Before the paternity test results were out, the answer in Li Xiwuâs heart was close to the mark. She thought she needed a moment to accept it. However, after seeing the DNA proof that Youyou was her biological daughter, she realized that she had quickly accepted this fact and was even indescribably happy.
However, rejoicing took up more of her heart.
She knew from her dream that she had been pregnant, but no one around her knew, which meant that the child she had given birth to was unknown. Now, she saw the child she had given birth to back then, and she was alive and kicking in front of her. How could she not rejoice?
However, when she thought about how the daughter she gave birth to back then was born with Gu Lanshi, her mood sank again.
However, she probably never expected the results to be reversed. Her mother-daughter relationship with Youyou was established, but Gu Lanshiâs father-daughter relationship with Youyou was not.
In other words, Gu Lanshi was not Youyouâs biological father at all.
The moment she found out about this result, Li Xiwu did not have the slightest anger from being deceived by Gu Lanshi. She only felt relieved for a moment. Her emotions had fluctuated in just a few seconds, so she was very calm after reading the results.
As for the turmoil in her heart, only she knew.
She was not in a hurry to find Youyouâs biological father again. What she had to do now was to bring Youyou back and do everything she could to make up for the past four years. As for Pei Jingzhou, she would explain it well.
She had already thought of a lot of what to do next.
However, Gu Lanshiâs words, âTake Youyou back and do another paternity test with Pei Jingzhou.â stunned Li Xiwu for a long time.
Youyou and Pei Jingzhou.
She and Youyou.
So, they were a real family of three.
Gu Lanshi walked closer to Li Xiwu. Seeing that she was unable to come back to her senses because of his words for a long time, he laughed and said, âShouldnât this outcome be the outcome you hoped for more?
Li Xiwuâs eyelids trembled and she reacted slightly. However, she did not reply.
She lowered her eyes and thought about something.
Seeing that Li Xiwu was silent, Gu Lanshi smiled self-deprecatingly. âActually, itâs not that important to let Youyou and Pei Jingzhou do another paternity test. You just have to tell him that you gave birth to Youyou. Letâs see what he thinks. â
Li Xiwu really thought about it seriously. After bringing Youyou back and telling Pei Jingzhou that she had given birth to her four years ago, how would Pei Jingzhou react?
He had never known that she had been pregnant. Would he believe that she had given birth to a daughter when he suddenly found out?
With this thought in mind, Li Xiwu said softly, âThereâs no need for any tests.
As long as I say it myself, Youyou is my daughter from four years ago. Whether sheâs his biological daughter or not, he will treat Youyou as his biological daughter.â
Gu Lanshi said, âI can tell that you trust him very much.â
âYes, I trust him.â Li Xiwuâs tone was firm. âBut this has nothing to do with feelings, it is because heâs Pei Jingzhou.â
Feelings could make a person compromise. However, Pei Jingzhou could compromise without a bottom line because it was her.
Even if Youyou was really the daughter she had with someone else, Pei Jingzhou would still treat Youyou as his own daughter. She was very sure that she was sad because she could not get over it.
The suppressed emotions in Gu Lanshiâs chest were completely relieved. âI know I caused the torment in your heart these past two days, so I have to apologize to you.â
Li Xiwuâs lips parted, wanting to say, âYou donât have toâ¦â
Gu Lanshi said, âI have to say it even if I donât have to. Iâm really sorry.â
Li Xiwu pursed her lips slightly. Every time the two of them looked at each other at such a close distance, she was always the first to look away. This time, she did not look away and just looked at Gu Lanshi quietly.
âCompared to the depressed mood and conflict from before, I feel more enlightened now.â Gu Lanshi smiled and continued, âIâm a contradictory person. Before I lied to you, I thought about it many times. Just as I was about to lie to you, I thought that I should tell you the truth. However, my selfishness pulled me back. I always wanted to fight for something. Itâs probably because Iâve been unwilling for the past four years.â
Li Xiwu didnât know what to say, but she caught a flash of disappointment in Gu Lanshiâs eyes. She pursed her lips for a moment and said slowly, âGu
Lanshi, vou deserve a better person.â
Gu Lanshi observed her expression. âI knew youâd say that.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lanshi slowly stood up and took two steps back. âIâve thought about it carefully. Continuing to lie to you will only make you sadder, and I wonât be happy. Since I wonât be smug no matter what, then Iâll satisfy my own selfish desires. Iâm very satisfied to spend a day with you and Youyou.â
Gu Lanshi looked into Li Xiwuâs eyes and said sincerely, âSo I was telling the truth when I said that I was very happy today.â
Li Xiwu felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat. After a while, she said, ââ¦Thank you.â
âIâll accept this thank you first.â Gu Lanshi smiled. âAfter all, itâs not easy to take care of a child in the past four years. Although Iâve hired an auntie, I still have to do many things myself. When you go back, remember to ask Pei
Jingzhou to transfer me a sum of money. Itâs expensive to raise a child.â
Li Xiwu was still thinking about what to say to ease the atmosphere. It was only when she heard Gu Lanshi say that raising a child cost money that she couldnât help but laugh. She agreed. âOkay, Iâll talk to him when I get back.â
âYouyou.â
Gu Lanshi turned around and shouted at Youyou, who was sitting there playing Ultraman.
Youyou turned her head. âHuh?â
Gu Lanshi waved gently. âCome here.â
Youyou listened to Gu Lanshi and walked over with the Ultraman she had just bought today. When Youyou approached, Gu Lanshi squatted down and said to Youyou, âYou wonât go home with Brother today. Youâll go home with Sister today, okay?â
Youyou looked up at Li Xiwu and then at Gu Lanshi. She did not agree immediately. Instead, she asked first, âIs only Youyou going? Is Brother going?
Gu Lanshi shook his head. âNo.â
Youyouâs face was wrinkled and she puffed up her cheeks as if she was conflicted about whether to go to her sisterâs house. Seeing the little girlâs dilemma, Gu Lanshi said, âSister will bring you to her house to play. If you want to come back, call Brother. Brother will pick you up.â This was said with assurance. It was reassuring to hear.
Youyou stopped struggling and nodded with a smile. âOkay, okay.â
Gu Lanshi reminded her, âThen you have to be obedient.â
Youyou seemed to find it long-winded, but she still agreed obediently. âI will.â
âAlso,â Gu Lanshi continued to remind her, âYou have to sleep early tonight.
Donât disturb Sister.â
Youyou rolled her eyes. âGot it.â
Li Xiwu stood at the side and watched quietly. She did not disturb Gu Lanshi from bidding Youyou farewell for the time being.
After a few simple instructions, Gu Lanshi felt a little relieved. He picked Youyou up and said to Li Xiwu, âIâll send you back. Weâll talk about the rest in the car.â
Li Xiwu nodded. âOkay..â
