Chapter 317 - Happy Family

"The floor is now open for questions," the press conference host announced.

Long Hui took a few deep breaths when all of the reporters present raised their hands. Before the press conference started, they looked bored and uninterested. But now they were like slobbering jackals who smelled prime meat.

"Mr. Long, are you married? If so, how come we don't know about it? Was it kept a secret?" a reporter asked.

"No, I'm not married." he answered.

"Then your child is illegitimate?"

Long Hui had to calm himself down first because a strong urge to punch the son of a b*tch in the face almost made him lose control. He was seething in anger but he forced a calm tone when he answered.

"Yes." Then he quickly added, "But that may change in the future if the mother of my child agrees to marry me."

The reporters' eyes lit up. Their hands became even more aggressive, as if raising them higher or waving them around would make them more likely to be chosen to ask the next question.

"So you proposed to the mother of your child before but she rejected you? There's a woman who doesn't want to marry the heir of the Long family? Can you please tell us who the mother of your child is?"

"My son's mother is a beautiful, intelligent and strong woman. I am glad that she is the mother of my child. Things have not worked out between us, but I'm willing to try again. I hope that I can change her mind and that someday she'll accept my offer of marriage. I hope for the day that the three of us can be a happy family together, not only based on relations but also on paper. I want my son and also her, if she'll accept me, to be proud members of my Long family."

The reporters weren't satisfied by his answer because he didn't reveal the identity of his child's mother. However, no matter how many times they tried asking him in different ways, he remained tight-lipped, only repeating his praises about how she was such as good mother to their son.

After their repeated failures of obtaining more information about Long Hui's son and his former lover, the reporters switched targets and asked about Iris Long instead.

"Mr. Long, seeing that you chose your sister to be your son's godmother, does this mean that you're close to her? There are rumours from long ago saying that Iris Long is estranged from the Long family. Is this still the case right now?"

Long Hui hesitated, choosing his words carefully before answering. "Yes, you can say that my youngest sister and I have gotten closer recently. Actually, she sees my son and my son's mother on a regular basis. They are very close to each other. That's why my son also calls my sister Mama. It only makes sense that she became my son's godmother. She loves my son like her own and for that, I'm very thankful to her. Also, I know that many of you have observed that she has matured a lot ever since she recovered from being in a coma for a year. There had been some misunderstandings between her and our family in the past but at the end of the day, we're all family. She's always welcome in our home and she sometimes visits to eat meals with our father."

The reporters didn't entirely believe what he said. They wanted some family drama, especially since it involved one of the hottest
