“I am at the clinic.” Ye Lu then asked in a cute tone, “What is the type of relationship you want me to do the test on?”

“Father and daughter.”

“It can’t be that Chu Cichen has an illegitimate daughter outside, could he?” Ye Lu gasped in surprise. “How dare he do this to our Brother Jing? That scumbag!”

“…” Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched. “It’s for his younger brother.”

“Ah, oh, oh, then I’ve scolded the wrong person!” Ye Lu didn’t repent at all. “Sigh, my place almost becomes your private DNA testing center!”

“That’s enough. I’ll come over right away.”

Shen Ruojing hung up the call and set off on her bike.

Ye Lu’s lips twitched and then she received a call from the front desk. “Sis Ye, someone is looking for you.”

“Who is it?”

Ye Lu mumbled as she walked out of her office. She then saw a man dressed in a floral shirt standing at the door.

Lu Cheng put on what he thought was a very handsome smile and waved at Ye Lu. “Hello Miss Ye, we meet again~”

Ye Lu. “?”

(Who is this?)

She had never been good at remembering people, but she immediately put on a shy expression. “Why did you come?”

Lu Cheng didn’t notice Ye Lu’s thoughts. He only coughed and said, “It’s like this… Our company wishes to invite the divine doctor to be our pharmaceutical consultant. That’s why I’d like to ask for you to help contact the divine doctor.”

Divine doctor?

Ye Lu nodded. “Alright, I’ll convey this to the divine doctor.”

Lu Cheng coughed and then said, “Oh, right, why didn’t you add me on WeChat with the number I gave you the other time?”

Ye Lu. “?”

(The other time… divine doctor…)

Ye Lu recalled abruptly. (Wasn’t this the foolish man from the other time who was deluded by that white lotus*?)

She lowered her head. “I was afraid that I’d disturb you…”

“You won’t, you won’t…” Lu Cheng let out a cough. “Then shall we add each other on WeChat now?”

“Alright!”

Ye Lu took out her phone and opened up her QR code. “You can scan mine then.”

After Lu Cheng scanned the QR code, he sent her a friend invite. “Then I’ll head off first?”

“Hmm, I’ll send you off.”

Ye Lu’s eyes were gleaming, looking like she had great admiration for him. After sending him off, she opened up her phone and took a look at the WeChat apps.

After giving it some thought, Ye Lu agreed to the friend request. Just as she was about to add in the details, she was caught in a dilemma.

What was this person’s name again?

–

Shen Ruojing then left the recording studio.

However, Bai Shanshan hadn’t. She first removed her makeup and changed her clothes before picking Yan Xiaoqi up to leave.

Chu Cimo followed by her side and mumbled, “She’s already so old, can’t she walk by herself? It’s so tiring for you to have to carry her.”

Chu Cimo didn’t like children.

He found them troublesome.

They would cry over every little thing and ask to be carried. Furthermore, this girl was Yan Zihao’s child. Given how badly Yan Zihao had treated Bai Shanshan, Chu Cimo didn’t like Yan Xiaoqi that much either.

Yan Xiaoqi had grown to be very sensitive after having lived in that kind of environment since young.

Hence, she wrapped her arms tightly around Bai Shanshan’s neck and glared at Chu Cimo.

Bai Shanshan stopped in her footsteps and looked at Chu Cimo. “… Do you dislike Xiaoqi?”

Chu Cimo immediately said, “Of course not! That’s not true! How is that possible?!”

His three consecutive denials reflected his guilty conscience.

However, after meeting Bai Shanshan’s serious gaze, he scratched his head and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to get myself to like her. After all, since I love you, I’ll have to love the people you are connected with!”

“No need.” Bai Shanshan lowered her head and walked off while carrying Yan Xiaoqi.

Even though Chu Cimo had confessed and said so much, Bai Shanshan had thought things out. She mustn’t rely on men. She needed her own career.

