Entangled with My Ex's Uncle-Chapter 981: Showcasing a Young Woman’s Shyness to the Fullest

She clearly heard that Leng Siling’s child was Chu Shuo’s, so logically, he had a good chance of winning his wife and child back.

But Fu Rongyin said, "It’s hard for me to comment on this; if you want to know, you might as well ask Nan Bingyu."

Chi Yue gave him a shove, "Why didn’t you remind me earlier?"

Nan Bingyu was supposed to come to the Chi Family today, but Xi Yihang wanted to take her on a business trip out of town. She should be back tonight, but it’s so late now, it’s not a good time to disturb her.

Chi Yue put on her robe and headed out. Fu Rongyin asked her from behind, "Where are you going?"

"The children’s room, afraid Yuanzi will cry for familiarity."

Yuanzi is almost a year old now, and after spending so much time in Beijing, who knows if he’ll adapt to being back.

The nanny saw her coming and quickly got up, "Madam~"

Chi Yue felt instantly guilty, "I just wanted to see if Yuanzi is comfortable here, and now I woke you up."

"The little master is quite obedient, sleeping soundly."

"Alright, you continue resting, let me know tomorrow if there’s any issue."

The nanny hesitated but finally nodded.

After leaving the children’s room, Chi Yue headed to the master bedroom. Halfway through, she noticed someone at the corner. Just as she approached, no one was there.

Chi Yue returned to the master bedroom, puzzled, and Fu Rongyin was still awake.

She climbed into bed and whispered, "Did you notice anything strange at home?"

"What’s strange?"

Chi Yue shook her head, "Maybe I’m overthinking."

Chi Yue didn’t dwell on the little episode from the night and went to find Nan Bingyu the next day.

Nan Bingyu looked more radiant than ever, especially in front of Xi Yihang, fully embodying the shy demeanor of a little woman.

Chi Yue teased her, "Nan Bingyu, looks like you’ve fallen hard for Xi Yihang."

Nan Bingyu feigned difficulty, "At my age, what options do I have if I don’t go along with him? Now, the two kids are clinging onto him. If I argued with him, those little rascals would follow him with just a finger snap."

Chi Yue chuckled, "The kids clinging to him shows that he’s a competent father."

Nan Bingyu nodded; this was one thing she couldn’t deny.

Xi Yihang wouldn’t go to business dinners at night. No matter how late he works, he always comes back to spend time with the kids, which even Nan Bingyu’s always critical parents couldn’t find fault with.

"Have you decided when to hold the wedding?" Chi Yue suddenly remembered to ask.

"Why bother with a wedding? Isn’t it tiring enough already? Just think about how exhausted you were on your wedding day. I wouldn’t want to put myself through that."

Chi Yue’s impression of her wedding day can be summed up in one word: exhausting.

Even when Lin Wanyun had an incident that day, she didn’t have time to care, and thinking about it still brought her regret.

Thinking of Lin Wanyun, her mood sank again.

But just then, Nan Bingyu asked about what happened in Beijing.

Chi Yue sighed, "It’s like completing Wanyun’s last wish. As long as I raise her child well, I won’t feel guilty towards her."

Nan Bingyu lowered her voice, "Is Zhan Mobai really at your place?"

"What do you think?"

Nan Bingyu giggled, "I heard from a little bird that Fu Rongyin intends to groom him as a successor. Is that true?"

Chi Yue replied, not very pleased, "If I tell you, the whole Nancheng will know by tomorrow."

Nan Bingyu feigned anger, "Am I that kind of person?"

Chi Yue gave her a look that clearly said, "You are, no doubt."

Instantly deflated, Nan Bingyu asked, "Yueyue, do you think Xi Yihang and I have a future?"

Chi Yue paused at the words, "Why say that?"
