"This is my room, if I don't come here, where else should I go?"
Chi Yue's face was stern, "Aren't you afraid that Lady Ling will be angry if you come here?"
Fu Rongyin spoke slowly and deliberately, "It's my own room, why should she be angry about that?"
With that, he lifted the quilt next to her.
Almost as soon as he sat down, Chi Yue got out of bed.
Fu Rongyin frowned, "I won't eat you, what are you so nervous about?"
Chi Yue thought to herself, you might not eat people, but you could devour someone whole, inside and out.
"Come up."
Chi Yue didn't move, "If you have something to say, just say it like this, I can hear you."
"Chi Yue," Fu Rongyin's voice softened a touch, "If you don't want to marry me, why would you collaborate with her?"
Chi Yue was surprised by his words, yet felt it made sense.
She didn't have much to hide, "Because as long as I help her drive Lady Ling away, she will help me fulfill a wish."
"To help you leave my side?" he said.
