Chapter 387

Ziyue laughed when she saw their comments.

She raised her head, and her eyes landed on the child.

Does Zixi look like Muchen?

She observed him for a while and realized they looked alike.

Zixi noticed her stare and waddled toward her. "Aunt Su!"

Beef followed behind him while wagging its tail. It was a pleasing sight.

Ziyue felt a lump in her throat.

She had seen the scene before.

She had imagined what would have happened if the child was born back then.

She closed her eyes, lifting her face to the sky, and calmed herself down.

"What is it?" She crouched down and stroked his face.

Zixi didn't move away but pulled on her arm. "Come with me."

He wanted her to play with him.

She widened her eyes and quickly nodded. "Sure. Let's play together."

She was surprised. They had only known each other for a few days. Enxue even said that he was introverted and had always been shy around strangers.

But it didn't feel like he was uncomfortable around her.

In fact, he seemed to like her.

His smooth hand was tiny. She couldn't hold his hand tightly and only followed his lead.

But her phone rang.

It was an unknown number.

Zixi blinked his dark eyes a few times before he released her hand. He pointed to her pocket. "Phone!"

She smiled. "You know it's called a phone, huh?"

He paid no attention to her while he walked away as if he knew that she needed to pick up the call and couldn't play with him.

Ziyue stood to one side, making sure she wasn't in his way but still could see him as she picked up the call. "Hello?"

She didn't know who the caller was.

"Mrs. Qin." It was a man. His voice was rather familiar.

This is...

The man spoke again before Zlyue could figure it out. "I'm Mo Xiyi."

"Doctor Mo?"

She remembered the doctor who Muchen had called for her. He was a germaphobe.

He revealed his intentions. "Yes, it's me. I've seen the photo of the child. He looks a lot like Mr. Qin. I have to trouble you to get some of the child's hair. I'll collect it from you later."

His tone of voice was solemn as usual.

She listened blankly. "How have you seen the photo?"

"I'm at Lumiere Jade House," he said plainly.

Ziyue had added Nan Chuan on WeChat. He would be able to see her WeChat Moments. He must have shown the photo to Xiyi when Xiyi went to meet him.

She couldn't help but laugh. "Doctor Mo, they just look a little similar. He can't be Muchen's illegitimate son."

"I don't think so. I've studied genetics before. Besides..."

This is nonsense!

But she couldn't say anything to the obsessive doctor, who would even meticulously disinfect himself thrice.

She agreed in the end.

She hung up the call and went back to her feed. Unsurprisingly, Nan Chuan had commented on her post.

Naruko Chuji: How shocking! Don't worry, Mrs. Qin! I swear on my dignity that Mr. Qin is innocent!

She had always wondered when she saw his username. It wasn't odd that he didn't use his mother tongue for his username, but what does 'Naruko Chuji' mean?

However she read it, there was sadness behind the username.

Putting her phone back in her pocket, she went up to Zixi and ruffled his hair. "Alright, we can't play anymore. Let's go and wash our hands for food."

As she pulled back her hand, she noticed two strands of hair on it.

Xiyi came quickly, just as Ziyue had expected.

She rushed home after the meal, and he arrived the moment she stepped into her house.

"Mrs. Qin." His tone of voice was as polite as before.

Ziyue admired people with such tenacity.

"You don't need to be so polite. Just call me by my name. Muchen is the one supporting your research, not me."

He raised an eyebrow and replied with a soft hum.

Ziyue knew he would bring up the request about the hair next.

She took out a plastic bag containing the two strands of hair and handed it to him. "Here it is."

He took it and asked, "Where is Mr. Qin?"

"He's in Country J." Xiyi must have been immersed in his research to the point that he isn't aware of anything about Muchen.

He furrowed his brows as if he wasn't pleased.

"Mrs. Qin, I'll take my leave," he said and left.

I've just told him he doesn't need to be that polite.

Never mind. These researchers have always been strict on themselves. He can call me whatever he likes.

She poured out some food for Beef and watched the television in the living room.

She went to bed late for the past few days, but she couldn't take a nap. I might as well just watch some television.

The front door opened as she nodded off.

Who is it now?

She opened her eyes groggily and turned her head. A worn-out Muchen entered the house, pulling a suitcase behind him.

She was stunned for a moment. "Why are you back already?"

He was still dressed in his black clothes. His face was haggard.

As Beef pounced on him, he pushed it away. He threw his suitcase aside and strode straight toward Ziyue.

He picked up the remote control and switched off the television. After staring at her for a few seconds, he held her face and kissed her.

"Mmm..."

Ziyue nudged him, and he calmed down.

She wondered how she had endured the past two years. It had only been a few days, but she missed him terribly.

He released her after a while. "You would have caused more trouble if I hadn't returned."

She put on a rare pout. "I didn't."

He raised his eyebrows and pinched her cheeks lightly. "Su Yige, Lin Enxue, and a child?"

"Hmph, I don't see why those are troubles."

He quirked an eyebrow. "Alright then, you didn't cause any trouble. All those troubles come to you."

"That's enough. You haven't eaten, right? I'll make you some food." She reached out a hand to cover his mouth.

He pulled her hand away and glanced at her arm. "Wait here. I'll do it."
