Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the mayor, didn’t his big brother want to find his sister? He did, but he did not continue the search.

Old Master Ji also doted on his daughter, but he gave up in the end. Only Ji Lingchen persisted, and swore that he would never marry. He did not want his family to hold him back and stop him from finding his sister.

Then, Fang Xiaonuan’s intrusion brought a ray of light into his life, melting his frozen heart after fifteen years. Since he had fallen in love with her, he could only try his best to balance his family and his search for her.

Hearing Ji Lingchen’s words, Mayor Ji also shed some tears. The three pairs of eyes in the room were red.

Ji Lingchen quickly swallowed his grief. He said to the two of them, “In a few days, I’m going to go look for her. While I’m not here, please take care of Xiaonuan. Don’t let her do anything dangerous. If she doesn’t listen to you, give me a call.”

He was constantly worried about his kitten. Whenever he left, he did not feel at ease. That was why he had to ask this of his family.

Mayor Ji nodded and agreed to his brother’s request.

Old Master Ji asked, “Where are you going?”

“A total of three provinces and ten cities. I’m checking all of them,” Ji Lingchen said.

The three of them sat quietly for a long time before they got up and left.

Ji Lingchen also returned to the bedroom. When he saw the soft and cuddly little woman on the bed, his heart softened as well. He felt close to her and she gave him warmth.

He returned to his side of the bed, took the pillow away, and placed his arm under the girl’s head.

Fang Xiaonuan slept very soundly. She did not even know that she had been kissed. She dreamt that there was a huge piece of jelly at the side of her mouth. Without thinking, she pounced on it and took a bite. “Mmm… So delicious.”

Ji Lingchen, who had been bitten, said, “What are you eating in your dream? You just bit your husband’s mouth.”

Fang Xiaonuan mumbled in a daze, “Hubby, mmm, delicious, hubby.”

Ji Lingchen could not help but laugh. “So, in your dream, you’re eating me.”

Ji Lingchen turned off the wall lamp and tucked his wife under the blanket. He hugged the soft and sweet-smelling woman to sleep.

Mayor Ji did not return to the bedroom. Instead, he returned to his father’s room. “Dad, I know that you must be hiding something from Lingchen. Please tell me the truth. Do you know where Xiaoyu Is?”

Old Master Ji’s tears immediately ran down his face. He could not even wipe them away. Mayor Ji understood his father. He did not give up easily. However, why did his father give up on searching for Xiaoyu?

“Where is Xiaoyu?” Mayor Ji asked.

Old Master Ji was sobbing uncontrollably. After a long while, he said, “Xiaoyu is with your mother.”

Tears immediately welled up in Mayor Ji’s eyes. “Father! Don’t talk nonsense!” He could not accept this answer.

Old Master Ji wiped away his tears and asked his son, “Son, how long have you been an official?”

Mayor Ji thought for a moment. “More than 25 years.”

Old Master Ji asked again, “Is it too much to say that Lingchen’s wealth is comparable to that of a country?”

Mayor Ji fell silent.

His younger brother’s annual tax payment was comparable to the annual income of many countries. It would not be a stretch to say that his wealth was comparable to that of a country.

“So, you have power, and your brother is wealthy. Does our family have no connections? How come we haven’t found any clues after so many years?”

Old Master Ji’s words made Mayor Ji realize something. He was already middle-aged and rarely had any emotional outbursts. However, right now, he was crying in front of his father like a child.

“When did you find out?” Mayor Ji asked.

Old Master Ji said in pain, “Your mother did not fall seriously ill because your sister was missing. She fell ill because she saw Xiaoyu’s body. She couldn’t take it and passed away the next day.”

“Your mother just died. How could I tell you and Lingchen about Xiaoyu?” After saying that, Old Master Ji’s tears flowed uncontrollably.

“During that time, you didn’t sleep for a few days and looked everywhere for Xiaoyu everywhere. Lingchen was also about to collapse. I was afraid that if I told you the truth, you wouldn’t be able to accept it.”

At that time, the Ji family’s eldest son already had a family, so it was slightly better. However, their youngest son seemed to have gone crazy. He was afraid that his youngest son would not be able to accept what happened, and that he might do something stupid. His wife had died because she had lost hope and her will to live.

Therefore, Old Master Ji did not even dare to hold his daughter’s funeral. This was for the sake of his sons. On the day his daughter was buried, only he and the butler were present. That day, he sat by his wife and daughter’s tombstones for the entire day and the night that followed.
