Chi Yue made no effort to keep listening, and made a phone call to the bodyguard to have Ah Rou taken away.
Noise quickly filled the room, but then soon returned to quiet.
When Fu Rongyin appeared in the backyard, Chi Yue and Fu Mianmian were watering the flowers.
Fu Rongyin said nothing, just silently stood behind them, watching them play and frolic.
Chi Yue took a moment to look back at him and told him there was food on the stone table. He stood there for a moment longer before he walked over.
Fu Mianmian, exhausted from playing and with night having fallen, bathed and then obediently went to sleep.
After Chi Yue tucked her in, she turned around to find Fu Rongyin standing at the doorway.
He seemed about to speak, but as if guessing his intention, she made a silencing gesture, signaling him to talk outside.
She closed the door, and without giving him a chance to speak, Chi Yue went back to her room and straight into the bathroom.
