Sen Sen hung up and returned to the hall with a straight face. Mo Chen's speed was fast, plus Rong Yan's return made their efficiency double. Before long, they were ready for lunch. It was Sen Sen’s first time eating together with so many people; several elders doted on him, piling food onto his plate and continuously asking if it suited his taste and which dish he liked best.

Sen Sen had good manners, eating all the dishes others served him while also helping himself to the ones he liked. He wasn't shy about it and valued his stomach's limits. Ye Wei and the others noticed that Sen Sen’s table manners were excellent as well; their etiquette was equally superb, earning them the nickname of "living international etiquette books." However, being a family, they ate more casually after meals. In contrast, Sen Sen took great care to follow proper dining etiquette while eating with them.

Everyone thought that perhaps they seemed too rough in front of the child, but it appeared as though he didn't mind their behavior at all when eating.

Sen Sen had a huge appetite; despite his small stature and angry expression, his food intake was comparable to Mo Jue and Mo Ye’s. He added four extra bowls of rice. For a growing boy like Sen Sen, such an appetite was rather terrifying.

Everyone found it frightening, but he didn't seem concerned at all; instead, he ate with great relish.

Baiye returned after eating out and saw everyone gathered around Sen Sen in the hall, having dessert. As soon as Baiye came back, everyone silently watched him, hoping for an answer.

Was he really a child of the Mo family Although it was almost certain, they wanted to know if he was specifically Mo Baixue's child.

Baiye slowly sat down and looked at Sen Sen with a smile in his eyes, making Sen Sen shudder. This uncle’s smile was truly frightening. Mo Baixue started worrying and pulled Baiye, saying, "Uncle Baiye, tell us already."

"Sen Sen is not your child," Baiye cheerfully gave an answer to Mo Baixue who visibly relaxed, showing obvious delight. Sen Sen looked at him expressionlessly, his self-esteem slightly wounded. Sen Sen didn’t necessarily want Mo Baixue to be his father, but such a delighted expression would always hurt him. Wu Shuang quickly hugged Sen Sen and said, "Little treasure, don't mind it. Uncle Bai has someone he likes now; you'll understand when you grow up. He really likes you, just doesn't want you as his son. This is unrelated to who you are."

Mo Baixue felt that he shouldn’t have been so obvious and hurriedly raised his hand to reassure Sen Sen, "Brother truly likes you, very much." Sen Sen continued looking at him expressionlessly.

A flash of inspiration struck Mo Baixue. Oh no, if he’s not his child, then who is Sen Sen's father

Looking at his expressions and mannerisms which were just like Mo Yao’s, could it be his brother's child Damn, Mo Baixue’s eyes sparked with flames as he glared angrily at Mo Yao. Mo Yao looked puzzled; why was he staring at me

Bitten by ants in the heart, feeling both itchy and painful, Mo Baixue hurriedly asked Baiye, "Whose child is he"

Yue Wei and Shiyi were also particularly interested in this topic, feeling quite anxious. Yue Wei felt a bit regretful; she had thought it would be Mo Baixue's child, her grandson, only to find out that it wasn't the case, leaving her with a small sense of disappointment.

However, any child from the Mo family was still her grandson—whether it belonged to Mo Baixue, Mo Chen, or Mo Yao. Yue Wei treated them all equally. With Mo Baixue ruled out, Mo Yao and Mo Chen felt a bit on edge; the biggest possibility didn't exist anymore, so wouldn't there be an unexpected turn of events Mo Chen believed that this couldn’t possibly be his child since he hadn't had any women yet. Similarly, Mo Yao thought it wasn't his child either; he had lost his memory, but instinctively, he felt it was not his child.

The two brothers looked at each other uncertainly as Yue Wei turned to look at Mo Jue and Mo Ye, "Actually, there's a possibility that you could be the parents too."

Moe and Mo Jue exchanged glances before both glaring at Yue Wei. Shiyi muttered to herself, "That does seem likely."

Mo Ye said, "Shiyi, saying this makes me sad; how can it possibly be true." His innocence couldn’t be tainted by anyone, not even his beloved wife. Shiyi was embarrassed; they had all assumed it would be Mo Baixue's child, but now that wasn't the case, and neither Mo Yao nor Mo Chen had any women yet, so there was no way for them to have a child. Therefore, every member of the Mo family was possible—it could happen with anyone. Mo Ye even explained further while Mo Jue didn’t bother explaining anything; he didn’t even look at Yue Wei.

"If it’s my child, I’ll strangle him immediately," said Mo Jue without any explanation, directly stating his solution.

Mo Jue had always been a man of action.

Bai Ye kept them on tenterhooks as he watched the chaos unfold. Chu Li and Rong Yan stood by watching the spectacle; Wushuang fed Sensen fruits while waiting for Bai Ye's announcement. From his expression, it was clear that this child had to be from the Mo family.

The key question was whose seed it was.

