"Dad, I understand what you mean, but let's just let things take their course from now on."
Her relationship with Mo Shiyan was already so close that it felt like family; taking it a step further and becoming lovers would be far too difficult for her.
She didn't want her father to worry, so she could only deal with it for now, and deal with the future later.
"Okay, it's not that Dad is forcing you to do anything. If Ji Yan no longer has a place in your heart, then you need to be decisive and not have any further involvement with him."
"I understand, I'll be careful, don't worry, Dad."
After lunch, Lu Qing left the hospital. Lu Ci was not in Country A recently, and there were still many things at the company that he needed to handle.
Meanwhile, Anhe hurriedly returned to the hotel, and only when she entered the room and saw that Ji Ming was still waiting for her did she feel a little relieved.
Why did you come looking for me?
"Can't I come? Who told you to leave without a word, without even telling me?" Ji Ming's tone was quite reproachful.
He came all this way to see her, and she not only showed no gratitude but also spoke to him in this tone.
"I was just a little anxious, wasn't I? Bu Yi got sick, and it happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to tell you first."
Upon hearing the mention of Buyi, Ji Ming's expression immediately changed, and he asked with a hint of disbelief, "Is Buyi really Yingying's daughter?"
"How could something like this be fake? But you have to keep this a secret from your son, understand?"
Otherwise, given Ji Yan's personality, he might run off to Country A and cause a real mess, which would be difficult to handle.
"I know what's important, and I won't tell him about this, but I probably won't be able to keep it from him for long."
Ji Ming knew very well that Ji Yan had been very intelligent since childhood, and he could find out anything Ji Yan wanted to know very quickly.
Anhe nodded in agreement, "Let's keep it a secret for as long as possible. I'm really afraid he'll do something shocking when he finds out."
Where is the child's father?
He just quietly married his daughter. Did he, as the father, agree to it?
"The child's father...did not marry Yingying, so Yingying is a single mother."
"What?" Ji Ming stood up abruptly, his eyes almost overflowing with anger. "Which damned bastard is it? I'm going to kill him."
The Ji family's daughter is so wonderful, yet that scoundrel didn't know how to cherish her and abandoned her after seducing her.
No, he had to find this man. Yingying could swallow this insult, but he couldn't.
"Sigh!" Anhe couldn't help but sigh. "I think that man might be Mo Shiyan, the president of Country A. He's a rising star and not someone to be trifled with."
"You're saying the child's father is Mo Shiyan? Then what reason does he have to abandon Yingying?"
"Perhaps he still likes Yingying, but his status restricts him, and he has no choice in the matter."
After all, anyone with a keen eye could easily find out that Yingying was in a relationship with her brother and had a child.
Once Mo Shiyan marries Yingying and this matter is exposed, his presidency will be over.
Given the choice between career prospects and women, how many people in this world would choose women? After all, with a promising future, what kind of woman can't you have?
Even so, Ji Ming still couldn't swallow his anger. "If that's the case, he shouldn't have bothered Yingying in the first place."
"Alright, Yingying isn't a child anymore. She knows what she wants, so don't overthink it."
Anhe patiently comforted Ji Ming for a long time before he finally relented and said he wouldn't go to settle scores with Mo Shiyan in private.
Country C, Mingxiao Hall.
Xingchu sat in a rocking chair in the garden, repeatedly zooming in on the photo in her hands, her eyes filled with growing doubt.
Whose child is this?
Why would Ji Fuying go to the hospital to take care of a child?
Could it be Lu Ci and Lu Ang's child?
Impossible. Neither of them has a girlfriend, so how could they suddenly have a child?
Moreover, given how much the Lu family values this child, she must be a member of the Lu family. So, whose child is she?
A bold idea took root in her mind: "Could it be Ji Fuying's child? But she did have a miscarriage three years ago. Could it be... her child with someone else?"
Thinking of this, her eyes became unusually excited. "If that's really the case, Ji Yan will go crazy if he finds out. If you won't let me have an easy time, I won't let you have an easy time either."
That evening, Ji Yan, who was still handling official business at the Ji Group, received an anonymous text message containing several photos of children.
What surprised him most was that Yingying was actually taking care of the child herself, and the intimacy between the two showed that their relationship was far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Who is this child?" He stared at the photo, somewhat lost in thought. He had never seen this child before, but why did he feel a sense of familiarity?
Who sent him this anonymous text message, and what was their purpose?
"Han Xiao".
Han Xiao was eating a cookie someone had given him at the door. When he heard President Ji call him, he quickly swallowed the cookie and ran inside, patting his chest.
"Mr. Ji, what are your instructions?"
"Go and find out who this child is and what his relationship is with Yingying." Ji Yan sent the photo to Han Xiao.
"Yes." Han Xiao walked out of the president's office without thinking, staring blankly at the photo on his phone. "This kid looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."
But he was always by President Ji's side, running around day and night, so how could he have known such a delicate and lovely little girl?
Instead of wasting time overthinking here, he should hurry up and find out her identity. He can afford to wait, but President Ji can't.
Ji Yan, who was in the office, could no longer sit still and had no interest in handling official business.
The little girl gave him a very bad feeling; she looked almost exactly like Yingying when she was a child.
Could it be a coincidence?
Or it's just a fact he can't accept.
Yingying, please, please don't do this to me. That child can't be yours, or I'll really go crazy.
He always thought he could let go, but now he realizes that letting go is easy to say but incredibly difficult to do.
He can be punished however he wants for the mistakes he made, even if it costs him his life, but he really can't accept this fact.
With trepidation, Han Xiao finally returned. He had a long face on his face from the moment he came in, and hesitated to speak.
"Han Xiao, that child...who is she?"
Even though he already knew, he still asked one more question, hoping there might still be a chance.
