Looking at Lin Momo who was busy tinkering with things as soon as she got home, Liu Cuifang had a loving smile on her face.

After hearing what grandma told her dad, Lin Momo—who was looking for a plate in the cabinet—blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

“Dad, drink some water.” Lin Momo ran over and handed a glass of water to Lin Cheng, taking the opportunity to interrupt the conversation between Liu Cuifang and Lin Cheng.

Then, she put the fruits she had just washed in front of Lin Cheng and said, “Eat some fruits.”

The fruits were given by the aunt from the government district when she came over to give elderly aid. She had shared some to the neighbors and now there were still five left. Lin Momo was very happy. She generously washed them all, and there was just enough to make a fruit plate.

There was a small chip on the plate, but Lin Momo had washed it very clean, so it was okay.

Looking at the uncut ‘fruit plate’ in front of him, Lin Cheng picked out the largest one and handed it to Lin Momo.

Taking the apple, Lin Momo smiled at Lin Cheng. “Thank you, Dad.”

After Lin Momo sat to the side, Lin Cheng looked at Liu Cuifang again, his expression turning serious.

“I came today to talk to you about Momo’s background,” Lin Cheng said directly without beating around the bush.

Liu Cuifang had learned from Wang Yu earlier that Lin Cheng would be coming and he seemed to want to talk to her about something. Despite this, Liu Cuifang was still very surprised when she heard Lin Cheng’s intention.

“Xiao Momo’s background?”

Lin Cheng nodded and said, “I am her father.”

“!” 

Liu Cuifang was truly shocked when she heard this!

Even Lin Momo, who was quietly chewing an apple on the side, was stunned and looked at Lin Cheng with her mouth wide open.

She always thought that Lin Cheng didn’t know about their blood relationship. She didn’t expect that he already knew he was her father!

Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng in disbelief.

“You said you and Momo— How is this possible…” 

This sudden incident, Liu Cuifang still has a hard time digesting it. In her mind, Lin Momo and the big star in front of her were from two different worlds. If not for the fact that Lin Cheng needed Lin Momo to record a program with him, they would never have had any contact with each other. 

What kind of data screening did they use to find their Momo… 

Faced with the surprise of the old and the young in front of him, Lin Cheng continued, “We have already done a paternity test. I am indeed her father.

“Because of my personal circumstances and some other reasons, I had Momo.” His eyes darkened upon saying this, and Lin Cheng added, “I had just entered the entertainment industry at that time. At a celebration banquet, I was in a state of confusion after drinking, so I didn’t know that I had Momo afterwards.”

In front of Liu Cuifang and Lin Momo, Lin Cheng took the responsibility for what happened back then onto himself.

What really made Lin Cheng delirious at the time was not the wine, but what was put in the wine. At that time, Lin Cheng’s body functions were not abnormal, but his consciousness could not control his body, and he had no awareness of what was happening to him. When Lin Cheng woke up, he noticed that something was wrong but he never thought that he could have created a child.

As for who did it…

At present, Lin Cheng has found links to his original agent, but the relationship behind it was far more complicated than this.

Thinking of this, a coldness flashed across Lin Cheng’s eyes.

After listening to Lin Cheng’s explanation, Liu Cuifang seemed to believe him.

“So, where is Momo’s mother?”

“She was a fan of mine.” Lin Cheng’s answer was short and simple.

Although Lin Cheng never intended to hide Lin Momo’s identity and blood relationship from her from the beginning, but in front of the child, Lin Cheng did not want her to feel that her birth was not expected and was a mistake, so Lin Cheng concealed some details.

Hearing this, Liu Cuifang nodded and asked no more questions.

Both parties were silent for a while, and then Liu Cuifang asked Lin Cheng nervously, “So, are you planning to take Xiao Momo away?” 

“Her current living and learning environment are not conducive to her growth and development. Therefore, as a father, I hope to give her a relatively complete family and a better living and educational environment as much as possible.” 

Hearing this, Liu Cuifang nodded again. Lin Cheng is Lin Momo’s biological father. Since he has found the child, it was understandable that he wanted to take her, and Lin Momo indeed needed a better growth environment.

However, in her heart, Liu Cuifang couldn’t bear to part with this child.

Just when Liu Cuifang was feeling reluctant to give her up, she heard Lin Cheng speak again. 

“There is another thing I wanted to talk about, which is your old-age care.” 

“You mean me?”

Lin Cheng nodded and said, “You are Momo’s grandmother, and you will always be so in the future.” 

“Yes?”

Lin Cheng revealed his plan: he had people clean up the house in Jingyi Garden and arranged a special nanny to assist Liu Cuifang when she moves there. The place was suitable for retirement, and it was not far from Grand Riverside where Lin Cheng currently lives. Liu Cuifang could see Lin Momo at any time.

Hearing Lin Cheng’s plan, Liu Cuifang was moved, but she didn’t dare to accept it. 

“What do you mean by this, it’s too troublesome for you.” 

“It’s not troublesome at all. You raised Momo by yourself and you raised her well. This is what I should do.”

“I didn’t take care of her well, I kept letting her suffer with me…” 

“But you have tried your best to give her the best.”

… …

Liu Cuifang lowered her head, and after some consideration, she finally nodded. 

“Let me tidy up here first,” Liu Cuifang said. Although there were not many things in this home, there were still some things worthy of nostalgia.

​​Lin Cheng nodded and said, “Okay, there’s no rush.” 

Lin Cheng looked at Lin Momo sitting to the side.

At this time, Lin Momo still looked a little confused.

Seeing Lin Cheng looking over, Lin Momo asked uncertainly, “Do you plan to raise me?”

“Yes, I will raise you,” Lin Cheng nodded.

After receiving Lin Cheng’s affirmation, Lin Momo’s eyes flashed with some surprise.

Lin Cheng looked back at Liu Cuifang and told her his plan. “I plan to take Momo to deal with the household registration matter in the next two days.” 

Lin Cheng had originally planned to take Lin Momo back with him tonight after discussing the matter with Liu Cuifang. However, he noticed the reluctance in the little girl’s eyes as they were about to leave, and Lin Cheng changed his mind.

“I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow,” Lin Cheng told Lin Momo in a low voice.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, Lin Momo’s eyes lit up. “Okay!” 

Seeing that Lin Cheng was on his way out, Lin Momo chased after him, “Dad, I’ll see you off!”

While they were walking in the alley of the residential area, Lin Cheng noticed that Lin Momo was not as excited as he was expecting.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Cheng lowered his head and asked.

Lin Momo seemed to be hesitant and gathered her thoughts together. After a while, she asked Lin Cheng in a confirming tone, “Dad, do you really want to raise me?” 

The little girl’s voice was cautious, observing Lin Cheng’s demeanor, as if she was afraid that he would regret what he said the next second.

Hearing this question said in this way, Lin Cheng’s heart moved. He squatted down so he could be at Lin Momo’s eye level.

“I’m sorry I didn’t find you sooner.”