When she was arguing with Yan Zihao earlier, she had made up her mind not to get married in the next few years.

She also put herself in Chu Cimo’s shoes. If he had a child with someone else, would she be able to treat that child as her own?

She would probably not be able to do that. How one treated their own child would be different from how they would treat a child born by someone else.

It was probably something that even a saint wouldn’t be able to do.

However, she had made herself feel aggrieved for so long that she didn’t wish to make Xiaoqi feel the same as well.

She wanted her daughter to have a happy childhood.

Noticing Bai Shanshan’s upset emotions, Chu Cimo was stupefied. He quickly said, “Shanshan, I really…”

As he was speaking, the three of them had reached the entrance.

They had just stepped out when Yan Zihao suddenly pounced over, shouting, “Shanshan, is this the person you’re having an affair with? Is he the reason why you want to divorce me?”

There was already a group of reporters and paparazzi near the recording studio waiting to take photos. They didn’t expect to suddenly hear such a piece of explosive news.

Right now, Bai Shanshan was the hottest topic!

Any news of her would become trending news.

Therefore, Yan Zihao’s words caused the paparazzi and reporters who were hidden nearby to come dashing over, surrounding them.

Yan Zihao no longer appeared as domineering as he usually did, but instead, he looked more like a husband who was betrayed. He said while looking confounded, “I know that the Chu Family is more capable and amazing… but can’t you stay for our daughter’s sake?”

Bai Shanshan was stunned.

The reporters all went crazy as if they had uncovered a big piece of news!

All of them started taking photos. After that, as if they feared that they’d be slower than others in releasing, they started to post the news on Weibo directly!

[Explosive news! Bai Shanshan has an affair whilst in marriage!]

[Bai Shanshan is a mistress for a young master of an influential family!]

There were all sorts of similar headlines, and when people clicked on the post, they’d see the photos taken here.

Thankfully, Bai Shanshan had subconsciously covered Yan Xiaoqi’s face when the reporters came dashing over. With this, Yan Xiaoqi’s face wasn’t exposed.

Despite this, the Internet was once again thrown into a great commotion!

——My god! Thank goodness I haven’t become Bai Shanshan’s fan yet. Otherwise, I’d be disappointed again!

——Boohoohoo, thank goodness I became a fan earlier. If I were any slower, I wouldn’t have made it to be disappointed by this wave of disappointment.

——Bai Shanshan has an affair? Is the reason why she suddenly debuted because she has curried up to a young master of an influential family?

——My god, I thought that a woman like Bai Shanshan would definitely rely on her capabilities. I didn’t expect that a young master of an influential family would like someone chubby like her.

——Someone should really take the celebrities’ private lives in rein. This marriage relationship is too messed up!

——Let me enlighten those who are unaware. The young master in question here is the Chu Family’s second son. The Chu Family is the most influential family in Sea City!

——Am I the only one who feels that the child is the most pitiful one here? News of her parents would be left on the Internet. How would she be able to face all these after she grows up?

——Didn’t Bai Shanshan’s husband brainwash her? Then her husband isn’t a good person either!

——A b*tch paired with a b*stard. It’s a perfect match!

…

…

Waves and waves of scoldings started taking place on the Internet.

The reporters had all turned to Yan Zihao and asked, “Are you really Bai Shanshan’s husband?”

“That’s right.”

Yan Zihao clearly came prepared. He took out their marriage certificate and handed it to one of the reporters. “Shanshan has been constantly bringing up divorce recently. I thought that it was because we made her be a replacement singer, but I didn’t expect that she would have an affair!”

He took a deep breath. “I know that I’ve let her down, but the child is innocent! Xiaoqi, come, go home with Daddy!”

Bai Shanshan immediately held tightly onto Yan Xiaoqi. “No, the child must stay with me.”

Yan Zihao squinted his eyes. “Stay with you? And be looked down upon by others in the future? I can swear that I won’t remarry in the future. What about you? Can you do the same?!”
