Pei Yan wanted to hold Ling, but Mei Wanying refused to let him, forbidding him from even getting close.
The man looked crestfallen but didn't dare press the issue. He could only watch Ling from a short distance.
This was the child Mei Wanying had borne him. For the first time, Pei Yan felt the profound connection of blood.
He had thought he wouldn't care about the child, but in that very moment, a voice deep inside told him that he would give anything for Ling.
Mei Wanying and Ling were his whole world.
Seeing his daughter's face flush red as she cried, Pei Yan felt both heartbroken and helpless.
It was his first time being a father; he had no idea how to soothe his daughter.
He could only rely on instinct, saying clumsily, "Daddy's here. Don't cry."
Mei Wanying shot him a glare, then said to her daughter, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
To Pei Yan's ears, it sounded like she was refusing to let the child acknowledge him as her father.
Panic set in.
