Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Return to the Rightful Owner

Lu Nanxi’s face turned red with anger, "Sharp-tongued! Luckily, Dad doesn’t know what kind of person you are. I came to tell you, if you want to keep Fu Rongyin safe, you better pay more attention to the Gu Family, since there’s only one person there who wants to protect him."

Fu Rongyin had said this to her before, and she agreed, but coming from Lu Nanxi, it took on another meaning altogether.

"What do you want to get from me?"

Lu Nanxi’s lips curved in a smirk, "If I say I want Fu Rongyin, would you give him to me?"

Chi Yue tugged at the corner of her lips, "Go cure your delusions first, then come talk to me."

Chi Yue continued to lower her head to her work, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation with Lu Nanxi.

But Lu Nanxi didn’t leave, and when Chi Yue looked up again, Lu Nanxi was staring obsessively at the hospital bed where Fu Rongyin lay.

Chi Yue narrowed her eyes, "Does Lu Cheng know that you’re coveting a married man?"

Hearing the name Lu Cheng, Lu Nanxi withdrew her gaze, "My brother has been very busy lately, don’t disturb him. If you still care that we are related by blood, then help him out. Don’t let Dad’s lifelong effort be destroyed."

Chi Yue was unmoved, "I have no relation to you."

"Chi Yue," Lu Nanxi’s face turned serious, "Do you really not care at all? Mrs. Bai Senior’s health is declining day by day. How many days do you think she has left? Bai Dongyang has another daughter, how much attention do you think he can spare for you?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Yue’s gaze grew cold, "Don’t disturb them. Lu Nanxi, if you want to steal a man, rely on yourself. Men won through unseemly means can’t be kept."

Lu Nanxi scoffed, "Just wait and see."

After Lu Nanxi left, Chi Yue’s eyes gradually hardened as she looked at the still-unconscious Fu Rongyin.

Before his surgery, he had only guarded against those few people, neglecting Nan Bingyu and Lu Nanxi. If Lu Nanxi caused more trouble, she might not be able to handle it.

With that thought, Chi Yue called Chu Shuo.

Fu Rongyin woke up in the middle of that night, and after triple-checking that there was no problem, he was transferred to a single room for observation.

Chi Yue could finally take care of him closely, but he fell asleep again before he could say much.

When Fu Rongyin finally had the energy to speak with her, a week had passed.

As Fu Rongyin lifted his hand to drink water, he noticed a ring on his finger. With a delayed reaction, he looked at Chi Yue with a deepened gaze.

Chi Yue’s expression was impassive, "Returning to its rightful owner."

"Come here." He beckoned with his hand, holding hers, "What made you think of returning it to me?"

Chi Yue: "It was always yours."

"Is that so? I remember you took it back and said you wanted to cut ties with me."

Those profound eyes became even deeper, to the point that Chi Yue dared not meet his gaze.

"Now that we’re married and didn’t prepare wedding rings, if you don’t mind, we could use this one for now. We can pick one together once you’re better."

Fu Rongyin’s eyes were tinged with a smile, "This one is pretty good."

Seeing that his spirits were better, Chi Yue recounted recent events to him and then said, "After you’re discharged, I need to go back to Nancheng once more."

"No need," Fu Rongyin said, "Xi Yihang and Nan Bingyu are still in Hai City. If they leave town, we’ll get news."

Chi Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise.

He had even thought of this.

"Let Nan Yuan come over, I want to talk with him. Also, don’t interact with the Lu Family. Now that Lu Cheng is almost at his limit, no one knows what he might do at this time."

Chi Yue just looked at him.

Fu Rongyin: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I’m thinking, if you weren’t by my side, my life would probably be pretty awful."

Fu Rongyin’s brow was touched with a hint of amusement, "When did you become so eloquent?"

Chi Yue: "I’ve always been eloquent. It’s just that some people are always so cold, I don’t dare to be reckless."

As they spoke, Chu Shuo came in from outside, a teasing expression on his face, "Am I interrupting something?"
