About half an hour later, Xiao Linye ca out. Kang Xuan, who had been waiting outside, saw him and approached respectfully. "Master."
"Have the dical team co to the Xiao Corporation."
At this mont, Xiao Linye had a bad feeling, but this so-called "bad" might actually be good for him.
Kang Xuan’s expression froze when he heard the dical team was needed. "Are you not feeling well?"
"Just have them co!" Xiao Linye commanded.
"Yes, yes, of course."
Xiao Linye said nothing more, and Kang Xuan didn’t dare to ask further.
「On the way back to the company.」
Xiao Linye’s mind kept replaying mories of his ti with Ye Yuning. The more he thought about it, the tighter his chest felt.
From Xiao Shuo’s attitude towards Ye Yuning, it was clear that he... truly didn’t dare pursue her. Ye Yuning didn’t think much of him either. Kang Xuan had checked everything; she wasn’t the issue, nor was Xiao Shuo. So, the only thing that could possibly be wrong... was the dicine I took! Or could it be that the dicine in my body no longer affects in that way? It has to be said, looking at the current situation, that’s entirely possible. If that’s really the case... He desperately hoped it was so!
Kang Xuan worked swiftly. By the ti Xiao Linye returned to his office, the dical team was already waiting.
Xiao Linye explained what he wanted to check. The leading professor was stunned. "Examine this? Why would Seventh Master want to check this?"
"I want to check if the dication I’m taking could cause infertility," Xiao Linye stated.
"Of course, it won’t!" the professor exclaid before Xiao Linye had even finished speaking.
Xiao Linye was speechless. "..."
Kang Xuan was also speechless. "..."
Both n stared at the professor.
In slightly broken Chinese, the professor explained, "Didn’t we inform you before? We found a substitute dication that won’t cause any harm to your body."
"When was that?" Xiao Linye’s tone turned cold. He had absolutely no recollection of it.
Seeing Xiao Linye’s expression, the professor realized he had likely forgotten and quickly added, "Half a year ago. It seems you were very busy and forgot."
"You an, even while taking this dicine, I can still have children? I’m able to have children, right?" Xiao Linye pressed.
"Yes, of course, you can."
Xiao Linye was silent. "..."
Kang Xuan was also silent. "..."
The air in the room grew still.
A cold light flickered in Xiao Linye’s eyes; he looked murderous. Yet, at the sa ti, a wave of relief washed over him, accompanied by an irrepressible joy. These complex emotions clashed within him. Anger and panic were predominant... The child was his, always had been. What, then, had he done to Ningning?
Kang Xuan’s voice trembled with excitent. "Master, the child is yours!"
"Of course, he’s mine! Could he belong to soone else? Am I that incompetent?" Xiao Linye retorted.
Kang Xuan was speechless. "..." What a statent! And who was it again that kept insisting the child wasn’t his, causing all this drama?
"Should I book a flight to Turanxi for you now?" Kang Xuan asked.
"Book it! Right away!"
"What about the Old Master..." Kang Xuan hesitated, though it felt harsh to bring it up now. But he felt it was necessary to remind Xiao Linye that the child wasn’t the only issue they faced.
At the ntion of his father, Xiao Linye’s face stiffened, and his eyes turned icy. He replied coldly, "I’ll go to Turanxi first." As for everything else, he couldn’t deal with it right now. All he wanted was to see her.
Rembering what Qin Jinchuan had said on the phone—that she had fallen, nearly miscarried, and been hospitalized for several days—made Xiao Linye’s heart leap into his throat. He wished he could slap himself. What exactly had he done to her? He felt like an utter scoundrel.
"Yes, of course," Kang Xuan nodded.
It seed that this ti, nothing could stop Xiao Linye. Kang Xuan had always known that Xiao Linye had distanced himself from Ye Yuning not because of her engagent to Xiao Shuo, nor because she had almost married Qin Jinchuan. When had Xiao Linye ever cared about his pride? It was because of the child...
Kang Xuan was about to leave with the dical team when, just as he turned, Xiao Linye added, "Arrange a private flight." He wanted a private jet to Turanxi, to see her in the shortest possible ti.
"Yes, of course," Kang Xuan nodded again.
At that mont, Kang Xuan finally saw a trace of a smile on his master’s face. No one knew how repressed the employees of the Xiao Corporation had been these past few days. With the boss scowling at work every day, who could have an easy ti? But now, it seed the storm had finally passed, and clear skies were ahead—though a tempest might be brewing for the Xiao Family. Still, that wasn’t his workplace, so it wouldn’t affect him.
Kang Xuan left.
Xiao Linye pulled out his phone, quickly found Ye Yuning’s number, and started to dial. But just as it began to ring, he hung up.
What could he say to her now? That the child was his? That he had misunderstood before? He didn’t even have to think about it; he knew that fiery little woman had a temper. She’d probably just curse him—"Crazy!"—and hang up. It would be better to explain everything in person.
A smile touched Xiao Linye’s lips, and his eyes shimred with an unprecedented warmth. His Ningning. She was his, and the child was his too.
