Chapter 480: Chapter 480 Important Items

Chi Yue opened her eyes to meet a pair of concerned phoenix-shaped eyes.

Fu Rongyin frowned as he wiped away her tears. "What’s wrong?"

"I..." Chi Yue was about to speak, but thinking of the dream where he walked away without looking back, her tears uncontrollably flowed out.

Fu Rongyin’s brows furrowed even deeper. "What is it? Did you have a nightmare?"

Chi Yue turned over and enveloped him in a hug, crying silently in his arms.

She never understood what it felt like to regain something that was lost, but now, holding Fu Rongyin, it was as if she were holding the entire world.

She never knew that her feelings for him were so deep, and she finally understood why she couldn’t bring herself to hate him, even after he had personally sent her to prison.

At the very least, he had intended to protect her by sending her there, but back then, she was determined to send him to prison without any mercy.

And for so many years after her amnesia, he didn’t come to look for her. Could it be that he harbored some resentment towards her?

Some things can’t withstand careful scrutiny; the moment she pondered them, she would realize she couldn’t accept the truth.

Her face was cupped in his hands, and through her tear-blurred vision, Chi Yue saw a look of helplessness rising on his blurry face.

"Why are you crying, hm?"

Chi Yue tightened her arms around his waist, drawing their bodies closer.

After a long while, she finally said, "I’m sorry..."

She distinctly felt Fu Rongyin stiffen, followed by his laughter.

"What are you apologizing to me for?"

"I... I got your pajamas dirty."

Fu Rongyin: "..."

Chi Yue: "I’m sorry... I won’t treat you like this again."

She wanted to try and accept him, to truly be with him.

But Fu Rongyin said, "You don’t need to apologize. If you really feel sorry for me, then make it up to Mianmian for the guilt you feel towards me. She really needs you."

Chi Yue looked up at him.

Fu Rongyin wiped her face clean and pulled her into his embrace. "Sleep now."

With the sound of steady breathing above her head, Chi Yue lay with her eyes open, completely sleepless.

At the break of dawn, she made an important decision and finally fell asleep.

When she woke up, Fu Rongyin was no longer by her side.

Chi Yue sat up in a panic, opened the door, and seeing father and daughter sitting at the dining table eating, her heart instantly settled down.

After breakfast, Fu Rongyin left for the branch office, and Chi Yue took Fu Mianmian to the mall.

However, just as they were leaving the residential complex, they saw Chi Jianshan lingering by the roadside.

Chi Yue got out of the car and approached him. "Are you looking for me?"

The moment Chi Jianshan saw her, his eyes brightened, then his gaze fell on Fu Mianmian in her arms. "This is..."

Chi Yue: "Fifth Young Master Fu’s child."

Chi Jianshan looked at her, then at the child, and said, "That’s good, that’s good. You two... finally have come together. Yueyue, I’m leaving. These things were locked in the safe by your mother, and now they should be returned to their rightful owner."

Only then did Chi Yue see clearly the box that Chi Jianshan held in his arms, her secret treasure chest for keeping important possessions from her student days.

Chi Yue took it with trembling hands. "Weren’t these things already thrown away?"

Chi Jianshan shook his head. "They weren’t thrown away; your mother hid them. When your personality changed drastically and you suddenly forgot many things, throwing away the things you once cherished, your mother secretly stored them away, thinking to give them back to you when you remembered. But she didn’t live to see that day..."

She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but in his eyes, Chi Yue thought she saw pain and regret, fleeting as it was.
