She was very careful in front of the Ji couple, and she always thought things through before speaking or acting. But when she received recognition at school, she smiled happily.

In the photo, Ji Zhinan is holding a certificate and trophy, smiling broadly at the camera.

Her smile was so innocent...

Li Yuan felt extremely bitter. He, as the father, should have personally witnessed his daughter's growth, watching her grow from an adorable little radish into a beautiful young woman. But now... he could only make up for his years of loss by compiling the documents he had gathered.

Looking at the photo, which resembled his own features so much, and those bright and beautiful eyes, Li Yuan had countless moments of feeling as if Xi Luo was looking at him.

His daughter inherited Xiao Luo's beautiful eyes.

Li Yuan didn't even need DNA to be certain that the person lying on the bed in front of him was his child, a child who had inherited all the good qualities of him and Xiao Luo.

Li Yuan looked at Ji Zhinan, who was still unconscious, and noticed her beautiful and delicate features, which resembled his own.

In Gu Yibei's memory, although he had never seen the true appearance of the Warrens family patriarch before, legends about him had been circulating in the outside world.

Rumor has it that the previous patriarch of the Warrens clan died in that family war, along with many others from their lineage. Ling Yin Warrens single-handedly suppressed the rebellious collateral branches, stepping over their bodies to rise to the top and firmly sit in the position of patriarch.

After the great battle within the Warrens family, there were very few people he could trust. He personally took charge of the Warrens Group and, in just a few years, more than tripled its value. At a young age, he established his position within the Warrens family, which was truly admirable.

Such a successful entrepreneur, an outstanding family heir, a high-ranking king, one day he was buried in front of a young girl's sickbed, holding her hand, head bowed, shoulders trembling, crying...uncontrollably.

Gu Yibei went in about two hours later. When he heard the sound coming from the door, Li Yuan just blinked and then fell silent.

It was as if nothing else mattered to him anymore; all he wanted now was to protect his daughter, his precious daughter.

Gu Yibei stood beside Li Yuan and said, "Dad."

"..." Hearing the man address him so familiarly, Li Yuan frowned, and finally a different expression appeared on his face, one of utter disgust... couldn't be more thorough.

“I don’t have a son that old.”

After saying that, he turned his gaze back to his beloved daughter.

Gu Yibei: "..." It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

He hadn't realized it before, but now that his wife's father was back, and a really awesome one at that, Young Master Gu was quite panicked!

My father-in-law is not only very capable, but he's also very well-read and not easily fooled.

"Ahem..." Gu Yibei coughed, automatically skipping the way he addressed Li Yuan: "I just received a call that Grandpa has woken up."

"..." Upon hearing this, Li Yuan shifted his body.

His daughter had been living in the Ji family for many years, so Li Yuan naturally knew who the "grandfather" Gu Yibei was talking about was.

Li Yuan remained silent, while Gu Yibei continued, "So many years have passed, even if we investigate now, we can't distinguish between truth and falsehood. The events of that year can only be confirmed by those who experienced them."

Back then, Xi Luo escaped with Grandpa Ji. What happened afterward, and why Xi Luo entrusted her daughter to Grandpa Ji to raise, are things that only Grandpa Ji, besides Xi Luo, knows best.
