Charleson saw this scene as soon as he entered.
He had been by Mr. Warren's side for over a decade, and in his memory, Mr. Warren was cold and aloof. Apart from Eddie, no one else could sense any emotion from Mr. Warren other than his cold-heartedness.
Having managed the Warrens family for twenty years, he had seen through the scheming of people's hearts and the coldness of the world. He had long been accustomed to indifference, as if a thick layer of ice had solidified on his body, separating him from the world.
Even with young master Eddie, the master was more strict than lenient. This was the first time Charleson had seen the master smile at someone, and such a warm smile at that.
Like the spring breeze in March, warm and gentle.
Charleson was stunned.
"Nan Nan!" The voice at the ward door interrupted the brief time the father and daughter spent together.
Xing Fei was also wearing a hospital gown, and her hands were covered with medical tape, looking like she had just finished an IV drip and rushed over.
Seeing Ji Zhinan sitting awake on the hospital bed, Xing Fei's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She sniffed and quickened her pace as she rushed into the ward.
“Nan Nan…”
After all, she was Xing Minggao's little princess who had been pampered for many years. This was her first time experiencing something like this, and it inevitably left a shadow in her heart.
Li Yuan's dark eyes fell on the doorway of the ward. Charleson nodded slightly, his attitude respectful: "Sir."
He stood up, placed the porridge on the table, stroked Ji Zhinan's soft hair, and smiled warmly, instructing her affectionately, "Daddy is going outside to talk to Uncle Charleson. Call Daddy if you need anything."
Xing Fei looked at Li Yuan with red eyes and said, "Hello, Uncle Li Yuan."
Although it was a bit strange to call such a young man "uncle," he was, after all, Nan Nan's father, and the generational order couldn't be messed up.
Li Yuan simply nodded, without saying much. Giving them ample space to speak, he strode briskly out of the ward.
"Bang."
Hearing the door close, Xing Fei glanced at the doorway again before turning her gaze to Ji Zhinan: "Nannan, are you alright?"
Ji Zhinan shook his head.
She dodged quickly; nothing serious happened.
Aside from a slightly swollen face from being slapped and a sprained leg from falling while running to find someone, Xing Fei was otherwise fine.
"Xiao Fei, thank you," Ji Zhinan suddenly said.
While eating porridge, Li Yuan told Ji Zhinan that it was fortunate Xing Fei saw Li Yuan and called out to him, otherwise Li Yuan would not have known that he had a daughter.
Li Yuan had already prepared a private plane to return to Europe. If it weren't for this incident, with one in Europe and the other in Asia, the father and daughter might never have had the chance to meet again.
Xing Fei was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood why Ji Zhinan wanted to thank her. She waved her hand and said seriously, "If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you. It's all my fault for dragging you into this mess..."
Ji Zhinan smiled slightly.
It's hard to say who implicated whom in this matter; if we really have to pinpoint it, it's all a grudge between her and Cao Nana. Xing Fei was initially held in Cao Nana's sway because of a verbal conflict between them, and Cao Nana even kidnapped her this time to threaten her.
"Has Uncle Xing arrived?"
Upon hearing Ji Zhinan's question, Xing Fei immediately touched her nose guiltily, her eyes darting around.
"Actually... I didn't tell my parents."
"?"
Xing Fei pursed her lips and said softly, "The company is doing better and better now, and Dad has been very busy lately. I don't want them to worry."
