Chapter 2: I'm Even Impressed with My Own Cleverness

Quite an eye-catching young lady.

The young lady dressed modestly, wearing a white dress that looked extremely beautiful.

Below the skirt, her legs were very straight and fair.

Her face was very delicate; Xiao Ming found her increasingly pleasing to the eye, and after looking her over, he suddenly felt that this young lady looked somewhat like him.

"Huh?"

At that moment, the young lady also saw Xiao Ming, happily walked over to him, sized him up, and then looked at XiaoMo with shining eyes.

"How old are you?"

"Forty-two," XiaoMo replied politely.

"Oh, that really suits my taste."

The young lady was in a good mood, smiling as she played with her phone and asked: "You're pretty good-looking; want to be my boyfriend? I earn money to support myself, my monthly pocket money is sixty thousand, and if you make me happy, I'll buy you a house."

Xiao Ming was utterly speechless, his gaze wandering elsewhere, with no intention of responding to her.

He muttered to himself: "What a badly behaved little girl; if she were my daughter, I'd definitely slap her."

"What personality!"

Seeing Xiao Ming silent, Yuchun said playfully.

Afterward, Xiao Ming sensed that someone had been staring at him strangely all along.

He glanced sideways; it was still that young lady, her eyes seeming to follow him.

Xiao Ming bluntly said: "Young lady, I'm not interested in you."

Yuchun stuck out her tongue in displeasure and went elsewhere.

This trip was in vain again.

Xiao Ming hadn't taken a liking to anyone; he just got up and left.

Just then, a hurried footsteps came from behind; someone wrapped their arms around his neck, rubbed against him, and even reached up to touch his head.

"Who is it?"

Xiao Ming was dumbfounded; he hurriedly stood up, pushed them away, and stared in surprise at the person behind him.

It was Yuchun.

"Hehe, handsome older brother, I think we'll meet again by fate."

Yuchun chuckled, her eyes pure and cute.

"What the heck," Xiao Ming muttered dissatisfiedly and walked away.

……

Three days later.

Anjin City's most luxurious villa district, Yuxi Villa District.

Xiao Ming's residence was located in the central spot, covering over a thousand square meters.

At that moment, he was lying on the balcony enjoying the morning sunlight.

By his side, the joyfully playing Vajra Parrot was his cute little pet, Bean Bun.

This Vajra Parrot, a top-quality parrot, he happened to encounter while on a business trip, bought it, and spent a lot of money.

Suddenly, his phone placed nearby rang.

He lazily answered: "Hello."

"Hehehe..."

"Hey handsome older brother, do you still remember me? I'm Yuchun; I told you before that we'd meet again by fate—you haven't forgotten, right?"

From the other end of the phone, a young lady's laughter, clear as a bell, came through: "Hey handsome older brother, uh, wrong, wrong—I should be calling you Dad; I don't want to be your girlfriend anymore, you be my dad."

"What the heck!"

XiaoMo wanted to hang up directly.

"Don't rush to hang up," Yuchun said anxiously: "Twenty-four years ago, at the Happy Valley Hotel in Mengcheng, there was a girl named Zihan—have you forgotten her?"

"Buzz!"

The sealed memories suddenly flooded his mind; Xiao Ming jerked upright, his hand gripping the phone trembling.

"Zihan!"

Twenty-four years ago, his career had just begun; while traveling to promote cosmetics, he met that kind-hearted girl.

Back then, he had just turned eighteen, and she was twenty.

At that moment, upon seeing Zihan for the first time, his heart was captured, and he couldn't let go.

Who would have thought the ending would be her saying over the phone, "I once loved you," and that was it.

She also told him to forget her, saying she had fallen for someone else.

"I want to see you!"

After a moment, Xiao Ming said in a low voice.

……

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Ming arrived at the place Yuchun had mentioned.

Just as he entered, he saw her sitting by the window in the restaurant.

The young lady today wore casual clothes, one hand propped on the table, nibbling at her fingertip.

What a coincidence?

Xiao Ming's chest suddenly jumped a few beats; Zihan also liked to nibble her fingertip when she had nothing to do.

Burdened with questions in his mind, Xiao Ming walked over and sat opposite her.

"I'm here; spill it—who exactly are you?" Xiao Ming asked bluntly.

"Dad."

Wen Yuchun turned her head, delighted as a four- or five-year-old who got candy, very happy.

"Actually, I just wanted to go on a blind date to find a partner; I never expected to end up matching my father."

"Hehehe, Dad, it's great, I have a dad now."

Laughing happily, Wen Yuchun jumped off her seat and flung herself into Xiao Ming's embrace.

Content, she rubbed against XiaoMo's embrace, smelling his scent; Wen Yuchun, who had never seen her father since childhood, instantly fell in love with this warm hug.

XiaoMo's heart pounded with shock, his whole body stiffening.

Wen Yuchun spoke the name he had kept hidden in his heart for many years; seeing her face so similar to his, he at that moment formed a certain judgment.

"Dad, I think you must be shocked, also doubtful; in fact, you are indeed my father."

After two minutes, Wen Yuchun reluctantly left Xiao Ming's embrace, returned to her seat, and pushed a document toward him.

"At that blind date, I touched your head—you haven't forgotten, right? Actually, I was seizing the chance to pull a few of your hairs, using your hair and mine for a DNA test."

Wen Yuchun proudly continued: "Haha, I'm impressed with my own cleverness. When I was little, my mother said our father's name was Xiao Ming; seeing you, I immediately knew you were my dad, and we look so alike."

"But we still need to speak with science; the facts prove you are indeed my father."

Xiao Ming opened the file with a complex feeling as stubborn as a rhino, seeing the accumulated paternity index at 99.90%; tears instantly welled in his eyes.

How many years have passed.

Since she left, no one has ever seen him this vulnerable.

In front of everyone, he was aloof and capable, an emotionless workaholic.

But he too is a mundane person of this world, with the seven emotions and six desires.

He quickly suppressed his shock and sorrow, his gaze slowly sweeping over Wen Yuchun as he examined her carefully.

Wen Yuchun's casual outfit looked lively and cute, her neat makeup giving her a spirited air; her slightly pursed lips made people inexplicably feel a urge to protect her.

He could actually, through Wen Yuchun, see the woman whose memory had been buried for over twenty years.

"You... really are my daughter?"

Xiao Ming stared at Wen Yuchun for a long time, he accepted her existence as his daughter.

From now on, he just needs to take another sample for a DNA test to confirm; if it's a lie, it will eventually be exposed, which would be pointless.
