Chapter 165 Fu Mingyue Disappears Again...

Before she finished speaking, Niannian had already rushed into her grandfather's warm embrace like a fledgling returning to its nest, and hugged his neck tightly.

In an instant, scalding tears, like a flood bursting its banks, gushed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Those strings of glistening tears, like falling shooting stars, quickly soaked the clothes on Old Master Fu's shoulders.

Her body trembled slightly, and she sobbed, her voice hoarse from crying as she choked out:

"Grandpa, it's me! I'm finally back! I haven't stopped missing you for a single moment these past few days!"

Every day, every minute, every second, my mind is filled with your kind face and warm smile.

Grandpa Fu hugged Niannian tightly, feeling her small body trembling gently in his arms, his heart filled with excitement and joy.

He responded, his voice trembling slightly:

“My dear, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime! Ever since you left, my heart has been hanging in the air, and I worry about you day and night.”

It turns out that over the past six months, Grandpa Fu's worries about Niannian have been growing stronger.

This deep concern prompted him to make a surprising decision—to have Fu Ci invest in a research institute and specifically task them with researching topics related to time travel.

He eagerly hoped that he could use the power of science to find a way to bring Niannian back to his side.

Suddenly, Niannian burst into laughter through her tears and exclaimed excitedly, "Xiao Ba brought me back!"

However, in that instant, she seemed to remember something important, and the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of confusion.

She blinked her large, watery eyes, looked up at Old Master Fu, and asked eagerly:

"Dad, where's Mom? I don't see them. Are they busy at work?"

When he heard Niannian raise this question, Grandpa Fu was stunned.

His eyes darted away, and after a long silence, he slowly replied, "Your dad... he's busy handling various matters at the company. As for your mom..."

He paused briefly, seemingly choosing his words, before continuing:

"Since you lost contact with that phoenix bronze mirror half a year ago, your mother has also mysteriously disappeared and has not been heard from since."

!!!

Mom has disappeared again?

Grandpa Fu's words made Niannian's heart sink. She released her grandfather, her eyes filled with shock and worry: "Mom is gone? How could she be gone again??"

Oh my god, oh my god, I finally came back, but Mom is gone again!

She slowly raised her head, her clear, watery eyes gazing straight upstairs.

The moment my gaze fell upon the direction of the phoenix bronze mirror, an indescribable sense of disgust surged into my heart like a tidal wave, as if the whole world was shrouded in this shadow.

I always felt that my mother was ruined by this phoenix bronze mirror her whole life...

However, this is not the time to dwell on these painful past events; we must find Dad as soon as possible!

Grandpa Fu, sitting to the side, gently shook his head, his face full of worry, and said, "Ah... Niannian, Grandpa really doesn't know the situation. Don't run around, just stay here and keep Grandpa company!"

His voice trembled slightly, revealing his deep fear and unease;

He had had enough of living in constant fear since those events.

But Niannian shook her head firmly and answered without hesitation, "No! Grandpa, I cannot grant your request this time."

"Why?" Old Master Fu asked anxiously.

Niannian took a deep breath and explained, "Because I have to go to the company to find Dad and get everything sorted out. When I get back, I'll definitely spend some quality time with you, Grandpa!"

After saying that, Niannian raised her hand and gently patted Grandpa Fu's shoulder, as if to comfort him and make a promise.

Grandpa Fu gazed at his living, breathing granddaughter, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

At first, he was somewhat dazed, thinking that it was all just a dream;

But when he truly felt Nian Nian's warm body temperature and that familiar scent, he gradually came to his senses—this was not a dream, but something that had actually happened!

So he began to examine Niannian carefully.

Niannian looked much thinner than before; her once round, cute, and chubby little face now had a pointed chin.

Moreover, she has grown significantly taller, standing gracefully like a newly blossoming flower.

Seeing this, Grandpa Fu couldn't help but sigh with heartache: "Oh dear, my darling, how did you get so thin? Where did your chubby little face go?"

Niannian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Despite being filled with deep worry for her mother's safety, she still did her best to show her grandfather a strong and optimistic side.

"Grandpa, don't worry about me! I'm fine. I'm just growing up. People naturally get a little thinner as they grow."

Don't worry, I'll definitely eat well and try to get myself plump and healthy when I get back!

As she spoke, Niannian patted her rather thin chest forcefully, making a firm and resolute promise to her grandfather.

Grandpa Fu reached out with loving eyes and gently stroked Niannian's hair, his gaze filled with tenderness and emotion, as he murmured:

“My dear granddaughter, you’ve really grown up, and you’ve become stronger and braver. Seeing how sensible you are, your grandfather is so proud.”

Niannian nodded obediently, indicating that she had remembered her grandfather's instructions.

Then, she changed the subject and said to her grandfather with a serious and earnest expression, "Grandpa, actually I want to go to NJ company to look for Dad, because I want to find out the details about Mom's disappearance."

Maybe Dad can get some crucial clues. Grandpa, could you arrange a car to take me there?

Grandpa Fu knew his granddaughter's temperament well; once she made up her mind to do something, not even nine oxen could pull her back.

So he nodded without hesitation and agreed to Niannian's request.

He nodded slightly in agreement and said slowly, "Okay, no problem, I'll arrange for someone to prepare the car right away."

But my dear, you have to promise me that no matter what happens, your first priority will be protecting yourself, and you absolutely mustn't act rashly!
