"How long do you plan on watching?" Chi Yue asked.

Fu Rongyin didn’t answer, but instead asked, "Are you hungry?"

Chi Yue: "..."

"I’ve prepared some food for you, come down and have a bite."

Chi Yue always felt that Fu Rongyin had an ulterior motive, but then she thought that he never hid his intentions, so there wasn’t much to pick at.

The table was laid out with foods that Chi Yue liked to eat, some of which he also liked.

Chi Yue was indeed hungry and simply sat down to enjoy a hearty meal.

Midway through eating, she noticed that Fu Rongyin was constantly watching her. Chi Yue looked at him puzzled, "Aren’t you eating?"

"Not hungry."

Chi Yue put down her utensils and wiped her hands.

Fu Rongyin: "What’s wrong?"

"I’m full."

She stood up, "Mianmian is asleep, so I’ll head back first."

Suddenly remembering something, Chi Yue stopped and said to him, "I know you don’t like hearing this, but I still hope you’ll reconsider the surgery. If Mianmian didn’t have you, what do you think would happen to her?"

"Don’t you still have her?"

"Just by myself, I can’t give her a father’s love."

Fu Rongyin had been a father for a long time, but those words coming from Chi Yue struck him with an unprecedented shock.

Soon, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Hasn’t she gotten by all these years without a mother’s love as well?"

"Fu Rongyin," Chi Yue’s voice was displeased. "Why are you still so stubborn? You know those two things can’t be compared at all."

"Why can’t they be compared? If you’re not planning to acknowledge her, won’t she continue to miss out on a mother’s love?"

Chi Yue choked, unable to respond immediately.

After a long moment, she said, "Do you have to talk to me like this?"

"How do you want me to talk to you?"

"Every time I ask you to consider carefully, you bring up Mianmian, then bring up my issues. What exactly do you want from me?"

After hearing this, Fu Rongyin considered it seriously for a moment and said, "I don’t have any special requests, just hope that you take good care of her."

Chi Yue’s frown deepened, "You still don’t want to have the surgery!"

"Go back then, or stay if you want. Choose any room you like."

Chi Yue couldn’t understand how Fu Rongyin had become this way, and she had a premonition that he was now certain she remembered everything, which is why he was treating her with such an attitude.

Thinking this, Chi Yue left without looking back.

During the weekend, Chi Yue was at home with Nan Baixuan and Fu Mianmian playing in the backyard when Nan Bingyu came over in a flurry.

"Yueyue, Lu Cheng has arrived."

Chi Yue was stunned, "Why has he come?"

"I don’t know, he came with Lu Nanxi, and they both... you better go see," Nan Bingyu said.

Chi Yue asked Nan Bingyu to watch the children and went alone to the front yard.

The moment she saw them, she was completely stunned, because of the way they were dressed.

Lu Nanxi’s eyes were red and swollen, still dabbing at her tears with a tissue.

Lu Cheng looked slightly better, but he too seemed exhausted, not looking particularly good.

"Chi Yue, come with us for a bit, it’s the first and last time," Lu Cheng said.

Chi Yue hesitated between going and staying, but then saw Lu Cheng glance towards her back.

Before Chi Yue could turn around, a hand rested on her shoulder, "I’ll accompany her."

That moment, Chi Yue clearly saw the shock in Lu Nanxi’s eyes, but she said nothing.

Chi Yue and Fu Rongyin appeared together at the funeral, causing neither a great stir nor suspicion.

Fu Rongyin had collaborations with the Lu Family and now that Lu Xuhui had passed away, it was logical for him to bring a female companion.

Chi Yue remained expressionless throughout the entire ceremony, and when it was time to leave, Fu Rongyin was about to take her away when Lu Cheng blocked their path.
