Chu Shuo looked at her eyes, considerably more relieved, and said half-seriously, half-jokingly, "If Old Five doesn't reveal your identity soon, I'm going to get indignant on your behalf."
"Enough, Chu Shuo. When you talk like that, you're only increasing the danger for Yueyue," Nan Bingyu said.
She pulled Chi Yue aside and whispered, "How did you suddenly go public with him?"
Chi Yue recounted what Fu Rongyin had done that day.
Nan Bingyu gasped, "He revealed it without discussing it with you first? No, wait, the main point is, did he protest against the arranged marriage in front of his parents?"
Chi Yue nodded.
That was indeed his intention at the time.
Nan Bingyu opened her mouth, no words came out, but she gave a thumbs up.
Most people in their circle didn't have the freedom to choose their marriage partners; in plain terms, they could play around all they liked, but ultimately, they had to marry someone they didn't love.
So there was a reason within their circle.
