Chapter 98: The Study Fell into a Deathly Silence

He had always known how much Madam valued finding her birth parents. It could be said that her most urgent concern at the moment was finding her biological parents.

Madam had been waiting for these days, and now she must be feeling anxious.

Though Madam didn’t voice it, they could tell.

Now, he had brought back the news and had thoroughly investigated everything, but he dared not tell Madam.

Seeing Madam’s current happy demeanor, how could he bear it?

If Madam found out, she might be very disappointed.

Wei Yuxian was indeed very happy today, or it could be said that she had been very happy these days because the atmosphere in the Fu mansion was just too good, so good that she didn’t want to leave!

If every New Year in the future could have such an atmosphere, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Wei Yuxian made two dishes today, and they both looked very well-prepared. When she was at home before, she was the one who cooked. After so many years of cooking, her culinary skills were excellent.

However, after coming to the Fu mansion, she didn’t have the opportunity to cook because she was experiencing severe morning sickness at that time.

But now things were different. Her morning sickness was gone, so she could go into the kitchen whenever she wanted.

She served Mrs. Fu some of the dishes she made and said, “Mrs. Fu, try my cooking.”

Mrs. Fu smiled and repeatedly said, “Sure,” as she ate the dishes Wei Yuxian served. She found the taste quite good, so she served some to Fu Xuanyi.

“Ah Xuan, try it too. Yuxian’s cooking is delicious.”

Fu Xuanyi didn’t say anything, silently finishing his meal. Then he uttered two words, “Very Delicious.”

Mrs. Fu, upon hearing this, had an even brighter smile on her face, as if she had made the dishes herself.

She then used the communal chopsticks to serve some food to Lu Chengxiao and said, “Xiao Lu, don’t be polite, eat up. We’re all family here.”

Lu Chengxiao smiled somewhat reluctantly and said, “Thank you, Madam.”

He felt a bit overwhelmed by the favor. The dishes were made by Madam, and he was being served by Aunt Fu. What an honor it was!

He ate the food absentmindedly, unable to taste anything. At this moment, he had no mood to savor the delicious dishes on the table. His mind was preoccupied.

Wei Yuxian felt that something was off with Lu Chengxiao tonight. Before, whenever she saw him, he would always be grinning broadly, looking simple and honest. But now, he looked troubled, and she didn’t know why.

Moreover, on such a big New Year’s day, why wasn’t he going home to have dinner with his family? Instead, he came here. What was he up to?

Wei Yuxian didn’t know who Fu Xuanyi had arranged to investigate her parents’ matter, but she had a suspicion forming in her mind.

It’s very likely that Fu Xuanyi arranged for Lu Chengxiao to investigate this matter.

And Lu Chengxiao’s visit at this moment could very well mean that he has brought back news about her parents.

Thinking about this, Wei Yuxian couldn’t help but have a sparkle in her eyes as she kept looking at Lu Chengxiao, as if trying to discern something from him.

Her blatant actions made Lu Chengxiao feel extremely uncomfortable, and he could only lower his head to eat, avoiding her gaze.

Madam, please don’t look at me like that. Not to mention, I can’t bear it myself, but also Master Xuanyi next to you, his gaze seems like it’s going to devour me!

Wei Yuxian, however, didn’t notice any of this. She was solely focused on knowing about her parents’ news.

But she wasn’t sure if Lu Chengxiao was the one investigating. So, she could only keep those questions bottled up inside and think about having the reunion dinner first.

Anyway, there would be plenty of time later. After finishing the meal, she could ask Lu Chengxiao without delay.

With these thoughts in mind, Wei Yuxian ate her meal contentedly, feeling the deliciousness of the food before her!

She no longer stared at Lu Chengxiao, her lips carrying a hint of a smile, immersed in the joy of possibly receiving news about her parents, completely oblivious to Lu Chengxiao’s current expression.

Fu Xuanyi, seeing that she finally stopped staring at the other person, also withdrew his gaze, allowing Lu Chengxiao to escape unscathed.

Too terrifying! Too terrifying!

Master Xuanyi, please don’t look at me with that kind of gaze anymore. Madam is the one who wants to look at me, not because I’m inviting Madam’s gaze!

Fu Xuanyi used the communal chopsticks to serve Wei Yuxian a lot of meat and said, “Eat more.”

The two children needed more nutrition, and her body had finally gained a bit of plumpness. She needed to eat more meat to become even plumper and more comfortable to hold.

Wei Yuxian looked at the mountain of meat in her bowl with a slightly wrinkled expression. She didn’t dare to resist and could only tackle the mountain of meat by herself.

During this meal, Wei Yuxian ate very well, and Fu Xuanyi, along with his parents, also enjoyed their meal. With more people, it was lively.

The Fu family used to be quiet, just the three of them, but this year was different. They had Wei Yuxian now!

With Wei Yuxian around, the house wouldn’t feel so empty.

The only one who didn’t eat well was Lu Chengxiao. He could only manage one bowl of rice and couldn’t eat anymore. Normally, he wouldn’t stop at three bowls.

After finishing her meal, Wei Yuxian wanted to approach Lu Chengxiao to inquire about the situation and ask if he was responsible for investigating her parents’ matter.

But before she could speak, Lu Chengxiao approached Fu Xuanyi and said, “Master Xuanyi, can we please go to the study for a discussion.”

Fu Xuanyi responded with a simple “Hmm” and glanced at Wei Yuxian beside him, instructing her, “Sit for a while longer before getting up to walk around.”

Wei Yuxian nodded in a daze and could only watch as Lu Chengxiao followed Fu Xuanyi into the study.

She sighed, suppressing her thoughts. Oh well, she could ask later. She didn’t believe Lu Chengxiao could chat with Fu Xuanyi in the study all night!

So, she sat on the sofa watching TV, albeit a bit absent-mindedly, occasionally glancing towards Fu Xuanyi’s study.

In the study at this moment, Fu Xuanyi and Lu Chengxiao sat facing each other. Fu Xuanyi said, “Speak.”

He knew that Lu Chengxiao wouldn’t come to him at this time for anything other than that matter.

Lu Chengxiao took out the briefcase he had with him, containing some documents, all the results of his investigations in recent days.

Fu Xuanyi took them and started to read while listening to Lu Chengxiao’s verbal account.

Lu Chengxiao began with finding Wei Yuxian’s poster mother, then proceeded to obtaining the address from the hospital, and then went on to talk about finding people. Not a single detail was omitted in this process.

He spoke for about ten minutes, and Fu Xuanyi looked through the documents for about the same duration. Afterwards, the study fell into a deathly silence.

Fu Xuanyi remained silent, unconsciously taking off the Buddhist beads from his wrist and rolling them in his palm, his gaze heavy, lost in thought.

Lu Chengxiao cleared his throat, breaking the silence, and asked, “Do you want to tell Madam? I think she would be very upset.”

Considering Madam’s current situation, it wasn’t suitable to tell her. After all, Madam was eagerly hoping to find her biological parents.

But they…
