Chapter 535: Chapter 535: He Has Other Secrets

Four years ago, Fu Rongyin, compelled by the situation, had no choice but to have her sent away. He thought his power would protect her, but although he had guarded against Xu Zhenwen, he hadn’t anticipated that Xuesong would pay attention to his every move and then take action against her.

It wasn’t until he learned of the accident involving Chi Yue that Fu Rongyin’s mental defenses collapsed.

Jiang Ye said that during that time, Fu Rongyin would stay up all night, fooling himself into thinking she was still safely in prison. That was also why, even knowing later that she was no longer in prison, he still went to the prison gate to meet her as agreed upon her release.

Jiang Ye also said that Fu Rongyin’s breakdown wasn’t sudden, but accumulated day by day.

If Nan Yuan hadn’t handed Fu Mianmian over to him, who knows where Fu Rongyin might be now...

A pain in her jaw snapped Chi Yue back to reality, and she frowned, "What are you doing?"

"Can you still be distracted while in my arms?"

Chi Yue, annoyed, pushed his hand away, "Just thinking about some things."

"Thinking about what, huh?"

Chi Yue looked at him and suddenly felt like teasing him.

"Fu Rongyin, if Lady Fan insists on having you return to her side, what would you do?"

"There are no ifs."

"I mean, suppose, just suppose it really did happen one day? Look, now apart from Xiao Yan, she’s the only blood relative you have left. If something really happens, you wouldn’t be heartless enough not to help her, right?"

Fu Rongyin dangerously narrowed his eyes, "Are you suggesting that I don’t have the ability to protect you?"

Chi Yue wanted to say more, but Fu Rongyin didn’t give her the chance, silencing her incessant talking with a kiss.

...

After that day, Xuesong and Ari never showed up again, but Chi Yue was unsettled by what Fu Rongyin had said that day.

Fu Rongyin had mentioned he indeed had been involved in something during those three years, but she knew that beyond his psychological issues, there seemed to be nothing else, yet clearly, that wasn’t what Fu Rongyin was referring to.

Chi Yue thought of contacting Jiang Ye to ask about the situation, only to find suddenly that Jiang Ye was unreachable.

Since Chu Shuo and Leng Siling had been frequently visiting her, Chi Yue took the opportunity to talk with him.

"Chu Shuo, you know Fu Rongyin has psychological issues, right?"

Chi Yue saw a flicker of surprise in Chu Shuo’s eyes, "He told you?"

"Yes, mainly because he couldn’t hide it anymore."

Chu Shuo laughed, "He also has things he can’t hide? Maybe he is using that as a cover for something else."

Chi Yue pressed, "Covering up what? Does he have other secrets?"

Chu Shuo met her probing gaze, suddenly realizing what he had said, his smile deepened, "Trying to get information from me, huh~ If you really want to know, why don’t you ask him directly?"

"Do you think I’d be asking you if he were willing to talk?"

"That’s true~ but asking me is useless, I don’t know much; I was busy managing his company during that time."

Chi Yue caught on to an important point, "So he wasn’t with you during that time?"

Chu Shuo didn’t fall for it, "Chi Yue, why don’t you just ask him directly? If he refuses to talk, just threaten or tempt him."

Seeing that Chu Shuo truly wouldn’t speak, Chi Yue had no choice but to give up.

That evening, Leng Siling suddenly proposed to stay over. Chu Shuo looked at her for a long time, finally agreeing with a stern face.

Fu Rongyin was in the study. Chi Yue went to put Fu Mianmian to sleep. Coming out of the children’s room, she saw Leng Siling leaning against the doorway.

As their eyes met, Chi Yue paused briefly, then asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Leng Siling smiled, "Why else do you think I would stay? Shall we find a place to talk?"

She glanced meaningfully towards the study.
