"Of course." Shen Ning's eyes flashed with the heartless face of Shen Deshun. Compared to such a biological father, she felt that any elder would be better than him, let alone a kind elder like Lin Zhenxun. She answered with certainty, "You must be better than my biological father. In this life, I have never enjoyed fatherly love. Fatherly love is too rare for me."
A trace of compassion flashed in Lin Zhenxun's eyes. He knew Shen Ning's past very well.
"Child, I am willing to be your father. Can you recognize me as your dad?" He suddenly leaned forward and spoke kindly.
Shen Ning was stunned.
He actually wanted to be her father!
What a beautiful vision and good intentions.
"Of course I am willing." She was so excited that her voice choked with sobs. "It's just that I come from an ordinary family, and you are from a wealthy family. I am afraid that I can't afford you, and I dare not marry you."
She pursed her lips, turned her face away, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"No, child, true love and family affection are the most precious in this world. Fate is also a very wonderful thing that can only be encountered by chance. When I was very young, I wanted to adopt you as my daughter. If it weren't for the incident at the Lin Group, I would have proposed this request to your mother Maggie Shiu. I wanted to adopt you as my goddaughter. Unfortunately, I left the imperial capital and later, I couldn't find you. Therefore, it has been many years since I had the opportunity to make this request to you. Can you agree to it?"
He looked at her sincerely, his eyes bright and open.
Fate really plays tricks on people. He always thought that Chen Mei was his biological daughter and treated her as his own daughter. It was based on this reason that he asked Lin Shouyu to come to the imperial capital to recognize her and do a paternity test, but the result was so disappointing... But the result does not mean anything. No one can stop his wish to recognize Chen Ning as his daughter as long as Chen Ning agrees.
Shen Ning sat there blankly.
"Cough, cough." At this time, Mali, who was sitting next to him, couldn't wait any longer and coughed several times.
What a great opportunity! If Lin Zhenxun could recognize Chen Ning as his daughter, it would only be icing on the cake for the cooperation between Gu Qi and the Lin Group. Gu Qi's development would have a bright future. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he felt that Chen Ning and Lin Zhenxun really looked alike, and their words and deeds were very similar, very much like a pair of father and daughter.
It’s great that they recognize each other!
Shen Ning finally came back to his senses.
"Mr. Lin, if you don't mind me, of course I'm willing." She immediately agreed.
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Lin Zhenxun said excitedly, "Ningning, you agreed, right?"
"Yes, I agreed." Shen Ning admitted with a slight smile.
"Ah, that's great." Lin Zhenxun fumbled with his hands in his pockets, speaking incoherently, "I didn't bring any gifts today. Next time, next time I will definitely make it up to you."
He muttered, his fingers shaking.
"No need for a meeting gift, I appreciate your kindness." Shen Ning smiled and waved his hand quickly, "What I value most is family affection, not some empty gifts."
"Okay, what a good kid." Lin Zhenxun's face flushed with excitement. "Child, can you call me dad?"
He looked at her expectantly.
"Yes, of course." Shen Ning nodded immediately, and then called out crisply: "Dad."
"Yeah." Lin Zhenxun immediately agreed happily, and he was very happy.
"That's great! This child, who is not a biological child, is better than a biological one. It makes me so happy." Mali clapped his hands.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very warm and sweet.
"Since we've recognized each other as relatives, let's go to the hotel to celebrate. I'll be a witness," Mali suggested.
"Okay, okay." Lin Zhenxun was very excited and nodded repeatedly.
Chen Ning was also very happy. He and Lin Zhenxun looked at each other and felt very warm about this belated family affection.
"Then let's go. I've already booked a hotel. Today we'll host a welcome party for Director Lin and celebrate the reunion of Director Lin and Ningning, father and daughter. I'll call a few more executives to join us." Mali stood up happily and made a 'please' gesture.
"Dad, let's go." Shen Ning looked at Lin Zhenxun and said sweetly.
"Okay, let's go." Lin Zhenxun stood up happily.
The group walked outside to the hotel.
