The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1882: Chapter 1882: Finally Couldn’t Hold Back Anymore

Shortly after Chu Liyuan left, Chu Li’s phone rang. The person calling him was none other than Jian Dan, currently at Li Garden.

"Uncle, why haven’t you come back so late?"

"Why are you still awake so late?" Chu Liyuan spoke indifferently, with no hint of emotional change in his tone.

"Uncle, you’ve been working so late every day these past few days. How can your body take it?" Her tone was filled with deep concern.

"The company matters have indeed been quite numerous these days. It’s alright, I’ll pay attention to my schedule. You shouldn’t stay up too late; go rest early!" After saying that, and without giving Jian Dan a chance to respond, he hung up the phone.

Jian Dan, who was hung up on, unconsciously furrowed her brows, a sense of foreboding welling up in her heart.

After hanging up, Chu Liyuan, with his elbows propped on the table and his hands supporting his temples, looked dejectedly at the desktop.

Ever since Chu Liyuan brought Jian Dan back from the fishing village, he had been in an extremely excited state, not noticing any problems at all, until...

When he was about to get intimate with her, he suddenly felt a sense of disgust. How long had it been since he last felt this way?

Whenever he faced Jian Jian before, even if Jian Jian did nothing, he couldn’t resist her at all. But now...

He thought about this matter for a long time, considering various reasons, and finally reached a conclusion: this woman is not his Jian Jian, but merely a woman with an identical face.

When he realized this, he recalled Jian Xiaokai’s reaction the day Jian Dan was introduced to him, leading him to confirm with Jian Xiaokai in the middle of the night.

Jian Xiaokai, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, looked up at Chu Liyuan and simply said, "She’s not Mom," and then fell silent again.

Though he knew she might not be his Jian Jian, Chu Liyuan didn’t expose her.

As for why he didn’t expose her, perhaps even he himself hadn’t figured it out.

Deep down, Chu Liyuan couldn’t accept the fact that Jian Jian had left him. As long as this woman stayed by his side, he could deceive himself for another day.

Deceive himself that Jian Jian hadn’t left him!

While he was internally tormented, Ying suddenly pushed the door open. "Li, I have a clue!"

"What? What clue? Did you find him?" Chu Liyuan finally looked up at Ying, revealing the only hint of a smile he had shown in days.

"Yes, previously he had always vanished without a trace, but recently he went through great lengths to find someone—Kelsey!" Ying reported the findings to Chu Liyuan.

"Kelsey? You mean the most famous plastic surgeon in the world? Didn’t he retire? Why is he looking for him?" Chu Liyuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

"We haven’t found out yet. I originally wanted to bring the person back before he did, but he managed to find them first." Ying spoke with a sense of self-reproach.

"So it’s him who did it." Chu Liyuan’s eyes turned dark as he looked at the floor and spoke.

At that moment, Chu Liyuan’s phone suddenly rang, "Hello..."

"She’s gone out!" A man’s voice came from the other end.

Chu Liyuan squinted his eyes deeply. Besides not exposing the impostor out of selfishness, he had another reason: he couldn’t believe such a coincidence could exist in this world. There had to be someone orchestrating everything from behind.

Now, he finally couldn’t stand it any longer...

"Follow her closely, I’m coming right over!"

Afterward, Chu Liyuan left the office with Ying. As soon as the office door opened, Jian Jian reflexively popped up from her desk upon seeing Chu Liyuan and Ying hurriedly getting into the elevator, and she quickly followed them...

The author has something to say: After a year of writing, the novel is finally nearing completion. Honestly, I feel a bit reluctant. Thank you to the readers, the babies, for your support and love over the past year. Love you all!
