Yu Jiaojiao strutted towards the door, as if she were going to leave, when suddenly, she fished out a few photographs and waved them at Gu Tingwei.
“My good son, have a good look at what these are!!”
The moment Gu Tingwei saw these photographs, his tiny face underwent a complete change.
Back in his gullible days, his mother had coaxed him into wearing girls’ clothing. These photographs were taken then.
Apart from wearing a pretty little dress, he was even wearing a wig and make-up. He was as beautiful as a bashful little princess.
Gu Tingwei: “…”
Yu Jiaojiao bared her teeth. “If you don’t go, I’ll upload these photographs of you wearing a dress onto the internet.”
Gu Tingwei: “…”
Yu Jiaojiao was pleased with herself. “What do you think will happen if your cousins see—”
After a long time, Yu Jiaojiao Gu Tingwei finally replied through clenched teeth, “I’ll go!”

Tangtang and Mo Heng stayed at home for a few days. After declining Mo Qishan’s and Fang Lanxin’s numerous invites and visitation requests, they finally left the house on a bright, sunny day.
In order not to attract any attention, Mo Heng booked a car on the DiDi app [1] instead of using the company’s SUV.
The two of them were clad in hats, sunglasses, and masks. They were completely covered up.
There wasn’t a booster seat in the car, so Mo Heng carried Tangtang in his arms.
The last time Tangtang had been in a car, she had been too exhausted to examine the four-wheeled black box carefully.
This time, however, she was wide awake and energetic. With wide eyes, she sucked her thumb as she glanced around, her head tilted to the side in curiosity.
Not long after, she became restless and struggled out of Mo Heng’s arms. She clung onto the car window with both hands and fixedly stared out of the window.
“Wah…” the little child exclaimed in surprise.
It was a foreign city. People streamed by like flowing water amidst the sea of vehicles, and there were even towering skyscrapers and crisscrossed expressways elevated over the ground.
To a little mermaid, everything was exceptionally new and interesting. Her pupils were like black grapes as she took in the scenery. Her little mind was blown away by the beauty of the landscape.
Mo Heng stroked Tangtang’s head. “Does Tangtang like this place?”
The little kid nodded her head, her little cheeks bouncing up and down. “Lub it.”
Her baby gibberish practically melted Mo Heng’s heart with its cuteness.
These past few days together had given Mo Heng an appreciation of just how shockingly quick this little mermaid was at learning things.
Only, all this child did was imitate him.
Yesterday, in a bout of carelessness, he had accidentally allowed Tangtang to barge into the bathroom. She had caught him peeing in a standing position.
Now, whenever the little thing needed to pee, she would remove her shorts and replicate his stance exactly…
This morning, when he had gone back to the bathroom after heating up some milk, he saw Mo Tangtang standing in front of the sink. She had moved a little stool over and was reaching out for his shaver…
Mo Heng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
In any case, there were still a few days before the filming for the variety show began. Mo Heng had gotten Chen Qiong to contact a highly qualified early education specialist in order to plan an expedited training session.
This specialist owned her own training organization. She normally tutored the children one-on-one, but Chen Qiong had done all she could to get her to squeeze Mo Tangtang in.
As soon as Mo Heng entered the door with Tangtang in his arms, the receptionist, who was a young woman, brought them to an indoor play area.
“Ms. Zhou will be here soon. I must trouble Mr. Mo to wait for a moment.”
Mo Heng nodded his head and set Tangtang down. “Tangtang, go and have fun on your own for a while. Big Brother is going to make a phone call.”
The indoor play area was filled with toys, action figures, toy cars, slides, et cetera—all the toys children love. Tangtang’s little lips parted slightly when she saw all these toys, and for a moment, she faced a challenging dilemma as she struggled to decide what to play with first.
The little child’s endearingly silly appearance was way too adorable. Struck by her cuteness, the female receptionist blushed red.
Especially because!!!
This was Mo Heng’s illegitimate daughter!!
