Wan lightly sipped his tea, his thin lips curling slightly, relaxed and natural. He looked down at the chessboard on the table and said, "I want to leave. This has nothing to do with external factors; after all, this is not my hometown. I've been away for too long, and if I don't go back soon, I'll forget what it was like."
"Pearl has just recovered... Are you really going to leave? I just feel a bit reluctant!" Wu Qiang sighed.
"That's why someone like you is the capitalist who can achieve great things, exploiting me for so long without feeling guilty!" Wan said with a bitter smile, though his eyes still held a hint of amusement.
"How can that be!" Wu Qiang pretended to be angry and glared, "I plan to marry my daughter to you as a reward; it's you who are unwilling! There aren't many people in this world who refuse me, Wu Qiang! After being around my daughter for so long, haven't you noticed how adorable she is?"
"Yes, she is very adorable. I have always felt that Pearl is like family to me," Wan replied with a slight smile. "But love is something that involves two people; it cannot be imposed by outsiders. It cannot be forced. When Pearl's mind was muddled, her heart was only on Qing Wenyu, even though she didn't realize it at that time."
"Sigh! It's all a karmic debt!" Wu Qiang shook his head with a sigh. "I haven't seen any special feelings from Pearl towards that guy named Qing! Qing Wenyu is not the best choice; they come from different backgrounds. His father has a feud with the Song Family; how could he possibly agree to Qing Wenyu marrying Pearl?"
"Actually, that's quite easy!" Wan laughed. "As long as you declare that Song Pearl is your biological daughter, everything will be resolved. The emperor's daughter won't have trouble finding a husband, and there will be no shortage of suitors for Wu Boss's daughter."
"That's why I don't intend to acknowledge her; I just want to protect her. Perhaps only by not acknowledging me can she live a safe and happy life."
"Why are you always so cautious, Mr. Wu? Do you think someone would pose a threat to your father-daughter relationship?" Wan asked.
Wu Qiang replied slowly, "You know, Jin Zhi and I had no children. When Jin Zhi passed away, she left all her shares to me. I brought back Wu Yuqian, and the Jin Family showed no signs of hostility; they even acted very welcoming because they needed me to work for them. Although I shouldn't think this way, one must always be on guard..."
Wu Qiang let out a breath. He remembered in his past life that with just one Song Zhenbao, it was absolutely impossible for any trouble to arise under his nose; in the end, he had been too careless.
"I have already told Pearl that she is your daughter; she hasn't contacted or questioned me about it. This aligns very well with her character; she endures all hardships alone," Wan said.
"I also hope Pearl will privately seek me out for a talk; that would prove she knows how to actively pursue her own happiness..." Wu Qiang's lips revealed a hint of a bitter smile.
"If she never looks for you, are you not planning to go public?" Wan stared at Wu Qiang, somewhat confused by this father.
"Well, it depends on the timing," Wu Qiang said as he took a sip of his tea and refilled his cup, smiling at Wan. "If you agree to be with Zhenzhu, then I can recognize her openly because I trust you to protect her."
Wan remained calm and composed. "What about now?"
"Right now, I can only wait for someone who truly loves her and treats her well to appear. I hope that the person who ultimately chooses Zhenzhu will only have eyes for her and no one else."
"From my observation, Qing Wenyu is a decent person. Why are you so opposed to him?"
"You are mistaken; I am not opposed to him. Although he is a bit more utilitarian than you, if he genuinely cares for Zhenzhu, I would be very happy. When will you come back after you leave?" Wu Qiang did not want to continue that topic. He looked at Wan with reluctance and said, "I hope to see you again in my lifetime."
"Why so bleak?" Wan laughed, raising his clear eyes. "You are still so young; the days of enjoying life are ahead of you! If nothing unexpected happens, I will come back to see you and Zhenzhu. Take care!"
"Alright, if there’s nothing happening at home, come back as soon as possible. I still hope that you can be with Zhenzhu..." Wu Qiang playfully winked.
After Wan left, Wu Qiang looked at several missed calls displayed on his phone. After sitting for a while, he picked up the phone and called back.
"Dad, how are you now? Have you finished dealing with work?" The gentle and sweet voice of Wu Yuqian came from the other end of the line.
"Yes, I've almost finished. Are you getting used to life at the Resort?" Wu Qiang asked kindly.
"It's great! The food is purely organic vegetables and fresh wild delicacies; the place is like a paradise on earth. I'm almost reluctant to leave!" Wu Yuqian giggled. "Zhenzhu is really capable; she managed to make the Resort this good! Dad, if I take over the management of the Resort, will I do better than Zhenzhu?"
"Of course, but you currently lack experience. Make sure to learn well from Song Pearl. Do you really want to manage this Resort yourself? Aren't you afraid of the hard work?" Wu Qiang held the phone, a gentle smile on his lips. "Dad can't bear to see you struggle!"
"I will definitely learn well from Song Pearl," Wu Yuqian replied cheerfully. She understood her father's caring nature very well; in her past life, Wu Qiang was just like this with Song Pearl, unwilling to let her do anything. He wanted the stars but wouldn't give the moon, which led to Song Pearl becoming spoiled, weak, and ignorant, even arrogantly taking her boyfriend away... In this life, with their identities swapped, she, Song Zhenbao, as Wu Qiang's precious daughter, would absolutely not be as useless as Song Pearl.
"Dad, Hongqing's anniversary celebration has invited you too. I saw their guest list; you're still a very important guest. Are you coming back to attend?" Wu Yuqian asked.
Wu Qiang frowned slightly. At Hongqing's anniversary celebration, Qing Yuansheng might express intentions of marrying his daughter. Should he go or not?
"How did you see Hongqing's internal guest list? You didn't use your connection with Hongqing and Jinmai Group to ask for it, did you? That wouldn't be good!"
"Of course not!" Wu Yuqian said proudly. "Dad, you think too highly of me. Song Pearl has arranged for me to be in charge of Hongqing's anniversary celebration at the Resort, so I got this internal information without involving Jinmai Group at all!"
"Song Pearl actually assigned you to handle Hongqing's annual meeting?" Wu Qiang was surprised and spoke with some anger. "I told you to go on vacation! You've only been there a few days, and this Song Pearl dares to assign you work? She really doesn't take me as the chairman seriously!"
Wu Yuqian quickly explained for Song Pearl: "Dad, please don't blame Song Pearl. She's just overwhelmed with too many things and needed my help. Besides, I actively asked Song Pearl for this responsibility. If you want to criticize someone, criticize me; don't blame her!"
Wu Yuqian said this while feeling delighted inside. She guessed that at this moment, Wu Qiang's fondness for Song Pearl had likely diminished.
