Fan Xuesong’s face stiffened slightly upon hearing this. She wanted to say sothing, but was afraid of saying the wrong thing. Finally, she sighed and said, "Ah Yin, I know you’re still blaming , but at that ti, I had no choice but to protect you siblings."
Fu Rongyin responded with a light "Hmm," and didn’t say anything further.
Chi Yue had previously heard Fan Xuesong’s explanation, and at that ti, she didn’t have much feeling about it. But later, when she accidentally heard from Nan Bingyu that when Xi Yihang was young, he was abandoned and bullied by other children in the orphanage, she thought that Fan Xuesong might really have been protecting them.
Compared to Xi Yihang, Fu Rongyin and Fu Hanyan at least had a complete childhood, with parents and a ho.
It’s unclear whether Fu Rongyin was thinking about this aspect, so he didn’t continue with the topic.
However, when it ca to changing his surna, he absolutely refused to budge.
On the way back to the Siheyuan, both children fell asleep.
Only then did Chi Yue ask Fu Rongyin, "Why won’t you agree? It’s just a surna."
Fu Rongyin glanced at her, "How much money did they give you to act as a spokesperson?"
"I’m not doing it for them. I want to know what you’re thinking."
"Not thinking anything, just that I’ve used this na for so long, I don’t want to change it."
Chi Yue didn’t believe him, "Unless you have a good enough reason."
Fu Rongyin looked at her with a smile, "Really want to know?"
"I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t want to know."
"I’ll take you to a place tomorrow."
The next day, after arranging things for the children, Fu Rongyin took Chi Yue to a temple.
Chi Yue was puzzled, "Why did you bring here?"
Fu Rongyin said nothing, leading her to the backyard. There stood a century-old tree, adorned with red ribbons.
"These are..."
"A marriage tree."
Fu Rongyin walked to a corner and picked up a wooden plaque tied with a red ribbon.
Chi Yue approached and saw that it had their nas written on it.
The bold, sweeping characters contained nothing else flashy, yet left Chi Yue astounded for a long ti.
After a while, she picked up a wooden plaque next to it, again seeing their nas. She continued to browse through the wooden plaques, stopping after looking at a dozen or so.
Looking up again, her eyes were red, "Did you write all these?"
"Hmm, one per year. I didn’t stop even during those ten years when you lost your mory. Fortunately, I persisted."
Chi Yue’s eyes were sour, "Are you foolish?"
Fu Rongyin pulled her into his arms, and for the first ti, he brought up those ten years.
"In those ten years, you forgot . Even when you passed by , you just glanced at with the eyes of a stranger before leaving. I was not willing to accept that, especially since you promised that we’d spend a lifeti together... Later I heard there’s a very spiritual marriage tree in Beijing. If you’re sincere, you can win the heart of your loved one..."
"So you ca here?"
"Yes, I ca once a year. Even after we reunited, I still ca, never stopping."
Chi Yue wrapped her arms around his slender waist, her voice muffled, "I’m sorry, I never knew..."
"Do you realize now how heartless you were?"
Chi Yue couldn’t help but punch him lightly, then lifted her head from his embrace, "And what about Ou Chi?"
"Ou Chi was founded after you heartlessly forgot while I was recovering here."
Chi Yue’s eyes sparkled, "Does that an, indirectly, I’m a big part of Ou Chi?"
Fu Rongyin’s expression dimd slightly, "Is that really worth boasting about?"
Chi Yue buried back into his embrace, hugging him tighter, "Fu Rongyin, thank you for never giving up on ."
"Mm, now you know. Treat well from now on."
Chi Yue couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Okay."
On the way back, Chi Yue was still in a pretty good mood.
But after Fu Rongyin handed her a stack of docunts, her mood gradually sank.
"It’s actually like this! It’s simply outrageous!"
Fu Rongyin wasn’t as excited as she was, "What do you plan to do?"
"I have to think carefully about how to catch them all in one go!"
She knew Chu Shuang was no ordinary person, but she hadn’t expected Chu Shuang to be this extraordinary!
If she handed these matters directly to Lin Wanyun, she certainly wouldn’t have the energy. It would be better to co up with a way to make Chu Shuang expose her identity herself.
