_2 Brother Wang turned his head back to Lin Xian:
“Lin Xian, are you really going?
You better think this through!”
“Let’s go.”
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“It’s nothing.”
Brother Wang gritted his teeth…
He finally understood.
Be it Zhao Yingjun or Lin Xian, ever since the mention of paternity testing with the little girl, these two hadn’t had a direct conversation!

It seemed like both were talking to themselves, but in reality, he was just a messenger, a shield, a barrier.
Zhao Yingjun claimed not to care…

yet, it was his wife, the director of the testing department, who had brought it up!
Almost forcing him to drag Lin Xian to take the paternity test.
Strangely enough, Lin Xian seemed completely composed, as if he didn’t care and showed no sign of guilt.
Brother Wang really couldn’t figure out what these two were hiding.
Ordinarily, if one wasn’t guilty, why would they think of taking a DNA paternity test?
He had intended to protect Lin Xian.
But in this case…
chances were he wouldn’t be able to.
Zhao Yingjun clearly wanted both of them to take the paternity test, and had paved the way with the hospital and acquaintances; Lin Xian too, seemed eager to take the test.
So.
The cousin from the Mi Country and distant relatives—was all that just a silly excuse made up on the spot?
Alas.
He gritted his teeth:
“Alright then.”
It’s hard for an honest official to settle a domestic affair, so he chose to let it be:
“Then Lin Xian…
let’s depart.
East Sea Second Hospital is nearby, I’ll call my wife and get us in first for a quick resolution.”
“I’ll call Xiao Li first, to drive us there.”
Lin Xian nodded, patted Yu Xi on the shoulder, rousing her from the sofa, and followed behind Brother Wang.
Suddenly!
Brother Wang felt a chill-inducing gaze!
Like an icy sword piercing through him, freezing him on the spot!
He shakily turned around and found this terrifying sight…
indeed came from Zhao Yingjun!
“Ahem.”
He got the hint.
In a low voice, he said:
“So…
President Zhao?
Do you want to come with us?”
“Hehe.”
Zhao Yingjun gave a casual laugh:
“I guess I won’t go.”
Hehe.
Brother Wang inwardly laughed too, see, you’re still pretending!
You clearly want to go!
You’re just waiting for me to give you an excuse:
“Ah, come on, it’s not busy right now and you’ve helped a lot with my daughter’s schooling before, my sister-in-law has always said we should thank you properly!”
“Alright then.”
Zhao Yingjun unfolded his arms, shoved them back into his coat pockets, and looked down at his high heels clacking as he followed:
“Then I might as well come with you.”
…
On the way, the driver Xiao Li drove the Alfa Romeo, which felt unusually heavy and difficult to maneuver today.
In the passenger cabin behind him, there were four people total.
In the front two seats, sat Lin Xian and his cousin from Mi Country.
In the back two seats, sat President Zhao and Brother Wang.
Normally they were all familiar with each other…
But now, not a single person spoke, creating an exceedingly heavy atmosphere!
This inexplicable heaviness made it feel like he wasn’t driving a top-notch business car like the Alfa Romeo, but a cumbersome oil tanker, or an overloaded truck…
the steering wheel was even hard to turn.
Fortunately,
The East Sea Second Hospital wasn’t far from the Twin Towers Building where the Rhein Company and MX Company were located; they didn’t need to take the elevated roads, just a few turns and they arrived.
“We’re…
here.”
Driver Xiao Li said succinctly.
He could clearly sense the current atmosphere, not a word extra needed.
Brother Wang, very familiar with the place, directly led the trio…
ahem, although they looked a bit like a family, they were actually three unrelated individuals, to the testing department where his wife worked.
It must be said, a director is still a director.
Experienced and knowledgeable.
When she learned that Lin Xian was to take a paternity test with this teenage girl, she showed no surprise at all.
On her job…
she had seen far stranger things; this was nothing.
So she directly arranged for blood to be drawn, Lin Xian finished filling a vial, then Yu Xi.
Lin Xian took a special look, the blood Yu Xi drew looked no different from a normal person’s, which he had already confirmed before while treating her wounds.
“Does that future drug enhancement, gene editing stuff affect DNA testing?”
Taking advantage of the privacy in the drawing room, Lin Xian whispered.
“I don’t know.”
Yu Xi shook her head blankly, looking at Lin Xian:
“Why did you suddenly think of taking a paternity test with me?
I didn’t speak up when everyone was around…
What made you think of such an absurd idea?
You don’t think you’re my ancestor, do you, making me travel back in time to protect you?”
“That’s part of the reason.”
Lin Xian answered honestly:
“But there are other factors…
lots of things are hard to explain.
Since you don’t know who your parents are, logically speaking, anyone could be your parent.”
“What kind of logic is that?” Yu Xi pressed the cotton swab against her puncture site.
Lin Xian did the same:
“Considering the hibernation pod will soon be mass-produced for use, it’s possible your parents could be people from the current era.
Although I don’t know which century you were born in, isn’t the function of the hibernation pod to let people sleep for hundreds of years without aging, and wake up in the future?
So theoretically, I might be related to you by blood.
Although I’m determined not to use the hibernation pod now…
people change, and who knows, one day I might impulsively sleep in one and go to the future, then have you with some woman?”
