Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Is that child yours with Nan Yuan?

Fu Rongyin paused, he hadn’t expected Fu Mianmian to say such words.

After a brief pause, he turned to Chi Yue, "Can she stay here for a while? I need to go back to the company for something."

Chi Yue also couldn’t bear to forcefully separate such a small child, so she said, "Okay."

After Fu Rongyin closed the door, he stood outside for a moment, walking away only when the crying inside quieted down.

Chi Yue, feeling helpless, held Fu Mianmian in her arms, and it took a while before the crying stopped; glancing down, she saw Fu Mianmian had fallen asleep on her shoulder.

In her sleep, Fu Mianmian’s eyes and brows bore a resemblance to Fu Rongyin’s by fifty percent, captivating Chi Yue.

The soreness in her wrist brought Chi Yue back to reality, and she carried Fu Mianmian to the master bedroom.

She had only prepared two bedrooms, one for Nan Yuan and Nan Baixuan, and one for herself.

She couldn’t possibly let Fu Mianmian sleep in a room alone at this moment, so she brought her into her own room.

There was an extra little lump on the big bed, which made Chi Yue somewhat uncomfortable.

Thinking that Fu Rongyin would come back soon to pick up the child, she lay down on the sofa.

Little did she know, that lie down would last the whole night; Chi Yue was awoken by Fu Mianmian’s fussing.

"Daddy, I want Daddy waaaa..."

Chi Yue instantly woke up, sitting up to see the little chubby girl sitting on the bed, crying with her eyes closed, her gaze shifting from confusion to clarity.

It was then that someone rang the doorbell, and Chi Yue hurried to let them in.

As the man approached Fu Mianmian, she said uncertainly, "She woke up and started crying there; I don’t know what happened."

Fu Rongyin picked up Fu Mianmian and sat on the bed, saying something in a soft voice; Fu Mianmian opened her watery eyes and pitifully called out, "Daddy, I rolled under the bed and climbed up by myself."

Chi Yue: "..."

Fu Rongyin, unsurprised, carried her out.

When he came to where Chi Yue stood, he stopped and said, "I had an emergency last night and couldn’t get here in time, sorry for the trouble."

"...It’s no trouble."

Only then did Fu Mianmian realize she had slept at Chi Yue’s place, blinking her eyes and saying, "Pretty sister, your bed smells really nice."

Chi Yue felt inferior to her control over her emotions, she waved at her and closed the door.

With Nan Yuan absent, she needed to be at the company, especially today, when she had a document to sign.

When she arrived at the company, Chi Yue was surprised to find that her business partner was Chu Shuo.

Seeing her shocked expression, Chu Shuo was quite pleased, "Does this count as a surprise I’ve given you?"

Chi Yue sat down in front of him, "Congratulations, you succeeded."

"Thank you. To show my gratitude, may I invite you to a meal?"

"Of course."

Chu Shuo stood up, and Chi Yue asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course to eat, lunchtime is almost here."

Chi Yue: "What about the contract..."

Chu Shuo chuckled, "I’m right here, do you really think I’d run off?"

Eating with Chu Shuo, Chi Yue was still very reserved.

Chu Shuo, as if oblivious to her restraint, directly asked, "That child, is she yours and Nan Yuan’s?"

Chi Yue’s grip on her chopsticks involuntarily tightened, "...Yes."

"He looks about the same age as Old Fifth’s daughter. You couldn’t have gotten pregnant with Nan Yuan’s child while in prison, could you?"

Chi Yue raised her eyes to look at him, "What are you implying?"

"Nothing specific, just curious. If you aren’t amnesiac, it means you willingly became a stepmother. But Chi Yue, Nan Yuan wasn’t exactly in the frame of mind to go and have children with someone else during that time, was he?"
