Li Bingbing was on her way back to the room where her husband and children were but when she stood in front of the door, she heard Xia Sinian"s voice.
"I have the proof that she is your daughter, I have run a DNA test back then since I wanted to make sure who"s daughter she is."
Huh? What was Xia Sinian talking about?
Li Bingbing continued on to converse with the person on the phone and as she continued to listen to it, she found out that he was actually talking to Lu Xian Yu and he was telling him that Lu Mengjie was... his daughter.
The plastic bag that has the lunchboxes in it fell on the ground when Li Bingbing found out that Lu Mengjie was not Xia Sinian"s daughter and instead, she was Lu Xian Yu"s.
"No... no..." she muttered.
How could Lu Mengjie be Lu Xian Yu"s daughter? She was supposed to be Xia Sinian"s daughter right?
Did that mean that Xia Sinian has always known about the truth? Then why didn"t he tell her about it?
Li Bingbing"s face darkened. She picked up the plastic bag before she entered the room.
"Oh! Mama is here!" Lu Mengjie exclaimed happily.
Lu Xian Yu, who was on the other line stopped breathing when he heard what his daughter said. Was he going to finally see Li Bingbing?
Li Bingbing walked toward them before she grabbed the phone from her daughter. She stared blankly at Lu Xian Yu"s face that was on the screen before she ended the call.
She then turned to Lu Mengjie who was looking at her with her adorable almond-shaped eyes. "Mama? Why did you end the call? Mengmeng was speaking to daddy."
Daddy?
Li Bingbing turned to Xia Sinian. Why? Why was he inviting that man in her family?
"Bingbing, I can explain."
Li Bingbing placed the plastic bag on the bedside before she scooped Lu Mengjie in her arms and hugged her close. Tears welled up on the side of her eyes as she did.
Why? Why was he hiding things from her? First, it was about his condition, next it was about Lu Mengjie"s real father.
Lu Mengjie patted her mother"s wet cheeks, "Mama, don"t cry. Why is mama crying?"
Li Bingbing stared at her daughter, her heart was filled with pain when she thought that she was not Xia Sinian"s daughter.
"Bingbing, Mengmeng has nothing to do with this."
"I know..." She placed Lu Mengjie on the bed before she leaned and kissed his forehead gently. "It was my fault to begin with, I should have known. I... I"m sorry, Sinian..."
Xia Sinian reached out and held her hand, "It doesn"t matter. Mengmeng is still my daughter even if she isn"t mine."
Li Bingbing couldn"t stop her tears from flowing down her cheeks, she cried harder when she thought that she was making it hard for Xia Sinian. He was always the one who would have to adjust and understand her. When she thought about it, she couldn"t help but think that she was just a burden to him.
Xia Liqin grabbed his mother"s s.h.i.+rt and his eyes became tearful when he saw his mother crying, "Mama..."
Lu Mengjie was the same, she didn"t know what was happening but seeing her mother cried made her teary as well, "Mama, please don"t cry."
Xia Sinian leaned to them and hugged them in his arms, "I love you all so much... Bingbing, Mengmeng, Qinqing, never forget that, okay?"
Li Bingbing turned to him with pain in her eyes, "Sisi..."
Lu Xian Yu felt a pang in his chest when he saw how Li Bingbing looked at his with a blank look on her face before she ended the call.
Li Bingbing looked more mature and her curly hair grew long. Seeing her made him want to fly to her.
Even after all the years that pa.s.sed, his feelings still remained the same for her, his love for her was still there.
All these years, he has busied himself by taking care of things in the underworld. He has killed countless people and his group bigger. He grew strong and people feared him more to the point where they didn"t want to go against him anymore.
His t.i.tle as the "Masked Demon" became famous. People thought of him as a demon in a human form. He was merciless and cruel with everyone. No matter who his target was, they wouldn"t be able to escape him.
He was in his office, staring at his phone"s screen. He has a daughter and he has finally saw Li Bingbing. With that, a smile found it"s way on his lips. "Have you tracked it down?"
"Yes, the call was coming from Basel, Switzerland," said Shen Juan.
Lu Xian Yu stood up, "Prepare my things, we are going to Switzerland."
"My son"s birthday is coming up, is it alright if I stay here instead?" asked Shen Juan.
Lu Xian Yu stared at Shen Juan for a while, he remembered what his daughter said, she also said that her birthday was near. "Alright, you handle things here while I"m away."
