Chapter 2460: Chapter 2460: Real Dad? Fake Dad!
Ye Zhanxing opened his lips softly, his tone revealing no emotion, but the look he gave Ye Mingmei was meaningful.
"Me?"
Ye Mingmei was completely stunned and looked up at Ye Zhanxing in shock, then suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at Bai Zheng.
Bai Zheng met her surprised gaze, the smile on his lips becoming more pronounced.
Without rushing to speak, he picked up little Meimei in his arms, "Weren’t we going to the amusement park? Let the butler take you back to the room to wash your face and change clothes first. When Dad and Mom finish talking, we’ll set off."
"Okay!" Little Meimei agreed excitedly, climbing off Bai Zheng’s lap in one go. After running a few steps towards her room, she stopped and turned back hesitantly, "Daddy, can you call brother Tingye to come with us?"
"Brother Tingye? Dan Hanjie’s son, Dan Tingye?" Bai Zheng furrowed his brows, unable to understand how little Meimei had become so close to little Tingye.
Finally, looking at little Meimei’s expectant face, he gritted his teeth, "Alright, I’ll call him for you."
"I love Daddy the most!"
Little Meimei pouted with satisfaction, then swiftly turned and ran to her room.
Bai Zheng’s gaze followed little Meimei’s figure until she entered the room, then he retracted his gaze.
Meeting Ye Mingmei’s astonished eyes, he raised an eyebrow, "You look like you have a lot of questions for me. Go ahead and ask."
"Are you...?"
Ye Mingmei bit her lip, the name was on the tip of her tongue, ready to slip out, but she seemed to lose the courage to ask.
If she didn’t ask, she could still pretend everything was real; if she did, even the illusion would be gone.
But the way Bai Zheng spoke to little Meimei...
"Are you Yu Xiuzhun?"
This simple sentence took all of Ye Mingmei’s strength to utter, and her hands resting on her knees tightened unconsciously, her knuckles turning white.
Bai Zheng seemed to have guessed what she wanted to ask. Upon hearing her question, his expression remained unchanged, only his eyes deepened slightly, gazing directly at her pale face.
"I told you, I am Bai Zheng."
"Then why did you just say to little Meimei..."
"What else did you want me to say? To tell little Meimei she was mistaken, that I’m not her dad, just someone who looks exactly like him?"
Bai Zheng opened his lips abruptly, his tone indescribably cold.
This kind of answer could never come from his mouth, never!
Not waiting for Ye Mingmei to speak, he continued, "Moreover, I came today to fight for the chance to become little Meimei’s father."
"..."
Ye Mingmei’s eyes tightened, the disappointment in her heart not yet concealed, and upon hearing Bai Zheng’s words, she was completely stunned!
What did he mean by coming to fight to be little Meimei’s father?
"Does Miss Ye believe in love at first sight?" Bai Zheng glanced at Ye Zhanxing, then shifted his gaze to Ye Mingmei, repeating what he had just told Ye Zhanxing.
"I admire Miss Ye’s courage and her concern for her daughter. Women like Miss Ye are rare nowadays. If Miss Ye doesn’t dislike me, I hope you can give me a chance to pursue you."
"... What did you say?" Ye Mingmei’s eyes widened, genuine surprise and shock written all over her face.
Looking at Bai Zheng, who appeared sincere and serious, she was at a complete loss to process what she had just heard.
Was she hearing things?
How could she and Bai Zheng—a man who looked exactly like Yu Xiuzhun—possibly...
