She had only known the man named Xian Mingyu for two short days, so why did she become so dependent on him?
Is it a coincidence?
Their affection was so deep, it was as if they were a father and daughter.
Mo Niannian was startled when this thought suddenly popped into her head.
Seriously.
What is she thinking?
How could that be?
Youyou is her precious darling, and no one can take her away from her, even if her biological father comes looking for her one day.

After returning to L City and resting at home for a few hours, Xian Mingyu immediately went to where Feng Zhiyuan was staying.
The old man's health is deteriorating day by day. Because of his excessive longing for Bai Xiaoruo, he hasn't had a good night's sleep in all these years.
"Grandpa."
"You've arrived." Feng Zhiyuan slowly came downstairs with his cane and instructed the servants to prepare tea for Xian Mingyu.
Hsien Ming-yu stepped forward and helped him sit on the sofa.
The old man sighed, "You just got back from a business trip, why don't you go home and rest a bit more, instead of always coming here to see me?"
"It's okay, I'm bored at home alone anyway."
After much deliberation, Feng Zhiyuan finally decided to speak his mind to Xian Mingyu: "Have you heard anything from Ruoruo?"
Xian Mingyu shook his head.
Four years have passed as before.
There was nothing there; it was as if she had completely vanished into thin air.
Feng Zhiyuan's eyes reddened. He should have known... This wasn't the first time this had happened; he should have understood long ago...

“Mingyu, I know you care about finding Ruoruo. So many years have passed, and I thank you on Ruoruo's behalf for your concern. But... so much time has passed, and you still can't find her... Although I don't want to believe it either, you should give up. Stop letting people look for her. While you're still young, find a suitable girl to marry and forget about Ruoruo.” Feng Zhiyuan's voice choked with emotion as he thought of Bai Xiaoruo, his poor, beloved granddaughter.
I don't know if the girl is still alive.
She had suffered for most of her life, enduring so much hardship at such a young age. Whenever Feng Zhiyuan thought about it, he felt like slapping himself.
Why did it take so long to find her? We didn't even let her have a few good days before we had to watch helplessly as an elderly person outlived their child.
give up?
How could I possibly bear to part with it?
His sole wish and motivation to keep living optimistically all these years has been to keep searching for her.
Having persevered for so many years, how could Hsien Ming-yu bear to give up at a time like this?
"No, Grandpa, please don't try to persuade me. I can't forget her, I'll never forget her in this lifetime... I won't give up on her, even if all we find in the end is her body, I will wait for her to come back. I don't want anyone else, I only want her."
