The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 910 - 0894 Not necessary

Chi Mu turned around, indifferent and with a slight curve to his lips, but only glanced at her briefly before withdrawing his gaze.

"Do you have the means to make me stay?"

Duan Xuewei’s face turned even paler, but after a moment, she smiled coldly.

"I don’t, so does she?"

Chi Mu’s expression remained silent, his eyes as cold and indifferent as water, his straight figure exuding an unspeakable aloofness.

"Must you humiliate yourself?" He lifted his eyes, his elongated figure standing at the door, exuding nobility and coldness, his voice devoid of warmth and undisturbed, "She is different from you."

Duan Xuewei’s face was indescribably unpleasant, her gaze toward him filled with obsession and stubbornness.

"So? Is that why you married her back then? What’s the difference between her and me?"

Chi Mu turned, slightly tilting his head to look at her, his well-defined side profile exquisite but carrying a hint of cold sarcasm and sternness.

"She is more sensible than you."

A simple sentence, yet every word was a gem.

Duan Xuewei watched his departing figure, laughing coldly.

"Sensible? So you’re saying I’m insensible?"

In response to her question, Chi Mu’s steps did not pause, he directly opened the ward door and left.

Duan Xuewei looked at the empty doorway, suddenly laughing out loud, coldly muttering:

"Sensible... haha, the more sensible a person is, the less worry they bring, but also the more stubborn. Chi Mu, I also want to see when Ye Zhichen’s heart becomes entirely worn out by you, whether she will still be as ’sensible’ as always."

As Chi Mu left the ward, his assistant, who had been waiting in the corridor, quickly approached.

"President Chi."

Chi Mu glanced at him indifferently, then walked ahead.

The assistant followed behind him, sneaking a glance before cautiously speaking:

"President Chi, I just... ran into the young madam downstairs."

Chi Mu’s steps halted abruptly, he turned sharply, his gaze at the assistant emitting a chilling light.

The assistant’s face instantly froze, a piercing chill climbed his spine.

Chi Mu looked at him for a long time before speaking:

"What did she say?"

The assistant shook his head, "She didn’t say anything, but the young madam... saw Miss Duan’s medical report."

Upon hearing this, Chi Mu stood there coldly, his ink-dyed brows tainted with a layer of chilly smile, his expression incomparably handsome yet exuding a biting cool sternness.

His suppressive cold anger caused the assistant to tremble inwardly, silently lowering his head.

Finally, with his cold and handsome face, he turned and strode away.

-

Ye Zhichen emerged from the bathroom, as if nothing had happened, her expression unnaturally calm.

She sat across from Su Ran, placed her phone on the table, and looked at her.

"Tomorrow, let’s catch a ride together to Li Xu’s engagement party."

"Alright!" Su Ran nodded, trying to make her voice sound casual.

Ye Zhichen knew all too well, smiled, took a sip of the chicken soup beside her, and added another spoonful of rice to her bowl.

Su Ran frowned, again grabbing her hand, and looked at her seriously.

Ye Zhichen met her unwavering gaze, smiled helplessly, and patted the back of her hand gently.

"Don’t worry, I’m not forcing myself."

Su Ran continued to look at her silently.

Ye Zhichen sighed, "Really not, now to me, nothing is more important than my child, others... let them be, whatever!"

Su Ran silently watched Ye Zhichen, though there was still a trace of sadness between her brows, but it also contained a gentle warmth not usually seen.

This child must be Zhichen’s greatest salvation.

His arrival erased the pain Chi Mu caused her.

Indeed a little angel!

Seeing her truly not forcing herself, Su Ran finally released her hand.

The two continued their meal, chatting casually as they ate, eventually discussing Ling Qingan as an unavoidable topic.

"Hey, do you think Ling Qingan will go to Li Xu’s engagement party tomorrow?"

Su Ran’s eyes flickered, remaining silent.

Ye Zhichen sighed, then said: "Wen Jichen will definitely be there, right?"

Su Ran took a sip of water, replied indifferently, "Probably."

"Ah, time changes everything. Remember how carefree and flamboyant Ling Qingan was back then, and now after returning... he’s alone and without support..."

Su Ran curved her lips slightly, time changes everything, doesn’t it?

Who doesn’t say so?

After finishing the meal, the two paid the bill and left the restaurant. Su Ran looked at Ye Zhichen beside her and said:

"Come to my place tonight."

"Huh?"

"Since we’re going to Li Xu’s engagement party together tomorrow, staying at my place tonight is convenient."

Ye Zhichen raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

"What’s inappropriate?" Su Ran retorted.

Ye Zhichen teased, "I’m your family’s Mr. Fu’s number one rival in love, bringing me home, are you sure he won’t annihilate me?"

Su Ran choked, "He won’t."

Ye Zhichen added, "Shouldn’t you make a call to inform him?"

"No need."

Ye Zhichen raised an eyebrow, since when did Xiao Ran’s status in her family soar like this?

Her thought flitted briefly, then turned her eyes to see Su Ran taking out her phone to dial Fu Qiyuan’s number.

Ye Zhichen: "..." If you hadn’t made that call, I might have believed you!

Facing Ye Zhichen’s teasing gaze, Su Ran coughed awkwardly, the call quickly connected.

"Xiao Ran?"

"Mr. Fu, I need to tell you something." Su Ran stepped a little farther away.

Ye Zhichen: "..."

"Mm, go ahead."

Su Ran scratched her head, "Uh... Zhichen is staying at our place tonight."

"..." No sound came from Fu Qiyuan.

Seeing the man remain silent, Su Ran hurriedly added:

"She’s coming with us to Li Xu’s engagement party tomorrow, so staying with us is convenient."

Fu Qiyuan paused, "What about Chi Mu?"

Su Ran pursed her lips, her expression indifferent, "It’s a bit complicated, I’ll talk about it later, I’ve already promised Zhichen."

Fu Qiyuan pressed his lips together, remained silent for a long time, then said:

"Mrs. Fu, do you not love me anymore?"

Su Ran sputtered, but replied, "Of course I love you."

"Then who is more important to you, me or Ye Zhichen?"

Su Ran: "..."

Though she couldn’t imagine Fu Qiyuan’s expression when asking this question, she’s sure he remembers.

At Li Xu’s bachelor party, Ye Zhichen had earlier asked whom she would save first if both she and Fu Qiyuan fell into the water, now asking this shows he wasn’t satisfied with the earlier answer.

Question: What to do when husband and best friend vie for affection?

Answer: Speak accordingly to the situation!

Su Ran looked up at the sky, "You!"

Fu Qiyuan’s thin lips curved slightly, only then was he satisfied, "Okay, she’s welcome."

"Ah?"

"She can stay at our place tonight."

Upon hearing this, Su Ran couldn’t help but beam with joy, ready to answer but upon meeting Ye Zhichen’s teasing gaze, her expression suddenly turned serious and said formally:

"Alright."
