Chapter 1786: Chapter 1787: Going to the Capital City Too

He gave a refined smile and looked at Rong Yan, saying, “So you don’t need to say thank you to me. I’m helping you, and at the same time, seeking some peace of mind for myself.”

Rong Yan understood and paused, her star-like eyes pure and clear, “No matter what reason you have for helping me, you’ve helped me indeed, and I should still be grateful and say thank you.”

Chu Aotian gazed at her deeply, liking her more as he looked, and then changed the subject, “Alright, let’s stop with the thank yous. Are you hungry? If you are, let’s eat something. Eat full, rest well, and tomorrow I’ll have someone send you back.”

“By the way, where does your family live?”

“Capital City.”

“Capital City?” Chu Aotian was slightly surprised.

Rong Yan got up from the bed and looked at him cluelessly, “Mr. Nie, is there something wrong?”

Chu Aotian shook his head and smiled, “There’s nothing wrong. It’s just quite a coincidence, I also have to go to Capital City to see my wife, she’s ill. I originally thought you lived in another part of Hua Country, so I arranged for someone to send you back. I didn’t expect you also live in Capital City, such a coincidence.”

“Your wife also lives in Capital City?” Rong Yan asked curiously.

Chu Aotian said gently, “She doesn’t live in Hua Country. Our family used to be in Hua Country, but later moved abroad, she and I live together in Italy now. At the start of the year, she went back to find our daughter who went missing when she was little, but I couldn’t delay and return due to some commitments here. Unfortunately, not only did she not find our daughter, she fell ill.”

“Ever since the child went missing, she has always blamed herself for her carelessness, losing the child. She never gave up looking for her all these years. The doctor said she’s been depressed and doesn’t eat or sleep well, her body is much weaker compared to others her age, and she gets headaches. The doctors advised her to try and move on, not to dwell on the past. I’m sure her falling ill this time is mostly related to our daughter, but I can’t persuade her. As for myself, I have since come to terms with it. If fate lets us find her, we’ll find her one day. But if fate says we and that child aren’t meant to be, then no matter how hard we try, we won’t find her. I’ve told her these things, but she doesn’t listen. When she heard someone claimed our daughter had returned to Hua Country at the start of the year, she hurried back…”

He didn’t even realize how he ended up saying so much unknowingly, but for some reason, when he saw the girl’s face, which resembled his wife’s when she was young, he couldn’t help but want to talk to her.

“Since you’re returning to Capital City, it’s perfect we can travel together. Tomorrow, come with me, and I’ll take you.”

Rong Yan’s eyes lit up with surprise, “Really?”

“Yes. After all, we are heading in the same direction.”

Rong Yan couldn’t help but say, “Thank you, thank you so much.”

Just then, her stomach growled, and Rong Yan, a bit embarrassed, covered her stomach, her cheeks slightly red.

“Hungry?” Chu Aotian smiled and said to her, “It’s all my fault. Seeing you, I couldn’t help but chat and didn’t notice you hadn’t eaten yet. Come on, the food is ready outside, let’s have a meal before we chat more.”

“Okay.”

She was indeed hungry, and without any shyness, she straightforwardly followed Chu Aotian out.

The dining table was laid with a spread of dishes, all Hua Country cuisine, clearly arranged by Chu Aotian to cater to her taste.

Rong Yan ate half a bowl of rice and couldn’t eat any more.

It wasn’t because she wasn’t hungry or because the food wasn’t good; it’s just that after slightly filling her stomach, she lost her appetite.
