  She had never once thought that she would have a child of her own… This child was so close that she could see her every day, yet it had never crossed Nian Xiaomu’s mind that this child was actually a part of her. This child was her biological daughter!

  Nian Xiaomu trembled all over, unable to control her emotions.

  Every step she took felt like stepping on cotton wool, and Nian Xiaomu had no idea how she made her way out of the bank.

  Clutching the DNA report so tightly that blue veins popped up on the back of her hands, Nian Xiaomu refused to loosen her grip in case this was only an illusion that would disappear once she let go of the report.

  Standing still by the side of the road, she even forgot to hail a taxi.

  From the time that she found out that she had a child to finding out who her daughter was, only one day had passed.

  She had gone through so much shock that she did not know how she should react…


  Like a lunatic, she found herself laughing and crying at the same time.

  Then, the image of Xiao Liuliu’s exquisite face flashed past her eyes, and she recalled how Xiao Liuliu had sweetly pounced into her embrace, calling her “Pretty Mommy.”


  Snapping back to her senses, Nian Xiaomu hailed a taxi and gave the driver the address of the Yu Family villa.

  At the very next second, her cell phone rang.

  Taking her phone out, she picked up the call immediately when she saw the caller ID display.

  Tan Bengbeng’s tired voice rang from the other side of the call and said, “I have just returned from overseas today and went back to the hospital to settle some matters. I forgot to turn my phone on and only just found out that you were looking for me. What’s up?”


  Nian Xiaomu tightened her grip on the DNA report as she listened to Tan Bengbeng. Then, she asked, “Where are you now? There’s something I need to talk to you about right now!”


  “Hospital,” Tan Bengbeng answered.

  After hanging up the call, Nian Xiaomu heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she instructed the driver to re-route to the hospital that Tan Bengbeng worked at.

  Shortly after, the taxi arrived at the hospital.

  Nian Xiaomu frequently used to visit Tan Bengbeng at the hospital, so she was familiar with the layout. After registering at the counter, she headed straight to Tan Bengbeng’s office.

  She stopped to think for a bit and then stored the DNA report in her bag.

  Taking a deep breath, she patted her pale face with her hands to make sure that she looked fine before knocking on the door.

  “Come in.” Tan Bengbeng’s indifferent voice rang from inside the office.

  After that, the door opened from the inside.

  Tan Bengbeng had opened the door personally, and when she saw that it was Nian Xiaomu, a big smile appeared on her usually expressionless face as she stepped forward to give her a hug.

  “You must have missed me a lot since you’re here to look for me on my first day back!”


  After greeting Nian Xiaomu, Tan Bengbeng let go of her and turned back to drag a chair from her desk to let Nian Xiaomu sit down.

  Then, she leaned against the desk with arms akimbo and tilted her head to look at Nian Xiaomu.

  “You mentioned on the phone that you have something urgent to talk to me about. What is it?”


  “…”


  Looking at the person across from her, Nian Xiaomu felt a little nervous just thinking about all the revelations that she had been through today.

  She did not know how to get started with all the questions in her mind.

  However, Tan Bengbeng’s gaze was bright and clear, soothing the frustration within Nian Xiaomu.

  “I went to another hospital for a health checkup today.”


  “…” Startled by her words, Tan Bengbeng turned to look at Nian Xiaomu.

  Realizing that she might have appeared too agitated, Tan Bengbeng immediately picked up her cup and took a sip from it before asking, “Why did you get another health checkup when you just had one at my hospital?”
