Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Success Depends on the Fortune of these Few Days

Chi Yue could tell who it was from the voice and footsteps without even looking back.

Today when she arrived here, she saw Fu Rongyin with Lu Cheng’s sister, Lu Nanxi.

Recently, every time she had seen Fu Rongyin, Lu Nanxi had also been there, adding a touch of truth to the news.

As her thoughts churned, the man had already come to her side and stood parallel to her.

"Why don’t you go and greet the guests?"

Chi Yue, "Thank you for the reminder."

She turned to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Chi Yue looked back in confusion, meeting his deep, phoenix-like eyes.

Chi Yue was the first to look away, "Mr. Fu had better keep his distance, lest I be branded the other woman again."

She tried to pull her hand back, but Fu Rongyin simply wouldn’t let go.

Chi Yue’s eyes showed a hint of annoyance as she lowered her voice, "Aren’t you afraid of being seen? I am."

"If it’s already done, what’s there to be afraid of being seen?"

Chi Yue was taken aback at first, then her expression darkened, "Do you really have to talk about this here?"

After those two times, neither of them had brought up the incident again, yet Fu Rongyin suddenly mentioned it today.

Chi Yue didn’t doubt that he had been provoked, but she had no time to ponder that now.

"Let go." She tried once more to shake off his hold.

But far from letting go, Fu Rongyin tightened his grip instead.

His hawk-like eyes filled with an emotion that she couldn’t understand; Chi Yue found herself unable to read him for a moment.

As the standoff continued and Chi Yue was about to get angry, Fu Rongyin finally spoke.

"Do you really have to marry him?"

Chi Yue was stunned.

"What do I need to do for you not to marry him?"

In a daze, Chi Yue saw a fleeting glimpse of sorrow in the depths of his eyes.

She collected herself and said calmly, "Mr. Fu, what are you talking about? I’m already married to my husband, we just need to have the wedding ceremony."

Her implication was clear, his words held no meaning.

However, Fu Rongyin countered, "You are not married yet."

Chi Yue pursed her lips and forcibly withdrew her hand, surprised that this time she succeeded.

She stepped back and said, "We’re business partners, and you’re welcome to discuss work with me, as well as to come and drink at our wedding."

Chi Yue then walked away.

Fu Rongyin stood there for a long, long time before he finally averted his gaze.

Turning around, he was met with Chu Shuo’s half-smiling eyes.

Fu Rongyin ignored him and walked past.

"Old Five, that’s not how you chase a woman. You’ve already confirmed she’s not married and you have a daughter with her; from any angle, you have more advantages than Nan Yuan."

Fu Rongyin didn’t stop his steps, "It’s none of your business."

Chu Shuo laughed, "Then don’t drag me out for drinks in the dead of night. Just because you don’t have a nightlife doesn’t mean I don’t either."

Chu Shuo walked quickly to his side and patted his shoulder, "Brother, I’m thinking of your happiness; being celibate for too long really will cause problems."

After saying this, Chu Shuo added in a whisper, "Don’t blame me for not telling you beforehand. Chi Yue will be on a business trip tomorrow, and it just so happens that your company has a project there too. She will have her wedding when she returns. Success or not, it all depends on these next few days."

Chi Yue had claimed to be married to Nan Yuan, and not many outsiders knew about it; when asked by others, they would just say they were already married, with no way to verify.

But holding a wedding ceremony was different. With the influence of the Bai Family and the Nan Family in the circle, the matter would become known to all. If Fu Rongyin kept pestering them after that, he would be branded as the legitimate homewrecker.

Chu Shuo had really racked his brains for his friend.
