Chi Yue really didn’t know what to say, so she could only look towards Fu Rongyin, who was pulling a long face, wearing his displeasure openly.
Chi Yue had no choice but to say, "This is a matter between the two of you, and I believe you’ve considered it carefully, so we’re happy for you."
Fu Rongyin still wore a cold expression and didn’t speak, but at least he didn’t contradict Chi Yue’s words.
The al wasn’t exactly joyful, but the atmosphere wasn’t too oppressive either.
Fu Rongyin said very little, and when he was unhappy, he spoke even less.
It wasn’t until they lay in bed that night that Chi Yue finally got him to speak up, "Xiao Yan and Nan Yuan have known each other for no less ti than we have. By pulling such a face, you’re making it hard for Xiao Yan."
Fu Rongyin snorted lightly, "She got married without so much as a word, does she think she’s sothing now?"
Chi Yue paused, then said in a low voice, "Didn’t I also decide on my own to get our marriage certificated with you? To my Grandma and uncle, I was also acting first and reporting after."
"Can she be happy with Nan Yuan?"
"Then let ask you, am I happy with you?"
Fu Rongyin fell silent again, staring at Chi Yue with wide open eyes.
After a long while, he said coolly, "When did you learn to talk back?"
"This isn’t talking back, this is freedom of speech. If you think I’m not happy after marrying you, you’re free to go stop Xiao Yan now."
Fu Rongyin stared at her for a long while before suddenly pinning her beneath him, "Getting gutsy, huh?"
Chi Yue wrapped her arms around his neck in a good-natured gesture, "Fu Rongyin, none of us have it easy. We’ve finally made it to where we are now, and Nan Yuan’s parents have agreed too. You should always respect Xiao Yan’s choice. Nan Yuan is so close to us that if she ends up unhappy and regrets it, we can always bring her back ho."
Fu Rongyin kept gazing at her.
Feeling uneasy under his stare, Chi Yue simply reached down, pulling herself up to his lips, "Want a bite?"
Fu Rongyin didn’t move.
Chi Yue let go, "If you don’t want to, forget it."
However, the next second, he immobilized her body.
Looking into his somber eyes, Chi Yue circled her arms around him again reluctantly, "Do you want it or not?"
Fu Rongyin bent his head to nibble her lip, "Will it satisfy you?"
"It will."

Before long, the weather gradually cooled down, especially in the mornings and evenings when the chill intensified.
Fu Mianmian began to linger in bed in the mornings, and Chi Yue would personally go to wake her, cajoling her out of bed.
Fu Mianmian beca more lively and affectionate, clinging to Chi Yue all day and declaring her love for Mommy, much to Fu Rongyin’s chagrin.
This ungrateful little one had been cared for by him for years, yet the mont she had a mother, she didn’t want her father anymore.
When Chi Yue discovered Fu Rongyin’s petty side, she would privately soften her approach to compensate him, and to outsiders, they appeared to be a happy and perfect family of three.
But that day, Ah Rou ca knocking again, and she brought Ari with her.
Ah Rou looked at the harmonious scene of the family of three with reddened eyes.
This life that should have been hers was usurped by another woman—how could she not hate it?
Ari saw it too, but she instinctively looked at Ah Rou, and seeing her seemingly well-behaved, she said to Fu Rongyin, "I’m here today to talk to you about Lady Fan. There might be so misunderstandings; she..."
"I think you’re the one who is mistaken," Fu Rongyin interrupted her, "We have nothing to discuss, and I have nothing to discuss with you either. As for misunderstandings, I have my own judgnt."
Ari was sowhat shocked.
She had known Fu Rongyin for no short period, and he had always been polite to her—it was the first ti he spoke to her like this.
She was about to speak again, but Ah Rou next to her was quicker.
"Ah Yin, how could you beco like this? My sister has always been so good to you. Has she ever hard you that you speak to her this way?"
Fu Rongyin looked indifferent, "What’s it to you?"
Ah Rou was taken aback, then showed a disbelieving expression, "How could you beco like this? How could you..."
Suddenly she glared at Chi Yue, pointing at her and accusing loudly, "Is it her? It’s her who spoke ill of us to you, right? Ah Yin, you once said you would never et her in this lifeti, but not only did you et her, you married her, you... you two..."
