Chapter 3: Happily Becoming Second Uncle
Others happily became fathers, but he happily became a Second Uncle!
No wonder the moment he first saw the little girl, she looked so familiar. Now he finally realized—she looked exactly like his older brother, as if they were carved from the same mold.
“Little girl, what’s your name?”
The little girl looked at Ou Zilong with her big, round eyes and sweetly said: “Second Uncle, my name is Zhao Jiaying! Mommy and Auntie next door call me Yingbao!”
Her words instantly woke him up—her Mommy must know who her biological Daddy was!
Ou Zichen adjusted his emotions, softened his tone, and asked Zhao Jiaying: “Yingbao, can you tell me what your Mommy’s name is?”
“My Mommy’s name is Zhao Yunxi!”
Zhao Yunxi? Ou Zichen quickly searched his memory, but in the end, he was sure he didn’t know anyone by that name.
“Is she your biological Mommy?”
“Daddy, are you silly? I call her Mommy, so of course she’s my biological Mommy! Just like I call you Daddy, so you’re my biological Daddy too!”
Hearing this, the corners of Ou Zichen’s mouth twitched. What kind of logic was that? Just calling someone a name made them related by blood?
Ou Zilong couldn’t help but feel amused as he watched the two of them, especially his older brother. The great President of Ou Corporation, a man known for being decisive and ruthless in the business world, was now completely speechless after being countered by a little girl.
Su Jianfeng also struggled to hold back his laughter. Their president, who had always made others suffer losses, had now suffered a loss at the hands of a tiny girl. He wondered how that felt.
Ou Zichen tried hard to control his temper, forcing a smile as he said to Zhao Jiaying: “Yingbao, can you tell Daddy—uh, I mean, Uncle—your Mommy’s phone number?”
He had almost blurted out “Daddy”!
As soon as he called her Mommy, he could finally clear things up and get rid of this clingy little girl! Right now, in his eyes, Yingbao was like an unshakable piece of sticky candy—no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t get rid of her.
Zhao Jiaying shook her head, her long, delicate hair swaying with the movement.
“Mommy is not in the country right now. You won’t be able to find her!”
Was he joking? She had come to find him behind Mommy’s back—there was no way she would let him contact her now! Until Yingbao achieved her goal, she would never give him the chance to reach Mommy.
If he couldn’t reach her Mommy and couldn’t ask the questions he wanted to, what should he do? He couldn’t possibly just accept being this cheap Daddy, could he?
“Big brother, is Yingbao really your daughter?”
Although Ou Zilong was already seventy to eighty percent sure, he still wanted to hear a definite answer from his brother’s own mouth.
“No!” Ou Zichen replied.
“Yes!” Zhao Jiaying answered.
A father-daughter speed quiz battle!
Zhao Jiaying then looked at Ou Zilong, pouting slightly, her voice carrying a hint of grievance. “Second Uncle, he really is Yingbao’s biological Daddy. You have to believe Yingbao. Yingbao is not lying…”
Her pitiful expression made Ou Zilong’s heart ache for her. He reached out and gently patted her head.
“Yingbao, Second Uncle believes you are not lying!”
With those words, he had essentially acknowledged that Zhao Jiaying was Ou Zichen’s biological daughter.
Hearing this, Zhao Jiaying’s eyes immediately lit up with joy. Finally, someone believed her! Two deep dimples appeared on her face as she smiled—it was simply too adorable.
Yingbao’s sweet smile completely melted Ou Zilong’s heart. Did she have to be this cute?
“Zilong, how could you… You know very well that I don’t…”—don’t even have a girlfriend, so where did such a big daughter come from?
Ou Zilong could naturally see his brother’s confusion, but he still trusted Zhao Jiaying’s words. However, relying solely on her words wouldn’t convince everyone. The only way to resolve this mystery was through science!
“Brother, I know you’re feeling confused and struggling to accept this sudden daughter. How about this—you and Yingbao take a paternity test? That way, we’ll know for sure whether she is really your biological daughter or not!”
That was indeed a good idea. A paternity test couldn’t possibly be wrong. Once the results came out, they would see if she still dared to claim that he was her Daddy!
“Yingbao, do you dare to take this paternity test with me? If the results prove that you are my biological daughter, I will naturally acknowledge you. But if not, you can’t call me Daddy ever again. How about that?”
In Ou Zichen’s heart, he was already certain that Zhao Jiaying couldn’t possibly be his biological daughter. Even though she looked incredibly similar to him, the world was vast and full of strange coincidences—two people looking identical wasn’t impossible.
