After smoking a cigarette in silence on the windowsill, Zhong Teng went to the nurse’s desk and asked where Zhong Ze was hiding.
The hospital was invested by Zhong Group partly, so Zhong Ze could do whatever he wanted to do in the hospital and had a nurse as an accomplice, but what happened last night was unforgivable.
“Crunch –” Pushing the door open, Zhong Teng saw Zhong Ze and Qingbao sitting on the hospital bed laughing.
“Daddy! When Qingbao saw Zhong Teng, he rolled out of bed and ran into his arms.
Zhong Teng looked at Zhong Ze sullenly. Qingbao shivered in his arms because he felt his father’s anger.
“Who gave you the aphrodisiac?”
Zhong Teng made himself calm down and sat down on the stool with Qingbao in his arms. His eyes were still staring at Zhong Ze.
“Cupid. It’s only for predestined people.”
Zhong Ze was surprised by his brother’s anger, but he did not turn a hair.
“If I give you a match, you’ll dare to eat a leopard! Is it actually against me?” How dare you play tricks on me?” Zhong Teng said, with a more chilling tone.
“A single spark can start a prairie fire, and it was not me but your son who drugged you.” Zhong Ze shrugged and passed the buck to Qingbao.
Zhong Teng lifted an eyebrow and looked down at Qingbao in his arms.
“Uncle Ze said if I put something in the drink, daddy and mommy could give me a sister. I wanted a little sister and a little brother, so I poured the whole bag of powder in.”
Qingbao looked at Zhong Teng earnestly with her big flashing eyes. When his father’s face grew increasingly sullen, his mouth crumpled and he almost cried.
“Qingbao…”
Zhong Teng restrained his emotions and hugged Qingbao lovingly, feeling guilty for his absence in the past six years, and more gratified by the fact that Qingbao was his own son.
When Zhong Ze smacked his lips and shook his head, ready to improvise a poem and recite it, the door was pushed open again and Mo Xiaomo burst in with her red and swollen eyes.
“Mommy!
Qingbao shouted with joy, ready to jump into Mo Xiaomo’s arms.
“Qingbao, go home with Mommy.”
There was a strong twang in Mo Xiaomo’s voice, which seemed like that she choked with sobs.
She was not in the mood to know who had doped her yesterday. She just wanted to get out of here, away from Zhong Teng, with her baby.
“Where are Qingbao’s brothers and sisters? Qingbao looked over Mo Xiaomo’s shoulder and asked.
‘What? Mo Xiaomo frowned in confusion. Zhong Ze in bed laughed loudly and forgot that he was the culprit. Zhong Teng didn’t feel right so he directly raised his hand to cover Qingbao’s mouth and stopped him from saying those “innocent” words.
“Well…” Qingbao pulled away and grabbed Mo Xiaomo by her thigh, muttering, “Didn’t Daddy and Mommy make a younger brother and sister for me last night?”
Mo Xiaomo staggered and almost lost her footing. Zhong Teng got up quickly to help her, but Mo Xiaomo ran away as if she was touched by something scary. Her face turned white.
‘Don’t touch me! All she was willing to say to Zhong Teng were these three words.
Zhong Teng looked at the hickey Zhong Teng left on her white neck, feeling agonized.
“Don’t frighten our son…”
Zhong Teng softened his voice and unspeakable emotion rolled in his eyes.
Mo Xiaomo didn’t want to talk to Zhong Teng. She bent over, hugged Qingbao tightly in her arms and opened the door, ready to go out.
“Dad…”
Confused, Qingbao called Zhong Teng.
‘Don’t call him dad! Qingbao!”
Mo Xiaomo was driven angry and her voice got distorted with pain. “Mommy take you back to France and find you another daddy. This man has nothing to do with us!”
Hearing Mo Xiaomo’s words, Zhong Teng felt as if he had been pricked in the heart. He grabbed Qingbao’s arm and said, “I’m Qingbao’s real dad. I’m Qingbao’s only father!”
“Let go of us!” Mo Xiaomo screamed, “Qingbao’s mine, Qingbao’s mine!”
This man, who she wanted to cut him to pieces, was not qualified to be Qingbao’s father!
