Lin Yuanchang was the name of Old Master Lin. Because he was the head of the household, Old Master Lin’s name was on the first page of the household registration book.

Hearing Lin Momo’s question, Lin Cheng’s eyes moved slightly and he replied, “That’s dad’s grandfather. You should call him great-grandfather.” 

“Great-grandfather?” This title was a bit unfamiliar to Lin Momo.

Before this, Lin Momo had no idea that she had a great-grandfather, so she couldn’t help but be curious about this new relative of hers.

“Dad, what kind of person is great-grandpa?” Lin Momo asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng seemed to think about it for two seconds, then suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth and replied seriously. “A strange person.” 

“Huh?” Lin Momo didn’t understand what Lin Cheng meant by ‘strange’. She has completely forgotten what she had said about Old Master Lin when they met him at their small restaurant. So when Lin Cheng said this, Lin Momo looked confused.

“A strange person…” Lin Momo picked her fingers and muttered to herself.

“Well, Dad?” Lin Momo said again, looking up at Lin Cheng again.

“Mm?”

“Great-grandpa, is he sick now?” Lin Momo asked with concern.

Lin Cheng thought about it and said, “He’s doing okay.” 

Old Master Lin has recovered well from his previous physical problems, and he was still in good health these days. Ever since he found out that he had a great-grandchild, the old man seemed to be much happier than before.

“Are we going to see Great-grandpa?” Lin Momo continued to ask.

“You’ll meet him later,” Lin Cheng said, paused, and then added, “Grandpa is going to be busy these days.” 

When Lin Cheng was still young, he had no choice but to stay at the Lin’s house and face Lin Zhenhong, Ye Yun, and Lin Zhenming’s family. He saw first hand the hypocrisy and ugliness of people. Now that he had a choice, Lin Cheng would not let his child face such duplicitous people.

By the time he has dealt with the hidden dangers planted by Lin Zhenhong and Lin Zhenming in the Lin family’s business, Old Master Lin should have also cleaned up the mess in the Lin family’s main residence.

Lin Momo didn’t know what Lin Cheng was really thinking about. When she heard what the other party said, she nodded seriously and said, “Okay.” 

… …

Over at the Lin family main house.

Old Master Lin—who was holding his cell phone and watching an advertisement to earn voting tickets for Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s team—sneezed inexplicably.

“It must be some petty guy again who is talking bad about me and spreading rumors about me behind my back,” Old Master Lin muttered, frowning.

Hearing the old man’s ‘superstitious words’, Butler Zhou couldn’t help but smile and reminded, “Old master, you might catch a cold. Please quickly change out of this short-sleeved T-shirt you are wearing.”

… …

Lin Cheng took Lin Momo back to his home in Grand Riverside.

Arriving at the door of the house, Lin Momo turned her head and glanced at Lin Cheng. When she saw Lin Cheng nodding, Lin Momo stepped forward and opened the door with her fingerprint.

Lin Momo’s fingerprints were recorded into the security system before they set off for the program recording last week. At that time, Lin Momo felt a little strange why her father wanted to take her fingerprints.

Now, Lin Momo had a thought.

“Dad, did you already know you were my dad last week?” Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng with eyes full of surprise.

“Yeah,” Lin Cheng nodded.

“Then why didn’t you tell me,” Lin Momo whispered.

“I did tell you.”

“Huh? When?” How come she didn’t know this?

Then Lin Cheng said calmly, “While you were asleep.”

Lin Momo: “…”

Seeing her daughter’s deflated appearance, the corners of Lin Cheng’s mouth rose a little more.

“Let’s go in.”

“Oh.”

Lin Momo opened the door.

The moment she opened the door, the first thing Lin Momo saw was a pair of very conspicuous yellow slippers placed on the mat at the door.

“It’s Spongebob!” Lin Momo said in surprise.

“I prepared it for you, see if the size fits.”

“Okay!”

Lin Momo couldn’t wait to put on the slippers. They were different from the pair that Chen Yu and the others prepared before, which were half a heel short for her feet. This pair was just the right size.

“Thank you, Dad.”

“No need to say ‘thank you’,” Lin Cheng said, rubbing Lin Momo’s head.

The two of them entered the house.

Only then did Lin Momo realize that the house was different from when she came here before.

The whole house was still as clean as ever, but it was no longer as empty, cold, or serious. There were a few more colored throw pillows on the sofa, and there were a lot of green plants everywhere in the room… 

The biggest, most impossible to ignore change was the large fish tank in the middle of the living room, acting as a partition. It was taller than Lin Momo.

However, at this time, there was only one small grass carp a little over four centimeters long swimming in the entire gigantic fish tank.

During the previous week’s recording, when the father and daughter went to buy fish at the vegetable market, the fish stall owner picked it out from a pile of large grass carp and gave it to Lin Momo to play with.

Unexpectedly, Lin Cheng actually brought it back for her.

“Thank—” Lin Momo was about to say ‘thank you’ to Lin Cheng, but when she caught his meaningful gaze, she suppressed her smile and instead just gave Lin Cheng a big smile.

“Have a look in your room,” Lin Cheng urged her.

Lin Momo’s bedroom was still the one she had chosen for the previous recording; Lin Cheng hadn’t changed it.

However, when Lin Momo opened the door, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the interior had completely changed.

It was not the pink and tender, fairy-tale style that Chen Yu and the others arranged before but had changed to a design that Lin Momo actually preferred.

The wall was painted light beige; the curtains were beige and pink, with some small floral patterns, and paired very well with the similarly-themed bed sheets and quilts. There was also a small dressing table, a small chair, and various useful items in the room. There were shelves and cabinets, and there were also many cute little ornaments and dolls…

The whole room looked cozy and warm. Very cute indeed.

Lin Cheng didn’t ask Lin Momo if she liked the room—he could already tell from the brilliant smile on the girl’s face.

“Put your things in the closet,” Lin Cheng said.

Lin Momo didn’t have many things, and the two bags in Lin Cheng’s hands were all that Lin Momo took from her old house.

“Okay!”

“Do you want me to help you tidy up?” Lin Cheng asked again.

Lin Momo shook her head without thinking and simply refused, “No. I can do it myself.”

Lin Cheng nodded. “Call me if you have anything you need.” 

After saying that, Lin Cheng walked out the door and left his daughter to arrange her new room as she liked.
