As the ring was placed, thunderous applause suddenly erupted in the arena.

Amid cheers, Old Master Lu was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

He slowly lowered his eyes, wiped his tear-blurred vision with the corner of his sleeve, and turned to look at Zhan Hanjue beside him, saying with a touch of emotion:

"Youth is wonderful! Look how well these two kids match."

"How are they a good match? This brat is a complete scoundrel."

When Zhan Hanjue saw Qin Beiming lightly kissing Ling Mo's forehead in front of so many people, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

His precious daughter is still so young, how could Qin Beiming possibly do such a thing?

no!

He had to step forward and properly discipline Qin Beiming!

If this continues, he'll probably become a grandfather very early.

However, just as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to give Qin Beiming a good beating, a large number of media reporters who had rushed over had already surrounded Qin Beiming and Ling Mo, squeezing him to the very edge, leaving him no room to maneuver...

After the banquet ended, Qin Beiming took off his coat and draped it over Ling Mo, who was only wearing a thin evening gown. "Are you going back to the Ling residence tonight? Why don't you come home with me?"

"You wish!"

Having finally found an opening to catch up, Zhan Hanjue's expression instantly turned wary upon hearing Qin Beiming's suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Ling Mo slowly turned his head, looking at Zhan Hanjue with increasing confusion.

At this moment, Qin Beiming also stared at Zhan Hanjue with great indignation and said coldly:

"Aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

"Don't think I don't know your tricks!"

Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly and said to himself, "If you go and harm others, I naturally can't care. But if you try to harm my darling, I will fight you to the death."

Qin Beiming's lips twitched violently, feeling that Zhan Hanjue deserved a beating even more.

When did Ling Mo become his darling?

This is utterly baffling!

Qin Beiming grew increasingly speechless. Just as he was about to raise his fist and beat Zhan Hanjue to a pulp, Zhan Hanjue bypassed him and walked directly to Ling Mo, speaking cautiously:

"Girl, how did you learn about your mother's past? To be honest, I am the Luo Lin your mother mentioned. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be my daughter."

"What did you say?"

Ling Mo looked at Zhan Hanjue in surprise, completely unexpected that Zhan Hanjue would suddenly say such a thing.

Qin Beiming, without making a sound, unfurled his clenched fist and carefully compared the two men's appearances.

To be fair, Ling Mo and Zhan Hanjue do look alike, and many netizens have said that they look like a married couple.

He even secretly felt jealous after seeing the comments from netizens.

Unexpectedly, this man was actually Ling Mo's biological father...

If he had known it would end like this, he shouldn't have kissed Ling Mo so frequently in front of Zhan Hanjue.

Now that's settled, how is he going to clear his name?

"Girl, I feel like you are my daughter." Zhan Hanjue excitedly grabbed Ling Mo's hand and repeated it over and over again.

Ling Mo belatedly realized what was happening, and after a long while, he finally raised his bright black eyes and asked softly:

"Are you Luo Lin?"

"Um."

Zhan Hanjue nodded and began to speak in detail:

“My real name is Han Jue, and my courtesy name is Luo Lin. A Ying always says that the name Han Jue sounds cold, so she only calls me ‘Luo Lin’.”

"..."

Ling Mo frowned, finding it hard to accept all of this for a moment.

She had thought that Luo Lin had died long ago, but unexpectedly, he was still alive and well.

If her mother knew this news, she could rest in peace with a smile on her face.

Thinking that Zhan Hanjue might misunderstand her mother, Ling Mo fixed her eyes, which held a hint of joy, and said in a deep voice:

“My mother has a habit of keeping a diary. Her diary was originally hidden by Wu Ma in the backyard of the Ling residence, but it has now fallen into my hands. If you really want to know what happened back then, you might as well come with me to Taoli Street. My luggage has already been moved to No. 3 Taoli Street.”

"good."

Zhan Hanjue nodded, feeling more and more pleased as he looked at Ling Mo.

Seeing this, Qin Beiming had no choice but to become a full-time driver.

He originally wanted Ling Mo to sit in the passenger seat, but unexpectedly, Bai Hu, without any sense of propriety, squeezed into the passenger seat.

However, he dared not utter any complaints.

He would do anything Zhan Hanjue asked, as long as Zhan Hanjue's hostility towards him lessened...

Throughout the journey, Zhan Hanjue held Ling Mo's hand tightly, his usually cold and stern face now filled with the concern of a loving father.

"Girl, how have you been these past years?"

"fine."

Ling Mo was used to shouldering everything on her own, and even if she suffered a lot of grievances, she would not easily tell others.

Zhan Hanjue had long heard of Su Yu's shrewishness and knew that Ling Mo had had a difficult time over the years.

Seeing that she wouldn't say anything to him, he didn't press her, but said with deep remorse:

"I'm so sorry for all the suffering you've endured over the years. If I had known you existed, I would never have ignored you. I thought Ah Ying didn't want me anymore..."

“My mother has never changed her mind. Every sentence and every word in her diary contains her love and longing.”

"I'm the one who wronged her..."

As Zhan Hanjue spoke, he became even more eager to read her diary and to find out what had happened back then.

But the moment he took the diary from Ling Mo's hand, his hand trembled violently, and he suddenly dared not open the diary.

He feared that the diary contained records of her many sufferings from back then, and he was extremely afraid that she was not doing well.
