Chapter 764: Chapter 762 Finally Got News of Her_1

The following begins the story of Lu Yichuan and Cheng Youyou, a short novella spanning tens of thousands of words. (Rest assured, this story has already concluded.)

Upon returning home, Lu Yichuan noticed his little sister with rosy cheeks and eyes brimming with affection, like the gentle breeze of spring, and guessed, "You went out to play with that boy Jiang Qingchen again?"

"Yeah." Muxia walked over bashfully, then curiously asked, "Bro, I’ve been telling you all about my private life, so wouldn’t it be fair for you to share something about yours?"

As the saying goes, it is only polite to reciprocate!

Lu Yichuan stuffed a peeled orange into her mouth, huffing discontentedly: "Are you sure you’re the one who told me? Or did I figure it out myself with my own wisdom?"

Talking about fairness!

Fairness my ass!

"Hehe, it’s more or less the same either way," Muxia giggled guiltily as she chewed the orange.

Lu Yichuan faced her with a serene expression, sighed lightly in response to her question, "I don’t have a girlfriend, and I’m not planning on dating anyone right now."

Upon hearing this, Muxia seemed to understand something, quickly swallowing the orange and asked curiously, "You still can’t get over her? The girl you met back in kindergarten?"

The embarrassing stories from Lu Yichuan’s childhood had long been told by Xia Ningxing countless times, so she was very familiar with them.

"Hmm..." Lu Yichuan stopped peeling the orange, looked up at her, and nodded solemnly.

She had become an obsession for him.

Naturally, he couldn’t let go.

Muxia frowned slightly, surprised at his perseverance: "What if you can’t find her?"

She feared that this might be the eventual outcome.

After all, someone who had disappeared for so many years and, not to be morbid, might very well no longer be of this world.

Or, perhaps the other party had long forgotten him.

Lu Yichuan had considered all these possibilities, but he couldn’t accept it: "I don’t know, maybe I’ll just keep looking."

Seeing the gloom on his face, Muxia dropped the subject.

Waiting and searching are probably the most painful things in this world, besides sickness and death.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five years passed.

Lu Yichuan had graduated from college.

He and Jiang Qingchen attended Star Shine’s top-notch university—Capital University, becoming alumni of Xia Ningxing and her colleagues.

Yet, he still hadn’t found any clues about Cheng Youyou.

There were others with the same name, but none of them turned out to be the person he was truly looking for.

"Yichuan, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

On the day of his college graduation, Muxia pulled Lu Yichuan aside and spoke earnestly.

Lu Yichuan, now grown from the little creature bullied by Lu Tingli into someone even taller than his father, made Xia Ningxing have to look up with effort.

Lu Yichuan bowed his head, meeting her gaze: "What is it, Mom?"

"Son, you’ve grown up now, so I’m handing over both your dad’s and my company to you. Your dad and I are going to travel the world," Xia Ningxing said, pulling out a contract.

Time is always extra gentle to the beautiful, and although she was clearly in her forties or fifties, her skin remained tight, her eyes luminous.

She might not look like an eighteen-year-old girl full of youth, but standing beside Lu Yichuan, one might mistake her for a sister just a few years his senior.

It was absolutely impossible to imagine this "young" lady as his mother!

Lu Yichuan thought it was something serious, and was momentarily speechless: "..."

"I don’t want it," he refused.

He had finally finished his studies, and was just about to focus on his search, but now they expected him to look after the company.

Xia Ningxing frowned and sighed as if she was speaking to a child, "That won’t do, all this has already been transferred to your name. Whether you want it or not, you have to take it. You surely can’t just watch the company go bankrupt."

Lu Yichuan choked: "...You’re putting the cart before the horse!"

Xia Ningxing spread her hands as if she had no other choice: "I don’t want this either, but your dad is the one who did this. If you have to blame someone, blame him."

Lu Yichuan: "..."

He didn’t believe for a second that his astute mother was unaware of the situation; it was just that she knew he wouldn’t dare cross Lu Tingli.

Perhaps because he had been scolded too much as a child, Lu Yichuan wasn’t afraid of anyone except for his father, Lu Tingli.

So...

"Fine, you guys go and have fun. I’ll just inherit the company," he sighed helplessly and resigned himself to his fate.

He had originally planned to look for Youyou everywhere, but now it seemed he would be preoccupied.

They say no one knows a son better than his mother, and Xia Ningxing was acutely aware of what was on her son’s mind. She kindly reminded him, "Son, taking over the company won’t hinder your search. On the contrary, you’ll have access to more connections and power, making it even easier for you to find people."

Lu Yichuan was taken aback: "Yeah, why didn’t I think of that."

"That’s the old saying, ’the onlooker sees clearer!’" Xia Ningxing explained his confusion with a sigh and continued, "Alright, I won’t talk any longer. Your father and I have tickets for tomorrow’s flight."

Lu Yichuan stepped forward and gently hugged her: "Mom, I hope you have a smooth journey."

A man’s chest is broad and warm, no longer bearing the immaturity of a young boy.

Xia Ningxing sighed slightly, how quickly time flies.

They had grown up in the blink of an eye.

She patted his back and said, "You don’t need to say blessings, simply liking our posts on our circle of friends will do. If you really can’t find Youyou, consider finding a new girlfriend. Don’t make your dad and me worry about you at our age."

To tell the truth, Xia Ningxing was quite anxious.

After all, her son was nearing thirty.

Lu Yichuan: "..."

He was clearly still in his twenties, thank you very much!

The company managed by Lu Tingli and Xia Ningxing was running smoothly, and Lu Yichuan had no trouble adapting to the business model.

At the beginning, of course, there were those who were disgruntled, even repeatedly challenging his Overbearing Boss authority.

But he squashed those voices decisively, leaving them without the confidence to mutter another word or to let out a casual fart.

The secretary walked into the office with his schedule: "Mr. Lu, there is a dinner at Jingcheng Hotel tonight, and you’re needed there before nine o’clock."

"Mhm, got it," Lu Yichuan responded indifferently. Noticing the secretary lingering, he frowned, "What is it? Anything else?"

The secretary nodded and continued, "We’ve got a lead on the girl you’ve been looking for."

Thud!

The pen in Lu Yichuan’s hand slammed onto the desk as his heart was suddenly engulfed by tumultuous waves!

He sprang up from his chair, circled the desk, and his usually composed face melted with anxiety as he pressed for details, "Tell me quickly, where is she now? Is she doing well?"

The man who was usually detached and conscientious was now reddening around the eyes, a mixture of shock and joy.

After all these years, finally!

Finally, there was news of her!

His efforts had not been in vain!
