Chapter 1553: Moving Forward

But thinking about it, it’s about time.

On New Year’s Eve in February, Feng Huaimu was arrested. Criminal cases usually take three or four months to go to trial, so it’s about time now.

Xu Haohao’s eyelids twitched lightly. She forced herself to sound calm as she sneered, “Isn’t this exactly what he deserves? Serves him right!”

Su Li thought for a moment and still asked, “How long is the sentence?”

“Two years.”

Su Li nodded lightly. The length of the fixed-term imprisonment was roughly what they’d anticipated before; they’d already guessed it would probably be two years.

Xu Haohao added, “It’s just… I didn’t expect him not to file an appeal.”

The court handed down the verdict, two years in prison, and Feng Huaimu just accepted it outright, leisurely going off to serve his time.

When it came to Feng Huaimu, Su Li really didn’t know what to say.

Whether it was this world’s Feng Huaimu or the Otherworld’s Feng Huaimu, both had hurt her and Feng Huaijin.

Only, the him in this world had committed comparatively lighter crimes—at most illegal intrusion and illegal confinement.

But the Feng Huaimu in the Otherworld… he already counted as a murderer, didn’t he?

He caused the deaths of Su Li and Feng Huaijin.

Whenever Su Li thought of the Otherworld’s King and Tuanzi still treating Feng Huaimu as a good person, her scalp would prickle.

At the same time she secretly felt relieved that the Tuanzi born to the Otherworld’s Su Li is a boy, not a girl.

These purple eyes of hers would only be passed on to a daughter, not a son.

Su Li gently clasped Xu Haohao’s hand, looked at her with a smile and said, “Haohao, you have to remember what you said before. Your Future is still beautiful, and you’ll keep moving forward, seeking out those beautiful things.”

People must always look ahead.

Let the past stay in the past; there’s no need to cling to it.

Because there will be better things in the Future, and what’s gone doesn’t need to appear in your present life anymore.

Xu Haohao’s eyes turned slightly red. She looked at Su Li and nodded hard. “Mm.”

Xu Haohao sniffed lightly, glanced around, and asked, “Oh right, where’s that little scientist called Ning Yan? Isn’t he your dry brother? Why didn’t he come?”

Su Li had already told them about Feng Yi’s departure, so Xu Haohao and the others weren’t surprised.

Su Li turned her head to look around, a little surprised herself. “What’s going on? Wasn’t he just here?”

The butler tapped lightly on the door, poked his head in, and said, “Young Master Ning Yan just said the Research Institute needs him, so he went back first.”

That wasn’t an excuse; the Research Institute really had called Ning Yan to return immediately.

Half an hour later, Ning Yan walked out of the director’s office, his gaze back to its usual cool indifference.

Step by step, he headed toward Professor Tang Lide’s laboratory. The old professor, rare for him, didn’t immediately invite him to join his experiment project, but instead tried to offer some comfort: “Little Ning Yan, people have to look forward.”

Ning Yan gave a soft “mm” and walked toward the bedroom where Feng Yi had stayed under Professor Tang. Before he could knock, the door opened from the inside.

Seeing someone open the door, that deadened gaze in his eyes suddenly flared with blazing light as he looked at the person who’d opened it.

“Former Master, welcome to your visit. Welcome.” The robot Bo Bo said, its voice utterly devoid of emotion.

The one who opened the door was… Bo Bo.

Former Master? That title was definitely something Feng Yi had changed.

Ning Yan walked in, his cold eyes sweeping the surroundings. The cozy room felt as if its owner had only gone out for a bit of fun and would be coming back any moment.

“Little Ning Yan, Little Yiyi has gone back, back to her own time and space. Take this Bobo Robot with you as well.” Professor Tang said from the side.
