Chapter 499: Chapter 23: Concern Leads to Chaos
Seeing her niece in this state, Dong Fei glared at her with a sense of despised frustration, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to step in herself.
She adjusted her expression, her face filled with anger as she exclaid, “Shen Chi, how could you do this? ii is still carrying your child!”
After a pause, her expression seed to soften as she said, “I know you are deeply in love with Lin Xiaoguai, but aren’t you afraid that if this child becos known to the outside world, it will affect your promotion? I rember your promotion to the rank of admiral is just around the corner.”
This statent was practically a threat. Although the moral integrity of military and political personnel was not as strictly scrutinized as in the past, it should be noted that the higher-ups were suppressing Shen Chi’s promotion and just when they could hardly hold back, if a ready-made reason fell into their lap, they would undoubtedly be happy to take it.
“A child?” Shen Chi finally shifted his attention, completely ignoring the threat in her words, he raised an eyebrow and said, “I haven’t even touched her little finger, are humans capable of asexual reproduction now?”
Without waiting for Dong Fei to rebut, he added, “Even if that were the case, I’m certainly not the father of the child.”
“Besides, I had a vasectomy years ago for the sake of Wanwan, and you’re telling she’s carrying my child?” His tone was filled with mockery.
At the sa ti, he subtly scrutinized Xu ii. He had thought this woman was stubborn but not exactly the type to be scheming. Could he have been mistaken?
Framing him for another man’s child was not sothing an ordinary person would do.
“What? A vasectomy!?” Dong Fei was stunned, “You’re saying you had a vasectomy?”
Lin Xiaoguai was also taken aback. How could she have forgotten about that?
Seeing Wanwan’s sudden realization, Shen Chi couldn’t help but feel a mixture of amusent and relief, but then it occurred to him that there could only be one reason for her oversight—distress from concern.
With this thought, the hint of a smile uncontrollably spilled from his eyes. Facing Dong Fei’s question, he managed to respond calmly and amiably, “What else?”
Dong Fei was flabbergasted. She abruptly turned to look at Xu ii, “You…” Her niece had sworn the child was Shen Chi’s, had she been deceived?
Xu ii was crying pitifully. Seeing the doubt in Dong Fei’s eyes, she shook her head vehently and said, “It’s Shen Chi’s child, Aunt, please believe , I’ve only been with him, only with him…”
As she spoke, her face flushed with embarrassnt.
Shen Chi frowned, feeling that sothing was off with Xu ii. The way she was acting didn’t seem like she was lying at all.
But she had clearly been accosted by several hoodlums… she did appear to be drunk at the ti. Could soone have intentionally misled her?
Thinking this, he cast a suspicious gaze toward Dong Fei.
Dong Fei was hesitating whether to believe her niece and therefore didn’t notice his gaze.
“Alright, we can find out who the father is once the baby is born and do a DNA test. Can you leave now?” With that, Shen Chi looked at Lin Xiaoguai with a gentle gaze, “Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the Charitable Foundation today? Shall I take you?”
“Sure,” Lin Xiaoguai replied with a smile.
“The child is really Shen Chi’s?” On their way out, Dong Fei asked again.
“It is, it really is his,” Xu ii said impatiently, “Aunt, why don’t you believe ?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just…” Pausing, Dong Fei asked, “Are you sure you’re pregnant?” She hadn’t made a mistake, had she?
“I’m sure, I’ve already had a hospital check-up, didn’t I show you the report?” Xu ii frowned.
Still feeling uneasy, Dong Fei bit her lip and said, “No, I need to take you to the hospital for another check-up.” She was always cautious in her actions. The truth of a vasectomy could be easily verified, and Shen Chi had no reason to deceive her.
Xu ii’s protests were to no avail, as Dong Fei dragged her to another hospital check-up, deliberately choosing a hospital they didn’t usually visit to avoid any traps.
Holding the newly acquired test result, Dong Fei scrutinized it carefully to make sure she wasn’t seeing things.
“I told you I’m really pregnant, Aunt, and you insisted I get tested again,” Xu ii complained sowhat displeased.
“Alright, alright, my fault,” Dong Fei appeased her dismissively, then couldn’t help but add, “But Shen Chi said he’s had a vasectomy.”
“So what? There are cases of won with IUDs still getting pregnant. Who knows how reliable a man’s vasectomy is?” Xu ii said nonchalantly, “The child in my belly is definitely Shen Chi’s.”
Her tone was utterly confident.
