He has been by his mother's side all these years, and no one knows better than him how much hardship his mother endured while she was alone abroad.

In his eyes, his mother sometimes does seem like a superhero, because she is omnipotent and invincible no matter what.

However, the achievements she has attained now are difficult for even men to reach, let alone a mother who was alone with her child at that time.

He had heard his mother cry countless times at night, and he had seen her return home late at night, exhausted. Sometimes, when she was so tired that she would collapse at the door the moment she opened it.

But Mommy was always optimistic and strong, never showing these feelings on her face, and never mentioning them to him.

But those images remained in his heart forever. At that time, he thought, "If only Daddy were with Mommy."

But why? Why did Daddy only want Zixiao and Ling'er, and not even Mommy?

Li Zhanting's obsidian-like eyes were filled with deep regret. Seeing the tears on Gu Jingxing's face, he felt his heart clench with pain.

When he woke up that year, he searched everywhere for her, and in the past five years, he has searched every corner of the country.

Every time an operation failed, he would suffer endless torment, because each failure meant that she might be enduring countless hardships outside.

Whatever the reason she disappeared back then, he owed her five whole years, and that's an unchangeable fact.

A gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, but his eyes were very serious and deep. "I'm sorry, Daddy has never given up looking for you, but Daddy is powerless and has not found any trace of you; but for the past five years, Daddy has been thinking about you and your mother every moment, so Jingxing..."

A gentle smile appeared in his obsidian-like eyes, and his warm voice coaxed Gu Jingxing softly, "Daddy wants to make it up to you and your mommy. Can you give Daddy a chance? Hmm?"

His deep, mellow voice, tinged with doting affection, warmed Gu Jingxing's heart. To be honest...

Daddy is still quite gentle.

Gu Jingxing forcefully wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

His handsome face immediately returned to normal. He forced back his tears and gave Li Zhanting a fake smile. "Hehe, Daddy, I'll say it again: what you need is Mommy's forgiveness, not mine. I will never forgive you until Mommy forgives you."

With that, he casually waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back like a little adult, and started walking away. "Hmph, I'll go back with you when Mommy calls your husband."

Li Zhanting's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned around and grabbed Gu Jingxing's arm. "Jingxing, wait."

With that gentle pull, Gu Jingxing felt a surge of warmth coursing through his heart.

His heart was pounding with nervousness, but to hide his emotions, he put on an impatient expression.

"What are you doing? Trying to bribe me? I'm warning you, I'm completely loyal to Mommy, don't even think about trying to buy me off!"

His handsome little face grew impatient, his cheeks puffed out pink, which was actually quite cute, making Li Zhanting smile indulgently.

He gently grasped Gu Jingxing's arm with his long, slender fingers and coaxed softly, "Then tell me first, who is your mommy? If Daddy's guess is correct, your mommy should be Gu Momo, right? Hmm?"

Gu Jingxing's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this scumbag father incredibly stupid before?

How did you suddenly become so smart?!

He quickly pulled his arm out of Li Zhanting's large hand, his handsome face furrowed in anger. "See! You really are disloyal to my mommy. You even mistook my mommy for someone else. You think you can fool a child like this? Humph, you have no sincerity at all!"

He turned to leave, his small frame faltering, but Li Zhanting's large, warm hand quickly reached out to grab him again.

Just then, Rong Moyun's carefree voice came from not far away, "Oh my little darling Jingxing, your great-uncle has finally found you! Come here quickly, I've been missing you so much for the past few hours!"

Li Zhanting subconsciously turned his head and saw Rong Moyun rushing towards him. He was wearing a well-tailored dark black suit, and his handsome face was adorned with a charming and infectious smile, as if the sunshine of the whole world was shining because of him.

Behind him, Rong Changqing stood with his hands in his pockets, his brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed with an unfathomable smile, his every move exuding composure and confidence in control of the situation. Just by standing there, one could feel his unique oppressive presence.

Li Zhanting was slightly taken aback. Great-uncle?

He had already investigated Gu Momo's information countless times.

Gu Momo's family has never had any dealings with the Rong family in the capital. Why would Jing Xing call Rong Moyun... his great-uncle?

Gu Jingxing's dark, bright eyes flashed with surprise. He happily opened his arms and rushed into Rong Moyun's embrace. "Uncle, you've finally arrived!"

He deliberately snorted at Li Zhanting with his handsome little face, using his cuteness as his trump card, "Grandpa, let me tell you, this bad uncle just tried to kidnap me! Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise your lovely little Jingxing would have been kidnapped by this bad uncle!"

Li Zhanting: "..."

Just a moment ago he was calling me "Daddy," but now that he's in my arms, he's suddenly become a "bad uncle."

Just then, Gu Momo was walking towards them with hurried steps. She heard Gu Jingxing's voice from afar, and her heart tightened slightly. She quickly hid behind the wall.

Her back was pressed against the wall, and she only slightly turned her head to look in the direction of Li Zhanting and Gu Jingxing. Her delicate eyes curled into a playful smile, and the smile on her lips became even more meaningful.

Heh...it seems I couldn't hide it from Li Zhanting after all?

It's a pity that she's living a carefree and independent life now, and doesn't need a man by her side at all.

Li Zhanting wants her to admit that she is Liu Li? No way!

Li Zhanting's lips twitched violently. He stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and exuded a charm that created an invisible confrontation between him and Rong Changqing and Rong Moyun.

"Gentlemen, I am Jingxing's father. May I ask... was Jingxing just referring to you as his great-uncle?"

Rong Changqing's eyes narrowed into a deep smile as he casually glanced at Li Zhanting, his smile exuding an intense pressure.

"Whether Jingxing is your son or not is none of my concern, but Jingxing is the treasure of the Rong family. Anyone who wants to lay a finger on him must first step over the corpses of the Rong family. Do you understand this principle, Master Ting?"
