Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Fell in Love with Him

Situ Mingfan said, "The Bai Family knows the truth; they haven’t prepared to tell Chi Yue, so we should not get involved either."

"But Chi Yue is all alone now, if she had a father to protect her..."

"You saw what happened on the son’s wedding day; they were all there, Mrs. Bai Senior didn’t even greet them, nor did she allow Chi Yue to make contact with that man, let alone, returning to that home might not necessarily mean good things await her."

Upon hearing this, Yin Qiuheng sighed deeply, "If only she and the son had taken a liking to each other."

"You always let your mind wander. Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes, Xiao Xuan is also a sensible child, we shouldn’t worry unnecessarily."

——

Chi Yue buried herself in the laboratory and didn’t emerge until a full night had passed; when she came out, dawn had already broken.

The person in charge arrived at the company first and saw that Chi Yue was still in yesterday’s clothes, with dark circles under her eyes turning green. She asked in disbelief, "Did you work all night?"

Chi Yue rubbed her temples wearily, "Mhm, the client was in a hurry, and I happened to be free, so I thought I’d get the results out sooner."

The person in charge looked at her with eyes filled with admiration, "Have you finished everything?"

"Mhm, it’s done. The client will come by later, and I’ll give them the results then head back to rest."

"Then call the client over quickly, no, I’ll go."

While waiting for Situ Mingfan and his wife, Chi Yue picked up her phone, only then remembering she hadn’t turned it on the day before. She powered it on, waited for a while, but only received two promotional messages; there were no missed calls or other messages.

Her WeChat was spotlessly clean, clearly no one had been looking for her.

Chi Yue pursed her lips and put her phone back in her bag.

Situ Mingfan and his wife arrived swiftly.

"How did it go, have the results come out?" Yin Qiuheng’s voice carried a note of anxiety.

Chi Yue laid out all the results before her and patiently explained the meaning of each.

After looking over them for a long while, the couple exchanged glances and gathered the results.

"Thank you, Chi Yue. You worked hard."

Yin Qiuheng noticed Chi Yue’s dark circles as well; she said with concern, "If I had known the results would be available this morning and that you’d have to stay up all night for work, I wouldn’t have rushed over to see you."

Chi Yue felt a warmth in her heart, "I’m fine, I got up late yesterday; I can handle it. Let me walk you down."

After seeing them off, Chi Yue stood at the door for a while, noticing that the Maybach across the street hadn’t left.

She went back upstairs, then a moment later came down with her bag; the Maybach was parked at the foot of the building.

In the end, Chi Yue softened her heart and opened the car door to get in.

Neither of them spoke until the car stopped at the restaurant’s entrance.

Chi Yue turned to him, "I’m not hungry right now."

"I am."

Having said that, Fu Rongyin had already opened the car door and gotten out.

With no other option, Chi Yue followed suit.

Once seated in the restaurant, Chi Yue suddenly realized that Fu Rongyin too had dark circles under his eyes, which made her heart feel even more uncomfortable.

Yet the thought that there was no future for the two of them made the words of concern that reached her lips choke back down.

After they had eaten, Fu Rongyin dropped her off at the foot of her apartment building; he showed no intention of getting out of the car.

Chi Yue couldn’t quite identify her feelings, perhaps there was more relief, but when she closed the door to her apartment, she discovered that the relief was just an illusion.

A boundless feeling of emptiness surged from her feet, spread to her limbs, and then straight to her heart, causing her eyes to moisten in an instant.

At this moment, even if she wanted to deny it, it was already too late.

She had fallen in love with Fu Rongyin.
