Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Risking Your Life, Is It Worth It?

Don’t mention Fu Rao, even Chi Yue couldn’t grasp Fu Rongyin’s thoughts.

She tried to speak, but she didn’t know where to begin.

Fu Rongyin suddenly looked at her, "Aren’t you going to take a nap? I can entertain the guests."

The word "guests" successfully made Fu Rao’s expression shift subtly.

Chi Yue, as if pardoned, said, "You two chat, I’m going to rest."

The sound of the door closing came, and the two men on the sofa finally stirred.

Fu Rongyin’s expression became completely cold, and even the false curve of his lips smoothed out.

Fu Rao seemed to understand something and said with light scorn, "Only she would believe your facade."

"We’re husband and wife, if she doesn’t trust me, is she supposed to trust you?"

Thinking of something, Fu Rao chuckled, "That’s also true. Chi Yue has always been indecisive and easily trusts the people around her. Back then, she also trusted..."

Before he could finish saying "me," a cold liquid splashed all over him.

Fu Rao paused, raised his hand to wipe his face, the smile on his lips unchanged, "Sorry, I forgot she’s yours now, no longer the little woman who depended on me."

Fu Rongyin’s grip on the wine glass tightened, and the veins on his forearm were distinctly visible.

His voice, however, was eerily calm, "Has anyone told you not to covet what isn’t yours?"

"But she isn’t yours either, is she? If she always had you in her heart, how could she come to me after breaking up with you? Admit it, Fifth Uncle, she’s still hung up on you."

Fu Rongyin’s voice sank suddenly, "It really is like that."

With the conversation reaching this point, Fu Rao stopped pretending.

"Chi Yue came to me three years ago at her most vulnerable, and I accompanied her back to Nancheng. I thought you would notice something at that time," he chuckled, "Luckily, she hated you then. Otherwise, if she saw the way you were, neither human nor ghost, do you think she would accept you again?"

As the words fell, the sound of glass hitting the floor startled the upstairs Chi Yue awake.

Stepping out of the room, Chi Yue saw the two men with drawn swords, and her heart was filled with shock, "What happened?"

She ran downstairs, and as she got closer, she noticed that the wine glass had shattered to bits.

Looking at Fu Rao and Fu Rongyin, she only saw blood trailing down Fu Rongyin’s forehead, causing Chi Yue’s heart to tremble.

She knew she shouldn’t have left them alone together.

Fu Rongyin’s head had only just recovered, and now he was injured again...

Chi Yue hurriedly found the first aid kit to stop Fu Rongyin’s bleeding. Her hands shook as she finally managed to stop the bleeding, and just as she was about to take Fu Rongyin for a check-up, she heard Fu Rao say, "Fifth Uncle, well played."

Everyone knew about playing the sympathy card.

But before she could finish her sentence, Chi Yue gave her a glare.

She glared at him angrily, "I shouldn’t have let you in. Fu Rao, how can you be so heartless? His head had just started to get better after the surgery, and now you do this, are you trying to kill him?"

Fu Rao had guessed this outcome the moment Fu Rongyin laid hands on himself.

But what he didn’t anticipate were his own feelings for Chi Yue.

The moment she spoke, it struck him harder than Fu Rongyin’s self-harm.

Fu Rao lowered his eyes, "What if I said, he did it to himself? Chi Yue, would you believe me?"

Chi Yue coldly responded, "Do you think he would be that desperate? The door is over there, don’t let it hit you on your way out."

Fu Rao left.

Fu Rongyin refused to go to the hospital, so Chi Yue called the doctor.

While talking to the doctor, Chi Yue’s tone was very calm, as if chatting with a friend about everyday matters.

After hanging up, Chi Yue returned to the room to find Fu Rongyin lying in bed with his eyes closed.

Chi Yue approached and started coldly, "To contest with Fu Rao, you’ve risked your life. Was it worth it?"
