Chapter 1473: Lunar New Year’s Eve

Mo Yu suddenly turned around, the corner of his moon-white robe gently sweeping past Mo Si Huang.

Mo Si Huang gave him a cold glance, turned around, and went back to his room.

He joined the entertainment industry against Mo Yu’s objections, simply for the remaining glimmer of hope that he might find his family.

This master Mo Yu always kept Sheng Lanqing at the most important place in his heart, followed by Su Li, and then possibly his disciples.

Su Li... Su Li...

Mo Si Huang took out that blue diamond ring from the box he carried, his expression gradually becoming complex. After a long thirty-second silence, his fingers gently trembled, and he slid the Heart of the Ocean diamond ring onto his left index finger.

The cool touch perfectly fit. Under the sunlight, it sparkled with a dazzling brightness, evidently crafted with painstaking effort by its maker.

This Heart of the Ocean ring wasn’t actually heavy, but on his finger, it suddenly felt weighty, heavy enough that he couldn’t lift his hand.

Su Li...

He softly touched the black necklace around his neck, his lips pursing slightly.

Having tasted the flavor of freedom, how could he let go? It was something within everyone’s reach, yet he had to exhaust everything to obtain it.

Some things, once done, there’s no turning back...

New Year’s Eve

Su Li rose early, watching the sunlight outside penetrate through the misty layer, warm and gentle.

Upon descending the stairs, she saw Feng Yi tugging on Ning Yan’s sleeve, saying something. Su Li smiled and said, "Happy New Year."

Ning Yan looked a bit uneasy, awkwardly replying, "Thank you, Happy New Year to you too."

Feng Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Why doesn’t Uncle Ning wish me Happy New Year?"

Ning Yan didn’t respond, following Su Li to the kitchen.

Today’s New Year’s Eve sunshine was exceptionally good; the winter sun boosted everyone’s mood even more.

As time marched towards noon, people began arriving at the Feng Family intermittently.

Feng Ciye arrived early, seeing Feng Yi, raising his eyebrows with interest, and patted her head, saying, "Niece, you’ve grown so much?"

Later, grandparents, Uncle Mo Yu, and Xu Haohao also arrived.

Only Su Li was momentarily stunned to see Mo Si Huang still wearing the Heart of the Ocean ring she had given him.

The fifth elder brother, Rong Chu, was an internationally renowned chef, responsible for this New Year’s Eve dinner, and everything was harmonious.

This was unlike the past New Year’s Eves at the Feng Family in An City, where everyone would take every chance to nitpick.

Feng Yi loved the New Year most, as the elders loved giving her lucky money, which this year was no exception.

Aside from her biological father, the biggest red envelope was from the fourth uncle, who was particularly generous to nieces and nephews, even gifting her and her mom each two bottles of perfume.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle, this perfume isn’t available on the market, right? It smells wonderful!" Feng Yi praised.

The grandparents at the head table suddenly looked up, suspiciously eyeing Feng Yi: "Child... What are you calling the fourth?"

Su Li glanced at Feng Huaijin, gave a dry laugh.

This matter was too shocking; they dared not tell the two old folks that Feng Yi was actually their biological daughter, carrying their flesh and blood.

The elders thought she was a secret sister...

Feng Ciye held his chopsticks, smiling slightly, "This child calls Ning Yan uncle, so calling me fourth uncle is rather amusing."

Feng Yi received each elder’s New Year gifts, quietly kept her mouth shut, and ate without daring to speak much.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Feng Yi grabbed Ning Yan and headed towards the third floor.
