Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Young Couple from Ten Years Ago

Ling Jiayu’s words clearly weren’t directed at Fu Rongyin alone, but Chi Yue pretended not to understand and looked down to text Nan Bingyu.

Seeing that Chi Yue ignored her, the smile on Ling Jiayu’s lips became more mocking, "Did Ah Yin explain to you about the call last time? Well, isn’t that just the usual thing between men and women? An explanation is useless, what’s done cannot be undone by anyone."

Suddenly, Chi Yue looked up, "Are you bragging to me?"

"Bragging? Hardly. Just a reminder that this man, he does not belong only to you."

Chi Yue indifferently averted her gaze, "If you’re referring to the day you answered the phone, I didn’t care about it at all. Just a reminder for you, Lady Ling, Fu Rongyin changes clothes after every encounter."

When the elevator reached the first floor, Chi Yue walked out briskly, leaving Ling Jiayu with a gloomy face behind.

It was then she realized that Chi Yue wasn’t unwilling to fight with her; she simply couldn’t be bothered to.

She followed her out and saw Chi Yue walking towards a car. After a moment’s thought, she took a video with her phone and sent it to Fu Rongyin. Nan Yuan’s face was unmistakably clear in the video.

Chi Yue was unaware that Ling Jiayu had just exposed her whereabouts as she followed Nan Yuan to Situ En’s office.

This time, unlike the day before, Nan Yuan did not leave the office, but sat down beside Chi Yue.

To Chi Yue, Situ En said, "We discussed a plan last night, but it’s up to whether you are willing to try it."

Chi Yue, "What is it?"

"We plan to hypnotize you..."

"No," Chi Yue interrupted before he could finish, "I don’t want to be hypnotized."

Situ En and Nan Yuan were unsure why Chi Yue had such a strong reaction. They exchanged a glance, and the former said, "If you don’t accept it, then we’ll find another way."

Chi Yue sat there, her body tense and her hands by her side balled into fists.

She didn’t know where her resistance came from, but subconsciously she was vehemently opposed to the words "hypnosis," with every cell in her body resisting.

Nan Yuan was sitting right beside her and, noticing her state was off, asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?"

Chi Yue didn’t move, her body unable to stop trembling.

Nan Yuan glanced at Situ En, who gave him a look.

Understanding, Nan Yuan stood up, intending to take her away. However, just as his hand touched Chi Yue, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.

Everyone turned their heads, only to see Fu Rongyin standing at the door with a grim expression.

"Let her go!"

The man strode toward Chi Yue and assertively pulled her into his arms. Chi Yue subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist.

It was just a reflexive move, but it caught all three men in the room off guard.

After a brief moment of surprise, Situ En chose to step aside and watch the scene unfold.

"Fu Rongyin, acting like this might harm her," said Nan Yuan, his voice slightly heavy.

Holding her tighter, Fu Rongyin responded, "She’s not stupid. If I were a threat to her, she wouldn’t choose to come closer. As for you, what were you planning to do to her?"

His voice was light, and his gaze casually swept over Situ En.

When their eyes met, a flash of light sparked in Situ En’s mind, followed by an image.

He remembered where he had seen Fu Rongyin before!

Ten years ago, he had been in Nancheng to meet Nan Yuan, staying in a hotel. One morning as he was leaving, he encountered a young couple in the elevator. They were young; the girl was bashfully nestled in the boy’s arms, her face flushed red and her lips swollen.

At the time, he had sneered, thinking how precociously these young people behaved, even mentioning it to Nan Yuan. He had never imagined that the young couple was Fu Rongyin and Chi Yue!
