"He has returned to the Lin Clan." Lu Fengting replied.

"Back to the Lin Family." Lu Zhining's face revealed a relieved smile, "When I get there, mother will be very happy."

At least, she wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

Lu Fengting continued to ask: "I'm going to Tiandu City now, what about you?"

"Me?"

The energy that Lu Zhining had mustered immediately dissipated. He covered his face and said in pain, "I'm not going anymore."

knew that Lu Zhining was blaming himself, blaming himself for not following Xia Yun. Back then, when Xia Yun had told him to leave, he had refused, and he knew how sad Xia Yun had been at that time. Now that things had reached this point, even if he wished to return to Xia Yun's embrace, he would not be able to muster up the courage.

Lu Fengting sighed in his heart.

Right now, he started to suspect if he was right when he told Lu Zhining about the whole thing. No matter how precocious he might be, Lu Zhining was still a six year old child after all.

"Alright."

Lu Fengting did not insist. He knew that all of this required time to be resolved, and even he himself did not know what Xia Yun's reaction would be when she saw him.

"I'm leaving."

Saying that, Lu Fengting turned and prepared to leave: "Qian Feng will be staying, if there's anything, you can look for Qian Feng."

Lu Zhining lowered his head, his bangs covering half of his face: "Will Mommy forgive you?"

Hearing this, Lu Fengting couldn't help but stop his steps, and after a moment, replied in a low voice: "I don't know."

After pausing for a long while, Lu Zhining slowly said: "After meeting mother, help me apologize to her. Just say that Xiao Ning is not a good son, and that I'm sorry to her."

Xia Yun treated him as his biological son, but at the most crucial moment, he chose Lu Fengting. Over the past few months, he could never forget the sad and desperate look in Xia Yun's eyes when she rejected Xia Yun.

Lu Fengting did not say anything, nor did he express his stance.

In the capital.

Lin Family Castle.

After breakfast, Lin Zhi headed straight for the airport. He was going to a neighbouring country to participate in a meeting and ceremony, then strive to fly back before dinner.

After Lin Zhi left, Xia Yun left the castle and began to stroll in the huge courtyard.

It was halfway up the mountain, and the air was clear and refreshing.

"Miss, you have just been discharged from the hospital. It is cold outside, so you shouldn't stay outside for too long." After a while, the Steward Lin reminded him carefully.

"Got it."

Xia Yun laughed, took a deep breath, and exhaled. The hot air from her red lips formed a ball of white mist in the ice-cold environment.

Xia Yun looked at the ball of hot air and smiled slightly. For the first time in a long while, hope appeared in her eyes.

Returning to his room, Steward Lin took out a mobile phone and handed it over to Xia Yun, and said: "Miss, this is the master's order to give you the new phone."

Mobile phone?

Xia Yun shook her head and said: "No need, I can still use the one before."

As she spoke, she pressed the control button on her phone and shook the shiny screen.

Seeing Xia Yun like that, Steward Lin laughed and explained, "Miss, this phone has a location chip, you must use it."

"Location?"

"Right."

The Steward Lin nodded and continued to explain, "Right now, the internal and external problems of the Lin Family are extremely serious, and you are the lord's flesh and blood. In order to prevent any mishaps, you must have this type of mobile phone."

Internal and external troubles...

Xia Yun thought back to what Xiao Jingyan had said before. His father, Lin Zhi, had fought for a very long time before finally climbing to the position of the Lin Clan Master.

In the past, Linley had been left behind because of the internal strife of his clan.

Thinking about this, Xia Yun nodded her head and accepted the phone.

Steward Lin could see the conflict in Xia Yun's heart, and said: "Miss, don't worry, the positioning system will only be used in case of accidents. Don't worry, your privacy will definitely not be a problem."

Xia Yun shook her head, and explained with a bitter smile: "It's alright, Steward Lin, I still understand this point."

If only he had had this phone with him when he was kidnapped. That way, he wouldn't have had to make such a big fuss to save her.

Lu Fengting...

Xia Yun subconsciously recalled the scene where Lu Fengting appeared in front of her in the nick of time.

She shook her head hard and suppressed the image.

He wanted to forget, but why couldn't he?

Xia Yun's mood was a little low.

Perhaps the traces left in his life were too deep, so if he wanted to forget, it would take a long time.

Steward Lin looked at Xia Yun, and seeing her gloomy eyes, he could not help but squint. After a while, he smiled and said: "Miss, you should slowly adapt to the new phone number. Oh right, don't forget to copy the number."

With that, Steward Lin walked out of the bedroom. "Don't take it too long, it's not good for the eyes. Just lie down and rest.

Xia Yun was stunned as she looked at her new phone.

Adaptation?

She was just using it to make a phone call. What did she need to adapt to?

Copy number.

Xia Yun opened her old mobile phone's contact list.

Xiao Jingyan.

These three words were lying alone in the contact list.

Back then, when Xia Yun left, she deleted the contact details of everyone and changed it to a new phone card.

Right, how is Xiao Jingyan now?

Xia Yun suddenly realised the problem. Ever since he left the hospital that day, the two of them had not met.

Xia Yun dialed Xiao Jingyan's number and called.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

Couldn't get through...

Xia Yun was stunned, how could she not get through?

Xiao Family.

In the study.

Xiao Jingyan sat on the simple wooden chair and played with the items in his hands. The Old Man Xiao Family loved to collect antiques and liked these simple and unadorned items.

Over the past few decades, with the Xiao Family becoming more and more powerful, more and more old stuff started to appear in the Xiao Family. There were even rumors saying outside that the Xiao Family Gramps — Xiao Tianya's collection was definitely comparable to a medium-sized museum.

Xiao Fengzhi paced by the side, looking at the calm and collected Xiao Jingyan, he did not hide the contempt and disgust in his eyes.

Xiao Jingyan could naturally feel the dense hostility coming from Xiao Fengzhi's body, but he had long gotten used to it and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it.

The atmosphere in the study room remained silent.

A few minutes later, the door to the study was pushed open, and Xiao Tianya, who had a grizzled beard, walked in. Beside him, there was a charming woman supporting his arm as they walked in together.

This woman was Xiao Tianya's wife, Xiao Fengzhi's mother, Dong Huifang.
