Chapter 2873: Chapter 2873: A Perfect Missed Chance (Part 1)

Later on, he began to see himself as the princess’s knight...

Protecting Meimei had become instinctive.

The youthful days are always filled with memories. Sometimes even he, himself, doesn’t know whether he feels more pity or affection for Meimei.

Meimei is different from all of them.

Although they might have grown up without their parents’ company, they never lacked fatherly love. Meimei’s obedience and understanding, like a mirror, reflect their happiness and discontent.

Her tears always stir the softness in his heart, making him want to protect her.

Later, this feeling of pity naturally transformed into affection, and he wanted to protect her, to always protect her.

But he still failed to protect her, letting her endure so much pain...

Looking at the deep purple bruises on her arm, Jiang Nan’s gaze darkened as he placed her hand under the blanket, tucking her in before standing up beside the bed.

Pulling the curtains more tightly shut, he then stepped out of the rest room.

"Sir, Mr. Tingye is here again, saying he wants to see Miss Youyou." The assistant, standing guard outside the door, quickly approached when he saw Jiang Nan come out.

"See Youyou?" Jiang Nan frowned.

He thought Dan Tingye was here to find Meimei. Why did he want to see Youyou?

"Where’s Youyou?"

As Jiang Nan returned to his senses, he realized that he hadn’t seen Youyou since returning to the boxing gym. That Little Chili had run off somewhere again, truly causing anxiety.

"Miss Youyou left with Mr. Tingye and hasn’t returned since. I tried contacting her, but her phone is off," the assistant reported respectfully.

"Sir, Mr. Tingye is right outside. Would you like to see him?"

"If I say I don’t want to see him, can you stop him?" Jiang Nan’s mouth curled in self-mockery as he stepped towards his office.

Just as he reached the office, he saw Dan Tingye’s tall and handsome figure already standing in the doorway.

He stood against the light, his tall silhouette seeming to bathe in holy light. Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned around to look at Jiang Nan.

Their gazes met, and neither spoke first.

"Youyou is not here," Jiang Nan spoke softly after a long silence.

"Then where’s Meimei?" Dan Tingye’s thin lips slightly parted, his deep black eyes seeming to search Jiang Nan for answers.

"..."

Jiang Nan’s hand clenched by his side, his long eyes slightly narrowing as he pursed his lips, without responding.

He didn’t want to hide from Dan Tingye, and he couldn’t, but Meimei didn’t want to see him right now. He couldn’t let Meimei face any more stress.

"Brother has something urgent with Youyou. Why rush the question about Meimei?" Jiang Nan diverted tactfully.

His words had just fallen when a bodyguard behind Dan Tingye came striding over to him.

"Sir, we just discovered that Miss Youyou booked a flight back to Germany. She should be on the plane now."

"Back to Germany?"

Dan Tingye’s brow furrowed, his expression turning grim.

Youyou was enjoying herself here; why would she suddenly leave...

Could it be because of last night’s events?

Dan Tingye’s eyes darkened, "Where’s Meimei?"

"..."

"You know I’m looking for her and still hide her, Jiang Nan, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Dan Tingye stepped forward, grabbing Jiang Nan’s collar, his gaze dark and intense, "She left early this morning on her own, even her grandfather is worried about her safety..."
