Chapter 673: Chapter 673: He’s Not Coming Back, Just Pretend He Never Existed

“We both have what we need, and if he doesn’t regain his memory, it’s okay to live like this for a lifetime… We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”

In fact, Nan Bingyu hadn’t told Chi Yue that her two children were very fond of Xi Yihang.

Even though Xi Yihang didn’t know those two children were his, he treated them as his own, which gradually made her decide to settle down and live a good life.

But as for the future, who can predict it accurately?

Chi Yue stayed with Nan Bingyu for two days before returning to the studio, and that afternoon, Mr. Qi came to visit.

Chi Yue wore her guard on her face, and her eyes were filled with hostility when looking at Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi, however, smiled, “It seems you are aware. Young lady, I came here today to tell you that my grandson has returned to Beijing, and as for your marriage…”

“I’m not going to divorce him.”

“Hm?” Mr. Qi was somewhat surprised, “Haven’t you been demanding a divorce all this time?”

Chi Yue didn’t answer, but instead said, “I don’t know what your intentions are, but I won’t divorce him, no matter what means you use, you won’t be able to separate us.”

“Young lady, do you know what he will be facing back in Beijing? Without the support of his family, he won’t be able to stand on his own there.”

“Why does he have to go there? Staying in Nancheng, staying in Hai City, might not be bad for him either.”

“But that is his home.”

Chi Yue knew Mr. Qi came today to persuade her, and she didn’t plan to talk too much with him.

“Sir, if you have nothing else, please leave. I need to work.”

Mr. Qi gestured to his assistant, who placed a bank card on the table.

“This is compensation for you, as long as you do not appear in Beijing, I won’t demand a divorce.”

Chi Yue laughed at those words.

“What right do you have to demand I divorce him? Sir, haven’t you heard the saying, ‘It’s better to demolish a temple than to break a marriage’? You’re of an age that you should know that children have their own fortunes, right?”

At these words, Mr. Qi was first stunned and then burst into laughter.

“Good, good, you indeed are an interesting girl. It’s just a pity, if you were of a slightly better birth, I would have taken you back with me.”

“Supervisor Dai!”

Chi Yue called out with a dark face, and Dai Qiu immediately ran in.

“Show the guest out!”

Dai Qiu shuddered, looked at Mr. Qi with difficulty, “Sir, our boss has other matters, what do you say?”

Mr. Qi didn’t linger, standing up to leave.

When he got to the door, he suddenly added, “He won’t come back again, you should just forget about him.”

Chi Yue clenched her fists tightly, “That’s not for you to worry about.”

After Mr. Qi left, Dai Qiu returned to the office, looking at her worriedly.

Chi Yue said, “Go on with your work, I’m fine.”

Dai Qiu wanted to ask something but didn’t know how to begin and finally left after a few attempts at consolation.

The office door closed, and Chi Yue sank into her chair in defeat.

Fu Rongyin had left, without saying goodbye to her, even though she thought he would at least tell her himself.

If what Mr. Qi said last was true, that meant Fu Rongyin might likely return to the Qi family in Beijing with a new identity, making it much harder for her to see him from then on.

Chi Yue’s headache was severe, so she decided to set the issue aside for the time being.

After work, Chi Yue saw Chu Shuo waiting for her downstairs.

Chu Shuo didn’t know how long he’d been waiting there, and he rolled down the window when he saw her.

“Get in.”

Chi Yue opened the car door and got in, the smell of smoke in the car hitting her so hard she started coughing violently.

Chu Shuo, realizing only then, turned on the exhaust fan, “Sorry, forgot to open the window.”

After settling down, Chi Yue remembered to ask him, “Why are you smoking here?”

“Got bored waiting for you, just killing time.”

Chi Yue felt something was off, “You could have just called me.”

“Didn’t want to disturb your work.”

Chi Yue sensed his mood was not right, so she did not continue the subject, “Why did you suddenly come to see me?”

Chu Shuo half-joked, “Can’t I come see you if I’ve fallen out with Old Five?”

“…Can’t you speak properly?”

“I can. I’m taking you to dinner.”

Chu Shuo did not speak further on the way, preoccupied with his thoughts, so Chi Yue didn’t bring up any conversation either.

Only when they arrived did Chi Yue realize the reason why Chu Shuo had brought her to this restaurant.
