The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 501 - 516: You Better Not Mess with Me, or I’ll Definitely Take Your Daughter with Me
"Xiao Xi, did Manman tell you yesterday why she had a falling out with Feng Yi?"
Han Xi was resting on the sofa, and upon hearing Xu Lan’s voice, she sat up immediately: "Auntie, Manman wasn’t with me yesterday. Did she argue with Feng Yi?"
"She said last night that she was going to stay at your place. She just came back a bit tipsy. Xiao Xi, please help Auntie talk some sense into this girl. She won’t tell me anything and won’t let me or your uncle go to Feng Yi."
"Auntie, don’t worry. After work tonight, I’ll ask Manman out and have a good talk with her."
"Alright, you must make sure to talk some sense into this girl."
Xu Lan could see that her daughter really liked Feng Yi, and she and Li Shitian already regarded Feng Yi as a son-in-law. They certainly didn’t want anything else to go wrong between the two.
After hanging up the phone, Han Xi immediately dialed Li Manman’s number. The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
"Manman, did you have a fight with Feng Yi?"
Hearing Han Xi’s voice, Li Manman emerged from beneath her covers, her red-rimmed eyes filled with misty tears: "I broke up with him last night."
"Weren’t you two doing well? Why would you suddenly break up?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"I said I wanted to break up, and he didn’t try to stop me or come looking for me. Xiao Xi, I feel terrible."
Li Manman couldn’t help but start crying, feeling as if a dagger was piercing her heart.
Han Xi suddenly realized that this was serious, not just a petty argument: "Manman, stop crying. Tonight we’ll go out to eat with Chu Ci. Tell us whatever is bothering you, and we’ll help you figure it out, okay?"
"Alright, send me the address later."
Li Manman wiped away her tears, suddenly feeling how lucky she was to have two close friends who were always willing to listen to her grievances and pains.
After hanging up, Han Xi called Chu Ci, explaining what happened between Manman and Feng Yi, and asked for her help in advising Manman during dinner.
Chu Ci put down her phone and looked at Fu Bin, who was eating at the dining table: "What did Feng Yi do to Manman that made them break up?"
"I don’t know either. Feng Yi never mentioned breaking up. Maybe it’s Manman throwing a tantrum."
Fu Bin picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Chu Ci’s bowl: "Why don’t you send me the dinner address later, and I’ll have Feng Yi join us."
"Alright, tell Feng Yi to soften up no matter what happened."
Fu Bin leaned over to Chu Ci, a mischievous grin playing at his lips: "I promise never to make you mad in the future, and if I do, I’ll surrender immediately."
"You better not make me mad, or I’ll leave with our daughter and never look back."
Chu Ci propped her chin with one hand, her eyes filled with a playful glint.
"Can I sleep in the master bedroom tonight?"
"Fu Bin, I realized you just want to get me into bed; you don’t really want to date me."
"I think deepening our understanding while dating would enhance our relationship."
"You’re such an animal driven by your lower instincts; don’t even think about it." Chu Ci shot Fu Bin a side-eye and continued eating.
Fu Bin was speechless. It’s not normal for them to still sleep in separate rooms when they already have a child.

That evening, Han Xi left the operating room, gave a few instructions to the nurse, and returned to her office to change clothes. She walked out of the hospital and flagged down a taxi by the roadside.
