Nan Yuanman's facial features are similar to Bai Wenyin's, but her eyebrows and eyes are more like her biological father's.
However, she had never seen her father since birth, so she had no point of reference and didn't care about it.
Unlike Feng Yuli, Feng Yuli has spent the most time with Feng Congqian over the years since Feng Congqian fell into a coma for unknown reasons.
So he could tell at a glance that the little brat who threw the shoe at him had a face that was just a miniature version of Feng Congqian, with the lower half of his face covered.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time.
Feng Yuli squatted down, his slender, well-defined fingers picking up the worn-out cloth shoes from the ground. He held them up and waved them in front of Nan Yuanman: "Kid, are these yours?"
"Oh, big brother, I'm so sorry, I accidentally hit you." Nan Yuanman realized what had happened and jumped off the bench while apologizing.
She wasn't wearing a shoe on one foot, and the hospital corridor floor was slippery. When she jumped down, her foot slipped and she slid forward.
Nan Yuanman subconsciously steadied herself, but the more steadied she became, the more slippery the ground became, until finally she fell with a thud right in front of Feng Yuli, her chubby face directly hitting his calf.
Nan Yuanman: "...qAq".
My nose hurts so much!
She sat on the ground, covering her sore nose, and looked at Feng Yuli with teary eyes, apologizing in a childish voice: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Feng Yuli looked at the clumsy child, his expression indescribable.
If it weren't for the girl's honest and upright appearance, he would have thought she was trying to scam him.
"Did you hurt yourself?" Feng Yuli awkwardly picked up Nan Yuanman with one hand and gently pulled away her hand that was covering her nose. "Let me see."
The little girl bumped into it with a bit too much force. The cub's skin was so delicate, and its nose was red from the impact. Plus, its eyes were full of tears, making it look incredibly pitiful.
Feng Yuli's heart softened suddenly, and he reached out and gently rubbed her skin: "Do you want to get a checkup?"
This child is quite well-behaved. He didn't cry loudly like other children when he bumped his nose. He's so sensible that it's a little heartbreaking.
The bodyguards following behind Feng Yuli stared wide-eyed.
One of the bodyguards even pulled down his sunglasses a crack, staring in utter shock at Feng Yuli, who was holding the child.
The sun must have risen in the west today!
The eldest son, who hates children the most, actually picked up a child on his own initiative!
Nan Yuanman felt a little uncomfortable from his rubbing, and her chubby little hands gripped his wrist. Before she could speak, Jiang Lixuan's voice came urgently: "Yuanman!"
"Who are you? Why are you bullying my child! Put her down right now!"
Jiang Lixuan was in a state of emotional repression when he suddenly saw Nan Yuanman being held in the arms of a strange man, her nose and eyes red, looking like she had been bullied terribly. He instantly exploded.
He rushed forward while shouting, staring warily at Feng Yuli, and reached out to snatch Nan Yuanman from his hands.
Feng Yuli, holding Nan Yuanman, took a step back, dodging Jiang Lixuan's hand. He raised an eyebrow and scrutinized the man who had suddenly appeared: "Are you the parent of this child?"
Before Jiang Lixuan could speak, Feng Yuli launched into a tirade: "How can you be such a parent? A hospital is such a chaotic place, and you just leave your child here all by herself. What if she gets kidnapped?"
“Your clothes look quite nice, but the shoes you prepared for the child are so worn out and don’t fit properly. I have a reasonable suspicion that you are abusing the child behind my back.”
Jiang Lixuan was scolded harshly, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Nan Yuanman's feet, where only one shoe remained, which she had worn from the countryside.
He then remembered that he only remembered asking Butler Li to prepare clothes for Nan Yuanman, but he hadn't arranged for shoes yet.
Jiang Lixuan looked annoyed and felt even more guilty towards Nan Yuanman, but he didn't want to be at a disadvantage in front of this strange man, so he said, "Don't make false accusations. I love her too much to mistreat her. Yuanman, come here, come to your uncle."
He didn't know why, but the moment he saw this strange man, Jiang Lixuan couldn't help but feel disgusted and wary, and he didn't want Nan Yuanman to spend any more time with him.
Feng Yuli's eyes narrowed slightly. This man was her uncle? Not her biological father?
He looked at Nan Yuanman's eyebrows and eyes, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Nan Yuanman was surprised that this stranger would scold Jiang Lixuan for her sake. She was stunned for a moment. Looking at Jiang Lixuan's red eyes, as if he would cry if she refused, she hesitated for a moment and gently patted Feng Yuli's arm: "Thank you, big brother. He, um... is my family. Please put me down."
Then, with a serious little face, she said to Jiang Lixuan, "Jiang Lixuan, big brother didn't bully me. My shoe accidentally flew out and hit him. Don't wrong him."
Jiang Lixuan pursed his lips: "I understand."
Feng Yuli didn't put Nan Yuanman down immediately. He held her with one arm and used the other to hold her shoes, skillfully putting them back on for her.
Meng Qinian, who had gone to the restroom, rushed out at that moment, pulling at his pants as he shouted to Nan Yuanman from afar, "Yuanman, I'm all done—all done?"
When Meng Qinian saw Feng Yuli holding Nan Yuanman, he braked suddenly and turned to run away.
Feng Yuli paused for a moment, then instantly understood what was happening, and said in a calm voice, "Stop."
Meng Qinian stopped in his tracks, turned around timidly, and gave Feng Yuli a fawning smile: "Big cousin, it's been a long time."
“Not long ago, we met just half a year ago.” Feng Yuli gently placed Nan Yuanman on the ground. Nan Yuanman looked at the two of them and then remembered that the older brother she had hit with her shoe was the same person she had seen outside the hospital today!
Jiang Lixuan stepped forward and picked up Nan Yuanman, asking warily, "Do you two know each other?"
Meng Qinian scratched his head: "I know him."
"In that case, I'll take Yuanman back first and won't disturb your reunion." Jiang Lixuan said with a tense expression, while arranging for the coach to deal with Lin Chenyi's matter.
He was so traumatized today that he was completely exhausted and didn't want to continue socializing. He just wanted to take Nan Yuanman back to sit down and think about how to deal with Jiang Yueyao.
"Hey! No! I need to take Yuanman home!" Meng Qinian yelled and tried to follow, but Feng Yuli grabbed him by the back of his collar.
Feng Yuli gave him a 'kind' smile: "Cousin, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I've come all this way to S City, shouldn't you show me some hospitality?"
Meng Qinian: "..."
Meng Qinian: qAq Perfection, please save me!
Nan Yuanman perched on Jiang Lixuan's shoulder, waving her paws at Meng Qinian like a lucky cat, before tilting her head to look at Feng Yuli, a hint of confusion and doubt flashing in her eyes.
Did she see it wrong?
She thought she had just seen a kinship line between herself and this unfamiliar older brother.
You must have misread it. Grandpa said that Mom only gave birth to her and had no other children, so how could she have an older brother?
That's it.
Nan Yuanman, clutching her small satchel, looked dejected. "Grandpa, it seems Yuanman's divination went wrong."
-
Even after Jiang Lixuan led her to the car, Nan Yuanman still looked worried.
Jiang Lixuan glanced at her again and again, and couldn't help but ask, "Yuanman, have you already foreseen this?"
"I...wrongly accused your mother."
