Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355: Mom, I am Yufei

"Mm, let’s keep today’s events under wraps; don’t let word get out."

"I understand."

"It’s really a pity we missed Yufei’s wedding."

Two people were still seated in the living room: a handsome middle-aged man in a blue double-breasted uniform and a middle-aged woman with an expressionless face and delicate features.

They were extremely well-maintained—around fifty—but appeared to be not even forty.

The one speaking was the man in the blue uniform, Nangong Xu.

Wenxiang said indifferently, "You can’t blame yourselves for that; it was I who decided to move the date up last minute. How was your trip to the Maldives?"

Nangong Xu glanced at Nangong Ruyue beside him and nodded with a smile, "It was very nice. You can tell from how much better Ruyue’s spirits are."

Wenxiang looked towards Nangong Ruyue; indeed, her complexion had improved significantly.

He smiled with satisfaction, "You’ve just returned. After you’ve met Yufei, go and rest."

"Okay."

"BOSS, Miss Yufei and Young Master Qi have arrived," the servant announced. No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jian Yufei came in, arm in arm with Qi Ruisen.

The otherwise expressionless and distant Nangong Ruyue finally showed a ripple in her gaze.

She turned her head slowly towards Jian Yufei, and in that instant, Jian Yufei also caught sight of her.

The two shared similar features, only one was marked by the wear of time, bearing traces of frost.

The other was young and vibrant, like a blossoming, radiant flower.

They stared dumbly at each other, a sense of kinship born of blood stirring a familiar fondness in them, compelling tears to their eyes.

Jian Yufei let go of Qi Ruisen’s arm, drawn irresistibly toward Nangong Ruyue...

Nangong Ruyue’s slender frame trembled, and she also rose to her feet, stepping towards her.

Unable to suppress her excitement, Jian Yufei lunged forward and seized Nangong Ruyue’s arm.

"Mother—" she cried out, the name she’d long held silently in her heart.

Nangong Ruyue’s body shook, and tears abruptly moistened her cheeks.

Jian Yufei wept bitterly, like a homeless child who had finally found her mother.

"Mother, mother..."

"Uuuh..." Nangong Ruyue, unable to speak, sobbed and raised her trembling hand to caress Jian Yufei’s face.

Jian Yufei caught her hand, choking up, "I finally found you, mother. I finally see you!"

"Uuuh..." Nangong Ruyue embraced her tightly, and Jian Yufei clung to her in return, crying unabashedly as they freely expressed their inner sorrow.

After some time, Jian Yufei released her mother, looking at her and saying, "Mother, I am Yufei."

Nangong Ruyue nodded; she stared intently at her daughter, knowing her name.

Yufei, a name her father had chosen for her even before she was born.

Jian Yufei knew her mother couldn’t speak; she eyed her lips and asked sorrowfully, "Mom, is it true you can’t speak?"

Nangong Ruyue shook her head, giving her a smile tinged with sadness.

Though it was just a slight smile, it revealed her still-beautiful countenance.

That smile, like an orchid, was modest, gentle, yet pristine and lovely.

The few men in the living room were stunned by her smile.

It had been over twenty years since Nangong Ruyue had last smiled...

Wenxiang suddenly cast his eyes down, concealing the complex emotions in them.

Nangong Xu stood up, laughing heartily, "Yufei is indeed your mother’s lucky star; she smiled as soon as you came."
