Everything from the dream was still playing in my mind like a movie. My terrified eyes slowly calmed down, and I saw a clean and white ward. Sunlight streamed in through the window, and everything was clear and bright.
Li Yuan then belatedly realized that he had just had a nightmare.
Suddenly remembering something, he immediately looked towards the hospital bed, only to see that Ji Zhinan had already woken up and was staring at him.
When he saw him looking over, Ji Zhinan shrank back, unable to hide the grievance in his eyes, a look of wanting to get close to Li Yuan but not daring to.
This was the first time he had ever seen his daughter look at him like that.
Li Yuan felt a dull ache in his heart. He held her cold little hand and, for the first time, desperately wanted to explain.
"Nan Nan, I'm sorry. Dad... Dad didn't mean it, Dad was drunk..."
I wanted to explain, but found that saying anything would be futile.
Ji Zhinan looked at him, and after a long while, she cautiously asked, "Will you not want me?"
Luo Ling was sent by the Luo family to control him, and it was also a joint effort between the Luo family and Ferenc. The Luo family also bears half the responsibility for the death of the old patriarch.
In her previous life, Ji Zhinan never knew her true identity until her death. In this life, she discovered that she might just be a tool used by Luo Ling to scheme against Li Yuan.
"..." Li Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect his daughter to ask such a question.
"No!" Coming to his senses, Li Yuan immediately replied, his tone extremely firm.
He looked at Ji Zhinan earnestly: "You are Dad's precious daughter. No matter what, you will always be Dad's only daughter."
His ill-fated relationship with Luo Ling was their own affair and had nothing to do with the child. He had loved Xi Luo for over twenty years, and even if he only now realized that her appearance was just an attempt to control him and kill him, he would accept it.
Nan Nan is his child, and she will be for life. He is willing to spoil her for the rest of his life, and no grudges can destroy the bond between father and daughter.
"..." Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Ji Zhinan felt a lump in her throat.
Ji Zhinan had never experienced care or concern from anyone other than her grandfather since she was a child, so she always treated others with indifference.
People who seem more aloof often value relationships the most.
If Li Yuan really doesn't want her anymore, she'll probably break down.
Seeing his daughter's red eyes, Li Yuan's heart was in complete turmoil. He quickly stood up and bent down to hug her, but Ji Zhinan tightly wrapped her arms around his narrow waist and buried her face in his broad chest.
Her voice was thick with tears: "I thought you didn't want me anymore..."
That look in her eyes really hurt her.
Li Yuan felt extremely sorry for you: "Don't cry, how could Daddy bear to abandon you?"
Eddie, standing at the door, finally smiled when he saw the scene inside.
Gu Yibei also curled his lips and winked at Eddie: "Nannan hasn't had breakfast yet, shall we go down and check on her?"
“Okay.” Eddie nodded happily and went downstairs with Gu Yibei.
…………
In the afternoon, Qin Yu took Ji Zhinan for a complete physical examination because Li Yuan was really worried and insisted on a full check-up.
Eddie went along, while Li Yuan went to the rooftop to relax.
When Gu Yibei went up, he was leaning on the railing, staring blankly in a certain direction.
He strode over, took out his newly bought cigarettes from his pocket, opened them, took out one, and handed it to Li Yuan.
Seeing the cigarette in front of him, Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still took it. Gu Yibei lit it for him.
I took a deep breath, and the taste of nicotine boiled in my lungs.
