CHAPTER 707: CHAPTER 707: I WON’T BELIEVE UNTIL THE LAST STEP

The man smiled faintly, "No."

Chi Yue’s face fell instantly, "Then keep your distance from me, or I might knock you out and take you away."

The hand on her waist pinched lightly but firmly a few times, causing Chi Yue’s brows to furrow tightly.

"Let go."

"Who brought you here?" the man’s magnetic voice arose next to her ear, vibrating her eardrum.

Chi Yue’s face burned fiercely, "Your family’s Old Qi brought me here."

"He asked you to come, and you just did?"

The rough pads of his fingers brushed her lips again, making Chi Yue gasp, as she swatted away his hand, "Behave yourself! Aren’t you afraid that I might draw Zhan Youyou here?"

"I’m actually quite looking forward to it."

Chi Yue felt she couldn’t keep talking with him any longer, she pushed and shoved a few times, pushing him into the stall, then quickly slid out herself, straightening her clothes in the process.

"Fu Rongyin, I’m asking you one last time, are you staying or coming with me?"

If his engagement was successful today, she would have to take another approach.

However, Fu Rongyin didn’t answer her question, but counterasked, "If I stay, will you stay with me?"

Chi Yue’s breathing hitched, and she decisively pulled the door open to leave, advising as she closed it, "Wait for me to be gone before coming out."

After washing her face at the sink, Chi Yue took out her makeup kit for touch-ups, just as she was about to leave, Zhan Youyou walked in.

"Chi Yue, you actually dared to come here today!"

Chi Yue surreptitiously glanced at one of the stalls and spoke softly, "What am I afraid of? Besides, Old Qi personally came to fetch me."

Zhan Youyou narrowed her eyes, "You don’t think that just because he came to fetch you, he would acknowledge your identity, do you?"

"It’s not about him acknowledging my identity, but my husband’s identity, and Old Qi has already done so, Qi Yizhou is my husband, Fu Rongyin."

"Impossible!" Zhan Youyou blurted out without thinking, "How could he possibly be your husband? Chi Yue, do you think you’re worthy of him?"

"Whether I’m worthy or not, he is my husband now."

Zhan Youyou, who had already experienced Chi Yue’s tenacity more than once, suddenly curved her lips, "That’s just you talking here. After today, everyone will know I am Qi Yizhou’s fiancée."

"Then let’s wait and see."

Chi Yue walked out of the restroom, finally receiving a reply from Nan Yuan.

The message from the other side confirmed there were no issues, and Chi Yue reined in her expression to head for the venue.

Less than half an hour remained for the engagement ceremony, and that’s all the time Nan Yuan had left too.

Indeed, she didn’t trust Mr. Qi, she was set on stealing the groom.

Upon returning to Mr. Qi’s side, he didn’t notice anything off about Chi Yue, instead he cautioned her, "The ceremony is about to begin, don’t run off later."

Chi Yue nodded obediently, not moving anymore.

Half an hour isn’t too long, but also not too short; Chi Yue checked her phone several times during it.

As soon as the half hour was up, her phone received a message from Nan Yuan.

The message only contained one sentence: [The operation failed.]

Chi Yue felt weak, gripping the table to avoid collapsing in front of them.

She clenched her phone, staring unwaveringly at the outdoor stage that had been set up.

It was at this moment Mr. Qi looked at her, assuming her state was due to nervousness.

"Getting nervous so soon? Young lady, if you can’t handle it, you should go back. The engagement won’t easily be changed," he said.

Chi Yue tensed her jaw, lifting it slightly, "No, it’s not over until the final step, I won’t believe it."

She was indeed curious to see whether it was Nan Yuan who had failed, or Fu Rongyin who was so adamant about marrying Zhan Youyou.
