Chapter 622: Chapter 312 Searching for Past Memories_1

Qian Manjiang was beside himself with desperation and called out with even deeper affection, "Yueyue, there’s still me, your Brother Jiang."

Pan Yue felt even more embarrassed and, ignoring Qian Manjiang, stood up to address Qian Sangui and his wife, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please take your seats."

Even if Pan Yue could not remember those past events, through the scenes in her dreams and Qian Yixiu’s narrations, she knew that these elderly people had saved her and taken her in, treating her as their own kin. Even many biological parents might not do better than them—for example, her own father. She felt a deep sense of gratitude towards them in her heart.

Only after Qian Sangui and Lady Wu took their seats on the luohan bed did she sit down with Mingming and Jingjing on the round-back chairs next to them.

Qian Manjiang grew even more anxious and moved to sit by her side, hurt, he said, "Yueyue, you remember everyone else, but have you truly forgotten me?"

Pan Yue twisted her body away, using her back to face him, her cheeks red as begonia flowers under the spring sun.

Qian Yixiu shook her head; it was indeed the one who is involved who is confused. Father Jiang, so astute in other matters, failed to see that his wife was feeling shy now. She moved closer to Qian Manjiang and whispered, "Dad, mother is feeling shy; you need to give her some time to adjust."

"Yueyue is feeling shy?" Qian Manjiang was surprised, before realizing that, indeed, the former Yueyue did not know how to feel shy because she had lost her memory. Now that her health was restored, she would possess the sense of shame that a normal person should have. But it was different between them; they were a loving couple. He then spoke to Pan Yue’s back, "Yueyue, we already have three children together, we are an old married couple, there’s, there’s nothing to be shy about..."

Although Pan Yue knew that what Qian Manjiang was saying was true, she still felt so embarrassed that she pouted and protested, "Hey, what are you rambling about?"

Qian Yixiu tried to calm Qian Manjiang again, "Dad, don’t be anxious now, mother hasn’t really remembered everything yet."

Upon hearing this, Qian Manjiang grudgingly fell silent.

Qian Yixiu then discussed with them, "Actually, my mother hasn’t remembered the events that occurred after her amnesia, she merely believes that the events in her ’dreams’ did occur. Mother and I discussed it; she wants to stay in Guiyuan in Huaxi Village for a while, which might help her retrieve some of her lost memories."

Pan Yue added, "It’s not just about retrieving the memories; I like it there. Every time I think of that courtyard from my dreams, my chest fills with warmth and gratitude. We’ve decided that in a few days we will set out, taking Mingming and Jingjing with us. If father-in-law and mother-in-law wish, we can go back together."

Qian Manjiang quickly said, "And me? I’ll ask for a few months of extended leave to accompany you back."

Qian Sigui said, "A few months of extended leave, will the Emperor approve? You’re a fourth rank officer now, you should consider your future."

Qian Manjiang replied, "Don’t worry, dad. With the Empress Dowager backing the request, the Emperor will certainly approve." He glanced again at Pan Yue, his eyes reddening, and said, "For the sake of my career, I owe Yueyue a lot. Right after we got married, I was dispatched to the frontier, and I was gone for eleven years. We’ve been married for fifteen years, but the time spent together amounts to barely a year. Yueyue spent her best years waiting. The barren land before Guiyuan stands witness to her devotion. Waiting eleven years for someone is easy to say but impossibly hard to do." By the end of his speech, his voice was choked with emotion. He then firmly stated, "I promised Yueyue that we would never part again, that we would always be together forever. So, wherever she is, that’s where I’ll be."

Influenced by Pan Yue, Qian Manjiang was also straightforward in expressing his love.

Moved to tears, Pan Yue could not care about her shyness anymore and turned around, her voice breaking, "Yes, that’s right, in my dreams, the one thing I wanted to hear the most was exactly that—’forever together, never apart.’"

Looking at the young couple, Qian Sangui could not bear to separate them again. He said, "Since that’s the case, let’s all go back together. I, too, miss home and want to have a look."

Lady Wu also happily added, "That’s wonderful, I miss our hometown too."

The conversation then turned to planning their trip, deciding what to take back with them.

Unable to hold back, Qian Yixiu poured cold water on the idea, "If dad goes back, it’s not necessarily the case that Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma can make it back. Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma are still in the Capital City, and even if Great-Grandma would like to go back with us, would Great-Grandpa agree? He hasn’t had his fill of Capital City yet; he didn’t even want to go to Plum Court to escape the summer heat last time. He said if he couldn’t go to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to storytelling, he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep at all."
