This shadow is none other than Ning Qiankun.
Over the years, he felt that he owed Ning Fan too much. Ever since Ning Fan returned home, everything followed his wishes, but the situation hadn't improved much.
Ning Fan at most would call him "old man," never with the intention of calling him "father."
Ning Qiankun once believed that people are emotional beings. As long as you give more, you'll naturally achieve the desired results, everything would happen smoothly.
However, with Ning Fan, he felt somewhat disappointed, as Ning Fan seemed like a cold-hearted person, unmoved by anything, very stubborn.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Ning Fan had gone through many experiences, whether it was the pain of losing his mother or the childhood loss of his little buddy,Lan'er, which made his heart feel like dead ashes.
