Chapter 695: Love Takes Root (140)
Seeing them, Nan Ningyi ran over, "Uncle!"
Xu Mohan smiled and picked her up, "Ningyi."
Seeing this scene, Mo Lingqi felt inexplicably jealous.
Nan Yuesheng specially wore a scarf around her neck, which Xu Mohan bought for her when they went out.
She changed her shoes and came in, sitting on the vacant sofa with Xu Mohan, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Mo Lingqi saw her face glowing and in good spirits, and asked, "Can Ningyi stay with me two days a week?"
"No."
"Do you have to be like this? I am her biological father, I want to fulfill my responsibilities."
"I don’t need you to be responsible." Nan Yuesheng was reluctant to discuss the matter of the child with him, "Your wife is also pregnant, and she will have your child in a few months; you are not lacking opportunities to be a father. Stop troubling yourself. Since Ningyi’s birth, the Mo Family hasn’t liked her. Now, just leave us alone entirely, or else I’ll get annoyed. I’ve already changed Ningyi’s surname to follow mine; she has no relation to the Mo Family anymore. You also should stop claiming to be the child’s father; let’s just mind our own businesses—I’m fine, you’re fine, everyone’s fine."
"Did you even ask the child’s opinion? You just decide on your own."
"I am her guardian; she’s only three years old, the decision is mine to make." Nan Yuesheng stated firmly, leaving no room for doubt.
"I want to take care of her; how is that troubling myself?!" Mo Lingqi’s gaze locked on her, "I’ve thought it through carefully, although you don’t need or want me to, I don’t want to fail this child. Yuesheng, I don’t want to sue you for custody. Even though you raised the child, it’s not like I neglected her without reasons."
"Fight for custody?" Nan Yuesheng sneered at him, "You want to fight me for her custody? I’d dare you, even if you had three times the courage! Mo Lingqi, there’s no room for negotiation in this matter, you shouldn’t bother anymore. As for the child, I won’t let you raise her for even a day, drop that thought."
"You don’t have to worry about that happening." Xu Mohan held her hand, "Take Ningyi and go home first; I think the furniture delivery is arriving soon. I’ll have a word with Mr. Mo and follow shortly."
"Okay." Nan Yuesheng walked away with her daughter.
Three men were left in the living room.
Long Yubei had his arms crossed, looking amused.
"Everyone should lead their lives and all will be well. I don’t care what Ningyi means to you, but you should understand what she means to me now. She is my daughter, and I am her father. As for you, if you continue to claim the identity of the child’s father, I’ll end you, try if you don’t believe me."
After finishing his speech, Xu Mohan stood up and left. Mo Lingqi suddenly stood up and retorted, "No matter what you say, I am the child’s biological father, her blood is my blood! You say you are her father, how could that be possible? Why hasn’t she ever called you ’Dad’? She definitely doesn’t see you as her dad."
Xu Mohan paused his steps, turned around and scoffed, "It seems my words just now had no impact on you."
He raised his hand, priming a strong force to strike Mo Lingqi, but Long Yubei stepped in and blocked it, "Third brother, please be merciful, I will talk to him."
Xu Mohan left, and a pale-faced Mo Lingqi came to his senses, "What was... that just now?"
