Bai Yiyi's gaze flickered.
A month ago, when Gu Kai found out about Tongtong's origins and requested that Tongtong take his surname, Bai Yiyi wanted to tell her mother.
But as she hesitated over when to speak up, Gu Kai was called away on a business trip.
That delay turned into a month.
She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Tongtong's father is Gu Kai."
"Gu Kai, the one from Kangning Hospital?" Bai Yuqin looked at Bai Yiyi with a face full of shock, clearly finding it hard to believe this explosive news.
"Yes, it's him."
Bai Yiyi lowered her eyes and nodded gently.
"How could it be him, Yiyi? How did you meet Gu Kai and even have Tongtong with him?"
"Mom, listen to me, I didn't know him before..."
Bai Yiyi briefly recounted the events, and after hearing her story, Bai Yuqin let out a long sigh, "What goes around comes around, it's retribution. Your father committed sins years ago, and now you're paying for them."
"Mom, what retribution? It was just an accident."
