Chapter 790: Mother’s Last Memento

~5 min read 1,000 words

Seeing Bai Hanyun return with a man in a black suit following behind her, Feng Xiyan asked, "Yun’er, who is he?"

"This is Zu Wu. He is my father’s assistant," Bai Hanyun casually introduced Zu Wu to Feng Xiyan and the others before asking, "How is my father?"

"He is still sleeping," Hua Yuyu replied and added, "It might take at least a few hours before he wakes up."

Hearing this, Zu Wu almost tripped over the flat floor. Following Bai Hanyun’s gaze, he looked toward the couch and found his usually cold and ruthless boss sleeping soundly like a baby.

Swallowing hard, he could not help doubting his own eyes.

’No... Is this still my cold and ruthless Boss?’

Unaware that Zu Wu’s brain had nearly collapsed after seeing Pei Jianyuan sleeping peacefully on the couch, Bai Hanyun looked at him and said, "Assistant Zu, can you please bring my father back first? When he wakes up later, please tell him that I never blamed him."

After saying that, Bai Hanyun took out a small box from her pocket, which had actually been taken out from her spatial ring, and handed it to Zu Wu.

"Also, please give this to him."

Zu Wu accepted the small box before asking curiously, "Eldest Young Lady, may I ask what is inside this box?"

Bai Hanyun looked at the small box before calmly replying, "When I was six years old, the orphanage director gave this to me and told me that when the police found my mother and me on the street, my mother was holding this tightly in her palm."

"They had to use a lot of effort before they could successfully remove it from her clenched hand and send her to the hospital."

"The police said that this item must have been very important to my mother and told the orphanage director to hand it over to me."

Thinking back to how greedy the orphanage director had been, Bai Hanyun was truly grateful to the police. If not for them, this last memento from her mother might have been lost long ago.

Looking at her solemn expression, Zu Wu understood the importance of the item and said, "Alright. I will make sure to hand this over to CEO Pei."

Receiving his promise, Bai Hanyun smiled. "Great. Now, let’s move my father to the car so you can take him back to rest."

"Yes, Eldest Young Lady."

With Feng Xiyan’s and Hua Yuyu’s help, they carried Pei Jianyuan to the car.

After closing the car’s back door, Zu Wu looked at Bai Hanyun and said, "Eldest Young Lady, I will contact you when CEO Pei wakes up later."

"Got it."

Zu Wu then nodded to Feng Xiyan and the others before getting into the car.

Watching the car disappear into the crowded street, Bai Hanyun let out a long sigh of relief.

Standing beside her, Feng Xiyan wrapped an arm around her waist and asked with a hint of worry in his voice, "Yun’er, are you alright?"

Bai Hanyun smiled at him and nodded. "Xiyan, I finally have a father."

Looking at her slightly reddened eyes, Feng Xiyan lowered his head to kiss her forehead and whispered, "Mhm. Your father will love you just as much as I love you."

Seeing the two of them whispering softly to each other, Ouyang Zhuangyu tactfully pulled his clueless brothers back into the antique store, leaving the lovers alone outside.

After that day, Bai Hanyun and Feng Xiyan became so busy that they barely had time to breathe. Since the grand opening of Bai Feng Antique Store, more and more customers have been visiting the store every day.

Seeing that Bai Hanyun was so busy that they barely had time to talk, Feng Xiyan finally called Hu Chaoyang.

Receiving the call, Hu Chaoyang raised his brows slightly before picking it up. "Hello? Brother-in-law, it’s rare for you to call me."

"Brother Chaoyang, can you find some people to help manage the Bai Feng Antique Store?" Feng Xiyan asked without wasting any words.

Hu Chaoyang had already learned about the soaring popularity of Bai Feng Antique Store since its grand opening and immediately understood the reason behind Feng Xiyan’s request.

Smiling slightly, he sighed and said, "You really are husband material."

Not understanding what he meant, Feng Xiyan asked, "Brother Chaoyang, what do you mean by that?"

"It’s nothing," Hu Chaoyang quickly replied before adding, "I will let Zuquan handle this matter. It might take a few days to find suitable candidates to manage the store."

"Alright. Please hurry up. I’m afraid Yun’er will get sick if she keeps working like this."

Noticing the worry in his voice, Hu Chaoyang’s expression turned serious. "Don’t worry. I will tell Zuquan to move quickly."

"Thank you, Brother Chaoyang."

"No problem."

Two days later, a professional team took over the management of Bai Feng Antique Store.

Sitting on the couch, Bai Hanyun watched as the new workers professionally served customers before glancing at Feng Xiyan.

"Tell me. When did you call Elder Brother Chaoyang?" she asked probingly.

"Two days ago," Feng Xiyan replied while playing with her slender white fingers.

Looking at his calm face, Bai Hanyun rolled her eyes and muttered, "You worry too much."

Hearing this, Feng Xiyan’s fingers stopped rubbing Bai Hanyun’s palm. After a brief moment of silence, he pouted and said, "You have lost weight."

Looking down at her still-fleshy palm, Bai Hanyun could not help rolling her eyes at him. "Nonsense."

With the professional team taking over the antique store, Bai Hanyun now had more than enough time to help Feng Xiyan prepare additional supplies for the city construction project and the imperial palace’s construction project.

One week later, Feng Xiyan knocked on Bai Hanyun’s bedroom door early in the morning.

Knock, knock, knock.

Woken up by the knocking sound, Bai Hanyun slowly opened her eyes and hoarsely said, "Come in."

Receiving her permission, Feng Xiyan opened the door and walked in.