No matter who’s child it was, Wushuang felt she could accept it; after all, such an adorable child would be loved by everyone. Of course, it couldn’t possibly belong to Dadi (father) or Big Uncle, otherwise there would really be a family upheaval.

Kaka played with Sensen: "Look, having a son is better, right He’s so well-behaved; how could you not have a son"

"Didn't you say daughters are good"

"Having sons and then daughters, the brother protecting his sister—no need to worry about that, right" Kaka said with a smile, just like he had always protected Chu Chu since childhood. Although Chu Li did care too, it never matched how much Kaka worried.

Rongyan said to Baiye, "Baye, don't keep them hanging on anymore. Who is Sensen's father It's Mochen."

Mochen had been playing the entire day and pointed at his own nose, saying, "Why would it be me"

Rongyan said, "I think Sensen resembles you in temperament."

"He looks more like Brother Leader," Mochen pointed at Moyao. Moxiaobai, with a guilty conscience, said, "Little brother, Sensen looks the most like you; he doesn't look like your older brother at all."

Sensen was unhappy and bounced down from Wu Wujie's back to walk towards the hall. He had thought everyone in Mo Family would welcome him warmly, but surprisingly, none of them seemed to like him.

One person was delighted when he heard that Sensen wasn't his father; another said that if Sensen were indeed his son, he'd rather die by strangulation. What kind of family is this How could they welcome him He shouldn't have come here.

Sensen felt curious about who his father was, which led him to visit Mo Family in the first place. Now that he thought about it, he realized how misguided he had been; nobody cared whether or not he was their son. What was the point of coming here Kakak rushed forward and picked up Sensen. Struggling with red face full of anger, Sensen tried his best to get down.

The adults noticed Sensen's anger and hurriedly asked Baiye, "Don't be coy anymore; just tell us who this child is."

Baiye said, "Rongyan has already told you." Everyone realized it was Mochen. They all turned their gazes toward him in unison, startling Mochen for a moment. He couldn’t quite wrap his head around the idea of having a son.

Sensen quieted down and looked at the shocked Mochen. At least Mochen did not show any signs of rejection but was somewhat surprised. Xiashi seemed pleased about this development. Kakak sat Sensen to one side as Mochen muttered, "Didn't you check whether Sensen is Xiaobai's child How come he turned out to be my son"

"I sent the hair samples of all three of you for testing to rule out any uncertainties; that way I can still rely on magic spells. Otherwise if Sensen and Xiaobai did not match but were indeed related, I would have needed you guys to undergo another test which would waste time." Baiye said indifferently while looking at Mochen in a teasing manner, "Congratulations, my boy."

Mochen thought, What the hell kind of joy is this Just shock with no happiness. After so many years of being celibate waiting for his first love, he ended up with some child instead. He had absolutely no recollection of ever losing his virginity or how this kid could even be his.

Oh my, who's going to tell him what’s happening

Mu Xia chuckled at Mu Chen's astonishment. "Just a few days ago you were laughing the loudest at Little White. Well, turns out the wheel of fortune has turned."

Mu Chen cried out in frustration. Damn it, how fast can this turn

The outcome wasn't what they had originally expected, but it was better than before. If Sen Sen were Mu Xiaobai's son, there would have been trouble. They all believed that Mu Xiaobai and Mu Yao were a pair; suddenly having a child pop up would be unfair to Mu Yao. Furthermore, with a kid involved, the mother would also become part of the equation, making it difficult to resolve the issue. Now that Sen Sen was determined to be Mu Chen's son, everything had become much easier.

Mu Chen could just marry the child’s mother instead of fighting over custody rights. A woman raising a child for so long is no easy feat; they wouldn’t be heartless enough to deprive her of her right to choose and separate her from her child. Moreover, he had a good relationship with her, there was no need to damage their rapport just because of this matter. If the child ended up hating them, it would be counterproductive.

"Mu Chen, when did you have a kid" Ye Wei asked; they all thought Mu Chen was still a雛鳥 (chūniǎo), yet he had managed to create such an outcome. Mu Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "See that expression He doesn't even remember himself. That's truly irresponsible."

Mu Chen felt wronged; if he didn’t remember, how could he be responsible If he did remember, of course he would take responsibility. People from the Mu family had a strong sense of duty; once they had a child, whether or not they liked women, they would marry them.

But… Heaven knows, he really didn't know.

Kaka saw this and tossed Sen Sen into his arms. "Come on, you two should bond." Mu Chen instinctively caught the child and held him close; Sen Sen looked up curiously at Mu Chen, wondering if he was truly his father

Even in shock, Mu Chen thought of Sen Sen's earlier unhappiness and thus didn't show much rejection. In fact, he wasn’t rejecting Sen Sen at all—he actually liked the child.

It was just too unexpected.

He hadn’t been prepared for this.

He didn’t even know how to greet Sen Sen.nd one thousand. She could afford it. Since it was getting late, there weren’t many people in the shop. There were three girls trying on clothes when Warmth and Ye Fei Mo walked in, but they immediate...
