The next day, Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi arrived at the gates of Hai City University early, with Song Jiaxi gazing intently at the main entrance through the car window.
Xiao Yongze sighed helplessly: "Dear, why don't we find a breakfast place first? It's still over two hours until 9 o'clock, Ye Jinng won't be out this early."
Song Jiaxi ignored him, still fixated on the school entrance.
Ye Jinng had spent the entire night in a half-awake state, unsure if she was asleep or not, feeling utterly exhausted.
Checking the ti on her phone, it was just past 6 AM. Unable to sleep, she decided to get up and head out.
Xiao Yongze, sitting in the car, thought about grabbing so breakfast for his wife first.
Just as he was about to get out of the car, Song Jiaxi unexpectedly beat him to it, exiting before he could.
Xiao Yongze instinctively glanced over and saw Ye Jinng strolling slowly through the main gate.
Ye Jinng seed slightly startled upon seeing Song Jiaxi hurrying toward her, not expecting them to arrive so early. She was suddenly glad she had co out earlier too.
"Ye Jinng, why are you out so early? Didn't sleep well last night?" Song Jiaxi imdiately took Ye Jinng's hand, looking at the faint dark circles under the young girl's eyes with concern.
"Auntie Song, why did you and Uncle co to the school so early?"
"Your uncle and I couldn't sleep, so we ca out early," Song Jiaxi explained.
"Ye Jinng, have you had breakfast? How about we go eat together?"
Ye Jinng nodded: "Okay."
The three went to a breakfast place near the university. Song Jiaxi enthusiastically asked Ye Jinng what she wanted to eat.
With little appetite, Ye Jinng casually ntioned stead buns and soy milk.
Their breakfast soon arrived, but Ye Jinng could only manage two stead buns before feeling full.
Seeing Ye Jinng's lack of enthusiasm, the couple felt a slight tightness in their chests, thinking she might not want to do the paternity test with them.
Song Jiaxi probed gently: "Ye Jinng, you don't seem in a good mood. Is sothing bothering you? You can tell Auntie."
Ye Jinng pursed her lips, seeming hesitant to speak.
Xiao Yongze spoke up: "Ye Jinng, if you have anything to say, just tell us. If you don't want to do the paternity test, Uncle won't force you."
Ye Jinng quickly shook her head. "No, no Uncle, it's not that I don't want to do it."
"Then what is it?"
Ye Jinng rubbed her nose, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Uncle, Auntie, if, if the paternity test results show that I'm not your child, does that an I can't co over to mooch food anymore?"
Indeed, ever since hearing Xu Wanwan's speculation the previous night, Ye Jinng had been tornted by this question.
What if she wasn't Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi's child? What if they suddenly disliked her and beca distant, not allowing her to co over for als anymore? What would she do then?
Auntie Song's cooking was so delicious; it would be such a pity if she could no longer eat it in the future.
The more Ye Jinng thought about it, the more miserable she felt.
The two, who had been anxious monts before, were taken aback upon hearing this, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Song Jiaxi reached out and ruffled Ye Jinng's fluffy hair, laughing: "You silly girl, even if you're not our child, I'll still treat you as my goddaughter. Even if you co to mooch food every day, I'll happily cook you delicious als, three tis a day without repeating any dishes."
Xiao Yongze couldn't help but shake his head as well. "That's right, don't overthink it. Don't tell you didn't sleep all night because of this."
Ye Jinng's face instantly turned red. As embarrassing as it was, that was indeed the case.
In her dreams all night, she had seen delicious food flying away as she cried and chased after it, unable to taste a single bite...
Though Ye Jinng didn't respond, her sheepish expression told the couple everything they needed to know. Finding it endearingly cute but not wanting to embarrass her further, they began placing stead buns on the small plate in front of her.
Ye Jinng didn't dare look up at the couple, lowering her head to nibble on the stead buns.
She had to admit, the stead buns suddenly tasted incredibly delicious!
At the paternity testing facility, they had blood samples taken directly and completed the registration process quickly. The results would be available in just three days, much faster than the police departnt's tiline.
"Ye Jinng, do you want to co over for lunch? Auntie will make sothing delicious for you," Song Jiaxi extended the invitation cheerfully after leaving the facility.
"Yes, yes!" Ye Jinng nodded eagerly.
"Let's go ho then. We'll eat, and then I'll drop you back at school for class."
The mother and daughter held hands, skipping rrily toward the parking lot. Xiao Yongze followed behind, watching their backs with a montary sense of disorientation.
This feeling... it seed quite nice, didn't it?
Xiao Yongze paused, gazing up at the sky. In his world, had it been this long since the sky looked so blue?
He hoped Heaven would grant his and his wife's wish, allowing their family to be reunited!
Song Jiaxi's voice called out from afar, "Honey, what are you spacing out for? If you don't hurry, we'll leave you behind!"
A broad smile spread across Xiao Yongze's face as he quickened his pace, waving back: "Coming, coming!"
Jian Hongi learned about Xiao Wenyao being taken away by the police from the morning news headlines.
Jian Hongi felt the world spinning, imdiately fainting at ho.
It was Liu Lawyer who found her and revived her by pressing on her Renzhong point.
Liu Lawyer was now in a panic. With Xiao Wenyao in custody, if he implicated the lawyer, there would be no escape. That's why he ca to the Xiao residence to consult Jian Hongi.
"Madam, what should we do now?"
Jian Hongi sat up shakily, still feeling the world was surreal. How could her husband be arrested so suddenly without warning?
"Liu Lawyer, tell , what exactly happened?"
Liu Lawyer shook his head. "I don't know the details either. I only saw the news today.
I called Zhao Secretary to ask, and he said that yesterday, Sean from X International obtained 90% of the company's shares and ca to inspect the company. Apparently, Sean is quite familiar with Mr. Xiao. After sending outsiders away, who knows what happened, but the police arrived..."
Jian Hongi's eyes widened. "This has sothing to do with Sean? But I've never heard Wenyao ntion knowing Sean before!"
"You're a lawyer, why don't you take responsibility for Xiao Wenyao's case?"
Liu Lawyer dared not do that now, he was barely escaping with his life, let alone daring to rush in and deliver his own head!
"I, I'm trying to co up with a solution for Mr. Xiao, why don't you go to X International yourself and ask Sean for help or plead for rcy?"
He said this while taking out his phone and opening the chat interface.
"This is a screenshot of the surveillance footage that Zhao Secretary sent , it's Sean and his wife. Take a look so you can identify them later."
Jian Hongi took the phone, but after just a glance, she was so shocked that her mind went blank, and the phone fell from her hands to the ground.
Liu Lawyer was concerned about his phone, but seeing Jian Hongi's dazed expression, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Madam, madam, what's wrong?"
