Chapter 1014: Papa (2)

While Lu Benlai was talking to Lin Jiage, Shi Yao, who was sitting beside him, suddenly interjected.

Leng Keke’s voice was very soft, but it immediately silenced the adults in the room.

This was Lu Benlai’s first time being addressed as ‘Papa’, and it wasn’t even his own daughter. He was stunned for a moment as he stared at Leng Keke, not knowing how to react.

Leng Keke raised her head and stared at Lu Benlai for a moment. Seeing that Lu Benlai didn’t agree to her request, she imitated Lin Shi’s tone and called out once more, “Daddy.”

“Daddy, Daddy…”

Leng Keke’s voice grew louder and louder.

Lu Benlai felt as if something was blocking his throat, causing him to choke uncomfortably. He moved his lips, and it took him a great deal of effort before he managed to force out a sentence, “Keke, I’m Not Your Daddy…”

Leng Coco only had someone to call her ‘father’when she met Lin Jiage, and in the entire room, other than Lin Jiage, Lu Benlai was the only man left. Thus, she wanted to call him ‘father’as well..

Ever since she was young, no one had ever told her what ‘father’meant, so she didn’t really understand what ‘I’m not your father’meant. However, she could vaguely tell that Lu Benlai had rejected her, her eyes immediately reddened, but she was still calling out in a tender voice, “Daddy, Daddy…”

Sitting beside her, Shi Yao’s eyes immediately reddened when she saw the sight of Coco.

That’s right. She was still young, so there were many things that she didn’t understand. However, just because she didn’t understand it didn’t mean that she didn’t need it. Perhaps, she didn’t understand what a father was in the past, so she didn’t need it. However, after seeing the interaction between Lin Shi and Lin Jiage.., she also wanted a father..

It was just that… she had promised Leng Nuan that she wouldn’t tell Lu Benlai that she had met her, so she couldn’t tell Lu Benlai that Coco was his daughter… After all, relationships weren’t something that could be forced, nuan Nuan didn’t want to return to the past, so she couldn’t just turn around and betray her..

But in the end, she still couldn’t bear to do so. Thus, just as Lu Benlai was about to reject Coco, Shi Yao couldn’t help but say, “Coco doesn’t have a father. If she calls you ‘father’, just answer her…”

Hearing Shi Yao’s words, Lu Benlai, who had wanted to reason with Leng Coco and say that he couldn’t call other men ‘Daddy’casually, swallowed back the words that he had nearly said.

In truth, he really couldn’t bring himself to reject this little girl. However, he wasn’t her father to begin with, so he couldn’t just agree to it. With Shi Yao’s words.., as he walked down the stairs, he greeted Coco with an ‘ai’.

Coco immediately burst into laughter.

She recalled the time when Lin Shi didn’t feel like drinking milk, and when Lin Jiage had fed it to Lin Shi, so she passed the bottle in her hand to Lu Benlai.

Lu Benlai didn’t quite understand what Coco meant, but it wasn’t until Coco said in a childish voice, “Daddy Feed, Daddy Feed…”that he hurriedly took the bottle and fed Coco.

This was his first time feeding a child milk. He was a little nervous and his movements were very stiff, but Coco seemed to be very happy.

However, after drinking two mouthfuls of Coco, she turned her head away and stretched out her arms at Lu Benlai.

This did not need coco to remind him. Lu Benlai also knew that she wanted him to hold her. He stretched out his hand and easily carried coco into his arms.

Coco smiled sweetly at Lu Benlai, then opened her mouth and bit the pacifier again.
