65 -65: Confession in Public
Chi Yue was silent.
If she hadn’t guessed wrong, it must have been what happened at Fu Rongyin’s house that day.
“Yueyue, do you know if Fu Rongyin has other women besides you?”
Chi Yue shook her head.
Nan Bingyu said, “What a question I’ve asked, how could you possibly know who else he’s involved with.”
“The woman Gu Qingyu spoke of, that was me.”
Nan Bingyu suddenly looked at her.
Chi Yue calmly recounted the events of that day, and at last she said, “If Gu Qingyu finds out about this, I’m done for.”
Nan Bingyu swallowed and then shifted to another topic, “You mean, Fu Rongyin also asked Gu Qingyu to find someone?”
With an annoyed look, Chi Yue responded, “Even if Gu Qingyu wanted to search, it’s unlikely he’d do it himself and make a spectacle of himself.”
“That makes sense.
I thought Master was indeed that capricious, but it turns out, after all said and done, the only woman by his side is you.”
Chi Yue, lacking confidence in this aspect, chose not to argue with her about it.
Upon arriving at the hotel’s banquet hall, Fu Hanyan came over to greet them.
“Chi Yue, Nan Bingyu, you’ve finally arrived, I was just about to have Chu Shuo hurry you along.”
Nan Bingyu smiled, “Chu Shuo wouldn’t hurry us; he would come to pick us up himself.”
Hearing the rumors about Chu Shuo wanting to court Chi Yue, Fu Hanyan laughed, “I’ve never seen Chu Shuo so serious about anyone before, Chi Yue, why won’t you accept him?”
Chi Yue felt embarrassed but didn’t want any misunderstandings, so she said, “Chu Shuo and I are just friends.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Hanyan knew what Chi Yue meant, and she sighed, “Chu Shuo is just unlucky, the people he takes an interest in never reciprocate.”
In surprise, Nan Bingyu asked, “Who else was he interested in?”
Fu Hanyan glanced over her shoulder, “Speak of the devil, Chu Shuo once fought with my brother over her.”
At the time, Fu Rongyin was confusedly beaten up, and it was a long while before Chu Shuo realized Fu Rongyin had no interest in Qingyu and apologized profusely, eventually gaining Fu Rongyin’s forgiveness.
Chi Yue also spotted Qingyu at that moment.
Qingyu came over with Fu Rongyin; the two of them walked side by side, not looking particularly close.
Qingyu’s complexion looked good as she stopped in front of them to greet them.
Nan Bingyu and Fu Rongyin exchanged greetings before she pulled Chi Yue away.
“What is Gu Qingyu thinking? no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
The person doesn’t like him, yet he insists on clinging, knowing this, wouldn’t it have been better to agree to be with Chu Shuo?”
Chi Yue said in a voice only audible to the two of them, “Don’t talk nonsense; who knows when it might reach Gu Qingyu’s ears.”
Nan Bingyu gave her a look that told her to figure it out herself, “Wait here for me, I just saw a friend.”
The friend Nan Bingyu saw was undoubtedly a target she had her eye on.
Given her past behavior, she wouldn’t return without succeeding.
Chi Yue had wanted to chat with Chu Shuo, but after not finding him anywhere, she decided to go outside for some air.
Under the tree beside the bushes, Chi Yue stopped to admire the flowers nearby.
A man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind her, “Did Xiao Yan invite you here?”
Startled, Chi Yue whirled around, “Mr.
Fu, don’t you know it’s scary and could frighten someone to death?”
“I see you’re not faint-hearted.”
“I’m not very brave.”
Fu Rongyin glanced at her, “Chu Shuo is planning to make a public confession to you.”
Chi Yue’s face turned pale.
A public confession by Chu Shuo would place her in a difficult position, especially in such a setting.
Chi Yue gritted her teeth, “Mr.
Fu, could you do me one more favor?”
“Speak.”
“Could you pass a message to Chu Shuo for me later?”
Fu Rongyin said, “There’s no benefit for me.”
“What would it take for you to agree to help?”
Fu Rongyin’s gaze flitted to a shadow approaching them; he lowered his voice, “If you dare kiss me here.”
Chi Yue looked incredulous.
It seemed that Fu Rongyin was no exception to the shameful nature of men.
But then she thought about Chu Shuo’s impending confession…
Chi Yue steeled her heart, raised her hand to encircle his neck, and pulled him down to press her lips to his.
