Entangled with My Ex's Uncle
Chapter 541: Is it just a title that you care so much about?

Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Is it just a title that you care so much about?

Chi Yue was slow to react, and the taxi had already driven away.

Meanwhile, Fu Rao had already opened the door of another car, and Chi Yue sighed lightly, "Fu Rao, you know that if I get in your car, there could be a lot of trouble."

"If you have nothing to hide, why would you care about what others think?"

"I don’t care about what others think; I care about his thoughts. As soon as I get in your car, this matter will become irreparable."

"Is that so?"

Chi Yue couldn’t shake the feeling that Fu Rao’s tone was sinister when he said this.

Without overthinking, Chi Yue hailed another cab and got in.

After driving for a while, the driver said to her, "Was that guy just now your suitor? His car is right behind us. If you want, I can stop up ahead."

Chi Yue didn’t even blink, "No need, keep going."

Fu Rao really did follow. How was she going to explain this to Fu Rongyin?

Chi Yue gave it some thought and sent Fu Rongyin a message, [Are you at home?]

Before long, she sent another: [I ran into Fu Rao on the road, he said he was going to see you.]

The messages were like stones sinking into the sea, with no reply.

Chi Yue couldn’t fathom Fu Rongyin’s thoughts and, fearing that he hadn’t seen the messages, was about to dial his number when his call came through.

"Where are you?" This was the first call he’d initiated to her since leaving the house that day.

It was at this moment Chi Yue realized that her concern for him was greater than she had imagined.

Her eyes began to sting slightly, "In a taxi."

Hearing the strangeness in her voice, Fu Rongyin said sternly, "I’ll be home soon."

Chi Yue wanted to remind him about Fu Rao, but he had already hung up the phone.

So be it, let’s wait until we get home to discuss everything. Besides, she wasn’t sure if Fu Rao would really follow through.

What she didn’t know was that Fu Rao really did show up, and they arrived home simultaneously.

Fu Rongyin stood at the entrance, his car parked beside him, watching expressionlessly as they got out of their respective cars.

As Chi Yue approached, he strode towards the house, moving so swiftly that his expression was unclear.

She entered the foyer, and Fu Rao followed close behind.

"Fifth Uncle, after all these years, you still don’t seem to welcome me."

The leisurely voice from the doorway managed to make Fu Rongyin halt in his steps.

"I’m not your Fifth Uncle, don’t call the wrong person."

His voice was indifferent, betraying no emotional change.

Fu Rao laughed, "Although we are not blood-related, in my heart, you are my Fifth Uncle. It’s just a title; do you care that much about it?"

Fu Rongyin looked away and went into the kitchen.

Chi Yue followed soon after and closed the kitchen door.

"About that, I really did just run into him. I had barely exchanged a few words before he said he wanted to come over. I..."

"I know."

At his words, Chi Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Was it because he had arranged bodyguards for her that he felt so at ease letting her get out of the car halfway?

As she was pondering this, Fu Rongyin handed her a tray, "Go entertain the guest."

"?"

"Everyone who comes is a guest."

Chi Yue took the tray to the living room. Fu Rao was sitting on the couch, looking at a picture of Fu Mianmian, seemingly lost in thought.

After Fu Rongyin had made his stance clear, she no longer needed to avoid suspicion. Seeing Fu Rongyin getting drinks and glasses at the bar, Chi Yue finally asked Fu Rao, "When did you come back?"

Fu Rao responded with a counter-question, "Your child is already this big?"

"Yes, our child is a little younger than yours. Next time you bring yours over, it’s nice to have more playmates."

Fu Rao glanced at her, but didn’t continue the conversation.

At that moment, Fu Rongyin came over with a drink, silently pouring him a glass.

Fu Rao looked at him with a half-smile, "I thought you would throw me out, Fifth Uncle. You really impress me."

Fu Rongyin didn’t respond, just gestured for him to drink.

Fu Rao declined, "No thanks, I just came to take a look, I’m leaving now."

As Fu Rao tried to stand up, Fu Rongyin suddenly blocked his path and said unhurriedly, "What’s the rush? No one’s at your house; you’d be alone if you went back."
