Only Mei Wanying and those closest to her knew who Ling's father truly was.
Too many men were willing to be Ling's father, making it impossible for outsiders to guess the truth.
At first, everyone truly believed Mei Wanying was a widow, pregnant with a posthumous child.
For a woman of her immense wealth and standing, taking on a live-in husband to produce an heir was perfectly normal.
Later, when they saw how devoted Gu Xun was to her, having cared for Mei Wanying throughout her pregnancy, people began to assume the two shared a secret relationship.
Perhaps the child was Gu Xun's.
But after the wedding-crashing incident, more people began to suspect Pei Yan.
And to think he actually admitted it!
Pei Yan looked proud. Ling was his biological daughter, the precious treasure born to him by Mei Wanying. It was something that should be proclaimed to the world.
Anyone who dared to bully Ah Yin and Ling would be making an enemy of him.
