Chapter 424: Chapter 424: If There Was a Second Choice, She Definitely Wouldn’t Be Here

Chi Yue returned to her room, took a bath, and then dove into bed, sleeping heavily.

When she opened her eyes again, it had already become dark outside.

She propped herself up and felt a wave of dizziness, forcing her to lie down again.

She felt as if her waist wasn’t her waist, her legs weren’t her legs, and her whole body was weak.

She took out her phone to call her secretary, who quickly came over, touched her forehead, and exclaimed, "Mr. Chi, you have a fever!"

Chi Yue frowned. "How could that be?"

She thought it was because Fu Rongyin had exhausted her.

In the past, although he was unrestrained, he had never kept her up all night without rest. Perhaps it was this overexertion that had caused her fever.

As thoughts swirled in her mind, the secretary had already grabbed her bag and was ready to leave. "Mr. Chi, you rest first, I’ll go buy you some medicine."

"Also get some painkillers."

Her period was due tomorrow, and it was always good to be prepared in advance.

It was strange, but ever since she got out of prison, she had noticed that the pain during her periods wasn’t as intense as before, and she didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing.

The secretary returned quickly, also bringing two ice packs.

She first gave Chi Yue some fever medicine, then placed the ice packs on her forehead.

"The ice pack might be a bit painful, just bear with it."

After taking the medicine, it was not long before Chi Yue felt sleepy. In a daze, she heard her secretary mention that she was sweating a lot.

She thought of changing her clothes but her eyelids were too heavy, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that she had fallen asleep, and worried about the excessive sweating, the secretary went to get a towel to wipe her sweat.

Upon unbuttoning her pajamas, the secretary froze.

All over Chi Yue’s shoulders and collarbone were kiss marks, already turning purple.

As someone who had been through it all, she knew exactly what had happened.

But when she left yesterday, her neck and collarbones had been clean. It must have happened last night.

The secretary reacted quickly, quickly averting her gaze, wiped the sweat off, and then buttoned her up again.

Chi Yue woke up the next morning, and the secretary was not there. Feeling much better, she got out of bed to take a bath on her own.

After the bath, she felt refreshed.

Just as she was about to contact the secretary, the secretary came in carrying food.

"Awake? How do you feel?"

Chi Yue touched her stomach and chuckled lightly, "Much better, just hungry."

She hadn’t eaten anything from the time she went to see Fu Rongyin till now.

The secretary smiled and walked over, opening the food container as she spoke, "It’s certain you’d be hungry, but you can only eat something light today."

"Truly hungry people aren’t choosy eaters."

After a large bowl of porridge and some snacks, Chi Yue finally regained her strength.

"Mr. Chi, President Nan called me, said to wrap up our work here and return earlier, he wants to throw a celebration banquet."

Chi Yue raised an eyebrow, "Has he returned?"

"Yes, and he said he has a surprise for you when you get back."

Thinking of what he had mentioned before, Chi Yue roughly guessed what it was.

"We’ll finish up the work here today. If possible, let’s buy tickets for tonight’s flight back."

"Sure."

Dealing with work inevitably led to interactions with Fu Rongyin.

Chi Yue’s attitude towards him was always indifferent. When greetings were unavoidable, she would courteously say hello and then continue talking to others.

But she didn’t know that Fu Rongyin’s gaze always followed her, a fact even the secretary had noticed.

After finishing the work, Chi Yue went to the restroom.

She really didn’t enjoy these social gatherings. If there had been another choice, she definitely wouldn’t have been here.

After touching up her makeup, she looked in the mirror, jumped off the stool, and left.

In the hallway, Chi Yue was blocked by Fu Rongyin.

She tried several times to bypass him, but with his long arms and legs, it was easy for him to stop her.
