Just as I was worrying, the door of the study creaked open.

Watching his daughter and Xu Lixue walking out of the study one after another, Huang Zhiqiu subconsciously glanced at Ling Chuan. Seeing that his expression was normal and without any displeasure, he felt relieved.

After sending Xu Lixue away, Yun Moru went to the bathroom to take a bath, while Ling Chuan went to the kitchen to heat milk.

"Xiao Ling, I'll bring it to Momo. You go and take a rest."

Ling Chuan didn't think much about it, thinking that Huang Zhiqiu wanted to talk and get closer to his daughter before leaving.

After putting the milk on the desk, Huang Zhiqiu did not leave in a hurry, but picked up the test paper on the desk and started to look through it.

Although Huang Zhiqiu couldn't understand the high school questions, he still recognized the scores.

Seeing that her daughter got full marks on almost every test paper, she felt sweeter than drinking honey.

"Mom~"

The daughter suddenly opened her arms from behind and wrapped them around her waist, resting her chin on her shoulder and rubbing her gently.

Huang Zhiqiu patted his daughter's furry head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You are so old, but you still act like a spoiled child."

"Well, I wasn't with you when you were little, so I can only spread more of it while you're here."

Hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu couldn't help feeling disappointed.

It has always been a regret in her heart that she took the wrong daughter away. Although her daughter has now returned to her, the 18 years missing in between can never be filled.

After a brief moment of sadness, Huang Zhiqiu remembered the important matter.

"Momo, who exactly is that Mr. Xu?"

"He is the boss of a detective agency. Last year, the agency encountered some difficulties. I happened to have some spare money, so I invested some money in it..."

Huang Zhiqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his daughter was a shareholder of the detective agency and Xu Lixue would come to report on the agency's operations to his daughter every once in a while.

"Momo, although you and Boss Xu are in a cooperative relationship, you should still be careful. If he comes to you to discuss something next time, don't close the door, or outsiders will see it and get suspicious."

"Mom, you're afraid Ling Chuan will be suspicious, but he won't."

Although he said this, he didn't feel confident in his heart. After all, men can be quite jealous.

Huang Zhiqiu could see that she was guilty, "You, don't bully Xiao Ling just because he's a good person."

"No, I'm very nice to him."

"He is your husband, you should be good to him. Husband and wife should be considerate and supportive of each other, so that life can be warm and easy."

Speaking of men, Yun Mo's heart was filled with ripples.

What Yun Yao could guess, she could naturally also think of.

If Huang Zhiqiu knew that it was Yuan Jia who deceived her biological father and went to the capital in Huang Zhiqiu's place, no one knew how he would feel.

"Mom, have you ever thought about Dad over the years?"

"No."

No hesitation, quick and decisive.

"Then, if, I mean if he left without saying goodbye for some unavoidable reasons, would you forgive him?"

Facing Huang Zhiqiu's inquiring eyes, Yun Mo hurriedly explained: "I'm just asking casually. I have a classmate whose father is a special police officer who needs to be on missions outside for many years. Sometimes they don't see each other for several years. She always thought her father was an irresponsible person. Recently, she found out that her father has solved many major cases in recent years and is a hero admired by everyone. I can't help but wonder, what if my father also left you for some special reasons, would you reconcile with him?"

"Won't."

"Why?"

"To think that a broken relationship is reconciled is just deceiving oneself. The cracks in between will never disappear. Moreover, so many years have passed. He must have already had a marriage and a family. It is better for both of us to keep the status quo and not disturb each other."

If someone had not interfered, Huang Zhiqiu might have had a happy family, a considerate husband, and several sensible children, instead of suffering from ridicule and hardship in the countryside and remaining single till now.

Yuan Jia, right? Stolen things have to be returned sooner or later.

Even if my mother doesn't want it, it's not your turn to take it.

Huang Zhiqiu had no idea what his daughter was thinking, so he briefly told her about Huang Zhao coming over in the afternoon.

From Xu Lixue, Yun Mo learned that Huang Zhao came in the afternoon to inquire about Yuan Jia's news for Yun Yao, but she didn't know that Huang Zhao had also attacked Dabai and Erbai.

"Momo, don't worry. I checked the geese when I came back this afternoon. They're fine. They just had a few tufts of feathers ripped off."

Although Yun Mo heard Huang Zhiqiu say that the geese were fine, she still checked each goose carefully one by one before she felt relieved.

When she was sleeping at night, thinking of Huang Zhiqiu's reminder, Yun Mo turned her head to look at Ling Chuan beside her.

"Lingchuan, are you sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy, wife, just tell me what you want to say."

Yun Mo changed her position to lie on her side, holding her face with her hands and looking at him, "Brother Xu came to me last night and told me something about Yun Yao..."

Yun Mo picked out the key points and briefly talked about Huang Zhiqiu's past with her adoptive father, how Yun Yao instructed Huang Zhao to come and inquire about Yuan Jia, and how Yuan Jia might have impersonated Huang Zhiqiu.

After hearing the whole story, Ling Chuan took a while to digest it before asking.

"Momo, you want to apply to a university in Beijing, is it because you want to find your father-in-law?"

"Of course not. I want to study at Beijing University because it is the best university in the country, and I didn't know he was in Beijing beforehand."

"Now that you know, do you want to go find him?"

"Of course I have to look for him, but I'm not looking for him to recognize him. I just don't want the thief to continue to impersonate my mom. But there's no rush. I have to find out what my dad's relationship is with the Yuan family first."

Ling Chuan still understands his wife, "Wife, are you afraid that your father-in-law and Ms. Yuan have a family and relationship, and will turn a blind eye to your mother's grievances?"

Yun Mo snorted, "If he is really such a person, then I will treat him as dead and find a good and handsome man for my mother!"

Ling Chuan smiled and hugged her tightly, "Wife, let's help mom find it together."

She couldn't help but poked the man's chest with her elbow, "Oh, it's so hot, don't hug me."

After the weather warmed up, Yun Mo no longer rolled into Ling Chuan's arms when she slept like she did when the weather was cold. Occasionally, Ling Chuan would take the initiative to hug her, but she would be disgusted.

Ling Chuan buried his head in her shoulder, greedily absorbing the fragrance from her body, "Wife, let me hold you for a while longer. I haven't held you for a long time."

Because his face was buried in her shoulder, the man's voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was a bit pleading and aggrieved. Yun Mo's heart couldn't help but soften.

All right, "I'll hold you for ten minutes."

"Um."

The man's voice clearly showed joy and laughter, "Wife, you are so nice."

Yun Mo was a little sleepy and ignored him with her eyes closed.

"Wife, you smell so good."

The man's face was buried in her shoulder, and when he spoke, all his hot air sprayed on her earlobes, making her feel numb and itchy.

Yun Mo raised her hand to cover the man's mouth, "You are not allowed to speak."

"Um."
