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.

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.
"Mmm."
Sisi nodded. The warmth from the hands made her feel safe.
This man had a mysterious power to support her into the unknown future.
Chu Feng drove his car fast. As a result, it only took half an hour to reach the destination instead of the usual two-hour car ride.
Sunset Manor was a classic villa area located on a scenic mountain. There were only about twenty villas in the area with a rustic aesthetic, which differed from other modern luxurious villas.
Sunset Manor was also a reputable residential area for everyone in Jiangling, especially for the nouveau riche, who dreamed of residing in Sunset Manor for retirement.
That was because everyone who resided in Sunset Manor was among the first generation of the ruling elites of Jiangling. Many of them were still highly influential, albeit in their old age.
Five minutes later, Chu Feng and Sisi arrived at the best location of Sunset Manor, halfway up the hill. The Tang family ancestral house was the largest villa in the area.
It was a magnificent villa in the style of Suzhou garden, with pavilions and brick buildings with black tiles surrounded by a thick bamboo forest. It was scenic.
Several men in uniform stood guard in front of the villa with weapons, revealing the owner's status.
"Quick, Chu Feng. Let's get in."
Sisi was worried about her father's condition. She gave a quick nod to the guards before rushing into the garden with Chu Feng.
The garden was huge. It took a few turns before reaching the small garden where Tang Weiguo usually resided.
"Dad! Dad! How are you doing?" shouted Sisi in worry as she rushed through the door. Her eyes were flooded with tears.
There were about eight men and women from the Tang family who dressed luxuriously gathered in the room. The atmosphere was tense and depressing.
Chu Feng looked around the room. A group of doctors in white gowns worked hard to rescue the patient with different instruments.
The patient was Tang Weiguo, the famous two-star major general and the founder of the Tang family's ten billion property.
