Chapter 196: Children Grow Up And Move On

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Five years ago, he faced an assassination attempt in the Kingdom of Chengyuan, succumbing to poison and aggravated by old wounds. In an unforeseen turn of events, he became involved with a stranger in an intimate manner.

...

At that time, to evade pursuit, he hurriedly left.

Months later, he returned to the Kingdom of Chengyuan and coincidentally encountered Yuanxi abandoned in a secluded forest.

Learning that his son had been abandoned by that woman, Feng Tianlan harbored immense hatred towards her and immediately ordered a search for her whereabouts.

Both incidents happened around the area of Tianjing City, with the search focused there.

Several years passed, and no useful information about that woman was found.

Taking advantage of being in charge of overseeing the selection competition for the entrance to the Qiankun Academy in the Kingdom of Chengyuan, he personally came to investigate the events of the past.

However, it seemed that all the clues had been deliberately erased, and there was no woman of appropriate age in Tianjing City or its surroundings who fit the description.

He was aware of the news about the unmarried and pregnant Gu family’s first lady.

When she went missing before, his people couldn’t find much useful information.

After discovering Gu Qingluan’s return, he had people investigate more closely.

Upon learning that Gu Qingluan had a son, she was eliminated as a suspect by Feng Tianlan.

Although this woman was ruthless in some ways, she was genuinely good to her son.

From this alone, it could be inferred that she definitely wasn’t the vicious woman who abandoned Yuanxi.

After ruling out Gu Qingluan as a suspect, Feng Tianlan had no other leads, only guessing whether that woman had already died.

It would be best if she had.

If not, when he found her, he would make her suffer!

Feng Tianlan watched as Feng Yuanxi hurriedly walked out and asked in a deep voice, “Where are you going?”

“To bid farewell to Beautiful Sister and Xiaonan!” Feng Yuanxi replied without looking back.

Why didn’t Father inform him that he would be leaving tomorrow?

If Father had informed him, he could have said a proper goodbye to Beautiful Sister.

Just as he stepped down the stairs, he turned back and ran inside.

He had prepared some gifts for Beautiful Sister that he hadn’t given her yet, so he decided to deliver them now.

Feng Tianlan observed his eager behavior and recalled an old saying in his mind —

“Children grow up and move on.”

He didn’t stop him. Instead, he turned to Jing Feng and ordered, “Follow him.” “Yes!” Jing Feng respectfully acknowledged.

Feng Yuanxi rushed into his room and opened a wooden box.

Jing Feng followed him and asked, “Young Master, do you need my help?”

Feng Yuanxi glanced at the contents of the box and immediately closed it, saying casually, “Uncle Jing Feng, could you please move this box onto the carriage?”

Jing Feng replied, then approached the box.

He tried to lift it, but it didn’t budge.

He took a deep breath and said, “Young Master, what’s inside? It’s so heavy!”

Feng Yuanxi said casually, “It’s just a small gift for Beautiful Sister, nothing valuable.”

Jing Feng wondered if it was a stone because of the weight.

However, even if it were a stone, it shouldn’t be this heavy, right?

He took a deep breath, exerted force, and finally lifted the box off the ground.

Feng Yuanxi reminded, “Be careful not to damage it.”

Jing Feng’s forehead was covered in sweat, and he tried to appear more at ease to avoid looking weak in front of the young master. “Rest assured, I will place it in the carriage intact.”

Feng Yuanxi had some trust in Jing Feng, so he turned around and continued searching.

After Jing Feng struggled to place the heavy box onto the carriage, he returned to the room and saw several more boxes stacked at the door.

Jing Feng couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “So many! Are they all for Miss Gu?”

Without knowing, one would think someone was moving houses!

Feng Yuanxi furrowed his brows, saying, “Is it too many? I think it’s too little.”

He still had many more gifts he wanted to buy for Beautiful Sister..
