Chapter 1811 - I, Fan Yu’s Woman (11)

His meeting today was a bit lengthy. The Little Glutinous Rice Ball had likely been awake for a long time already.⁠​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌⁠

She was afraid that if she couldn’t wait for him, he would get angry. Fan Yu was already considering how to coax her, but when he entered the lounge, he found it empty.

Not only was Xiao Liuliu missing, but the secretary assigned to her was also gone. Fan Yu turned around and walked out.

After leaving the lounge, he searched the office area outside again.

『Where is she?』

『President Fan, please don’t be anxious. There’s a secretary following the young miss. She’ll be fine. I’ll call and check!』

The assistant quickly pulled out his phone to dial.

『Not long after the meeting started, the young miss woke up. She refused to stay in the office no matter what. She insisted on having the secretary take her to the hospital. She said she was going to look for her pretty sister and her playmates there.』

『...』

Fan Yu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing she was unharmed and only focused on Qiao Yuanfei. He straightened his tie and turned to his desk.

『Is she still there?』

『Yes, the young miss is having fun with the children the hospital has taken in. She refuses to return for now.』

The assistant reported respectfully. Fan Yu’s previously relaxed expression darkened again.⁠​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌⁠

『It’s only been a few days?』

『Xiao Liuliu has stopped黏着 him. She only thinks about Qiao Yuanfei all day. Those who didn’t know would think they’re mother and daughter.』

Fan Yu’s long fingers tapped the table. He reached for his phone, stared at a number for a moment, and dialed.

When Qiao Yuanfei picked up, her voice was still slightly hoarse. After a brief hesitation, she asked, "Fan Yu?"⁠​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌⁠

Fan Yu coughed.

It was definitely her... Qiao Yuanfei quickly continued, "Xiao Liuliu is with me. I heard from your secretary that you want Xiao Liuliu to return, but she refused. I just told her she could stay with me if she wanted to. Please wait a while. We’ve already left the hospital and won’t be long before arriving at the Fan Corporation.』

Qiao Yuanfei finished her explanation. Fan Yu could only listen silently and hang up.

After sitting for a while, he grew impatient. Reaching out, he grabbed his suit jacket and left the office.⁠​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌⁠

He was prepared to bring Xiao Liuliu home after Qiao Yuanfei arranged for her transfer.

Although Yu Yuehan and Nian Xiaomu had left Xiao Liuliu with him, they weren’t completely unconcerned. He had promised to let Xiao Liuliu video chat with them tonight.

It would be better if they returned earlier.

When Fan Yu thought of this, he became much calmer.⁠​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌⁠

It was only when he calmed down that he realized his earlier emotions had been influenced by Qiao Yuanfei.

Though he didn’t want to admit it, the more he interacted with Qiao Yuanfei, the greater the change in his impression of her.

He had even started hesitating whether to help her contact Qi Yan. This wasn’t a good sign...

Fan Yu suddenly became aware of his thoughts and a complex expression flashed across his face.⁠​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌⁠

Before he could analyze it further, an exclamation came from the corridor.

Following that, a figure rushed in front of him.

『Director Fan, it’s me, Qiao Yuanchuan. We’ve met before. I’m now in charge of the Qiao Family’s business. I’ve just asked someone to report that the person wanting to see you is me!』

『...』

Fan Yu frowned, a flicker of impatience crossing his eyes. He raised his head and glanced at the person standing in front of him. His gaze caught on a woman hiding behind Qiao Yuanchuan, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
