihang curled his lips, clearly pleased by Nan Bingyu’s words.

Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes.

The car screeched to a halt, throwing Chi Yue and Nan Bingyu against the back of their seats uncontrollably.

Barely stabilizing themselves, they heard Xi Yihang say, "It’s Fu Rongyin."

Nan Bingyu instinctively looked at Chi Yue, who was already reaching for the car door.

Nan Bingyu grabbed Chi Yue’s hand, "You can’t go, you shouldn’t go over."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be in danger. I’ll be right back."

Nan Bingyu shook her head, "Fu Rongyin dared to block us with his car, he doesn’t care about his own life anymore... No, no, I won’t let you go."

But Chi Yue had already pushed open the door, "I won’t be in danger, Lawyer Xi, please take good care of Xiao Yu."

"Okay."

Chi Yue got out of the car, slammed the door, exchanged a look with Xi Yihang, and then walked to the front where Fu Rongyin’s car was, opening the door and getting in.

To her surprise, Ling Jiayu was not in the car.

Fu Rongyin did not hurry to drive but stared ahead, lost in thought.

Chi Yue thought he was still looking at Nan Bingyu and said, "As long as you don’t hurt Xiao Yu, I’ll do whatever you say."

Fu Rongyin turned his gaze away, "Do you think I’d still believe you?"

Though he said that, he still started the car and drove off.

Chi Yue looked back and saw Xi Yihang driving away. She withdrew her gaze, letting it fall on Fu Rongyin’s clothes.

His clothes were neat and clean, the same set he wore before she left...

That night, Fu Rongyin tormented her relentlessly.

Chi Yue held her breath, keeping silent no matter how much he tormented her, until finally, she couldn’t bear it any longer and cried. Only then did Fu Rongyin pull away and slam the bedroom door violently.

Chi Yue lay lifelessly on the bed, wrapping herself up with a blanket.

She couldn’t understand how she had ended up here.

She could have led a much more ordinary life, yet she had taken this path.

If possible, she would have preferred never to have provoked him.

—

In the following days, Chi Yue didn’t see Fu Rongyin again. During this time, she learned from Xu Zhenwen that Fu Rongyin had gone on a business trip, taking Ling Jiayu with him.

Xu Zhenwen suggested Chi Yue go find Fu Rongyin, but Chi Yue was unwilling.

With the hard-won freedom, she could do many things.

A week later, Chi Yue met Nan Yuan again. Nan Yuan didn’t mention that day’s events but said a friend had returned from abroad and could help her with her psychological issues.

Without a second thought, Chi Yue agreed and followed Nan Yuan to Hai City.
