Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

The entire conference room was deathly silent.

Old Zhou sat back down in his chair, and the opposition shareholders next to him silently withdrew their hands.

Businessmen are driven by profit, and they are indeed from different factions than Xia Wantang; some even harbor personal grudges against each other.

However, no one would turn down money.

The reason they opposed Xia Wantang becoming president was simple: in their view, a woman was completely incapable of accomplishing anything.

Rather than letting Baihua Group be ruined by a woman, it's better to promote someone more capable.

Even worse, they didn't even consider whether the successor was capable; they only thought about splitting up and selling the company before Baihua Group fell into decline, thereby maximizing their profits.

But now, things are clearly moving in a better direction.

Moreover, since the leaders had given up their opposition, the rest of the people naturally wouldn't join in the fun.

"The board of directors voted to approve that, effective today, Chu Nan will officially assume the role of Chief Physician of Baihua Group, and the R&D department will report directly to Chu Nan."

After the meeting adjourned, the directors left the conference room one after another.

Xu Yi walked up to Chu Nan, extended his hand, and said, "Little Chu, congratulations."

Xia Wantang said gratefully from the side, "Uncle Xu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you today—"

Xu Yi waved his hand, "I didn't say those things because of you, but because of the facts. Nantang Jade Skin Powder truly deserves this position. I was just clarifying the accounts for everyone here."

As he released Chu Nan's hand, he said, "Xiao Ran is recovering well after being discharged from the hospital. She's been talking about her angel daddy a lot lately. If you have time, go and see her."

Xia Wantang, arm in arm with Chu Nan, looked at Xu Yi with a beaming smile, "Of course, of course, he's free today!"

"Then it's settled. I'll go downstairs and have someone drive the car."

After Xu Yi left the meeting room, Xia Wantang whispered in Chu Nan's ear, "My little cutie, I still have a lot of things to take care of today, so I'll just stay home and get all clean and ready to wait for you~"

She deliberately emphasized the words "wash yourself clean," then released his arm and turned to walk towards her office.

After walking a few steps, she turned back and winked at him.

This startled Chu Nan again; he hadn't been able to do it before, but now he was.

Should we eat this fairy or not?

……

The Xu family's villa is located on a quiet street in the old town of Beihai.

As the car drove into the yard, Chu Nan saw through the car window a figure wearing a white cotton dress leaning against the French windows in the living room.

As soon as the car drove in, the figure sprang up from the window, and a few seconds later, the door was pushed open from the inside.

"Angel Daddy!"

Xu Ran ran out of the living room and buried herself in Chu Nan's arms.

Her hair was tied into two small braids, and her cheeks were rosy, making her look completely different from when she was unconscious in the ward last time.

Xu Yi got out of the car from the other side, and said in a panic, "Xiao Ran, don't run so fast, be careful not to fall."

"No! My angel daddy will catch me!"

Xu Ran looked up at Chu Nan, her clear eyes filled with unwavering trust.

"Xiao Ran, let your angel dad sit down and have a drink of water first. Don't pull him down."

Xu Yi stood to the side, his tone reproachful, but his expression was clearly one of a smile.

"Oh right! Angel Daddy, please have a seat!"

Xu Ran pressed Chu Nan down onto the sofa, then climbed up herself, sat down next to him, and looked up at him. "Angel Daddy, can you spend a little more time with me today?"

"I was still asleep when you came to see me last time. You left as soon as I woke up. Don't go fighting bad guys alone anymore. Let Angel Mom go with you."

"it is good."

Looking at her earnest little face, Chu Nan reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head.

Xu Yi placed the teacup on the coffee table, glanced at Chu Nan, then turned to Xu Ran, speaking in a very soft tone.

"Xiao Ran, your angel daddy is here today to check on your health. Will you cooperate and be a good girl?"

Xu Ran's smile vanished instantly. She shrank closer to Chu Nan, gripping his sleeves tightly with both hands, her voice filled with barely concealed nervousness.

"I don't want to be examined! Last time, the doctor pricked me with a needle, it hurt so much!"

"Xiaoran——"

"don't want!"

Xu Ran buried her face in Chu Nan's arm, her voice muffled, "Angel Daddy, tell Daddy I don't want to get checked."

Chu Nan could feel her fingers, which were gripping his sleeve, trembling slightly.

He bent down to bring his line of sight to hers, then smiled and spoke very softly.

"Who said there was a check-up today? I'm just here to play with you. Didn't you say you drew a lot of pictures to show me?"

Xu Ran peeked half her face out from Chu Nan's arm, blinked twice, and then looked at Xu Yi standing next to her, as if to confirm whether she was really safe.

Chu Nan looked up and gave Xu Yi a reassuring look.

Xu Yi has spent most of his life in the business world and has seen too many situations where people understand each other without even exchanging glances.

He swallowed back what he was about to say, picked up his teacup again, and sat down on the sofa opposite him.

Having received Chu Nan's assurance, Xu Ran immediately regained her energy.

She jumped off the sofa, grabbed Chu Nan's hand, and pulled him toward the coffee table, introducing her paintings to him one by one.

This picture shows the angel dad flying, this picture shows the angel mom cooking, and this picture shows the three of them planting flowers in the garden.

Her voice was clear and cheerful, completely different from the little girl who had cowered at the mention of the word "inspection".

Chu Nan accompanied her to draw for a while, and then played with her in the yard.

Xu Ran's laughter drifted in the afternoon sunlight, like a string of bells scattered by the wind.

However, her physical strength had not fully recovered. After playing for a while, her face began to look tired, and she even started to yawn.

"Tired?"

Chu Nan squatted down and looked at her.

"Not sleepy."

Xu Ran rubbed her eyes, but her eyelids were already drooping.

"Go take a nap, and I'll take you out to fly a kite next time."

"Really?"

Xu Ran's eyes lit up immediately, but her voice had become soft and weak.

"real."

"Okay, then I'll listen to Angel Daddy and go rest for a while."

Xu Ran finally gave in, and she took the nanny's hand as she walked upstairs, looking back every few steps.

She stopped at the corner of the stairs, turned back to look at Chu Nan, and said, "Angel Daddy, don't sneak away while I'm asleep~"

"I'm not leaving."

"Then you'll have to wait here for me to wake up."

"it is good."

Xu Ran nodded in satisfaction and followed the nanny into her room.

The bedroom door closed gently, and the hallway fell silent, save for the ticking of the clock in the living room downstairs.

Chu Nan went downstairs and sat down opposite Xu Yi. "Uncle Xu, I already took Xiao Ran's pulse when I was playing with her earlier."

"How is the situation? Is there any possibility of a cure?"

Xu Yi's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

But Chu Nan's answer was completely unexpected: "Xiao Ran's illness may... not be congenital."
