She looked even prettier when she smiled.

"Little princess of the mortal world, runaway Disney princess" really fit her to a T.

As a return compliment, Suisui would praise the other person too: "You’re good-looking too."

Lin Shi’s lips curled into a smile. Even though he was only eighteen, even though he had just become an adult, even though he didn’t have a girlfriend yet, nothing could stop his desire to have a daughter.

Taking advantage of the fact that little Suisui wasn’t quite so wary of him now, Lin Shi went in for the kill and asked, "Can you tell bro..." Okay, he still wanted to save some face, "Can you tell uncle why you call him Chi Yu?"

After asking this, Lin Shi gave himself a big thumbs-up in his heart.

So smart.

Even though coaxing words out of a kid like this was kind of immoral, this curiosity was really about to suffocate him. He really, really wanted to know whether this little girl was actually Chi Yu’s daughter.

If she was, then that would be seriously wild—he’d cut off his own path to superstardom before he even truly blew up.

These days, artists with kids could only be actors; they couldn’t be top traffic stars or commercial-level big shots. He remembered that Yi Shu had planned a traffic-route career for Chi Yu.

Among the guests present, there were only a few of them. Aside from Lin Shi, who still refused to give up, someone Lin Xijiang’s age didn’t have such strong curiosity, while Fu Yao was actually already pretty sure. But talking too much about something without real confirmation wasn’t good—what if they were wrong, right? As the one who knew best, Sheng Yi found Lin Shi’s stubborn curiosity funny, but also felt his behavior was kind of pointless.

What a "must-break-the-pot-to-see-what’s-inside" kind of guy.

Even though Fu Yao and Lin Xijiang weren’t as curious as Lin Shi.

At this moment, when Lin Shi started tricking little Suisui again, they still pricked up their ears to listen carefully, and all their gazes fell on little Suisui and Lin Shi.

They only heard little Suisui answer as a matter of course: "He’s Chi Yu ah, just Chi Yu."

Lin Shi reacted quickly: "Chi Yu is his name. Suisui, besides calling his name, what else do you call him?"

Suisui: "Chi Yu~"

Lin Shi didn’t get discouraged: "Besides Chi Yu?"

Suisui puffed out her cheeks: "Friend~"

Lin Shi still didn’t get discouraged: "Besides friend?"

Suisui’s puffed cheeks deflated: "Chi Yu嘛~"

This time Lin Shi was discouraged. The hands propping his cheeks turned into clutching his head as he rubbed, and then the words that had been stuck in his throat blurted out: "Shouldn’t you be calling him Dad?"

As soon as the words fell.

Suisui hadn’t reacted yet.

All the cameras swung in unison to aim at Lin Shi and Suisui.

Sheng Yi gave a light cough, reminding Lin Shi to watch his wording.

Fu Yao and Lin Xijiang exchanged a look, thinking to themselves that young people really couldn’t hold themselves back. But it was understandable; they both knew in their hearts that if they were ten or so years younger, their curiosity would probably be just as sky-high as Lin Shi’s.

Everyone was waiting to hear what Suisui would say.

Suisui spoke slowly: "I don’t have a dad, oh."

Lin Shi had been full of expectation the moment he saw Suisui open her mouth.

But after she spoke, when he heard that "I don’t have a dad," the corners of his lips that had just lifted flattened again, and he was a bit dumbfounded.

W-wait, wait—

Suisui said she doesn’t have a dad??

It wasn’t just Lin Shi whose jaw almost hit the floor; everyone was shocked. It was like something they’d basically taken as a given had suddenly done a huge 180, catching them completely off guard.

Lin Shi seemed a bit unconvinced and looked over at Sheng Yi: "What Suisui said is true?"

Since Suisui had answered herself, Sheng Yi shrugged: "Should be, yeah."

"Should be?" Lin Shi was even more surprised. What kind of answer was that?

Fu Yao and Lin Xijiang were also stunned and both turned to look at Sheng Yi.

Faced with so many eyes on her, Sheng Yi’s head was about to hurt. She dodged the key point and said lightly, "I don’t even know what you’re all suspicious about." She spread both hands. "There are tons of people with the same surname. It’s just a coincidence. Kids don’t lie, right? You all heard her just now. It’s not what you think."

Once Sheng Yi said this.

Everyone finally believed it.

It was true that kids don’t lie.

And Sheng Yi had no reason to lie either.

What Chi Yu said earlier about President Gu resting—clearly they must have misunderstood something.

Besides, there were tons of people with the same surname. Just in this episode, Lin Shi’s surname was Lin, and Lin Xijiang’s surname was Lin too, and there was quite the age gap. You couldn’t just say they were father and son, could you?

Thinking about it that way, once they roughly sorted it out, Lin Shi’s curiosity finally settled: "Alright then, turns out I was entertaining myself for nothing. I hereby announce: melon-eating over."

As the words fell.

Chi Yu just happened to walk out of the house.

When Suisui saw Chi Yu come out, she immediately broke free from Sheng Yi’s arms and ran toward him.

Sheng Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: "Ungrateful little thing."

The others stopped speculating about the relationship between Chi Yu and Suisui. They watched as little Suisui ran toward Chi Yu. Chi Yu bent down and scooped her up with his long arms, then said, "Your mom agreed to let you go, but you have to listen to me, got it?"

Suisui: "Okayyy~"

Everyone’s smiles relaxed.

Who knew the little one would suddenly toss a landmine, blasting everyone till they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—

They only saw Suisui hug Chi Yu’s neck: "Chi Yu, can we sleep together tonight? I wanna sleep in the middle. You’re not allowed to hug Mommy, you gotta hug me, oh."
