Chapter 12: Finding a Daddy Who Is Tall, Handsome, and Wealthy

“Mommy, I promise that after you go to work, I’ll be a good kid and go to school every day. I absolutely won’t show up in front of Daddy. If you don’t believe me, you can send me to a fully closed boarding school!”

The little darling, delicate and adorable, raised her small hand as if swearing an oath, her earnest expression piercing Yu Jin’s heart.

Children are blameless—they only want to see that man once.

The only fault lies in their encounter not being a beautiful one; she dared not step forward and tell that man the child was his, and she feared that if Dongfang She ever found out, he would come and snatch the baby away.

Yu Jin pressed her lips tightly, her gaze burning with intensity. “From now on, even if you want to see that scoundrel, remember this: don’t hurt yourself! Even if he recognizes you, stay calm!”

Fire was speechless.

How could he stay calm?

If recognized, there were only two possibilities: one, Daddy acknowledges him, announcing it to the world, and everyone rejoices; two, the heartless scoundrel disowns him, turning his back cruelly, leading to utter devastation.

Utter devastation? Fire shivered with goosebumps, instinctively shrinking his little head.

“Did you hear me?” Yu Jin gently tugged his small ear.

“I know, Mommy. Then next time, I’ll wear colored contacts.”

Yu Jin’s forehead crept with three dark lines. After all she said, it seemed he hadn’t absorbed a word!

“A single mom really can’t take this kind of pain. If it weren’t for you, this young and beautiful mommy would have long since made it big on the international stage…”

Yu Jin gave up arguing, cleaning the scrapes on his arm while lamenting her own miserable fate.

“Mommy →_→, stop pretending. After leaving G City, who was so afraid of Daddy finding and tearing us apart that she even abandoned her beloved entertainment career?”

“Blame that scheming, brain-worming Dongfang She! I regret it so much…” Yu Jin thought bitterly. She must have been cursed for eight generations to meet such a man, be completely drained by him, and give birth to such a little troublemaker!

“Mommy, how about we admit our mistakes first? Maybe Daddy will forgive us, and then I could have a happy family.” Fire’s eyes shone with hope for family affection.

“Don’t be silly, dear. Look at the news about him. Would you want such a man as your father? Wouldn’t it be a headache?”

“Well, Daddy has money. He can support us!”

“There are thousands of wealthy men in the world, baby. Don’t hang yourself on this crooked tree called Dongfang She!”

Fire was speechless.

So, in the end, Fire didn’t really take Dongfang She seriously? He just liked his money?

Yu Jin narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled oddly, like a villain from an ancient drama. “How about this—Mommy will find you a daddy who is tall, handsome, and rich? Forget about that butterfly like Dongfang She.”

Fire’s eyes flashed with symbols of money, then quickly transformed into all sorts of complex scientific instruments. The air seemed filled with the rapid tapping of keyboard keys. Watching his little face, identical to Dongfang She’s, Yu Jin felt an inexplicable nervousness.

Fire’s brain was like a quad-core powerful smartphone. In just a brief moment, he had roughly estimated Dongfang She’s private wealth, then looked at Yu Jin with difficulty, furrowing his small brows. “But as far as I know, Mr. Dongfang seems to be the richest person so far. Even Uncle Long in Yunyang City can’t compare…”

Yu Jin’s feigned smile showed signs of cracking. “If not in the country, then surely abroad!”

“But with this face, I’d be immediately recognized as Mr. Dongfang’s illegitimate son. Who would dare volunteer to be my daddy?”

Yu Jin pounded her head on the sofa, playing dead. Indeed, Fire’s face was practically cut from Dongfang She’s own. Wherever he went, he was Dongfang She’s living trademark. Who would dare be his daddy?!
