Hunting for Love for 101 Times

Hearing Mrs. Ni’s words, Ye Sichen suddenly realized that he was really troubled by those nightmares when he was young. The same scene occurred repeatedly. He stood in the middle of blood-stained bodies, surrounded by screams of old people and children. Flames of wars covered his eyes.

No wonder this scene came back to him again and again. It did happen once. Maybe that medicine was taken too often, so he basically forgot about things before the age of five.

“Ye Qiao gave you a map before his death for the purpose that you should remember that you are a part of the Ni’s bloodline and the heir of Ni’s Family. He was guiding you to come here to recognize your father.” Mrs. Ni said sadly, “As a grave keeper, Meng Zuo knows the whole story of your life, but I forbade him to tell you that. I wanted you to pursue your interests. I saw your compassion by building refugee camps here and supporting charities everywhere. I am really proud of you.” Mrs. Ni couldn’t help covering her mouth to cry when she spoke of this.

Ye Sichen gently wiped away the tears on her face, “The reason for those charities was just that I can’t stand to see those who suffered. Therefore, I wanted to become famous. With my fame, I could persuade those politicians into stopping the war, so that there would be fewer refugees. Perhaps this all came from that nightmare.” Because of the nightmare full of blood and dead bodies, he was determined to build those refugee camps.

“Chen, this is an excellent idea. I’ll always back you up.” Holding Ye Sichen’s hand, Mrs. Ni expected, “I hope you carry on your father’s last will and rehabilitate our family.”

Ye Sichen nodded slowly, “Yes, I will, mother.”

Meng Zuo stepped forward and spoke of the invisible risk, “There has been constant chaos caused by war along the border. Many refugees have become homeless and begun to create scourge as terrorists, and that in the name of Mr. Ni. It explains why the Allies has been regarding you as an important figure of the terror. If it goes on like this, those terrorists, just like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, will be out of control. By then, they will become more lawless.”

“We have to find a way to stop it.” Ye Sichen said.

“Yes, but now, we have to find your uncle, Ni Yuan.”

“Any news now?” Ye Sichen asked Meng Zuo.

“I found out Ni Yuan returned to country A. He changed his name and made a living in politics.” Meng Zuo said this in exasperation.

Hearing Meng Zuo’s words, Mrs. Ni suddenly realized, “I suspect that he was the mole who set up your father. After all, he has a better life and even becomes a politician now. What a sinister conspirator!”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ni gritted her teeth out of anger.

Ye Sichen thought, “Country A?”

He used to go to Country A when he was on his world tour before. The leaders of this country often met him. If Meng Zuo could tell the name, he might know him.

“Uncle Zuo, what’s his new name?” Ye Sichen asked Meng Zuo.

“It’s Nan Zhentian.”

Meng Zuo said.

After thinking for quite a while, Ye Sichen was sure that he did not know this man.

“Zuo, since we know his details, we can definitely find him. He must have information about the past.” Mrs. Ni said.

Thinking for a while, Ye Sichen took out Wei Shi’s tunic and showed it to Meng Zuo, “Uncle Zuo, take a good look. Can you recognize the handwriting on it?”

Uncle Zuo took it and studied carefully. He frowned as he was studying, “I can recognize the handwriting. It is from a soldier beside Ni Yuan at that time. His name was Wei Shi, but he died on the battlefield eventually. He sacrificed himself to save Mr. Ni, Mrs. Ni and you.” Meng Zuo became more inconsolable, holding the tunic, “I didn’t expect you to have his tunic.”

Mrs. Ni looked at the tunic and was deeply touched, “It was him. Chen, how did you know him?”

Ye Sichen explained to Mrs. Ni and Meng Zuo how he distracted the old lady’s longing for her son by pretending to be Wei Shi and how the old lady left her legacy to him and Xia Nuan.

The ins and outs were all clearly explained.

Mrs. Ni sighed, “It seems like a fateful coincidence.”

“The general meaning of the handwriting is that Ni Yuan kept a very important audio recording.” Meng Zuo, looking at the scribbled handwriting, translated for Ye Sichen, “Probably this recording contained some information about Ni’s Family and Mr. Ni Feng.”

Hearing this, Ye Sichen took over the tunic and held it gently in his hands, “We have to start with Ni Feng.”

No, with Nan Zhentian.

Ye Sichen and Mrs. Ni were about to leave. With Meng Zuo’s covering, they left without any trouble.

Sitting on the yacht, Ye Sichen looked at the waves on the sea, and his mind was in turmoil. The path to rehabilitation of Ni’s Family had just begun. He was afraid that Xia Nuan would get involved.

Xia Nuan said whatever he encountered, she would be there and face it with him.

Ye Sichen’s eyes gleamed with a surge of warmth. His face was gentle and elegant under the moonlight.

Ge Li stood behind Ye Sichen, watched his straight figure, and her heart pounded for a second.

Even if she could just stand there and stare at him from a distance, she still enjoyed it.

