Su Yi picked up Mo Jin'er, feeling that she was almost weightless, and then, amidst Mo Jin'er's excited screams, placed her on his shoulder. Mo Jin'er grabbed his hair, excitedly shouting, "Daddy, this is so much fun!" This made the people around them wonder how this young man could have such a big daughter.

Su Yi grabbed Mo Jin'er's legs with both hands to help her sit up. He walked to the door, but found it was too low and he was afraid of hitting Jin'er's head, so he put her down. After going outside, he let her ride on his shoulders again. He walked back and forth in front of the door.

Mo Jin'er was extremely excited, shouting happily, feeling that this was the happiest day of her life.

"Jin'er, come down quickly." Hearing this voice, Su Yi looked over and saw that Mo Yuqing had arrived and was walking towards them.

"Come here, Jin'er, come to Mommy." Mo Yuqing looked at Mo Jin'er, who was on Su Yi's shoulder, with some concern and said.

Su Yi picked up Mo Jin'er and placed her in Mo Yuqing's arms. Mo Jin'er hugged her mother's neck, kissed her cheek, and excitedly said with her little face flushed, "Mommy, Jin'er has a daddy now. Brother Xiao Yi will be Jin'er's daddy from now on."

Meeting Mo Yuqing's questioning gaze, Su Yi smiled and said, "Sister Mo, I want Jin'er to be my goddaughter."

Hearing Jin'er call Su Yi "Dad," Mo Yuqing felt a strange sensation. She didn't show it, however. Seeing her daughter's rare, genuine joy and the excitement she'd shown riding on Su Yi's shoulders, she simply looked at her with doting eyes and said, "This is Jin'er's good fortune, but Xiao Yi shouldn't spoil her." As a mother, she always hoped others would like her child, and besides, she now felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Su Yi.

When Jin'er heard her mother agree, she happily asked Su Yi, "Dad, will you come and take Jin'er to play again tomorrow?"

Seeing Mo Yuqing agree, Su Yi felt relieved and said softly to Mo Jin'er, "Okay, Jin'er, be good, I'll take you to play tomorrow."

Jin'er happily stretched out her little finger and said, "Great! Jin'er is so happy! Daddy, let's pinky swear!"

Seeing the close relationship between the two, Mo Yuqing had a fleeting illusion that they were a family, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time. But then she snapped back to reality, and a wave of shyness washed over her as she recalled her earlier thoughts.

"Mom, your face is so red." Jin'er's words made Mo Yuqing flustered again, and she covered it up by saying, "Jin'er, it's because Mom is a little tired."

"Sister Mo, you've had a long day, go home and rest early." Su Yi said this after hearing Mo Yuqing's words. Seeing Mo Jin'er's reluctant expression, he gently pinched her nose and said, "Jin'er, go home early too, and go to sleep well. I want to see a beautiful Jin'er tomorrow."

So, after kissing Jin'er, Su Yi carried her to Mo Yuqing's car, watched them leave, and then drove home himself.

The next day, Su Yi had no classes in the morning. He went to the company office and logged onto the Mother Nest website. Currently, Lechang Network's biggest expense was purchasing servers. With the surge in users and the expansion of the company's business, the size of the server room was constantly increasing. He had seen information about a device similar to a server in the Mother Nest database. In a certain civilization, there was an array architecture designed for this type of device, which could improve the utilization efficiency of the equipment. Another advantage of this array was that it could give many devices with limited functionality extremely powerful functions and computing efficiency when combined into an array.

Su Yi's current goal is to use this array as a reference to develop an architecture array that can be applied to existing servers. He plans to first conduct experiments using simulated servers within the mothership to test the architecture array described in the documentation. If this technology proves successful, it will not only enable Lechang Company's servers to achieve greater efficiency but also lay the groundwork for his next plan.

Just imagine how vast the future of this technology is—achieving the effect of a mainframe computer with just a few servers.

When Su Yi finished his research, he checked the time and it was almost noon. He had now preliminarily determined that the idea was quite feasible and had derived several structures, each with its own characteristics. To obtain the final results, more detailed experiments were needed to find the different details of each array. These things couldn't be rushed. Su Yi picked up the phone and called Mo Yuqing, inviting her to lunch. He planned to ask her about Mo Jin'er. Mo Yuqing agreed and arranged to meet him at a nearby Western restaurant.

During the meal, Su Yi asked about Mo Yuqing's ex-husband. He didn't understand why, since her ex-husband had given up raising their daughter, he now wanted to go back.

