Chapter 54 - 54: Ling Lin Has a Father
That night, Li Ze accompanied Pei Xin for a meal and they watched IV together.
At nine, Pei Xin called Ling Jin.
After Ling Jin picked up the call, Ling Lin’s voice rang in his ears.
“Did Mommy call?” Ling Lin’s voice sounded.
Pei Xin immediately felt her heart melt.
She immediately called Ling Jin via video call, and Ling Lin’s adorable face appeared on the other end of the call.
Ling Lin had already returned home safe and sound. However, the wound from the stunt was still on his head, so he still needed a gauze over it.
When Li Ze saw Ling Lin’s adorable appearance, his gaze became exceptionally gentle. When he saw the bandage on Ling Lin’s head, he immediately frowned.
Lu Li had beaten Ling Lin up so badly. Li Ze vowed to remember this.
He said to Ling Lin guiltily, “Ling Lin, it’s me. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to be by your side for the past five years. If there’s a chance in the future, 1’11 bring you over. 1’11 take good care of you, okay?”
Ling Lin blinked his big eyes and didn’t speak to Li Ze. Instead, he asked Pei Xin, “Mom, is what he said true? Is he really my father?”
Pei Xin nodded and smiled warmly. “Yes, Ling Lin. I found your father for you. In the future, you’ll have a father. Everyone else won’t ever dare to bully you ever again. But 1 like Daddy Lu Huai very much too! Mommy, can I have two daddies?” Ling Lin asked disappointedly.
Li Ze narrowed his eyes when he heard the name Lu Huai.
Pei Xin had never mentioned Lu Huai to him.
Lu Huai’s forces were even stronger than his.
He didn’t care about Lu Li, but if Lu Huai also wanted to target Pei Xin, he would have the shorter end of the stick.
“Did Lu Huai bully you too?” Li Ze asked Pei Xin.
Pei Xin quickly explained, “No, Lu Li has been trying to get revenge on me. Lu Huai somehow keeps saving me from the trouble. If it wasn’t for Lu Huai, I wouldn’t even be here right now.”
Hearing this, Li Ze relaxed a little.
Fortunately, Lu Huai was not his enemy.
However, when he heard Pei Xin mention Lu Huai’s care for her, Li Ze became a little jealous.
When Ling Lin was talking to Pei Xin, he would always praise Lu Huai.
Li Ze pretended to be jealous. “Ling Lin, I’m your father. You can’t call Lu Huai Daddy anymore. You can call him Uncle Lu Huai.”
“The next time we meet, I’ll definitely buy a lot of gifts for you. If others have them, you’ll have them too, okay?”
Ling Lin was a little hesitant. Although he could not bear to part with Lu Huai, Lu Huai was not his biological father.
Now that he had found his real father, he should stand with him.
Thinking of this, Ling Lin nodded. “1 understand, Daddy. From now on, Lu Huai will be Uncle Lu Huai!”
“Good boy.” Li Ze smiled.
He already wanted to take a plane to be by Ling Lin’s side, hold him in his arms, talk to him, and play with him.
Pei Xin saw that Ling Lin and Li Ze were getting along very well, and she couldn’t help but smile.
However, Ling Jin looked displeased. He took the phone and encouraged Ling Lin to go to sleep first, then stared at Li Ze with displeasure.
“Since you’re Ling Lin’s father, why haven’t you been helping her for the past five years?” Ling Jin questioned him.
“You bullied my sister back then and left. You caused my sister so much pain. Where were you when my sister and Ling Lin were suffering?”
“This matter has nothing to do with him,” Pei Xin quickly said to Ling Jin.
“Li Ze was also a victim of the night at the hotel. He was drugged by another girl, and he still didn’t know who that girl was all these years.”
“It wasn’t until 1 showed up at Haicheng and we met that he went to do a DNA test. Only then did we find out the truth.”
Hearing Pei Xin’s explanation, Ling Jin’s expression softened slightly..
