After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly."

Lin Lin interrupted them first. This time, he was determined to finish what he had to say, otherwise, the two of them wouldn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"Mu Chen and I asked Xiao Ranran before, and he told us accurately that you are all his fathers, and that he has three fathers."

"What?!"

Not only were Lu Lingzhou and Mu Rui shocked, but Lu Tingchen, who had just entered the room, was also taken aback.

What? You're all dads? There are three dads? You know all the words, but you don't recognize them when they're put together?

"I know you're shocked, and I'm shocked too, but don't be shocked yet, listen to me." Lin Lin quickly reassured them, not wanting them to interrupt her.

"Do you know Ranran's true identity?" This question was asked to Mu Rui.

Faced with Lin Lin's questioning gaze, Murui asked疑惑地问道：“Ranran's identity?”

Isn't it just his identity as Lu Lingzhou's son?

It seems they don't know.

"Let's go upstairs and talk. It's not safe in the living room."

Lin Lin had Mu Chen carry Ranran upstairs, while he called Mu Rui and Lu Lingzhou upstairs.

Lu Tingchen followed him up.

He knew Ranran's identity, but he was interested in what those fathers had said, and even had some doubts.

Upon entering the study, Lin Lin closed the door and locked it from the inside.

He then stood in the center of the study, looking at Murui, and said, "Now I will tell you Ranran's true identity."

Since Murui is Ranran's father, we must know about his affairs; otherwise, it will be troublesome if problems arise later.

The atmosphere became inexplicably serious, causing Murui to sit up straight. "Go on," she said.

Lin Lin: "Do you know about mermaids?"

"Mermaids?" Murui exclaimed, then nodded slightly. "I've never seen them, but I've heard of them. What does this have to do with Ranran?"

"Yes, Ranran is the little prince of the mermaid clan."

Lin Lin's words successfully made Murui's eyes widen, and he was shocked.

"The Mermaid Prince? Ranran?"

"Yes."

Having received confirmation, Murui looked at Lu Lingzhou and asked, "Really?"

Lu Lingzhou, holding Xiao Ranran in his arms, glanced at him and said, "What's wrong? Can't accept it?"

"If you can't accept it, leave as soon as possible." Don't try to take the child from him.

Little Ranran leaned against him, holding the water bottle in both hands and drinking water, gulping it down. Her bright black eyes blinked lightly, and her little face was fair and cute.

"Who says I can't accept it?" The Little Prince is the Little Prince.

His son is a mermaid prince, and as his father, he's very proud.

However, if Ranran is a mermaid, then having two fathers isn't so unacceptable, given their special bloodline.

"Go on."

Seeing that Mu Rui had calmed down, Lin Lin spoke again: "Among the merfolk, there is a mysterious wizard. The wizard can divine, know things he doesn't know, and can even predict the future."

He gave Xiao Ranran a crystal and told her that when the crystal lit up, it meant her father was by her side.

Lu Lingzhou noticed the crystal necklace around Xiao Ranran's neck a long time ago, but he didn't know what it was or what its purpose was. When he asked Mu Chen, Mu Chen also said he didn't know, so he didn't bother with it.

I never expected it to have this effect.

So, the reason he started clinging to him and calling him "Dad" was because the crystal sparkled?

Thinking about it like that makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

But then he thought, without the crystal, Xiao Guai wouldn't have appeared in front of him.

Lu Lingzhou couldn't help but hug Xiao Ranran tightly in his arms and gently stroke his little face.

Xiao Ranran, who was drinking water, looked up at him and blinked in confusion.

"Sweetie, drink it."

Xiao Ranran smiled, nuzzled against Lu Lingzhou's chest, and continued drinking water.

Looking at his appearance, Murui felt a bitter pang in her heart. At the same time, she was also thinking that Ranran had let him carry her that night without crying or making a fuss, because the crystal had lit up.

While they were wondering, Lin Lin continued, "After his father, the Grand Prince of the Mermaid Clan, mysteriously disappeared, his soul split into five. In other words, Ranran has five fathers, and you are only two of them."

Lu Lingzhou: "Heh, how strange."

Murray: "Tsk, that's mysterious."

Five fathers, and they are just two of them.

In a word, absolutely brilliant.

"I know you may not believe it, but it's true. Over the years, the wizard's divination has never been wrong."

Lin Lin sat in the chair, and after speaking, took a sip of tea.

He's exhausted, but he's finally finished talking.

It's probably too late for a fight now.

The study was quiet for a while.

Lin Lin and Mu Chen looked at this one and then at that one, finally looked at each other, and shrugged.

There's no other way.

Lu Tingchen leaned against one side, seemingly lost in thought.

"Now that Xiao Guai has come to my side, I am his father. The rest of you, get out of here," Lu Lingzhou said arrogantly, indicating that he would not back down.

Murui turned to look at Lu Lingzhou and said bluntly, "Now, I am also Ranran's father, and I have the right to support him."

Lu Lingzhou sneered, "You? In what way can you compare to me? Besides, as an actor, you don't even dare to speak your mind, yet you have the nerve to raise a child? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by those trolls?"

"I can't bear to see my little darling suffer like that with you."

It has to be said that Lu Lingzhou hit Mu Rui's weak spot right away.

His status as a public figure will indeed cause trouble for Ranran.

Those people don't care about all that. What if one day they hurt Xiao Ranran?

Little Ranran is so well-behaved and obedient. She can't even speak properly yet, and she's only just learned to walk. She doesn't even know how to cry when someone bullies her.

No, he can't let that happen.

Murui: "Well, I can at least take care of Ranran a few days a month, right? Besides, there are three other dads involved, and you're sure you can handle them all by yourself?"

Lu Lingzhou was speechless, and really didn't know how to refute it.

If those fathers were all human, that would be fine, but if they were of other races, he really didn't have a foolproof way.

"I think we can work together, at least in the end we can guarantee that we'll have more time to take care of the child."

"I'm an actress, so I'll definitely be going to film sets to shoot movies, and Ranran will definitely be with you then..."

Lu Lingzhou's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what he meant. Before he could speak, Lu Tingchen leaned closer again, "Brother, I think this plan is feasible."

"The other three fathers are unknown, so we might as well focus on the one in front of us. His time is definitely in our best interest."

After Lu Tingchen's analysis, Lu Lingzhou understood the reasoning and nodded, "Okay."

"Given your status, Xiao Guai will continue to stay with me. You can come and keep him company when you have time, or rest here."

"You can trust Lu Yuan's security. Anyone who dares to leak a single word will be dragged to the back mountain and fed to the wolves!"

Murui stood up and extended his right hand. "In that case, Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

Lu Lingzhou stood up, extended his hand, and said, "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

On the surface, everything seemed calm, and it appeared that a cooperation had been reached.

But in reality, their hands were secretly locked in a struggle.
