Chapter 493 - Mrs. Jing Disappeared

Xiao Rong Yao patted Song Qiao's hands to comfort her but he only looked at her briefly before he turned to look at Shen Feng Xing.

For a moment, Shen Feng Xing couldn't comprehend the emotions that Xiao Rong Yao's eyes were showing. Hence, he could only look at Xiao Rong Yao while he waited for him to speak.

"We have even more important people to thank as well…" Xiao Rong Yao's face was filled with worries.

"Old Xiao?" Song Qiao looked at Xiao Rong Yao in confusion as she couldn't understand what he was talking about.

Shen Feng Xing and Shen Yu Rou were both stunned by Xiao Rong Yao's words as well.

Xiao Rong Yao then spoke while he continued to maintain eye contact with Shen Feng Xing, "I heard and remember whatever you told me while I was still in a coma."

Shen Feng Xing's eyes went wide, "Grandfather…"

"Come here." Xiao Rong Yao smiled gently as he held his hand out to Shen Feng Xing.

Shen Feng Xing took Xiao Rong Yao's hand quickly and Xiao Rong Yao then patted Shen Feng Xing's hand, "My grandson…"

Xiao Rong Yao's hands trembled because of the happiness of finding out that he still had a paternal grandson in this world and being able to hold him the moment he woke up. He was even more thrilled that it wasn't a dream but a reality.

"Grandfather…" Shen Feng Xing's eyes went red from all the overwhelming emotions.

"It's been tough on you guys…"

Xiao Rong Yao didn't want to break the bubble as he knew that if he asked Shen Feng Xing about Mo Xi, Song Qiao would know about it. Hence, although he really wanted to know about whatever that was going on and had happened, he kept quiet.

Shen Feng Xing was very thankful that Xiao Rong Yao didn't ask him about it even though he knew that he must be worried as well.

Shen Yu Rou and Song Qiao thought that Xiao Rong Yao was just feeling emotional as he had just woken up. Hence, they kept quiet so as to not interrupt them.

Meanwhile, Xiao Rong Yao continued to pat Shen Feng Xing's hand for a long while before he spoke again.

"Yu Rou, thank you for taking care of grandfather all this while…"

Shen Yu Rou walked forward and took Xiao Rong Yao's hands from Shen Feng Xing, "No. It isn't tough at all. As long as you are well now, everything that I did is worth it. All that we wish for is for you and grandmother to be healthy and safe."

"Next time don't keep everything to yourself, alright? No matter what happens, we will always be your grandparents. So, you don't have to bottle everything up in your heart," Xiao Rong Yao then patted Shen Yu Rou's head.

Shen Yu Rou looked up in surprise and when she recalled what Xiao Rong Yao said earlier on, she then spoke with a trembling voice.

"Grandfather… You… you know that I am… I am not your biological granddaughter?"

"Your grandmother and I both knew about this for a long time already, but it doesn't matter because, in our hearts, you are still our granddaughter," Xiao Rong Yao smiled.

Shen Yu Rou was stunned she then looked at Song Qiao and Song Qiao smiled and nodded.

Shen Yu Rou cried out when she saw their smiles, "I thought you guys wouldn't want me if I am not your biological granddaughter…"

"Silly… We are the ones that brought you up, and we saw you since you were a baby, so in our hearts, you will always be our granddaughter just like Feng Xing. Besides, why would we abandon such an adorable and kind-hearted granddaughter?" Song Qiao then spoke as she gently stroked Shen Yu Rou's head as well.

"Thank you, grandmother… Thank you, grandfather…" Shen Yu Rou continued to cry in their embrace while Shen Feng Xing smiled as he looked at them.

Meanwhile, at the military hospital.

"General Jing! Mrs. Jing disappeared!" The attending doctor called Jing Mo Chen in a hurry when he realized that Shen Yu Ning had disappeared.

Shen Yu Ning's bed was empty and the room was in a mess. The window was left wide opened and the wind was blowing in.

"What?! Where did she go?!" Jing Mo Chen asked in a hurry as he thought that the doctor was saying that Mo Xi had disappeared instead of Shen Yu Ning.

"We don't know. We went into her wardroom this morning and found that she wasn't on her bed. The window is wide open so she must have escaped from the window. However, we searched high and low for her and we couldn't find her!"

Jing Mo Chen finally realized that the attending doctor was talking about Shen Yu Ning and his expression turned serious, "Why did you only tell me about this now?!"

"We are very sorry! We thought that we could find her very quickly as there are so many people in the military hospital, so there was no way that she could have ran away…"

"Continue to search for her!" Jing Mo Chen exclaimed before he ended the call and made his way to the military hospital.

Jing Mo Chen then quickly sent Mo Xi a message to tell her about the matter.

Over the week, Shen Yu Ning continued to stay hidden and no matter how hard the military searched for her, they couldn't find her. Jing Mo Chen and the others also purposely went around their business circle to ask if anyone had seen 'Mo Xi'. Of course, those people that they asked were people that they knew would betray them because they wanted those people to help spread the news.

Meanwhile, just as Jing Mo Chen had predicted, Poker didn't attempt to do anything to Mo Xi for a week. However, Mo Xi continued to go out as per usual so that Poker wouldn't suspect her.