Speaking of this, Mo Yuqing felt somewhat downcast. It turned out that Mo Yuqing's ex-husband's family was from the countryside, so their thinking was somewhat conservative, with deeply ingrained patriarchal views. Because Mo Yuqing gave birth to a daughter, her ex-husband's family disliked her. During the divorce, her ex-husband felt guilty about this, and due to family reasons, he gave Mo Yuqing custody of their daughter. Then, her ex-husband immigrated to the United States, and for some reason, upon his return this time, he demanded to get his daughter back. Furthermore, her ex-husband was somewhat dissatisfied with Mo Jin'er's surname, since he was Jin'er's father and she should ultimately take her father's surname.

Originally, the daughter had always lived with Mo Yuqing, and Mo Yuqing's income was quite considerable, so there were no economic issues. It would be difficult for her ex-husband to get his daughter back. However, Mo Jin'er had a rare heart condition since birth, and there was currently no effective treatment for this condition in China, but medical conditions in the United States were much better. Her ex-husband could use the excuse of taking their daughter back to the United States for treatment to have a legitimate claim. If a lawsuit were to take place, Mo Yuqing's chances of winning would not be high.

Over the years, Mo Yuqing had tried everything she could to cure her daughter's illness. The last time Su Yi and she met in Tibet was because she had heard of a highly skilled Tibetan doctor there, so she took her daughter to see him. Because she was afraid of altitude sickness, she had kept her daughter in a hotel the whole time, and she had prepared a lot of equipment. But after all the hardship of finally finding the Tibetan doctor, he was also helpless after examining Mo Yuqing's condition.

A few days ago, Mo Yuqing's ex-husband officially filed a lawsuit with the court. Mo Yuqing was very anxious and was preparing to find the best lawyer to try her best to protect her daughter.

Seeing the helpless expression on her face and thinking of Mo Jin'er's adorable appearance, Su Yi secretly resolved to find a way to help this poor mother. However, he wasn't confident yet, so he could only comfort Mo Yuqing, telling her that he would support her and that she shouldn't hesitate to help if she needed anything, since he was now Mo Jin'er's godfather.

After parting ways with Mo Yuqing, Su Yi contacted the Kesai ship to inquire if there was any way to treat Mo Jin'er's condition. He learned that a physical scan was needed to confirm the diagnosis. Su Yi also considered that he would be seeing Mo Jin'er that afternoon, so he made a plan.

Su Yi spent the afternoon in his office, continuing to study the server architecture array. It wasn't until his secretary, Ai Moli, came in to remind him that it was time to go to school for choir practice that he remembered he still had to go.

Su Yi drove directly to the gate of Jinghua University, where he saw Xie Li getting out of a taxi. She also saw Su Yi's car and came over to greet him after he parked. It turned out she had just finished a filming shoot. During their conversation, Xie Li asked him what he did for a living and whether he was a rich kid who drove such an expensive car at such a young age.

Su Yi didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he smiled noncommittally and said that he owned a small company and bought this Benz because he liked it. He didn't care whether Xie Li really believed him, since they were at most just ordinary friends, and Xie Li didn't press him further.

However, Su Yi's classmates weren't so easy to deal with. Seeing Su Yi, who hadn't shown up all day, enter with the beautiful Xie, and considering they seemed to have left together yesterday, many speculations arose, and some even started to jeer. After Su Yi sat down, someone tapped him on the shoulder. It was one of his dorm mates, who said with a lewd expression, "Dude, not bad, you've already snagged a beauty. I'm incredibly impressed..."

He smiled helplessly, knowing that these people with their complicated minds probably wouldn't believe him if he said they were just ordinary friends, so he didn't say anything. Besides, some things can't be explained away; often, what others have decided will only be seen as a cover-up.

However, spending an hour surrounded by everyone's meaningful gazes wasn't a pleasant experience. Although Su Yi didn't care, he didn't like the atmosphere either, especially when Xie Li called on him during solo practice. Everyone teased and laughed, and some even wanted Xie Li to sing a duet with him, which was truly speechless. After practice ended, Su Yi hurriedly left and drove to the Century Building to pick up Mo Jin'er.

When Su Yi arrived at Mo Yuqing's office, he saw Mo Jin'er sitting on the sofa reading a picture book. Seeing Su Yi enter, Mo Jin'er happily called out, "Daddy!" and rushed into his arms. Luckily, it was just the mother, daughter, and Su Yi inside; if other people from Mo Yuqing's company were there, there would probably be plenty of gossip.

Mo Yuqing had naturally thought of this as well, but at her age, she no longer cared what others thought. And seeing Mo Jin'er's growing attachment to Su Yi, her own feelings became somewhat complicated.
