172: Chapter 172: The Unknown Secret 172: Chapter 172: The Unknown Secret Chi Yue’s voice was soft, as if patiently explaining the matter.
But Fu Rongyin’s face darkened.
“Do you think talking like this will increase my fondness for you?
If you want to marry you, you will need to try harder,” he said.
Chi Yue chuckled lightly, “I never said that being with you must end in marriage to you.”
“You will.
Only by marrying can you drive Ling Jiayu away; there’s no second path.”
“We haven’t reached that point yet.
Who can say for sure?
Perhaps before long, you will take the initiative to marry ?”
Fu Rongyin curled his lip, “You are quite confident.”
“If I didn’t even have that much confidence, I wouldn’t be able to charm you.”
Out of the corner of her eye, Chi Yue saw Ling Jiayu approaching them and said, “She keeps such a close eye on you, yet she allows you to be with at night.
It makes wonder, what unspeakable secrets does she have?”
Fu Rongyin’s expression remained unchanged, “That’s not your concern.”
When Ling Jiayu reached Chi Yue, she said with a light smile, “Miss Chi really should dress up more.
Tonight, the two most eligible n were attracted to you, not to ntion the other n.”
The two n she referred to were Fu Rongyin and Nan Yuan.
Chi Yue said casually, “I never dress up to be noticed by others.”
Fu Rongyin looked at her intensely and left with Ling Jiayu.
Chi Yue didn’t see Fu Rongyin again that night.
He did not return all night.
On her way to work, Chi Yue received a call from Xu Zhenwen, “Did Ah Yin not co ho last night?”
Chi Yue replied, “He didn’t return to No.1 Bay.”
Xu Zhenwen frowned, “He left with Ling Jiayu and then didn’t co back?”
Chi Yue, “I’m not clear on who he left with in the end.”
“Chi Yue, don’t forget, we’ve signed a contract.
If you don’t have the capability, I can find soone else.”
Chi Yue’s tone was calm, “You can look for soone else, but you’ll have to pay a penalty for breaching the contract.
Ms.
Xu, others might not get as close to him as I can, unless you go to Lady Ling and persuade her to leave on her own.”
Of course, Xu Zhenwen knew that Chi Yue was the best choice.
She moderated her tone, slightly impatiently, “Ling Jiayu is not as easy to deal with as you think.
Soone who has faked their death for so many years cos back suddenly and can even use their old identity—no one knows what other secrets she’s hiding.”
“Thank you for the reminder.
I will be careful,” Chi Yue responded.
Seeing that Chi Yue was always so bland in her responses, Xu Zhenwen decided not to press her further.
Before hanging up, she said, “You’ve resud work at the authentication center, haven’t you?
I’ll have soone send a sample over later.
Once the results are out, bring them directly to .”
Chi Yue, “Understood.”
No sooner had she arrived at the studio than soone delivered the sample to her.
The manager smiled obsequiously, “You really are the lucky star of this place.
After you left, it was so quiet around here.
Now that you’re back, we have regulars coming in every other day.
To say you’re the God of Wealth wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”
Chi Yue said wryly, “Coming here is hardly a good thing.”
“Who says?
We’re doing great deeds here, helping people reunite and enjoy family happiness.
How can that not be a good thing?”
Chi Yue pulled a face, taking the sample to the lab, “Then I’m off to do good deeds.”
“Go on, then,” said the manager.
Before leaving work in the afternoon, Chi Yue called Xu Zhenwen to say the results were ready.
Xu Zhenwen told her soone would co to pick her up.
Chi Yue had just walked downstairs when she saw Fu Rongyin’s car parked at the curbside.
The car window rolled down, revealing Fu Rongyin’s resolute face.
“Get in,” he said.
Chi Yue’s gaze passed over him and settled on the woman in the passenger seat.
