Chu Feng was toying with a jade hairpin in his hand. It had an intricate carving of a peach blossom on it. "This is the only item she left for me. It was her favorite piece of jewelry, and she wore it every day."
"She was gone for about twenty years, or nineteen years, seven months and three days, to be exact. I really miss her…."
Sisi could not stop weeping. Her beautiful eyes were glistening with tears, gazing at Chu Feng. She could not imagine the man in front of her was hiding such a sad and moving story.
How strong and determined was this man to carry the burden of the past while moving forward?
"I'm sorry, Chu Feng. I shouldn't have blabbered and reminded you of these horrible pasts."
"No worries. They are in the past."
Chu Feng smiled and kept the peach blossom jade hairpin carefully. "After all, we have to move on for our sake, haven't we?" he said.
"Yes, we should live for our sake!" Sisi smiled as she wiped off her tears. She felt like a burden was lifted, and her shoulders were lighter.
Sisi rested her head on Chu Feng's shoulder unknowingly. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the peace brought from the muscular chest of this man.
Ring…
At that moment, the phone rang. When Sisi picked up the phone, the urgency from Fu Nanhua's voice could be heard.
"Sisi, you have to come back to the Tang residence. Your father just had a heart attack. He is still unconscious and in critical condition. The doctors are trying to save his life."
"What? Grandpa, why would this happen?" Sisi did not know what to do. She wanted to cry. Even though she was bullied and ignored by other members of the Tang family, Tang Weiguo still loved her the most and treated her like a princess.
"Don't panic!" Chu Feng held Sisi's cold hand tightly. Then, he took over the phone, "Mr. Fu, this is Chu Feng. I'll bring Sisi back to the Tang residence. You should make necessary arrangements quickly."
"Great! With your help, I'm more confident."
Chu Feng did not stop a bit after hanging up. "Let's go home," said Chu Feng as he grabbed Sisi's hand and left.
