However, after a long silence, the little boy held his breath, raised his head, and shouted at Chen Jinheng.
"I won't call him Father! I only have one mother! You only have one wife, the one from Lingyan Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng's face darkened instantly, and he raised his hand to slap the little boy.
