22: Chapter 22 She’s Going on a Blind Date
22 -22 She’s Going on a Blind Date
“Compensation.”
Chi Yue sarcastically curled her lips and looked down again, “That’s just something adults do when they’re both willing.
No need to dwell on it.”
Fu Rongyin narrowed his eyes, “I’m only giving you one chance.
Reject it and there won’t be another.”
“Thank you, but this matter can only be resolved by getting married.”
Having said that, she stood up and left, not giving Fu Rongyin a chance to speak.
The contract between Bai Qing and Chi Jianshan was legally binding, and if she took a fake marriage certificate back, Chi Jianshan would surely verify its authenticity.
She didn’t want to complicate things further, so she had to ensure the marriage certificate was real.
Fu Rongyin had already made it clear that he couldn’t marry her, even if it was just to get divorced later, so why should she waste her time on him?
At night, Chi Yue and Nan Bingyu shared a tent.
Nan Bingyu had long been asleep, but Chi Yue couldn’t sleep at all and simply sat outside the tent, looking at the stars.
Memories of the past few days flashed through her mind and suddenly she made up her mind.
Suddenly, her shoulder felt heavy as someone draped a garment over her.
A familiar scent filled her nose, and even without turning around, Chi Yue knew who it was.
“Can’t sleep?” he asked.
Chi Yue countered, “Aren’t you also unable to sleep?”
Fu Rongyin sat down beside her, only a fists’ width separating their arms.
Unable to sit any longer because of his arrival, she stood up, “I’m going to rest.”
After taking two steps, her ankle was caught, and Chi Yue, unprepared, fell uncontrollably to the side.
She exclaimed in shock, bracing for impact with the ground, she shut her eyes in despair.
The anticipated pain didn’t come.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in Fu Rongyin’s embrace.
Their eyes met, and Fu Rongyin kissed her, his hand cupping the back of her head.
Chi Yue was stunned!
Within five meters there were several tents, yet Fu Rongyin dared to do this right here…
Chi Yue used all her strength to push him away and hurried back into her tent, disheveled.
There was no light inside the tent, and Chi Yue quietly slipped back into her sleeping bag.
The next day, she shared her decision with Nan Bingyu, who was so shocked she couldn’t calm down for a long time.
“You mean, you’re going to go on a blind date?”
Chi Yue signaled for her to keep her voice down, “I’ve already decided.”
Nan Bingyu gasped, “Are you doing this to settle the big issue of your life before Auntie leaves?
But Chi Yue, Auntie wouldn’t want to see you just pick someone to spend your life with.
Besides, didn’t you and the Master just last night…”
Chi Yue frantically covered her mouth.
Nan Bingyu rolled her eyes.
She had woken up in the middle of the night and didn’t see Chi Yue, only to crawl out from the tent to find Chi Yue on top of Fu Rongyin, frightening her so much she scrambled back into her sleeping bag, not daring to make a move.
It wasn’t that she wanted Chi Yue to be with Fu Rongyin at all costs, but if Fu Rongyin was willing to help, he would be a great option, even better suited than Chu Shuo.
Nan Bingyu removed her hand and said, “Didn’t you say before that it didn’t matter whether you got married or not?
Why the sudden urgency?”
Chi Yue pondered for a moment, then told her about Bai Qing’s dowry.
Nan Bingyu was silent.
If that was the case, she did support Chi Yue, but not the idea of her picking someone at random to deal with the situation.
If by chance the person wasn’t right, Chi Yue’s life could be ruined.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, “Why don’t you consider my brother?”
Chi Yue glanced at her annoyedly, “Are you planning to trap your brother?”
“No, no.
My brother has also been worried about finding a wife.
He’s part of the ‘no marriage’ crowd, but he hopes to find a woman to help him deal with the family’s pressure to marry.”
Chi Yue felt somewhat tempted, as the conditions did seem to match.
“So…”
“Chi Yue!
Are you so eager to get married?
Neither Chu Shuo nor my Fifth Uncle are able to satisfy your ambitions, and now you want to rope in someone from the Nan Family too?”
Fu Rao stood behind them, his presence startling them.
Nan Bingyu leapt up, “Fu Rao, are you crazy?
Don’t you know scaring people can scare them to death?”
Fu Rao’s attention was entirely on Chi Yue, “If you’re so keen on marriage, why didn’t you agree to marry me in the first place?”
