Chapter 856: Secretly Conducting a Paternity Test 1
"Alright, you two can leave now," President Shi Mai’er instructed.
The two bodyguards nodded and left the room.
He looked around and asked Song Yinyin, "Where’s Mr. Lu?"
"Oh, he’s downstairs at the children’s playground playing with Dabai."
Song Yinyin replied, pouring a glass of fruit juice, placing it gently on the coffee table, and said to President Shi Mai’er, "Please have a sip of juice."
"Thank you."
Song Yinyin looked up at President Shi Mai’er and noticed the obvious dark circles under his eyes. She asked, "Mr. President, have you been very busy these past few days?"
"Uh, it’s alright."
"You should take care of yourself. Make sure to rest when you need to. Look, you even have dark circles," Song Yinyin said worriedly.
In fact, President Shi Mai’er hadn’t slept all night, smoking several packs of cigarettes on the sofa, with his mind full of the words Song Yinyin had said to him in the hospital.
He was filled with regret, heartache, and a sour sadness...
As dawn broke slightly, he quickly took a shower, changed into clean clothes, arranged for a car, and under the guise of bringing farewell gifts, came to see Song Yinyin.
He was afraid that if he didn’t do something now, he’d truly miss his chance with her this lifetime.
That sweater, he confirmed again and again, was indeed the one hand-knitted by Xiao Yueru for him during their time together in Country Z.
He still remembered her saying, "In our Country Z, if a girl likes a boy, she’ll knit a sweater for him."
He would never forget her gentle, serene demeanor while knitting for him, like a quiet little deer...
Thinking of the past, President Shi Mai’er felt a bit blocked in his chest.
Seeing that he hadn’t touched the juice in front of him, Song Yinyin said, "Mr. President, why aren’t you drinking the juice?"
President Shi Mai’er glanced at the kiwi juice in front of him and forced a smile: "Honestly, I don’t really like kiwi juice, but I am quite thirsty."
Saying this, he picked up the cup and took a sip.
The slightly sour and tangy liquid slipped into his mouth, an unpleasant taste just like his mood at that moment.
"What a coincidence! My Dabai doesn’t like kiwi juice either; actually, he really hates it. What’s your favorite juice flavor?"
"Hmm... Mango, I guess."
Song Yinyin was surprised again, "Really? It’s such a coincidence, my Dabai’s favorite is mango juice too!"
"Is that so?" President Shi Mai’er heard his own mechanical voice, his heart beating faster, his hands tightening around the cup.
Song Yinyin nodded and heard the ringtone coming from the bedroom, so she said,
"I’ll go take a call, please wait a moment." Song Yinyin quickly went into the bedroom.
The screen showed it was a call from Lu Jihan: "Hello, Jihan?"
"We’re just about to go eat, have you finished packing your suitcase?"
"Almost. Oh, by the way, President Shi Mai’er came by earlier, he’s here to see us off."
"Really?" Lu Jihan was slightly surprised, "Then Dabai and I will head back, we should say goodbye to him before we return home."
"Alright, I’ll have him wait for you to come back."
After hanging up, Song Yinyin placed the phone back on the bedside table.
From the moment Song Yinyin went to the bedroom, President Shi Mai’er’s gaze never left her, even when she was inside the bedroom, he kept looking at the door.
Then, he turned his head slightly and saw a small wooden comb in the inner pocket of Song Yinyin’s suitcase.
