Yu Lili felt emptiness in her heart as the disappointment hit her hard. Even though she had already guessed the outcome long ago, it was nevertheless painful to be faced with the truth.

However, Wen Fenglin did not reply Yu Lili right away. Instead, he sent another image over. The name in it was especially eye-catching-Zhen Xianlang.

Yu Lili jerked back in shock when she saw that. Zhen Xianlang? The result with 0.00% was Zhen Xianlang's?

Immediately after, Wen Fenglin sent another photograph.

Wen Fenglin, 99.99%

Yu Lili's mind went blank. In that moment, her hands began to tremble. She raised her clenched fist to the mouth, while tears welled up in her eyes.

Wen Fenglin, 99.99%! To think that the biological relation between her and Wen Fenglin was actually… In other words, her father was this man that she had liked and respected all along!

Ding dong!

Her cell phone chimed again.

Wen Fenglin: [Where are you?]

There was no one at home since Ou Ming had headed to the office. At that moment, Yu Lili's heart was racing. With her hands trembling, she shakily keyed her reply back to Wen Fenglin: [At home.]

Wen Fenglin: [At the new place you share with Ou Ming? Give me the address. Dad is coming to find you.]

Dad is coming to find you… Dad…

That word had been gone from her life for a long, long time. It was also late in returning for a long, long time. Its sudden return had Yu Lili at a loss. She felt disconcerted.

This was clearly a very joyous event. Yet, at that moment, Yu Lili's tears wouldn't stop streaming down her face. Seated on the couch, she stared at that string of words on her cell phone's screen and began to sob.

Her tears came without any warning. She had no idea exactly what she was crying about either. But, it was as if only a good cry would be able to fill the vacuum in her heart. Her uninhibited sobbing sounded particularly ear-piercing as it echoed through the empty villa.

As she cried, she dialed Ou Ming's number. The call to Ou Ming connected very quickly. The noise in the background was very chaotic. He seemed to be busy.

"Hello?" Ou Ming answered. His voice was unique and had a very mesmerizing quality to it.

Hearing this familiar voice opened the floodgates of her tears. She cried out, "Hubby…"

He was in the middle of a meeting. The upper management was reporting the performance of their respective departments for the first quarter. However, when Ou Ming heard the sound of crying over the line, his heart skipped a beat. He stood up in alarm. "What's wrong?"

The executive giving his report stopped speaking mid-sentence.

"I… Woo… Woo… I…" Yu Lili had been reduced to a puddle of tears. She was unable to speak a proper sentence.

With a somber expression, Ou Ming turned and walked out. His steps were quick and urgent as he asked, "Where are you?"

He exited with the phone to his ear, leaving a whole room of executives looking at each other in bewilderment. None of them knew how to proceed.

Ou Ming rushed home quickly. When he opened his front door, he saw Yu Lili sitting on the couch in a daze. Her eyes and nose were red. It was obvious that she had been crying.

He strode up to her and embraced her in his arms. In a comforting voice, he asked, "What is it? What happened?"

"Ou Ming." Yu Lili burrowed her face into his chest. "The results of the paternity test came out."

"How was it?" Immediately after he asked, Ou Ming thought of how hard she'd been crying moments before and drew his own conclusion. In a tone of consolation, he said, "It's OK. We can continue looking. We still have so much time ahead."