Mrs. Ni had noticed Ge Li’s feeling because she stood just behind Ge Li. She sighed slightly and began to feel sorry for Ge Li.

“Ge Li, would you be so kind enough to come in and make me a cup of tea, please?” Mrs. Ni asked.

Ge Li came back to her senses and turned back. She went into the cabin to make some tea for Mrs. Ni. Mrs. Ni smiled.

“Please tell Chen to come in too.”

Ge Li went out to tell Ye Sichen.

Soon, Ye Sichen came in. He looked at Mrs. Ni and bowed respectfully.

“Chen, come here. Have some tea with me and get relaxed. The rehabilitation could not be done immediately. What matters is that you need to ease your mind now.”

Ye Sichen nodded slowly, “Yes, I’m in no hurry to solve this.” He picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

“Chen, I want to ask you one thing.”

“Please.” Ye Sichen did not get used to address Mrs. Ni as mother, but he had got to accept this fact gradually.

“If Ni’s Family is rehabilitated, undoubtedly, you will inherit your father’s position. By then, we will go back to Ni’s house. Will Xia Nuan go with you?”

Ye Sichen replied instantly, “Xia Nuan is my wife. She, the children and I are inseparable. As to the inheritance, let’s talk about it later. I have no intention of it.”

Mrs. Ni was not glad to hear this, “Who else should inherit then? You are my only son and the sole legitimate inheritor of Ni’s Family!”

“The purpose that I do this is not to become a politician or a ruler, but to reduce the chaos and the number of those terrorists. Furthermore, I am your son, so I feel obliged to help you redress the grievance. But I’ve never thought about inheriting.”

He asserted without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ni asked with disappointment, “Chen, just do it for me, will you? My only hope is that you take your father’s position.”

“Why are you insisting on this?” Ye Sichen was helpless.

“Alright, let’s skip the part and focus on the present issues.” Realizing Ye Sichen would not accept this, Mrs. Ni stopped pushing him.

She had planned to pair Ye Sichen off with Ge Li. But there seemed to be no hope.

The conversation became disagreeable both to the mother and to the son. So, they kept silent until they got back to the island.

Xia Nuan wasn’t there, so were the children, Di Luoke and Mi Ke’er. All the rooms were empty, and nobody was there.

Ye Sichen got nervous for not seeing Xia Nuan.

Where could Xia Nuan and the children be? Were they discovered by someone? Or were they captured by pirates? Ye Sichen was going to send someone to search.

Ge Li found a note on the table in the living room. It was a message for Ye Sichen left by Xia Nuan.

“Ye, Di Luoke and I are going out to look for Mi Ke’er. No worry, we’ll be back by night.”

Noticing how worried Ye Sichen was, Ge Li quietly grasped the note into her hand. She tore it up and dumped the pieces in the waste basket while she was out of Ye Sichen’s sight. And then, she stared at the waste basket, getting nervous.

Ge Li went back to her bedroom and got something. Then she threw it into the waste basket.

Hearing Ye Sichen going downstairs hurriedly to find Xia Nuan, Ge Li quickly pushed the waste basket to a conspicuous place.

As Ye Sichen passed by, Ge Li suddenly reminded him, “Sir, what are these? Could these have anything to do with Xia Nuan?”

She pointed to something pink in the waste basket.

Ye Sichen stopped and saw an oval and pink sex toy in the trash can. And a used condom was next to it.

These embarrassing things appeared in the waste basket in the living room.

Seeing this, Ye Sichen’s face went dark with rage.

“Sir? I thought this might be your wife’s stuff.” Ge Li said.

When Mrs. Ni came over and saw the stuff in the waste basket, her face went red with rage, “To whom do these dirty and disgusting things belong? Why do they appear in the living room?”

Ge Li lowered her head and kept silent.

“Ge Li, search thoroughly, and don’t let these things stain my eyes!”

Mrs. Ni ordered Ge Li angrily. Ge Li pretended to be helpless and searched the couch. She turned a cushion over and found a G-string beneath it.

“Whose stuff is this? Can’t it be Xia Nuan’s? We were not here for the past two days. Except her, who might own it?” The anger on Mrs. Ni’s face was obvious.

Ge Li glanced at Ye Sichen and said carefully, “It should not be…”

“Yes, Xia Nuan owns this, and those in the waste basket, too. We were very close that night, and forgot about everything, so we had it in the living room. Sorry.”

After saying that, Ye Sichen began to tidy up calmly.

Ge Li was surprised to hear that. She underestimated Ye Sichen’s faith to Xia Nuan. He was willing to lie for her.

Although these were all deceptions created by her, they were easily led to Xia Nuan. Shouldn’t Ye Sichen question Xia Nuan for being disloyal to him?

Ye Sichen sorted all these out, and went out to find Xia Nuan. Before he was out of the door, Xia Nuan came back.

Di Luoke returned with Ansheng in his arms. Xia Nuan, holding hands of Wuyou and Nianci, walked to Ye Sichen, a man in gloom.
