Mo Rao smiled. There was no difference. The netizens had been spreading rumors so widely, but had Fu Ying come out to explain himself?

But why did she care about this? Mo Rao felt that she still wasn’t decisive enough.

“Brother Zhang, you don’t have to speak up for him anymore. Our relationship has already ended. Moreover, he took the initiative to look for me and said that he would be my brother in the future.” Mo Rao’s voice was still clear and pleasant, but compared to before, she sounded a little lonesome.

Because of Qu Ru, she and Fu Ying parted ways. She should have accepted this outcome long ago.

Zhang Zhe was silent for a moment before saying, “Rao Rao, actually, the only person Fu Ying loves is you. In the two years you disappeared, he came to find me almost every day to search for clues about your whereabouts.”

Mo Rao nodded. “I know, but this is only because he feels guilty towards me, not because he really loves me.”

Shen Feng had told her before that Fu Ying had been looking for her.

“This…” Zhang Zhe didn’t know how to comfort her. Emotional matters were the hardest to explain.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Momo, let’s cut the cake and eat it!” Mo Rao changed the topic. She didn’t want to mention Fu Ying again, since she didn’t want to feel sad anymore.

Zhang Zhe nodded. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s eat the cake.”

Momo was very happy. Looking at the castle-shaped cake, his eyes were filled with innocence and joy. Zhang Zhe lit a birthday candle for him, while Mo Rao clapped her hands as she sang a birthday song for him. The atmosphere was very harmonious, but it would have been even better if Uncle Fu was here.

Momo didn’t like Fu Ying at first. Later on, when Fu Ying started to come to his house often to visit him and play with him, he gradually felt that this man was quite nice.

However, for some reason, Uncle Fu wasn’t with Sister Rao Rao.

Children didn’t understand these things and only felt that it was a pity.

After making his wish, Momo silently blew out the candle and was about to cut the cake when the doorbell rang again.

Momo immediately jumped up and ran to open the door. As expected, Fu Ying, who was wearing a white shirt, was standing outside. He hadn’t even put on his tie and two to three buttons had been undone. One could vaguely see his very beautiful collarbone.

Fu Ying was also holding a cake in his hand. He had specifically come to celebrate Momo’s birthday. The moment Momo opened the door, Fu Ying saw Mo Rao in the living room.

She was there too?

During this period of time, because of Qu Ru’s request, Fu Ying hadn’t contacted Mo Rao. At the same time, he was afraid of seeing Mo Rao’s hatred and disdain for him.

After all, he couldn’t explain all of this to Mo Rao now.

“Dad, Sister Rao Rao, look, Uncle Fu is here!” Momo was extremely happy as he held Fu Ying’s hand and walked into the living room.

Mo Rao’s expression changed. She retracted her gaze and stopped looking at Fu Ying.

Zhang Zhe went forward to take the cake and smiled awkwardly. “President Fu, why are you here? You actually remembered Momo’s birthday. Thank you so much.”

Why did the two of them bump into each other again? Zhang Zhe felt like a third wheel.

“I remembered that it’s Momo’s birthday today, so I came.” Fu Ying sat down on the sofa beside Mo Rao.

Mo Rao immediately stood up and bid farewell to Zhang Zhe and the others. “Brother Zhang, Momo, I still have something to do and will go back first. I’ll visit you guys next time.”

With that, she prepared to leave.

However, Momo was unwilling and quickly went over to grab her. “Sister Rao Rao, don’t leave!”

It wasn’t easy for Mo Rao to come. How could Momo be willing to let Mo Rao leave so quickly? He pulled Mo Rao’s hand and sat on the sofa. “Play with me for a while longer. I haven’t seen you in a long time. Boohoo…”

In the past two years, he had learned to wheedle.

Fu Ying gazed at Mo Rao deeply, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. He wanted to hug Mo Rao tightly and tell her that he had been acting with Qu Ru these few days, but when he thought of Qu Ru’s threat, he endured it.

No matter what it was, if Qu Ru targeted him, he could accept it. However, if Qu Ru targeted Mo Rao and caused her great harm, he wouldn’t be able to accept it. He had to ensure her safety.

“I’ll come next time.” Mo Rao coaxed Momo.

“No. I want you to accompany me here today. It’s my birthday…” Momo felt sad. He was autistic to begin with and was only happy when he saw Mo Rao and Fu Ying. As he spoke, tears fell.

Seeing Momo cry, Mo Rao panicked and quickly coaxed, “Alright, I’ll play with you for a while longer. Don’t cry.”
