Her parents taught her not to kneel to others casually, so she didn't kneel to Chu Luxi and Jiang Manli before, but she had to kneel to the "grandpa" in front of her, even if Mommy stopped her.

"Sauerkraut!" Seeing her daughter like this, Ling Moxue hurried over to help her, "What are you doing?"

The island owner also stared blankly at the little sauerkraut, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was inexplicably scratched by an invisible hand.

Pain, indescribable pain.

Little Pickle pursed her mouth, tearfully pushed her mother away, knelt on the ground and remained motionless.

The wind blew away her hair and the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Such a petite ball, soft and pitiful.

"Sauerkraut, get up, Mommy can't let you do this, get up!"

Ling Moxue hugged her distressedly, her eyes were red, and a burst of crying kept hitting her throat, "He is Mommy's godfather now, Mommy just begs him."

The island owner understood that this little guy was begging him to help find her daddy right away.

Right now, the goddaughter was holding her, and she turned her head to look at him with tears in her eyes. That pitiful pleading look made his cold heart gradually soften.

"Okay, I promise you." He finally decided to send troops a day earlier.

...

The dinner party was cancelled, the butler just asked someone to set up a large table of dishes, and asked Ling Moxue to bring a pair of children to accompany the island owner for dinner.

During the period, the housekeeper asked Ling Moxue to toast the island owner with three glasses of wine, and called "godfather" three times, and the ceremony of recognition was officially completed.

Although the island owner showed a little smile from time to time, his expression was always serious.

After dinner, before it was dark, the island owner changed into his uniform, with a pistol on his waist, and prepared to lead his troops to set off.

Walking to the former dean's corridor, he turned his head and glanced at Ling Moxue...

Ling Moxue put her arms around her son in one arm and her daughter in the other, she met his gaze, and suddenly found a rare warmth in his eyes.

Her heart trembled, and she felt that the distance between herself and him was getting closer in an instant.

"Godfather." She called softly, with sincerity and kindness, which made the island owner slightly moved.

He smiled, "Girl, take the child to sleep and wait for the good news tomorrow."

Ling Moxue had a sore nose, "Godfather, can you take me there?"

"No." The island owner's face became serious again. He pulled off the belt around his waist, and his tall and straight figure was straight and mighty. "You take care of the child at home."

After finishing speaking, he took the hat handed over by the housekeeper and strode forward...

"Grandpa!" Ling Qiyang chased after him, stood in front of him and bowed deeply, "Grandpa, you must pay attention to safety."

The island owner raised his lips and reached out to touch his head. His sharp eyes revealed a sense of determination and confidence.

Ling Moxue came up holding her daughter's hand, Ling Qiyue stepped forward and pulled the island owner's hand, stuffed a candy into his hand, then raised her head and smiled sweetly at him...

The island owner's heart warmed, his cold and handsome face softened slightly, he turned his head, looked at Ling Moxue suddenly and said, "You should have been my Albert's biological daughter in your previous life."

Ling Moxue was slightly taken aback, her biological daughter?

A strange feeling flashed through her heart like lightning, and when she regained her senses, the island owner had already walked out of the Duke's mansion...

This night was destined to be unable to fall asleep, Ling Moxue waited for the two children to fall asleep, then got up again, quietly opened the door and walked out of the guest room.

Standing on the porch of the former dean, she was worried, her eyes were fixed on the vermilion door...

"Miss, why didn't you sleep?" The butler suddenly came to her side.

Ling Moxue turned around and smiled at him, "I can't sleep."

"Worried about the island owner?"

"That's right, besides worrying about my husband and my brother, there's...it's him."

The butler looked at her face seriously with the help of the street light.

She is so pretty, with a face as pink and tender as petals, a pair of twinkling beautiful eyes, a straight nose, and a mouth as small as a cherry...

Such a beautiful woman is favored by the island owner alone, and for her, he personally went to other islands to inquire about her. It can be seen that her charm is not small, and the island owner did not force her to become his own woman, but recognized her as his daughter, which is really rare.

"Miss, let me take the liberty to ask, is there any relative among your relatives who has traveled overseas and has not returned yet?" The butler picked up the topic.

Ling Moxue shook her head, "No."

The housekeeper was slightly disappointed, but he didn't give up. "Have your parents mentioned to you that there are such relatives among them?"

Ling Moxue was taken aback for a moment, recalling the moment of intimacy when she sent the island owner out, her eyes flashed, and she hurriedly asked, "May I ask the housekeeper, is the Sir an oriental?"

"Yes, miss, my lord came to Country H 20 years ago. I have suffered a lot along the way, and I have forgotten some of the past. I still don't know which country I am from, and whether I have any relatives in my family."

Ling Moxue was startled, her eyes were fixed, but her heart was full of thoughts. The words of her biological mother slowly echoed in her ears——

"Your biological father was named Chu Lei, and he died."

But the mother later told her: "I heard that he died at sea to search for treasure, but the body was not found. The Chu family also spent a lot of money and energy to find it, but there was no news of it. Later, someone caught a piece of his belongings at sea. Only a box... Chu's father and Chu's mother were in pain when they saw it, and they passed away one after another because of longing."

Ling Moxue has never seen a photo of her biological father, because the fact that she is Chu Lei's daughter has not been disclosed to the outside world.

"Mum, you are a bit like Sir Alex." This is what the son once said.

Ling Moxue's heart beat slowly faster, and the expression on her face also became excited, a thought suddenly jumped out of her heart——

Could the island owner be his biological father?

Actually he is not dead?

not dead!

"Housekeeper, may I ask if the island owner has anything from his youth?" Ling Moxue hurriedly asked.

The butler shook his head, "I only followed him eighteen years ago. I have never seen him have any previous things in all these years, but he has always liked collecting antiques and dealing with oriental people, as if he wanted to find something from these things. own lost memories."

The butler then told Ling Moxue many stories about the island owner. From his mouth, Ling Moxue knew that although the island owner was indifferent and eccentric, he was very brave and good at fighting. Never dared to provoke him face to face.

"Then will it be dangerous for him to go to sea this time?" Ling Moxue was still worried.

The butler sighed softly, his old brows were slightly worried, "My lord hasn't been out for so many years, I'm also very worried."

It was late at night, and Ling Moxue had to go back to her room. Not long after she lay down on the bed, she vaguely heard a few gunshots outside, and then there were messy footsteps in the yard. wxya

She was startled, her heart tightened, she quickly got up again, put on her clothes and opened the door...

Just in time, the housekeeper ran past the door, Ling Moxue stepped forward and grabbed him, "What happened?"

"A foreign ship is coming, and the people who got off are rushing this way. They have guns in their hands. I don't know where they are pirates. Miss, you should hide in the house." The housekeeper said out of breath.

"No! Butler, I'm the lady of the house now, I'll take care of anything." Ling Moxue's pretty face tensed, she pulled off her collar, and ran towards the gate first.

"Miss, miss!" The housekeeper hurriedly chased after her.

boom! Just as Ling Moxue ran to the door, she suddenly heard a bullet hit the iron ring of the door, the sound was clear and frightening.
