Chapter 17 Paternity Test Jiang Shunian hardened his heart and grabbed Nuonuo San…

The old gentleman was dressed in a brownish-red silk Tang suit with a traditional Chinese top, around fifty years old. His hair was neatly combed, and he exuded a dignified and serious aura, resembling a steward of a grand mansion in a period drama that Jiang Shunian once played.

His gaze first swept across Jiang Shunian's face, then settled on Nuonuo, scrutinizing her closely, his eyes growing brighter with each look.

Jiang Shunian was very uneasy and subconsciously tried to turn Nuonuo's face away.

But Nono looked at him curiously, because he couldn't sense any malice in the old man.

“Dad, this grandpa isn’t a bad person.” Nono tried to calm Jiang Shunian, who was almost frightened.

Upon hearing Nuonuo's words, Shen Boheng instantly smiled kindly. He stood up and walked to Jiang Shunian, taking the initiative to shake hands with him: "Mr. Jiang, don't be afraid. There is something I don't understand and would like to ask. I am Shen Boheng, the butler of the Fu family."

Pei Qingyi nodded: "Old Shen has been with the Fu family for many years and is a very trustworthy person."

They had just talked a lot. Shen Boheng had been inquiring about Jiang Shunian, but he was very tactful and did not use the Fu family's power to pressure her.

But it didn't mention why they came.

In wealthy circles, people frequently entertain guests and hold banquets, all of which require a butler to handle. This is why butlers often earn millions a year, as their work is both numerous and meticulous, and not something that ordinary people can do.

Shen Boheng was the best among the housekeepers, working flawlessly like a machine. There were even people who tried to poach him, but Shen Boheng refused them all.

Jiang Shunian felt a little relieved, but he didn't know why such a wealthy family's butler had come to see him.

Shen Boheng gestured to Pei Qingyi, who then patted Jiang Shunian on the shoulder: "I'm in the next office. You can talk to me if you need anything. You two can chat first."

After saying that, he left first.

"Mr. Jiang, please have a seat." Shen Boheng pulled out a chair for Jiang Shunian, but Jiang Shunian quickly stopped him and sat down with Nuonuo in his arms.

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer," Shen Boheng said with a smile. "Although it sounds like I'm having a bout of hysteria, Nuonuo's eyes are very similar to those of my master's family, the Fu family. I'd like to ask which young lady of the Fu family is Nuonuo's mother?"

This is also where Shen Boheng's language is clever, because the Fu family has always had few offspring, and almost all of them are single-lineage heirs. Shen Boheng checked the other eligible Fu family women in other branches, and none of them had any overlap in their lives with Jiang Shunian.

Moreover, the unique feature of their eyes is also unique to the main branch of the Fu family.

Shen Boheng had been filled with doubt and self-doubt these past few days. He watched the clips of Nuonuo more than a dozen times and even came up with a very surprising conjecture: after Jiang Shunian had a night of passion with his young master, he used some kind of high technology to synthesize Nuonuo.

As for Jiang Shunian giving birth to Nuonuo herself, Shen Boheng had also thought about it, but he respected Jiang Shunian and did not investigate, choosing instead to ask directly.

Jiang Shunian's eyes widened in surprise. The Fu family?

Is Nono's other father a member of the Fu family?

Nono sat up straight instantly, her beautiful black and gold eyes shining brightly. "Mommy?"

This is a child's instinctive thought. Although Nono never said it, she had secretly wondered what her mother was like, whether she was pretty, gentle, and whether she would like her.

Jiang Shunian did not tell Nuonuo the truth about her childbirth, after all, his situation was too special and too rare, and he was worried that it would set a bad worldview for Nuonuo. Therefore, Nuonuo never knew that she was born to her father, Jiang Shunian.

Jiang Shunian went to great lengths to educate Nuonuo.

Jiang Shunian hesitated for a moment before answering, "I don't know who he is."

He suddenly remembered that Shi Xu had tried to give him resources... So, which young master of the Fu family did he enter that night?

Hearing Jiang Shunian's answer, Shen Boheng became even more certain.

“Speaking of which, four years ago, our young master Fu Yanli took over the Fu family business. During the power transition, some people were unsettled and plotted against him. Fortunately, someone accidentally entered the room and helped him.” Shen Boheng said tactfully, keeping the children present. “Our young master is an upright and devoted man. For the past four years, he has been searching for this person, wanting to make amends, but he has had no leads until recently when he discovered that it was Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang Shunian was even more surprised. It was just a one-night stand, yet the other party remembered it for four years?

He glanced at his son, who had a bit of OCD, with a strange expression. So, he took after his father, didn't he?

Nono listened very attentively, but the more he listened, the more confused he became. Even with his clever mind, he couldn't understand why they were talking about the young master instead of the mother.

Is that young master Mom?

Jiang Nuonuo was already dizzy.

Although Shen Boheng was talking to Jiang Shunian, his attention was actually focused on Nuonuo. Seeing his adorable reaction, he couldn't help but smile with affection.

Unexpectedly, their thoughts and wishes came true; their young master actually had a child who was like a little fairy.

"Mr. Jiang, I need to confirm this further, so could you give me a few strands of Nuonuo's hair?"

Although Shen Boheng was basically certain that Nuonuo was Fu Yanli's child, he still needed to confirm it one last time, out of the butler's meticulousness.

