During the spring festival, every household was immersed in celebratory joy, visiting relatives and gathering together!

As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Lin Feng also took his family back to the Lin Family ancestral home on the second day of the New Year.

The Lin Family was considered a mid-sized clan in Yanjing, and Lin Feng, as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was the most outstanding individual among the younger generation of the Lin Family. If he could successfully enter the Central Committee in two years, it would mark a historic breakthrough for the Lin Family.

Upon returning to the ancestral home, Old Master Lin met with Lin Feng alone.

"Feng'er, you performed very well this year!" Old Master Lin said from his wicker chair, looking at him with a gaze of satisfaction, "The Biotech Park project you led is simply a stroke of genius. As long as this project is spectacularly successful, it will definitely add a heavy stroke to your campaign for the Central Committee.

You must be careful; your competitors will not allow this project to go smoothly."

Lin Feng nodded, "Don't worry, I am aware of the situation."

Old Master Lin spoke with relief, "I have always been confident in your work! By the way, to recognize your contribution this time, what kind of support do you need from the family?"

The Lin Family annually rewarded the outstanding young members of the family, whether it was political support or financial aid, as one way to motivate the younger generation.

In Lin Feng's position, seeking further political support was not an easy task for the Lin Family. Considering Lin Feng's already high status, the required support would, undoubtedly, come at a great cost.

Lin Feng remained silent for a moment and then said, "Dad, I would like to ask the Imperial Physician to treat Song'er's leg."

Old Master Lin frowned, "Feng'er, are you really willing to use this rare opportunity for that misbegotten child, Lin Song?"

Lin Feng sighed, his gaze complex, "Dad, although Lin Song is not my biological son, he has called me 'Dad' for over twenty years. In my heart, I've long considered him my own son! How can I bear to let him live disabled for the rest of his life?"

Old Master Lin, rising angrily and hitting the table, exclaimed, "Womanly compassion, that's womanly compassion! Do you realize that getting the Imperial Physician involved comes at a cost not inferior to advancing your political career? Do you understand that?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination, "Dad, I understand all that, but still, I hope Song'er can stand up!"

Old Master Lin looked at Lin Feng somewhat disappointedly, his tone cold, "Very well, since you insist so strongly, I agree to your request! But... if anything goes wrong with your Biotech Park project, the Lin Family will not have the capacity to help you!"

Having a national Imperial Physician intervene was a cost even the Lin Family found difficult to bear. Thus, agreeing to Lin Feng's request would necessarily mean less political support.

Lin Feng bowed deeply, "Thank you, Dad!"

When Lin Feng left the study, he found his wife Feng Xin standing at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Feng asked curiously, "You seldom come this way to the study. It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Feng Xin grabbed Lin Feng, her expression complex, "Lin Feng, come with me, I have something to ask you!"

Pulling Lin Feng to the bedroom, the two arrived, and Feng Xin locked the door, facing Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned, "What do you want to say? Why are you being so secretive?"

A troubled expression appeared on Feng Xin's face, her lips quivered as she asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "How...how did you know that Song'er isn't your child?"

Lin Feng's expression changed, "Were you eavesdropping on my conversation with my father?"

"I'm asking you, how did you know?" Feng Xin clenched her fists, as if she hadn't heard Lin Feng's question just now.

Lin Feng knew that Feng Xin had already found out about it, and that there was no hiding it anymore.

"Of course, I knew Song'er wasn't my child the moment you got pregnant, I knew he wasn't mine!" Lin Feng's expression was pained.

"Impossible, you couldn't possibly have known!" Feng Xin was somewhat dispirited.

Lin Feng said calmly, "You might not know, but I suffer from congenital sperm developmental defects, my sperm vitality is insufficient, making it impossible for me to have offspring, Feng Xin, do you understand now?"

Feng Xin's body trembled, and her lips quivered. No wonder after giving birth to Lin Feng, Old Grandpa Lin had always been cold and distant toward her, with a hint of estrangement in his words. She had held some grievances in her heart, but she didn't expect...

In fact, Feng Xin had suspicions about Lin Song's birth. That night, the night she broke up with Guo Xiaodong after one wild encounter, she got pregnant with Lin Song, but by then, she was already Lin Feng's wife, and she couldn't be sure of whose child it really was.

Plus, she had a guilty conscience and never dared to confirm it! Luckily, Lin Song looked a lot like her, which gradually eased her doubts. But she had never imagined things would turn out this way.

Lin Feng sighed and said, "Back then, when the Feng Family was in trouble, Old Master Feng wanted to form an alliance with the Lin Family, so he broke up your relationship with your first love and forcefully made you marry me. I understand, although I am a son of the Lin Family, you never loved me, so you went to find your first love on the night I was traveling, right?"

Feng Xin's face turned pale, she looked at Lin Feng incredulously, "How...how did you know?"

"My flight was canceled that day, and I returned home and sat in the living room all night!" Lin Feng looked at Feng Xin, his voice devoid of any emotion, "I am infertile, and you were forced to marry me. Regarding your actions back then, I was very angry at the time, but afterwards, I understood that I was the one to blame, so I never brought it up."

"And as for Song'er, I truly didn't like him initially, but when he first called out 'daddy,' I realized how badly I wanted a child, how I longed for a real family, so I gradually accepted him and loved him as if he were my own son," Lin Feng spoke in a low voice.

Feng Xin felt as if all the strength had drained from her body; she slumped onto the bed, her eyes lifeless.

"Now that it's come to this, let me just tell you everything!" Lin Feng looked at Feng Xin and said, "Your first love from back then was Guo Xiaodong, right? The same old classmate you recommended to me not long ago, right?"

Feng Xin felt her brain spin, her heart beating violently, she croaked, "If you knew everything, why did you keep your silence? Why did you agree to my suggestion and give him a chance?"

Lin Feng looked at Feng Xin, a trace of sorrow flitted through his eyes, "Why? Do you ask why? Because I love you!"
