Chi Yue's voice was soft, as if patiently explaining the matter.
But Fu Rongyin's face darkened.
"Do you think talking like this will increase my fondness for you? If you want me to marry you, you will need to try harder," he said.
Chi Yue chuckled lightly, "I never said that being with you must end in marriage to you."
"You will. Only by marrying me can you drive Ling Jiayu away; there's no second path."
"We haven't reached that point yet. Who can say for sure? Perhaps before long, you will take the initiative to marry me?"
Fu Rongyin curled his lip, "You are quite confident."
"If I didn't even have that much confidence, I wouldn't be able to charm you."
Out of the corner of her eye, Chi Yue saw Ling Jiayu approaching them and said, "She keeps such a close eye on you, yet she allows you to be with me at night. It makes me wonder, what unspeakable secrets does she have?"
Fu Rongyin's expression remained unchanged, "That's not your concern."
