Lu Benlai was currently speaking to Lin Jiage, and Shi Yao, who was seated beside Lin Jiage, would occasionally interject.
Leng Keke's' Daddy 'was very soft, but the adults in the room instantly fell silent.
This was the first time someone had called Lu Benlai 'Daddy', and it wasn't his daughter at that. He was stunned as he stared at Leng Keke, not knowing how he should react.
Leng Keke raised her head and stared at Lu Benlai for a moment. Seeing that the latter wasn't responding to her, she imitated Lin Shi's tone and called out, "Daddy."
"Daddy, Daddy …"
Leng Keke's voice grew louder and louder.
Lu Benlai felt as if something was stuck in his throat, causing him to choke on his words. His lips moved, and it took him a great deal of effort before he managed to force out a few words, "Keke, I'm not your father …"
Leng Keke only wanted someone to call Lin Shi 'Daddy', and other than Lin Jiage, Lu Benlai was the only other person in the room, so she wanted to call him 'Daddy' too …
Ever since she was young, no one had ever told her what a father was, so she didn't really understand what the words' I'm not your father 'meant. However, she could vaguely tell that Lu Benlai was rejecting her. Her eyes reddened, but she still called out in a tender voice, "Daddy, daddy …"
Looking at Keke in such a state, Shi Yao's eyes reddened in an instant.
Indeed, she was still young, and there were many things she didn't understand. But just because she didn't understand didn't mean that she didn't need it. Perhaps she didn't know what a daddy was in the past, so she didn't have any need for one. However, after seeing the interaction between Lin Shi and Lin Jiage, she also wanted a daddy …
It was just that … she had promised Leng Nuan that she wouldn't tell Lu Benlai about their meeting, so there was no way she could tell Lu Benlai that Keke was his daughter … After all, feelings couldn't be forced. Even if Nuan Nuan didn't want to return to the past, she couldn't just turn around and sell her away …
But in the end, Shi Yao still couldn't bring herself to do it. So, just as Lu Benlai was about to reject Keke, she spoke up, "Keke doesn't have a daddy, so you should just respond to her when she calls you daddy …"
Hearing Shi Yao's words, Lu Benlai, who was just about to reason with Leng Keke that she shouldn't call another man 'daddy' so casually, swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
In truth, he really couldn't bring himself to turn down this little girl, but he wasn't her father in the first place, so he couldn't just agree to her request. Hearing Shi Yao's words, he couldn't help but mutter an "Ai" toward Keke's voice, which was still calling her father.
Coco immediately smiled.
Recalling how Lin Jiage had fed Lin Shi milk when he didn't want to drink it, she passed the milk bottle in her hand over to Lu Benlai.
Lu Benlai didn't really understand what Keke was trying to say. It was only when Keke said in a cute voice, "Daddy, daddy, daddy …" that he hurriedly took the milk bottle and fed it to her.
This was his first time feeding a child milk. He was a little nervous and his movements were stiff, but Coco seemed to be very happy.
However, Coco only drank two mouthfuls before turning her head away and stretching her arms toward Lu Benlai.
Even without Keke's reminder, Lu Benlai already knew that she wanted him to carry her. He reached out and easily pulled Keke into his embrace.
