Entangled with My Ex's Uncle
Chapter 389 Solitude

Chapter 389: Chapter 389 Solitude

Their gazes locked, and Chi Yue clearly saw a glint of ferocity flash in his eyes.

Chi Yue opened her mouth to speak, but before she could get the words out, he pulled her over and soon pinned her down.

Seeing him up close like this, Chi Yue held her breath and looked away.

Even without looking at him, she could feel the intensity of his gaze on her body, so intense it was as if she were stripped bare and roasted over a fire, making her entire body feel uncomfortable.

Just as she was about to push him away, he suddenly let her go, lay beside her, and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Chi Yue dared not move. She waited until the breathing of the person behind her steadied before she slowly exhaled.

Fu Mianmian was also beside her, now between father and daughter.

She lay there for a while until she was certain Fu Rongyin had fallen asleep. Then, she gently moved his hand away, got out of bed, and left.

She didn’t see that after she left, the supposedly sleeping Fu Rongyin opened his eyes, his deep, dark pupils appearing profound.

When Chi Yue got home, she was the only one there. Presumably, Nan Yuan had taken Nan Baixuan to the company again.

There wasn’t much time left to stay at the company, so she simply continued to handle the unfinished work at home.

As night quickly fell, Nan Yuan called home, saying he would send Nan Baixuan over to the Nan Family’s parents tonight.

After all these years with Nan Yuan, she knew all too well that he was giving her time to herself.

He still unwaveringly believed she had already remembered everything.

Fu Mianmian called her, saying she was hungry.

Without thinking, Chi Yue told her to come over for a meal.

She planned to prepare food and send it over, but unexpectedly, Fu Mianmian came over, bringing Fu Rongyin with her.

Fu Rongyin looked much better, casually dressed in light-colored leisure wear, adding a touch of laziness and casualness, which made him seem much less distant.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Chi Yue let them in.

"Dinner isn’t ready yet. You guys wait a bit, there’s fruit on the coffee table, help yourselves to some first."

Chi Yue returned to the kitchen, thinking of how Fu Mianmian’s eyes lit up at the sight of the snacks and fruit, and then remembering the empty kitchen at Fu Rongyin’s home, she inexplicably began to feel sorry for Fu Mianmian.

It’s often said that men don’t know how to take care of children, and it seems this statement isn’t unfounded.

She quickly prepared a few dishes, all with light flavors.

As she was nearly finished cooking, Fu Rongyin came into the kitchen.

Chi Yue glanced at him, "I don’t need your help here."

"I’m not here to help," he said. "Thank you for today."

"...You’re welcome."

She was forced by Chu Shuo after all.

He stood there, silent and not leaving, and just as Chi Yue thought he had more to say, he suddenly turned and went back to the living room.

Chi Yue: "..."

After dinner, Fu Mianmian chased after her.

"Mommy, can I sleep with you?"

"You can’t. I could hurt you."

Chi Yue’s hand was still wrapped in gauze.

Nan Yuan said that the reason she didn’t hit too hard wasn’t because her condition had improved, but because Fu Mianmian had affected her.

Fu Mianmian seemed very disappointed, "Then can I sleep in the room next to yours? I’ll sleep with daddy, we won’t disturb you, okay?"

"This..."

"Mianmian, don’t be stubborn, we should go home,"

Fu Rongyin came in from outside, picked her up, "Sorry for disturbing you today."

After finishing his words, he left, not giving her a chance to respond.

Chi Yue stood in the kitchen, faintly hearing Fu Mianmian’s crying fading away into the night.

Chi Yue stood still for a long time.

She walked back into the living room and, out of the corner of her eye, saw that Fu Mianmian’s toys were left behind. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the toys and walked out.

The front door of Fu Rongyin’s house wasn’t closed, slightly ajar.

She pushed the door open and walked in, hearing a woman’s voice inside.

"Mianmian, do you miss mommy?"
