"Wanwan and I just found your daughter. We'll be at the resort hotel in ten minutes." Lu Jingyan resumed his languid demeanor, revealing no emotional fluctuation.
"Huh? My daughter? Okay!" For some inexplicable reason, he didn't argue, grabbed the car keys, and ran out.
"Oh dear... When will this kid learn to be more composed? He's scaring my heart!"
Chu Ningxuan's aunt, Chu Zhi, exaggeratedly clutched her chest, complaining that her nephew was not composed, and stared at his departing figure while complaining.
"Ning Xuan has always been like this since he was little, so loud and boisterous. He's getting on in years and still hasn't found a girlfriend." The old lady of the Chu family picked up her teacup and watched the figure disappear through the door.
"Mom, look, none of his friends are single anymore. Lu recently announced his girlfriend, and Mrs. Lu seems to be busy preparing for the wedding." Chu Zhi regained her elegant demeanor, fiddling with the tea set in front of her, her voice clear and gentle.
"Yes, Ning Xuan is always running around, and his dad and I are really worried. We heard that the Ji family's daughter is back, so why don't we give them a try?"
The one speaking was Chu Ningxuan's mother, who was sitting to the side sipping spring tea.
Hearing her sister-in-law's idea, Chu Zhi immediately became interested. "Sister-in-law, the Ji siblings are quite remarkable. The eldest, Ji Chu, became a medical professor at a young age and is now back in China to inherit the family business. Plus, he's on good terms with Ning Xuan."
"His youngest daughter is also very capable. A couple of years ago, she brought back two nearly bankrupt media companies owned by the Ji family and turned them into very successful businesses. They're riding high right now!"
"Really? Is that so? I've heard that his daughter is beautiful, studied abroad, and manages several companies." Chu's mother became more and more excited as she listened, wishing she could quickly bring Ji Meng home to see what kind of girl was so outstanding.
"There's such a great girl, maybe we could contact her and see if she's interested, cough cough..."
Old Madam Chu coughed lightly twice. Seeing this, Chu's mother quickly patted her back and said with concern, "Mom... your cough, which was getting better a while ago, has started to flare up again."
Old Madam Chu waved her hand, indicating that the two shouldn't worry, "It's an old ailment, it won't kill him..."
Seeing that her mother didn't care about her health, Chu Zhi blurted out in a fit of emotion, "Mom! Stop acting like you're dying all the time. You haven't even seen Ning Xuan get married and have children yet, and we still haven't found Xiao Yun..."
"Xiao Zhi!"
Chu Xiao strode into the living room, interrupting Chu Zhi before she could finish speaking.
“But brother, Xiaoyun has been gone for so many years, we must find her.” Chu Zhi’s eyes reddened.
“I know, but we haven’t known where she went all these years. If it weren’t for that person, she wouldn’t have left the Chu family.”
"We've used so much effort to search for it all these years, but we still haven't found it. Let's not give ourselves too much hope..." Chu Xiao lowered his eyes, a trace of sadness flashing in them.
"Enough... You lot still need to keep searching. Find Xiaoyun and bring her back to see me one last time before I die." Old Madam Chu's eyes flickered.
"Your father and I shouldn't have forced her back then. If it weren't for us, she wouldn't be in this situation... It's all my fault." Old Madam Chu's voice trembled slightly.
Chu Xiao and Chu Zhi watched their mother, who was blaming herself, from the side. "Mom..." Chu Zhi hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Mom, Ning Yi has been operating overseas for many years but hasn't been able to find any news about Xiao Yun. She might still be in China. Maybe the child is about the same age as Ning Xuan and the others now." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Chu's mother quickly spoke up to comfort the saddened group.
"And we were just talking about Ning Xuan's marriage. How about I contact Madam Ji later and arrange for the two children to meet?"
He winked at Chu Zhi, who immediately changed the subject after receiving his signal, "Yes, yes, there's something important right now, don't put it off."
When Grandma Chu heard her daughter-in-law mention Chu Ningxuan's marriage, she touched the corners of her moist eyes and said with a sigh, "You should first find out what the two young people think, so you don't repeat our mistakes."
"yes…"
After Chu Xiao helped Old Madam Chu upstairs, Chu Zhi took out her phone and dialed Madam Ji's number.
At that moment, Chu Ningxuan, who went to pick up his "daughter," felt a chill run down his spine and sneezed.
Hmm... who's thinking about me?
It was ten minutes later when they saw Lu Jingyan and Shi Wan again.
Shi Wan was holding a little girl in her arms, while Chu Yuan was tightly hugging Shi Wan's neck.
Looking at the three people standing in front of the villa from a distance, Chu Ningxuan clicked his tongue twice, thinking that they looked like a family of three.
While thinking, she sent a photo of the three of them to their group chat from a distance, and didn't forget to tag Lu Jingyan.
"Old Lu, you two are a perfect match!"
"Xiao Wan is full of maternal radiance."
Ji Chu: Whose child is it?
Chu Ningxuan: He said it was mine.
Zhao Zhilin: When did you have your illegitimate child?
Chu Ningxuan: Quickly spit it out! Your brother Chu is perfectly clean!
Lu Jingyan: You fucking come pick up your daughter right now, what are you doing standing so far away!
...
Chu Ningxuan awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and ran to the villa entrance.
At this moment, the little girl turned her head at Shi Wan's prompting. When Chu Yuan saw the person who came, her chubby little face smiled even more happily.
"Uncle!"
"Little Yuanyuan?"
The two spoke in unison, staring at each other intently.
Seeing their reactions, Lu Jingyan's gloomy face became even more sullen. He took Chu Yuan from Shi Wan's arms and handed her to Chu Ningxuan with a look of annoyance.
"Is this how your Chu family raises children?" Although she didn't get angry, Chu Ningxuan could still hear the gritted teeth in her voice.
"Haha, Brother Lu, don't mind. This is Chu family territory, nothing will happen. My elder brother and sister-in-law are too in love, they often forget about the kids when they're in love," Chu Ningxuan joked with a laugh.
"Get out of here..." With a low growl, Chu Ningxuan wisely picked up Chu Yuan and slipped away.
Shi Wan shook her head helplessly, wrapped her arms around the man's neck, and smiled, "Why are you so angry? Chu Ningxuan is here to pick you up."
Lu Jingyan gently pressed Shi Wan towards his body, then took the arm that had just been holding Chu Yuan and gently massaged it, his lowered eyes filled with tenderness.
"That little guy wouldn't let me hold him. I've been holding him for so long, my arms are getting sore, and you still won't let him down." He said, frowning from time to time.
“They’re used to it from kindergarten. Sometimes they can’t take care of both of them at the same time.” Shi Wan gently pressed her fingertips against Lu Jingyan’s furrowed brows.
"Besides, Chu Yuan is so cute, I like her very much. Her parents must love such a cute daughter very much."
“I just found out that Chu Ningyi has a child. With his personality, the fact that he can have such a lovely daughter means that his wife must be an interesting person as well.” Lu Jingyan looked up and tidied Shi Wan’s stray hairs, his eyes filled with tender affection.
"Yes...they were quite cute." Shi Wan stared at the direction where the two had long since disappeared and sighed softly.
“Wanwan… if you’re ready, we can…” Lu Jingyan pulled Shi Wan into his arms and tightened his grip slightly.
