Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ling Lin excitedly threw himself into Pei Xin’s arms when she exited the car.

He stared at Pei Xin with starry eyes. “Mom, you’re finally back. 1 missed you so much.”

When his mother was in prison, he could only get to know his mother from his uncle.

He looked at many photos to identify his mother.

When his mother was finally released from prison, his hopes grew. He could have his mother accompany him every day!

However, those bad guys kept finding trouble for her mother.

Although Ling Lin didn’t understand why those people were targeting them, his intuition told him that his mother left him to protect him.

He wanted to tell his mother that even if he was bullied by others, he wanted to always be by her side. He was just too young to articulate it.

Ling Lin’s eyes were wet as he looked at her, “Mom, will you leave again? I don’t want to see you go.”

Pei Xin’s heart ached as she carried Ling Lin into the house.

If she had been hesitant about whether her decision to return to the capital was correct, when she saw how much Ling Lin was looking forward to her return, Pei Xin’s decision solidified.

No matter how difficult it would be to stay in the capital, she would resolutely continue on.

After Ling Lin finished talking to Pei Xin, he looked at Lu Huai with eager eyes.

He actually wanted to call Lu Huai Daddy, but his mother told him that his Daddy was not Lu Huai.

Ling Lin walked down from Pei Xin’s embrace and walked to Lu Huai with a conflicted expression.

Lu Huai also put away his coldness in front of Ling Lin, and his gaze could not help but soften a lot.

“Hello Uncle Lu,” Ling Lin said hesitantly, “I really hope that you’re my father. But my mother told me that she has already helped me find my father.”

Lu Huai glanced at Pei Xin and said directly, “Your mother was wrong. It was the wrong man. You can call that man from before uncle.”

Pei Xin, who was standing at the side, looked embarrassed.

She had indeed mentioned in her video call with Ling Lin that she had already found Ling Lin’s father. However, it was later proven that Li Ze’s paternity test report was a lie. Therefore, Lu Huai was right. There was no need to address that man before as Dad.

“Really?” Ling Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Then can I continue calling you Daddy in the future?”

Zhang Chao, who was standing behind Lu Huai, widened his eyes when he heard Ling Lin’s request.

He looked at Lu Huai nervously, afraid that Lu Huai would get angry.

Unexpectedly, Lu Huai caressed Ling Lin’s hair. “Call me whatever you want to.”

Ling Lin was very happy and immediately hugged Lu Huai’s thigh. “I like Daddy!”

Zhang Chao was dumbfounded.

Even after Lu Huai and Zhang Chao left, Zhang Chao still could not figure out why Lu Huai said that.

He sat in the front and kept looking at Lu Huai.

“If you have something to say, just ask,” Lu Huai said directly.

“Why are you giving Ling Lin special treatment? Don’t you hate children?”

He remembered very clearly that when Lu Nan brought Sun Che home, Sun Che tried to get close to Lu Huai to please him but failed. He was chased away by Lu Huai in disgust.

He even got angry at Lu Nan that day and warned her not to let her son get close to him.

From then on, whenever Lu Nan brought Sun Che home, he would subconsciously stay away from Lu Huai.

Lu Huai did not answer immediately. Actually, he himself could not understand why he had a soft spot for Ling Lin.

“Do you think the woman I slept with six years ago was Pei Xin?” he suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Chao’s eyes widened.

“How is that possible? You and Pei Xin didn’t come out of the same room,” he said hurriedly.

Lu Huai also fell into deep thought.

Six years ago, he was also drugged and had sex with a woman.

When he woke up, the woman was gone.

When Pei Xin woke up, there were many people blocking the door.

If he was in the same room as Pei Xin, then he should have been discovered.

However, Pei Xin was the only one in her room at that time.

This proved that he and Pei Xin were both drugged and set up, but it was not the two of them who had sex.

Even though he knew very well that the person he had sex with that night six years ago was not Pei Xin, Lu Huai still had his suspicions..
