Yu Yuehan replied with a “hmm” and carried her into the car.
He could not bear to release his grip on her for the entire journey.
After they had got hold of the location of the Tan family’s ancestral residence, Yu Yuehan immediately told the assistant to book the air tickets to City N.
Someone was there to receive them at the airport the moment they got off the plane.
As they sat in the car, the chauffeur did not wait for Yu Yuehan to ask and had already reported the information that he had gotten hold of in advance.
“The Mo Family is the number one clan in City N, and the Zheng Family depended on their help in their earlier years to get to where they are today. However, some unforeseen events have happened in the Mo Family in recent years. Hence, they separated from the Mo Family’s supply chain and seemed to be setting up their own kingdom. As for the Tan family, they have always remained low-profile and there are few rumors of them in City N. We do not know if the Tan family is related to any of the bigger clans.”
The chauffeur paused in his words then continued reporting.
“We have followed Young Master Han’s instructions and checked on the address that Zheng Yan has provided; it is confirmed that the Tan family’s ancestral residence is indeed situated near the Zheng Family, and it was supposedly left behind by the ancestors of the Tan family. However, for some unknown reason, all of the members of the Tan family had already moved out and the residence has been left empty for a few years.”
As the chauffeur spoke, he passed a document to Yu Yuehan.
It was very quiet in the car.
Compared to Yu Yuehan, who was reading the document, Nian Xiaomu appeared to be far more relaxed as she lay in his embrace.
As she dug her fair, tender fingers into the hem of his wool top, she pressed onto his abdominal muscles and muttered to herself.
“It has been so many days since I hugged such a good figure that I nearly thought that I would not have the chance to hug it again. I miss it so damn much!”
Yu Yuehan knitted his eyebrows slightly when her slightly chilly fingers came into contact with his tummy. However, he did not push her hand away. Instead, he hugged her tightly and lowered his gaze to look at her.
“It’s already the beginning of spring, why do your hands still feel so cold?”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on her face. Then, he continued to read the document.
Seeing that he was reading so seriously, Nian Xiaomu couldn’t help it and turned around so that she could read it with him.
“Did you find anything amiss?”
“Not at the moment.” Yu Yuehan scanned through the document briefly and placed it at the side.
The car reached the Tan family’s ancestral residence in no time.
An ancient-looking residence appeared in Nian Xiaomu’s field of vision the moment she lifted her head up from the car.
“This is the Tan family’s ancestral residence, it was said that all of the members of the Tan family used to stay here in the past. However, something seemed to have happened and they all moved out in just a single night.”
“There were many sayings; some of them said that the members of the Tan family had received the order from the Master of the house and split up to practice medicine in different parts of the country; some of the others said that a curse had been set upon the Tan family and they all died in a single night. In any case, this place had been empty for at least three to four years now.”
The chauffeur took the lead and walked to the entrance as he spoke.
Then, the assistant followed.
Yu Yuehan held onto Nian Xiaomu’s hand and they walked in behind.
Since the Tan family’s ancestral residence had been empty for a few years, the lock at the main entrance had grown rusty and it was unsure if the lock had been pried open by a burglary attempt.
They did not use much strength and entered the courtyard with just a push of the door.
Compared to the old-fashioned looks on the outside, the courtyard of the Tan family’s ancestral residence appeared to be pretty exquisite-looking.
A huge carved rock was even placed near the main entrance.
The word “Tan” was carved in traditional Chinese on the rock.
The surface area of the entire residence was very big.
As Nian Xiaomu stared at the decor. It did not seem to have lost the grandeur of a huge clan even after the residence had been empty for a few years. She could almost imagine how honorable and respectable the Tan family was in City N in the past.
Apart from the huge carved stone in the courtyard, there were also a few small stones further on the premises. The Chinese word “Zeng”, which translates to a gift, was carved at the bottom of these stones.
They should be gifts from others.
