The little girl's shout woke Shi Lin up.
He let go of the little girl's arms.
He took a few deep breaths and adjusted his emotions.
"Tell me in detail," he said to her with a serious face. How did your mother die? Why do you call me daddy?"
Having been in a position of power for many years, his entire aura changed when he became serious.
After he let go of her, Chen Anan looked at him in fear.
He took two steps back.
It was only then that she realized that she had been too excited just now.
She thought of everything in a positive light.
She didn't even know what kind of person her father was.
She ran over just like that.
Although in her mother's diary, her father was a very good person.
However, almost 20 years had passed. Was he still the same person?
No one could guarantee this.
Seeing the little girl's fearful gaze and slightly shrinking body, Shi Lin knew that he had scared her.
He adjusted his emotions.
He walked to the water dispenser, took two cups of warm water, and handed one to her.
He also drank a cup.
"I'm sorry. I was too excited just now and couldn't control myself.”
"Let's sit down and talk. Can you tell me about your relationship?”
Chen Anan took the water and nodded with a wronged face.
He sat on the sofa and said,
"I don't know much about the details. I only learned about it from my mother's diary and my grandparents.”
"18 years ago, when you and Mom were in your second year of university, Mom was diagnosed with cancer, and it was already in the late stages.”
"She didn't want to burden you, so she broke up with you.”
"Not long after they broke up, she found out that she was pregnant.”
"Mom struggled for a long time and decided to give birth to me and brother.”
"After giving birth to me and my brother, my mother's health worsened. She died not long after.”
"After that, Grandpa and Grandma raised me and my brother until now…"
She tried to describe it as simply as possible.
Shi Lin, on the other hand, was filled with sorrow and regret.
It turned out that Chen Mengyan suddenly broke up with him because of this reason.
It turned out that there were two children between them.
It turned out that he had misunderstood her all these years.
So it was really her who had silently shouldered everything…
After Chen Anan said that, the room fell into dead silence.
Shi Lin sat motionlessly on the sofa and did not speak for a long time.
The little girl glanced at him carefully.
After a long time, the little girl finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Dad, are you okay?”
"I'm fine."
Shi Lin waved his hand.
At this moment, he already believed 70 - 80% of what the little girl said.
However, just to be safe.
He still said to the little girl,
"This news is too sudden. I can't digest it in a short time.”
"Can you give me some time? Let me sort it out."
"After I sort out this matter, I'll come and find you, okay?”
Chen Anan's face froze for a moment before she nodded.
If she had suddenly received such news, she probably wouldn't have been as calm as her father.
His ex-lover had passed away and left him with two children. Who could handle this?
Thinking of this, Chen Anan smiled brightly.
Like a small sun, it illuminated the stone forest that was filled with fog.
"Of course. My brother and I are in our third year of high school.
Brother is in class one, and I'm in class 18.
You can come and find us anytime.
Why don't I write down my home address for you?”
"Are you still at the Experimental Primary School?" Shi Lin asked.”
Even though 18 years had passed, he still remembered the address of Chen Mengyan's home.
"Yes, yes, it's there."
Chen Anan said excitedly.
She did not expect that after so many years, her father would still remember where they lived. That was also where her mother used to live.
"Alright, I understand."
"I'll look for you two in two days."
"My phone number is on this. If you need anything, you can call this number to find me.”
Shi Lin took out a golden name card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Anan.
Chen Anan took the business card happily.
This was her father's contact information. She had to stay here.
Ever since she and her brother found out about her father's existence, they had been thinking about finding him.
However, she did not have her father's contact information and did not know where he lived. She had never been able to find him.
Today, she finally had her father's contact information.
"Dad, I have a question."
"Tell me."
Shi Lin had basically tacitly acknowledged her calling him father.
He had to wait for him to confirm it later.
"When I'm free, can I call this number to talk to you?”
The little girl looked at him seriously, her eyes filled with desire.
She had never had a father or mother since she was young, so she really yearned for it.
Seeing this, Shi Lin's heart softened and he felt a little guilty.
This child had not enjoyed the love of his parents for 17 years. He had suffered.
He reached out to touch the little girl's hair and said with a smile,""Of course, you can call me anytime.”
Seeing that he had agreed, the little girl's face was filled with excitement.
He didn't have any objections to Shi Lin touching his hair.
"Then I'll call one now! Daddy, remember my phone number too!”
The little girl immediately took out her phone and called Shi Lin.
Firstly, she wanted her father to remember her phone number. Secondly, she wanted to verify if the phone number her father gave her was real.
Seeing Shi Lin take out her phone from her pocket, she was overjoyed.
Daddy didn't lie to me, he didn't give me a fake number!
She had always been afraid that the number Shi Lin had given her was fake.
She wondered if her father had his own family now.
It was quite normal for them to not want to acknowledge the two children, right?
Giving him a fake number and then disappearing…
If that was the case, she would really be heartbroken.
She wanted to find Shi Lin to reunite with him, not to get any practical benefits from him.
However, she had never had a father since she was young, and she longed for fatherly love.
As a veteran, Shi Lin naturally saw through the little girl's thoughts.
He reached out and rubbed her little head.
"Silly girl, why would I lie to you?"”
He saved the little girl's number into his phone and showed it to her.
"Are you relieved now?"
"Yes, yes!"
The little girl nodded happily.
Although she did not mention her daughter, she was already very happy.
However, what she did not know was that Shi Lin's hand was holding two strands of her hair.