Jiang Shunian was also a little overwhelmed. Too many things had happened that day. He had met Qin Lang ahead of time, encountered Qin Guanyue, and returned in a daze, only to unexpectedly run into the butler of Nuonuo's other father.

It's already quite remarkable that he's managed to hold on until now.

Jiang Shunian naturally complied with Shen Boheng's request.

Nono's hair is very healthy and she rarely loses hair. Jiang Shunian combed it several times, but not a single hair fell out naturally.

Nono took the initiative and said, "Daddy, please pull it out for me, it doesn't hurt!"

Jiang Shunian hardened her heart, plucked three of his short hairs, and felt extremely sorry for him.

Nono remained silent, showing remarkable resilience.

Shen Boheng carefully took the hair, put it into a pre-prepared sealed bag, stood up and smiled, "There's no time to lose, I'll send it for testing today. It will take about two days, and I'll notify Mr. Jiang as soon as the results are available."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Jiang Shunian breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged contact information with Shen Boheng.

"I am deeply sorry for disturbing you by coming to your door today. I have prepared some small gifts, which will be delivered to Mr. Jiang's residence later. Please accept them."

Jiang Shunian quickly refused, but Shen Boheng said, "They're all for Nuonuo, and if things go as planned, Nuonuo will have many more people to love her. Of course, I also hope to serve Mr. Jiang in the future."

Perhaps it was because Shen Boheng's tone was too kind and gentle, too much like an elder, that Jiang Shunian, who had struggled to survive since childhood, felt his eyes well up with tears, but he held them back.

Shen Boheng noticed Jiang Shunian's mood and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Jiang, you've worked hard these past few years. From now on, you'll have a lot of good fortune."

Jiang Shunian held Nuonuo and taught her to say, "Say goodbye to Grandpa Chen."

Nuonuo was very obedient and waved her little hand, saying, "Goodbye, Grandpa Chen."

This melted Shen Boheng's heart once again.

After Shen Boheng left, Jiang Shunian asked his assistant Li Hehe to look after Nuonuo for a while, and then went to Pei Qingyi's office alone.

"Have you finished talking?" Pei Qingyi didn't inquire about the content of their conversation.

Jiang Shunian nodded and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, President Pei, I delayed the filming today and caused you losses. What can I do to compensate you? I'll cooperate with anything."

He knew he shouldn't delay the filming schedule. He didn't have the right or the confidence to be willful. Besides, Chen Hesheng and the others had coordinated their schedules to cooperate with the filming. He didn't know how to make up for the delay he caused today.

However, Jiang Shunian's hatred for Qin Lang runs too deep, and with Qin Guanyue also present, even if he were to force himself to film, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve a very good result.

Jiang Shunian's face darkened, and he lowered his eyes to accept whatever arrangements Pei Qingyi made.

He hoped that Nuonuo was indeed Fu Yanli's child. He seemed to be from a wealthy family and had a butler, so he should be able to protect Nuonuo, right?

The Qin family's development is not as prosperous as it will be in a dozen years. Can the Fu family have the power to counter it?

He asked for nothing more than for Nono's safety.

Pei Qingyi said, "Shu Nian, things aren't that bad. Missing a filming episode is normal; you just need to find a reason to cover it up. I've already spoken with the production team, and this episode will be considered a missed filming episode, though your pay will be deducted. But we need to talk about the future. You signed a contract for six episodes, and there are two more left. If Qin Lang continues to join the production team, are you going to keep missing episodes?"

This is what Jiang Shunian is afraid of.

According to the book, Qin Lang is a madman who will not give up until he gets what he wants. He also has the Qin family backing him up. If he insists on harassing Nuonuo, how can she resist?

Jiang Shunian thought of Shen Boheng who had just left, raised his eyes, and pleaded, "President Pei, could you wait for me for two days? I will give you an answer after two days."

Pei Qingyi was very clever and immediately realized it was because of Shen Boheng. He was a little curious, but he restrained himself and nodded: "Okay, then I'll give you two days."

After leaving, Shen Boheng drove directly to the DNA testing center he had booked.

Since he had decided to conduct the test, he naturally collected hair samples from young master Fu Yanli beforehand.

Thanks to his position as a butler, he also had access to Fu Yanli's downtown residence, in addition to the manor. Moreover, he was in charge of arranging the cleaning staff there, so obtaining the hair was easy.

However, the young master's hair was of very good quality, and it took him three days to receive it.

He was delayed because of Fu Yanli's hair.

Luckily, I made it in time.

After handing over all the test samples to the staff, Shen Boheng left with a relaxed air.

God help me, I hope Nuonuo is the young master's child, so that the madam will no longer have to worry about this matter.

Exhausted, Jiang Shunian took Nuonuo home. The things Shen Boheng had arranged to deliver were already placed at the door. They were all things suitable for Nuonuo, including clothes, milk powder, daily necessities, and even learning materials for Nuonuo!

Nuonuo was happy to hold her study materials, but she also considered her father's feelings first: "Dad, are you feeling any better now?"

Jiang Shunian held Nuonuo's sweet, milky body and nodded: "Much better."

It must be said that Shen Boheng's arrival rekindled some hope for Jiang Shunian.

For the next two days, Jiang Shunian did not go out. It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Shen Boheng called.
