Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Crisis

That night, the two of them embraced each other in sleep.

When Chi Yue woke up the next day, her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Fu Rongyin didn’t say anything, just handed her an ice pack.

Chi Yue silently took it and asked with a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?"

"If I hadn’t come, were you planning to sit all night?"

Chi Yue took off the ice pack and glared at him.

Fu Rongyin handed her a cup of warm milk, "Who gave you the photo?"

"What photo?" she feigned ignorance.

"The one in the group picture."

Chi Yue thought perhaps he had seen the photo when he came over, so she said, "Grandma gave it to me."

Fu Rongyin said nothing more, had breakfast with her, dropped her off at her studio, and then told her, "I’m going on a business trip, I won’t be back for a few days."

"Mhm."

Chi Yue tried to push the car door open, but it wouldn’t budge, so she turned to look at him.

Fu Rongyin, "I’m going on a business trip, if you can’t stand the loneliness, you can come find me."

Chi Yue retorted irritably, "I’m not like you, always having those thoughts in my mind."

"Don’t you enjoy it too?"

Chi Yue was furious, "If you don’t open the door, your fiancée is going to see."

Fu Rongyin then unlocked the door.

But it was too late, the scene of Chi Yue getting out of Fu Rongyin’s car was spotted, but it was by her manager.

So, the whole day, Chi Yue felt the manager’s gaze on her was quite satisfied, as if she had finally caught on.

Barely surviving until the end of the day, the manager invited her for dinner. Just as Chi Yue was figuring out how to decline, she received a call from Nan Bingyu.

Chi Yue shook her phone, "I’ve already made plans with a friend."

Watching Chi Yue’s retreating figure, the manager sighed, "I just wanted to give you some useful information..."

Unaware of the manager’s thoughts, Chi Yue got into Nan Bingyu’s car and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"What, someone is pursuing you?" Nan Bingyu asked.

Chi Yue said, "I got out of Fu Rongyin’s car this morning, and a colleague saw."

Knowing that Situ Wei’an worked with her, Nan Bingyu couldn’t help but worry, "Haven’t you planned to break it off yet?"

"Can’t cut it off for now."

Nan Bingyu suddenly laughed, "If you weren’t with him just to regain your memories, I’d suspect you had fallen for him."

Chi Yue remained silent.

After a while, she asked, "Xiao Yu, is it really possible to fall in love with someone twice?"

"Of course. I heard a story about an elderly man who had Alzheimer’s and forgot everything, but every time he saw his wife, he would fall in love with her all over again and want to marry her. But this requires a very deep and pure love, eyes only for that person."

Chi Yue responded absentmindedly twice, then said, "Nan Yuan mentioned that everything is arranged for you over there, you can go anytime. When do you plan on leaving?"

"Might not be so soon," Nan Bingyu’s voice trailed off halfway.

Chi Yue didn’t speak again; the two of them lost in their own thoughts.

——

During the days Fu Rongyin was away on a business trip, Chi Yue vaguely heard news about Chi Qingqing; apparently, Chi Jianshan had forced her to have an abortion.

Whether it was successful or not, Chi Yue had no way of knowing.

One day, after work, Chi Yue encountered Chu Shuo downstairs.

Chu Shuo said, "Such a coincidence today, I wonder if I could join you for dinner?"

Chi Yue glanced at the ingredients in her hand, "Sure."

It was just a matter of cooking a simple meal, one more person just meant an extra pair of chopsticks.

However, little did she know, this dinner would cause another crisis between her and Fu Rongyin.
