The President's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that Dai Xuan would find out about this old incident once she returned.
He had had an affair with Mary back then, but he had gotten tired of it and had dumped her.
Later, he learned from Mary that Lou Meilan's child had been miscarried and Lou Meilan could no longer get pregnant. He did not like sons. He valued power and did not want to have a son to fight for power with him in the future.
Dai Na was enough for him.
He did not care about who would take over the government after a hundred years. He only cared about whether he would be able to live in luxury for the next few decades.
So, when he found out that Lou Meilan had brought Mary's child to her side to raise, he pretended not to know her thoughts. Anyway, Dai Na was his biological daughter.
Mary had promised her that as long as he did not treat her daughter badly, she would forget all about that matter.
