Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Really Don’t Know How to Refuse
Ling Haoyu’s heart clenched tightly, and for a mont, he didn’t know how to refuse...
After a long silence, he softly uttered, "Alright, I’ll call Beichen Rui and ask him."
"Really?"
"Yes..."
On the balcony, Ling Haoyu held the phone, his fingertip hovering in the air before he finally pressed to dial the number.
The phone rang twice before it was answered.
"Hello..."
From the other side ca Beichen Rui’s voice.
"How has Xinluo’s health been these past days?"
"It’s alright. You didn’t call just for that. Is sothing the matter?"
Glancing at the person sleeping soundly, he gently slipped out of the room, closing the door softly behind him.
"Mother knows..."
Beichen Rui’s steps paused as he walked to the study, then resud at a steady pace. He spoke in an unhurried tone, "And then?"
"Could you let her et Xinluo once?"
"Daddy!"
Jingxi suddenly popped out from the corner, giggling, "Daddy, did I scare you?"
Seeing him on the phone, she paused her chatter, "Daddy, you get busy first. I’m going back to my room to sleep."
With that, she turned and ran off.
Beichen Rui walked into the study, sat down elegantly crossing his legs, "I rember saying before, to avoid stressing Xinluo as much as possible."
"I know, but..."
Beichen Rui pressed his lips together, aware of how hard it is not to et a loved one, but considering Xinluo’s current health...
For a mont, he too was at a loss...
"I know it’s not suitable for Xinluo to et anyone in her current condition, but my mom already knows about this. She’s been clamoring to see her. Ever since Xinluo went missing, she’s been crying for a long ti. I really don’t know how to refuse."
The other end of the line was silent for a full two minutes before continuing, "I’ll arrange the ti, but make sure not to upset her."
"Alright."
Ling Haoyu was quite surprised; he thought Beichen Rui would be stubbornly unwilling to relent.
But unexpectedly...
After hanging up, Beichen Rui sat in his seat, staring straight ahead.
He too understood the feeling of being separated from loved ones, and seeing each other should be quite fulfilling, shouldn’t it?
Standing up, he retrieved a box from a storage compartnt beside the bookshelf.
Because it hadn’t been opened in a long ti, the lock was a bit rusty and there was a thin layer of dust on the lid.
He brought it back to the desk, searched for a while in a drawer, and took out a set of keys to open it.
On top were a few letters, which he didn’t open but set aside.
Underneath was a pen encased in a box, along with several photographs.
These were the relics left by his parents, which had been with his grandfather, and only passed to him after he took over the group.
Opening the pen’s box, he took out its contents.
A handmade pen with a diamond set in the cap.
The other photographs were from when his parents were still alive, two of them from their wedding.
There was also a photo of the three of them as a family; back then, Beichen Rui was just an infant in swaddling clothes...
The photos had yellowed a bit, but it wasn’t hard to see that his parents were genuinely happy at the ti, smiles all over their faces.
This was also the only remaining photo of the three together.
Finding a clean cloth, he carefully wiped everything inside, organized it, and laid them one by one on the desk.
