Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Her Initiative

In the end, Chi Yue was unable to keep Nan Bingyu from leaving.

The departure was arranged by Fu Rongyin. Chi Yue waited an entire night and finally received a call from Nan Bingyu, confirming her safety. She immediately felt relieved.

The next day, Xi Yihang returned.

Seeing that there were bodyguards present, Chi Yue made no move to invite him in.

She looked at the dark circles under Xi Yihang’s eyes and couldn’t help saying, "You and Fu Rongyin don’t have a deep-seated hatred. The fault lies with the previous generation. You shouldn’t destroy each other."

"You don’t understand." Xi Yihang had no intention of explaining and left after a short while.

Worried that Xi Yihang would come knocking regularly, demanding people, Chi Yue moved back to her own apartment. Working during the day and returning home with Fu Rongyin at night, nothing untoward happened.

Weekend.

Chi Yue returned to Mrs. Bai Senior’s place and learned from the caregiver that the old lady had been ill for several days and adamantly refused to go to the hospital.

Chi Yue was somewhat angry, "Grandma, when I was a child, you said one must not conceal illness or avoid doctors. Now you’re setting a bad example."

Mrs. Bai Senior retorted irritably, "That place, the hospital, once you enter, you can’t leave. I haven’t yet seen you marry and have children. I can’t leave too quickly; I wouldn’t be able to explain it to your mother."

Chi Yue’s heart ached, and she said with less conviction, "Nowadays, you can still be happy without just getting married and having children."

"Do you think we’re really forcing you to get married and have children? Without your parents, and no siblings, if anything were to happen, you’d have no one to discuss it with. How can I be at peace with that?"

Chi Yue wanted to retort, but she realized she had no ground to argue on.

She softened her tone. "Grandma, I know you love me, but I’m also worried about you. I hope you stay healthy and well."

Mrs. Bai Senior was unbending. "If you’re really worried about me, then settle down quickly. What kind of life are you leading now?"

Not wanting to hurt her feelings, Chi Yue had no choice but to agree for the time being.

After dinner, she took care of Mrs. Bai Senior until she fell asleep. Then, at her own room’s doorway, she bumped into Bai Bixuan.

Chi Yue could tell at a glance that she had something to say, but she didn’t expect that it would not be about Mrs. Bai Senior.

"Chi Yue, my engagement to Situ En has been set. We both agree, and we will get engaged at the end of the month."

Chi Yue was somewhat surprised, but after that, she sincerely congratulated her, "Congratulations, I hope you two will be happy."

"I will be."

Bai Bixuan had changed since Chi Yue returned to Hai City. Now she appeared more composed, more fitting of a daughter from a prominent family.

Bai Bixuan added, "I heard you worked with Situ Wei’an before. I hope you can tell me about her."

Chi Yue gave a few fair comments and then said, "Situ Wei’an has a rather overbearing personality. Beyond that, I’m not too familiar with her."

"Thank you."

Chi Yue returned to her room and reopened the USB drive she hadn’t finished looking through last time, continuing from where the photos left off.

Afterward, she noticed that the man’s appearances were not infrequent, and every time he appeared, Bai Qing’s smile was genuinely heartfelt.

A bold guess formed in Chi Yue’s heart.

On Monday, Fu Rongyin asked her to stay in the apartment again, and she agreed.

As soon as they met, she presented the man’s photo, "Can you help me find someone?"

Fu Rongyin glanced at it. "What do you want with him?"

Chi Yue spoke evenly, "I want to know what his relationship was with my mom."

"That depends on how you behave," he replied.

Chi Yue feigned anger, "Can you ever do anything without expecting something in return?"

Fu Rongyin, "Isn’t that the agreement you set up?"

Chi Yue, "..."

Originally, to prevent Fu Rongyin from taking advantage, she had agreed on several related conditions. Now she realized that none of those conditions had restricted Fu Rongyin; instead, he used them to his advantage openly and legitimately.

Chi Yue, head bowed, was lost in thought.

Once at the apartment, Fu Rongyin went to cook, and Chi Yue returned to the master bedroom.

After changing her clothes, she came to the kitchen, spontaneously wrapped her arms around Fu Rongyin’s neck, and kissed him.

Her action was so unexpected that Fu Rongyin didn’t react at first.

He pulled away and asked with a furrowed brow, "What are you doing?"