A test? Bring it on! She wasn’t afraid at all. After all, the results would definitely match what she had said. She couldn’t wait to see what he would say then. So, Yingbao agreed without hesitation!
“Okay! But you better not go back on your word. Whoever backs out is a little puppy…” Zhao Jiaying said in her childish, milky voice.
“I won’t go back on my word!”
“Don’t worry, Yingbao. With Second Uncle and Uncle Su as witnesses, he won’t be able to back out!”
Hearing this, Zhao Jiaying immediately gave them a bright, sweet smile and said: “Thank you, Second Uncle! Thank you, Uncle Su!”
Even though that smile wasn’t meant for him, Ou Zichen still felt like it was a powerful medicine that could heal anything. Somehow, he suddenly didn’t mind her calling him Daddy as much as before. In fact, it didn’t feel so bad. But everything still had to wait until the results were out!
Su Jianfeng personally collected hair samples from both Ou Zichen and Zhao Jiaying and delivered them to the Yuncheng Hospital’s paternity testing center. Even with their strong connections, the fastest they could get the results would be tomorrow morning.
By now, it was mealtime. Worried that Zhao Jiaying might be hungry, Ou Zilong asked with concern: “Yingbao, are you hungry? Second Uncle will take you out to eat, okay?”
Zhao Jiaying touched her belly. She had only eaten a small soup bun in the morning before rushing out. Now that Second Uncle mentioned food, she suddenly realized she was really hungry. So, she happily nodded.
Ou Zilong took her hand and was about to leave, but Yingbao tugged at him and asked: “Second Uncle, isn’t Daddy coming to eat with us?”
Only then did he remember his older brother. He turned around and asked: “Brother, do you want to come eat with us?”
Ou Zichen, sitting at his desk, lowered his head as he focused on the documents in his hands. His deep voice replied: “I still have work to do. You two go ahead.”
Work was just an excuse. The real reason was that Ou Zichen didn’t want to be seen in the company restaurant with Zhao Jiaying. The restaurant was a gathering place for employees, and gossip was inevitable. Until the paternity test results were out, he needed to keep his distance from her.
Zhao Jiaying, however, had no idea what he was thinking. In her eyes, she simply felt that Daddy was working too hard—so busy that he didn’t even have time to eat. But how could he not eat? A hungry stomach wouldn’t help him focus on work. So, she made up her mind.
“Then we’ll pack food for Daddy and bring it back!”
Ou Corporation had two employee restaurants—one for regular employees and another for the company’s top executives. However, whether it was the regular or the executive restaurant, both offered a wide variety of dishes.
The only difference was that in the regular restaurant, employees had to serve themselves, while in the executive restaurant, waiters provided service.
As the second young master of the Ou family, Ou Zilong naturally dined in the executive restaurant. But to get there, he had to pass through the regular employee restaurant.
The moment he walked through the regular restaurant holding Zhao Jiaying’s hand, they instantly became the center of attention.
Zhao Jiaying bore a striking resemblance to Ou Zichen—about ninety percent alike. Since Ou Zichen and Ou Zilong also looked somewhat similar, with a resemblance of about sixty to seventy percent, that meant Zhao Jiaying and Ou Zilong shared about forty to fifty percent of their features. This resemblance was enough to stir up whispers among the employees.
“That little girl is so adorable! Who do you think she is to Second Young Master?”
“She looks a bit like him. Maybe she’s his daughter from outside!”
Ou Zilong’s reputation for being a playboy was no secret in the company, so the idea that he might have an illegitimate child wasn’t all that surprising to them.
“This little girl, I saw her in the lobby this morning. So, she came to see the Second Young Master!”
“Xiao Wu, you were the one who received her this morning, right? Did she say whether the Second Young Master is her Daddy?”
“Huh? I don’t know! I was only responsible for bringing her up to the 66th floor. As for the rest, I don’t know anything!”
Xiao Wu was puzzled. Didn’t the little girl say her Daddy was President Ou? Why had he suddenly turned into the Second Young Master? So, when everyone asked her earlier, she simply said she didn’t know anything and didn’t mention what had happened in the morning.
After all, it wasn’t confirmed. If she spoke about it, it would turn into a rumor. Spreading rumors recklessly within the corporation could get her fired. Even though she was just a small front desk receptionist, Ou Corporation offered excellent salary and benefits—she definitely didn’t want to lose such a good job.
