"Xiao Yu, you don’t have to care too much about Juanyan’s opinions. As long as you want it done, Grandma will take care of it for you,"
Chi Ying pleaded desperately, trying to persuade Nan Yu.
Seeing this, Nan Yu gave Chi Ying a small smile and explained, "Grandma, I know you’re doing this for my sake, but the wedding itself isn’t important to . What matters is living a good life."
She paused, "I feel very happy and content right now, and I just want to enjoy this family life."
At her words, Chi Ying’s heart swelled with sweetness. She gripped Nan Yu’s hands tightly, "Xiao Yu, then let’s not do it for now. We can hold it next year when you’ve been married for a full year."
Nan Yu nodded with a smile.
In two months, they would be divorced. By next year, perhaps Grandma would be hosting a wedding for Huo Juanyan and the person he truly loved. Grandma would probably be even happier then.

Late at night, in City C, Nan’s Laboratory No. 3.
Nan Zhuoyuan appeared there alone, holding the samples he had prepared much earlier.
The paternity test done at Nan’s Hospital could be tampered with by Nan Luzhi and the others, indicating they had soone planted on the inside.
To be absolutely safe, he didn’t even go ho that night but drove to City C and went to this laboratory he trusted the most.
He had to ensure there were absolutely no issues with that test result!
"Zheng Ling, get the results as fast as you can,"
He handed the two samples of hair he was holding to the lab technician in front of him, a person he trusted the most.
Zheng Ling, rigorously dressed, took them with a serious look in his eyes.
"Zhuo Yuan, the results will be ready in three hours."
Nan Zhuoyuan nodded, "Okay."
He sat in the chair, watching Zheng Ling work at the bench, waiting anxiously.
After a while, he stood up and started pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing inside.
And Zheng Ling, absorbed in his work, didn’t even lift his head as he said, "Zhuo Yuan, you should either go take a nap or walk around, but don’t stay here and distract ."
Nan Zhuoyuan quickly replied, "All right, all right, I’ll step outside."
Before leaving, he glanced at Zheng Ling and reminded him, "Send a ssage as soon as the results co out."
Zheng Ling continued working without lifting his head, "Hmm."
Stepping out of the lab, Nan Zhuoyuan looked up at the bright moon above. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it to his lips.
The lighter ignited sparks in the darkness, flickering on and off.
He took a deep drag, blowing out rings of smoke, as if exhaling all his anxiety.
One after another, one pack after another, the faint sparks flared and then died down, over and over.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed when Zheng Ling’s voice finally ca from inside.
"Zhuo Yuan, the results are in."
Nan Zhuoyuan’s eyes brightened, and he quickly crushed the last cigarette underfoot, hurrying back inside.
"What are the results?"
Standing inside the door, Zheng Ling handed him the report, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuations, "See for yourself."
Nan Zhuoyuan took the report, suddenly afraid, hesitant to open it.
He licked his lips, his hands trembling with nervousness.
Seeing his hesitant movents, Zheng Ling spoke, "What’s the matter? Afraid? Since you were a child, nothing scared you, not even the heavens or the earth. Are you afraid of a paternity test result?"
At those words, Nan Zhuoyuan took a deep breath, "Zheng Ling, you don’t understand."
He closed his eyes, ntally bracing himself.
When he opened his eyes again, the look in them had changed, becoming extraordinarily resolute.
He flipped directly to the last page.
His gaze slid down from the top, landing on the final sentence.
He read it out loud.
"According to the DNA analysis, the two individuals are..."
