Paternity test?
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
âIs this method feasible?â she asked uncertainly.
âIf he really is the father, it will definitely work,â Ji Tingyang believed firmly.
When his mother came back, wasnât it through a paternity test that their relationship was confirmed? If Xie Changyan was his father, then it would definitely work as well.
Lin Xu was hesitant.
âIf the result of the test proves that he is the father, then naturally itâs best. If not, you can also eliminate one possibility, canât you?â Ji Tingyang said.
If the result turns out not in favor, mother wouldnât have to think about Xie Changyan all the time anymore.
Just earlier, his mother didnât even wait for him and went horseback riding with Xie Changyan so intimately.
The more Ji Tingyang thought about it, the angrier he became.
He wished Xie Changyan would disappear from his motherâs sight.
After a long struggle, Lin Xu finally agreed to his suggestion, âAlright, but how do we do a paternity test?â
If she directly asked Xie Changyan to take a paternity test with Ji Tingyang.
She would definitely be treated like an idiot, wouldnât she?
Ji Tingyang thought for a moment, âIt would be much easier if we could get a hold of something like his hair.â
Hair?
Lin Xuâs eyes suddenly lit up, âI have an idea!â
With that, she hurriedly ran in the direction Xie Changyan had left.
Luckily, Xie Changyan had just changed out of his riding attire and hadnât left the racecourse yet.
âWait a moment!â Lin Xu quickly called out to him.
Xie Changyan paused in his step, a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes.
âHow did she catch up?â Su Linzhou was also surprised but then seemed to think of something, grinning and winking at Xie Changyan, âShe must be unable to part with you and came over to say she broke up with Ji Tingyang, perhaps?â
Xie Changyan glanced at him, his handsome brow and eyes cold as ice.
Su Linzhou immediately got the hint and shut his mouth.
No longer daring to speak recklessly.
Xie Changyan took steps toward Lin Xu.
He looked around for a few moments and did not spot Ji Tingyang.
âAre you going back now?â asked Lin Xu.
âHmm, is there something you need?â Xie Changyanâs tone was nonchalant as he slightly pursed his lips.
âIâd like to ask you for a favorâ¦â Lin Xu looked at him, a blush of embarrassment rising on her face.
Xie Changyanâs hand pocketed, clenched for a moment as his gaze shifting slightly, his voice deepening, âWhat is it?â
âCan I pluck a strand of your hair?â
â⦠What?â Xie Changyan choked up, momentarily thinking he had misheard.
âJust one strand of hair, thatâs all! I definitely wonât use it for anything bad, can I?â Lin Xuâs eyes were full of pleading, shining brightly.
Xie Changyan, the words of refusal stuck in his throat, could only watch helplessly as Lin Xuâs figure got closer and closer.
Lin Xu tip-toed, her fair arm reaching toward his hair.
The warm breath on his cheek felt like a feather, ticklish and numbing.
As her scent madly surged into his nostrils, becoming even more intense, an inexplicable restlessness stirred in Xie Changyanâs mind.
Just as he was about to grasp Lin Xu, she suddenly stepped back several steps, putting distance between them.
âIâve got it, just one hair,â Lin Xu pinched the hair, waving it in front of him.
Whether it was because of something else that caught his attention, pulling out a hair didnât cause Xie Changyan any pain at all.
âThank you so much.â Just like using him until she got what she needed, Lin Xu ran off immediately after plucking the hair.
Xie Changyan heaved out a deep sigh.
Turning around, he faced Su Linzhouâs eyes full of teasing.
ââ¦â
Su Linzhou said with a playful laugh, âWhat do you think sheâs going to do with your hair? She couldnât possibly be thinking of taking it home to secretly tie a loversâ knot, could she? Like a married couple?â
âBut you, youâre usually so cautious. Not to mention pulling your hair, even the trash youâve used is handled carefully. How come you didnât utter a word when she wanted to pull out one of your hairs?â
âTsk tsk, truly blinded by love, huh?â
Su Linzhouâs voice went on and on.
Xie Changyan didnât respond; instead, he quickened his pace.
When Lin Xu handed the hair to Ji Tingyang, a hint of shock crossed his eyes.
Was it that easy?
Did she get it just like that?
âThis hair has the follicle; it will definitely work for a paternity test. You should take it and try,â Lin Xu said.
Ji Tingyang nodded.
Because she was anxious to get back and do the paternity test, Lin Xu lost the desire to continue strolling around the equestrian club and asked Ji Tingyang to drive back.
On the way home, they passed a mall.
Suddenly, Ji Tingyang remembered the clothes Lin Xu had custom-made and said to her, âDo you want to go in and get the clothes?â
Lin Xu: âOkay.â
Ji Tingyang parked the car at an open parking spot by the roadside, then he and Lin Xu got out and entered the mall.
Ji Yuqiao sat in the café organizing her notes, resting, and her eyes wandered around.
It was at this moment that she saw Ji Tingyang entering the mall across from her.
Most importantly, next to her brother was a woman with a graceful figure, their movements intimate, appearing to be very close.
Who was that woman?
Ji Yuqiao couldnât make out her face clearly.
But who else could it be beside Ji Tingyang if not Wen Li?!
A rage surged in Ji Yuqiaoâs heart, and she breathed heavily, grinding her teeth.
She then picked up her phone, intending to call Ji Tingyang and give him a piece of her mind.
She opened WeChat, and there was a notification for an updated Moments post.
It was from Wen Li.
Ji Yuqiaoâs face was filled with anger.
She couldnât believe that she and Ji Tingyang were just out for a stroll, yet she had to show off on Moments!
With the intention of reprimanding someone, Ji Yuqiao clicked on her Moments and was immediately dumbfounded.
Wen Li had posted a photo of herself studying in the library, and the person next to her was Xiao Yu.
Then who was the woman by her brotherâs side?
Had Ji Tingyang really found someone new?
Ji Yuqiao had heard some whispers and rumors before saying President Ji had abandoned his old flame for a new one, but she never took them seriously.
After all, she knew Ji Tingyang the best.
With Ji Tingyangâs stubborn old ways, even she and Ji Zeqiu couldnât persuade him, how could a man who would forsake even his brother and sister for someone else abandon Wen Li for another woman?
Yet today, Ji Yuqiao realized, this rumor might actually be true.
She quickly gathered her books and stationery, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and ran to the mall across the street.
She had to see who Ji Tingyangâs new favorite was.
What kind of unmatched beauty could make him give up on Wen Li.
But no matter how Ji Yuqiao scoured the mall from the first floor to the sixth, she couldnât find Ji Tingyang and that woman.
Had she arrived too late, had they already left?@@novelbin@@
Ji Yuqiao felt stifled, pulled out her phone, and sent a message to Lin Xu.
Raining Qiao: [My brother actually has another woman outside!]
