Xue Lingbao felt as if her soul was about to fly out of her body from Li Zhanting's gaze. She quickly racked her brains and said in a childish tone, "Uncle, I didn't do it on purpose. You wouldn't argue with a little kid, would you? Besides, he ran over here by himself, and I almost got hurt by him..."

Her tender voice, coupled with her childlike face, would make anyone who saw her feel sorry for her.

Li Zhanting's cold eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty chill. A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips. His voice, though magnetic and pleasant, sounded as if pronouncing a death sentence.

"Is that so? Someone! Publish all her information online! Since she's so good at creating trouble through such affectation, let her pay a heavy price for her ignorance!"

Mo Feng quickly brought over a thick stack of documents. "Yes, Master Ting! All the documents are ready!"

When Xue Lingbao saw the thick stack of documents in Mo Feng's hand, she completely broke down. She didn't want to be told that Li Zhanting had already exposed her for pretending to be a child.

However, she had no choice but to reveal the truth, as Mo Feng had already released all the information to the media.

The media immediately uploaded the video to the internet, and the evidence was continuously displayed on the big screen at the scene. The onlookers were already shocked, and now they were shocked again by the bombshell revelation!

"Holy crap! Is this some kind of terrifying operation?!"

"This person is already in their twenties and has received training from professional professors abroad. How could they be pretending to be a child here?"

"Damn! Do they have no shame? They even have such a huge marketing team behind them!"

"When she incited her fans to attack other children, she didn't even hesitate. How can this woman be so heartless!"

"What's the point of keeping someone like Xue Lingbao around? Just ban him!"

Xue Lingbao watched the evidence scrolling across the screen, being verbally abused by the audience, and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Her life is over, her life is completely ruined!

Meanwhile, Li Zhanting held Gu Jingxing in his arms as if protecting his precious heart, afraid of hurting him, "Jingxing..."

When his deep eyes looked at the curled-up little bundle in his arms, the icy coldness in his eyes seemed to melt away like ice in the spring breeze, instantly disappearing without a trace, leaving only endless tenderness and doting.

His magnetic and gentle voice was like a spring breeze gently caressing Gu Jingxing's heart. His round eyes became slightly moist, but he still insisted on pushing Li Zhanting away and ran towards a less crowded place.

Li Zhanting clearly sensed his resistance, and his heart ached. His gaze was fixed on Gu Jingxing's direction. "Mo Feng, handle things here properly. The Li family must never know about Jingxing's matter, understand?"

Mo Feng immediately understood the meaning behind Li Zhanting's words, "Don't worry, Master Ting! I will make sure this matter is handled flawlessly!"

Li Zhanting nodded slightly, then quickly strode towards Gu Jingxing.

His firm steps seemed steady and powerful, but upon closer inspection, one could see that his steps carried an unusual hint of panic and tension.

Finally, he spotted Gu Jingxing's figure in a corner of the wall not far away.

His small body was turned away from him, his arms were resting on the windowsill, and he was gazing intently at the scenery outside the window, as if he were completely immersed in his own world.

A dark current surged in Li Zhanting's eyes, his heart filled with excitement, heartache, and complex emotions.

He finally found the child, but in the past five years, he has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

This child probably already knew about their relationship, but just how much does this child hate him to want to run away whenever she sees him...?

But Jingxing, do you know?

In Daddy's heart, you will always be just as important as Zixiao and Ling'er.

It's more important than Daddy's life, you know?

Just as he was about to step forward, Gu Jingxing seemed to sense his presence. He suddenly turned around, unabashedly removed the mask from his face, and threw it far away on the ground!

His big, round eyes were watery, and there was a stubbornness and defiance in them. "Why are you following me? Did I tell you to follow me? Do you know what kindergarten kids call this? They call you a tagalong."

The stubborn tears glistening in his eyes pierced Li Zhanting's heart with waves of pain.

He walked slowly towards Gu Jingxing, straightened his back, and squatted down in front of Gu Jingxing. His magnetic voice was gentle and pleasant, "Jingxing, Daddy was wrong. Please forgive Daddy, okay?"

He truly couldn't imagine how she managed to get through it while pregnant with three children.

What kind of pain did she go through to cause her children to be scattered and separated?

During the time she suffered, he not only failed to return to help her escape her misery, but also left her struggling alone with her big belly in dire straits. He could hardly imagine how desperate she must have been at that time...

He was wrong; ultimately, he was wrong.

Because I returned late that year, I missed it for a full five years.

But those five years are gone forever.

Gu Jingxing was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his bright eyes.

Although he had spoken to his father countless times before, this was the first time his father had spoken to him directly in this way.

The deepest, softest part of his heart was deeply touched, but Gu Jingxing felt a surge of bitterness over the suffering his mother had endured, and he wished he could vent it all on Li Zhanting.

He stared at Li Zhanting stubbornly and unwillingly, his childish voice trembling with tears, "That's right, Daddy, you're wrong."

"But Daddy, tell me, what were you doing for those five years? Do you know how much suffering, how many grievances, how many setbacks and hardships Mommy endured while you were gone? You don't know, you have no idea..."

"But what about you? When Mommy was bullied, you weren't by her side; when Mommy was abused by bad people, you weren't by her side; later, when Mommy took me to travel abroad alone, you weren't by her side either..."

Gu Jingxing became more and more heartbroken as he spoke, his throat choked with tears, and his voice became hoarse.

"So Daddy, tell me, is your apology useful? Can your apology make up for all the suffering Mommy endured back then? Can your apology make up for the time and happiness Mommy lost over the past five years? Daddy, you're late, and even if you apologize, you're still late..."

His tender voice was completely choked up, and in his big, round eyes, he tried his best to hold back his tears, but they still flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"So Daddy, tell me, how can I forgive you?"

Ahhh, they've finally recognized each other!
