He was shocked. He had not expected to run into Gu Jinglian here. Gu Jinglian looked at him, then at Natalia in his arms. He too, looked faintly surprised.
"Is this … your daughter?"
The actor was stumped. Should he admit it?
The actor studied Natalia's aggrieved expression. He wasn't sure what was going on, or if she was being bullied, so he nodded. "Yes."
Gu Jinglian did not seem surprised to learn that she was his daughter.
The actor knelt down. "What's the matter?" he asked the girl gently. "You seem upset. Did someone bully you?"
Gu Linxi, who was standing behind the girl now, immediately explained, "A woman was in a hurry just now and knocked her over. She left without a word after that."
"Ahhhhhh…" So that was the reason? Hua Jin was anxious immediately. "Does it hurt?"
Natalia pursed her lips and gave a small nod. "Well … a little …"
"Where does it hurt?"
