Chapter 942 Zhong Tingyue: Dad, I'm Richer Than You Now

Although Sucheng is very close to Modu, only about an hour’s drive, it is still the place she grew up.

However, she has a special feeling about it, she wants to go and see it, yet fears being discovered.

So, even if she first went to Beijing, Hangcheng, Shen City, she still did not choose to first go to the nearby Sucheng.

In her heart, thoughts involuntarily surfaced, recalling the words her biological father once said behind her back, and every time she thought about them, she felt a piercing cold.

Many times, she wanted to avoid thinking about this, but she couldn’t help but recall it.

Li Yuan noticed Zhong Tingyue’s tone suddenly dropped, and an expression of conflict flashed across her beautiful face, stirring something inside him as he seemed to have realized something.

Previously, he had pondered how Zhong Tingyue’s father might react upon learning of Tingyue’s current situation.

Would he, like in some TV dramas, come to Modu and cause trouble, then intentionally create obstacles, firmly refusing to let Zhong Tingyue and him be together…

In Li Yuan’s mind, various thoughts flashed by. He reached out to hold Zhong Tingyue’s warm, smooth little hand, placing it below his stomach while smiling at her.

“Little Moon, regardless of what happens in the future, remember that I am here behind you.”

Upon hearing Li Yuan’s heartfelt words and seeing his smile mixed with a serious expression, Zhong Tingyue shivered, looked deeply at Li Yuan, and somewhat doubtfully and fearfully asked:

“Senior, do you know what I’m thinking?”

Li Yuan chuckled, reached out to pinch her face white as snow.

He really liked these intimate gestures between couples.

“Little Moon, are you thinking about your family matters?”

“Can you tell me about it?”

With Li Yuan’s words hitting close to home, Zhong Tingyue shivered again—in the past, she had spoken to Li Yuan about it, thinking he had forgotten, only to find he remembered.

“Senior, today, he called me, he already knows our current situation.”

Li Yuan hugged Zhong Tingyue, sensing her inner unease.

“And then, what did your dad say? Did he threaten you?”

Zhong Tingyue shook her head and, without any hesitation, shared the situation.

“No, he just said for me to visit home when I have time.”

“I think he might not know that I am aware of things he said before.”

Li Yuan was unsurprised; such matters might be spoken in private but never openly to even a biological daughter he might not truly care about.

“Little Moon, how do you want to handle this? What’s your plan?”

Looking at Li Yuan, Zhong Tingyue’s voice became firm: “I have no paternal feelings for him, he shouldn’t think about threatening me with anything.”

“The only reason I still acknowledge him is because I don’t want to upset my mom, who still loves him.”

Listening to Zhong Tingyue’s resolute words, Li Yuan was a bit surprised, yet found it natural.

Let alone Zhong Tingyue as a girl, if it were him, he’d likely go even further, feeling the need to retaliate harshly to ease the hatred in his heart.

Li Yuan patted Zhong Tingyue’s head and chuckled: “Little Moon, no matter what decision you make, I support you.”

“Whenever you go to Sucheng, I’ll go with you to meet your father.”

“Senior, thank you!”

Hearing Li Yuan’s offer to accompany her, Zhong Tingyue felt deeply moved, snuggling closely into Li Yuan’s embrace, as if wanting to meld into it.

Li Yuan laughed: “Between us, there’s no need for thanks, it’s what I should do.”

“By the way, when going, let’s change cars.”

Zhong Tingyue asked curiously: “Change cars? Why change cars?”

Li Yuan burst into laughter: “Since we’re going to meet your father, our current car isn’t prestigious enough, we definitely need to arrange for the highest-grade car. Fortunately, before the new year, I’d already ordered a high-end sedan, the sales manager just told me today that the car arrived and the paperwork is done.”

Zhong Tingyue was even more surprised: “Senior, when did you order a car, I didn’t know?”

Li Yuan smiled: “I mentioned before that I was planning to get a high-end sedan for business meetings. This kind of trivial thing, I just casually arranged.”

“Oh!” Zhong Tingyue nodded, curiously asked: “Senior, what car did you order?”

Li Yuan replied: “It’s a top-tier sedan symbolizing identity and status, take a guess.”

“Identity and status? ” Zhong Tingyue’s eyes lit up: “Senior, is it a Rolls-Royce?”

Li Yuan nodded: “Yes, it’s a Rolls-Royce, worth a thousand W, should be impressive enough? It’s among the most expensive models, aside from a few sports cars like Bugatti, Koenigsegg.”

Zhong Tingyue laughed lightly, looking deeply at Li Yuan, jesting: “Senior, are you trying to give my father a shock?”

Li Yuan smiled warmly: “Scaring him would be best, so he doesn’t arrogantly embarrass you. I anticipated this day might come, it’s just right to use it.”

Feeling moved, Zhong Tingyue embraced Li Yuan’s arm, whispering deeply: “Senior, you treat me too well.”

Li Yuan placed Zhong Tingyue’s little hand three inches below his stomach, with a mischievous grin: “My Little Moon, how are you going to repay me?”
