Chapter 35 The biological father, Wang Piao, has gone astray, and Dad Wang slaps himself (Third update...)
35
Ning Ye had no time to care about the Bian family or the plot. She sat in the back seat of the car, looking down and touching her child's feverish forehead, her face filled with anxiety.
The child's face and neck were unnaturally red and swollen, but his complexion was pale and cold. His small lips and nose were surrounded by a large red ring, and he was frowning uncomfortably.
Tao Tao is allergic to this flower, but her parents had no idea.
She wanted to call for an ambulance while running outside, but she calmly held her down.
This is the old Bian family residence, which cannot be found on the map at all. It is located deep in a hutong (alleyway), making it difficult for ambulances to drive in or back out.
Right now, driving to the hospital is the fastest option for him.
The Maybach sped through the night. Ning Ye laid Tao Tao flat on the back seat and gently patted her shoulder.
The man in the driver's seat had a tense expression on his face, his hands on the steering wheel, and he kept pressing the accelerator.
At this moment, they are just like two ordinary parents taking their child to the emergency room in the middle of the night.
Ning Ye covered Tao Tao's face, staring at the red light outside the windshield, feeling anxious. She asked Bian Xun, "Were you having a severe allergic reaction?"
She herself has no allergies; it's a gene from the child's father's side, and she has no experience dealing with them.
"Hmm." The man's voice was slightly tense.
After a few seconds, he tried his best to answer in a calm and rational tone.
"I was too young when I had an allergic reaction, and I only have a vague memory of it. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital. I haven't seen Tie Haitang since, so I've forgotten about it."
The red light had just turned red when the Maybach came to a complete stop, and Bian Xun closed his eyes briefly.
"It was my oversight, I'm sorry."
Ning Ye knew that it wasn't Bian Xun's fault, after all, he was also experiencing allergic symptoms, with his pale skin showing obvious redness and heat, yet he managed to remain rational.
There was nothing unusual about him from his voice and profile.
Only the steering wheel knows that the fingertips of its owner are still cold.
so.
Is Ning Zhitao his child?
It's his and Ning Ye's child.
Although Bian Xun has not yet seen the paternity test report and has not made a definitive conclusion on paper, how could such rare allergy characteristics be so consistent if there is no kinship?
He lowered the rear window by an inch to let the night breeze in, maintaining air circulation inside the car and preventing the child from having difficulty breathing.
While doing these things, his brain was still able to calmly direct everything, but his muscles were still tense and spasming, and his carotid artery was throbbing from time to time, which was a sign of an excessively fast heart rate.
It's likely that Tie Haitang's allergic symptoms were also affecting him.
I felt an itchy, burning sensation from my forehead to my chest.
All his allergy symptoms mirrored his current mood.
Bian Xun is also very worried about the child's current situation.
But throughout the entire process, he didn't even dare to look back at the mother and daughter.
They sped all the way to the hospital as fast as they could.
On the way, Xun had already made a phone call and arranged for a doctor.
As it turns out, efficiency is the most crucial factor in such situations. The child was too young and it was his first time being exposed to this allergen. Within just ten minutes, his eyelids were already swollen, and his little face looked like he had been stung by a bee, making him look extremely pitiful.
The doctor quickly performed the examination and instructed the nurses to prepare.
Ning Ye watched nervously as the child was wheeled out, then bowed solemnly to the doctor, saying, "Please take care of me."
The doctor quickly helped her up, not daring to accept such a bow, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. Fortunately, the child got away from the allergen in time. At present, it seems that it is just a circulatory obstruction causing angioedema, but no serious respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms have been observed."
Ning Ye nodded in agreement. Although Old Master Bian's behavior was speechless, if he hadn't discovered Tie Haitang immediately and had her moved out, Ning Zhitao's allergy would have been much more severe in that relatively enclosed and crowded ancestral hall.
"So please rest assured, the child is not in any urgent condition. Please wait a moment with Mr. Bian."
The limp little boy was taken into the medical room, while Bian Xun and Ning Ye stayed outside.
After rushing all the way, my heart finally calmed down a little.
Ning Ye slowly sat down on the bench outside the medical room, thinking that Bian Xun, who was a germaphobe, wouldn't sit down. Unexpectedly, he also took a deep breath and slowly sat down.
A nurse came over with allergy medication and medical cold dressings. "Mr. Bian, please take care of this as well."
After adulthood, my immune system is much stronger against allergies, so Bianxun's condition is not serious now; she just has slightly shortness of breath.
Ning Ye turned to look at him. The hospital lights were bright, and she could see that his eyes and neck were red, but he didn't seem to care about himself.
Sensing the concern in her gaze, Bian Xun paused slightly.
I still didn't dare look at her.
I don't know why.
It's as if if I turn my head now, I'll see the entire future.
Anxiety and excitement were like two unhealthy emotions, simultaneously occupying both halves of his heart.
But whether it's an anxious department or an excited one.
They're all his.
It's certain that they all belong to him.
The man's deep, turbulent black eyes closed, and under the hospital's fluorescent lights, he tilted his head back, the red marks from his allergies seeming to reflect his current emotions.
Ning Ye thought he was simply worried about the situation, so she comforted him, "It's okay, the doctor said it's not serious, you'll be able to go in soon."
After a long pause, the man finally responded.
"Um."
Bian Xun finally slowly raised his dark eyes and met Ning Ye's gaze.
Ning Ye then noticed that his emotions were fluctuating greatly and was somewhat puzzled. Bian Xun's attitude seemed to have subtly changed. Could it be that he had gained new insights into being a father?
Bian Xun's gaze was fixed on her.
Although it's unbelievable, the child is his. That means she is his too.
Six years later, she still chose him.
Bian Xun didn't know what to say at that moment, but something was churning wildly inside him.
He felt he had obtained some kind of pass.
A kind of control.
A right to reasonably care about, approach, and demand.
A sense of order revived within his cold, desolate body.
He wants to build a park on the ruins and put it back into operation.
The door to the medical room opened, and the doctor nodded to the parents outside, his eyes reassuring.
Ning Ye suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the child was alright, and finally relaxed.
Bian Xun also slowly got up.
"Give her another full checkup."
"Yes, Mr. Bian." The medical staff replied.
Bian Xun slowly moved his shoulder and neck muscles.
Once the anxiety and fear have subsided, a surge of excitement begins to dominate the brain.
There's no need to look at the paper paternity test report anymore; the answer is already clear.
His struggles, both before and after, will remain buried deep within his heart, unknown to anyone.
Ning Ye then remembered that she still had Jiang Xing and this medical connection. Today, they had come to a nearby general tertiary hospital. Ning Ye edited the message and wanted to ask him how children's hospitals usually handle allergies in children.
Before I could finish editing the message, the screen was turned off.
He snatched her phone, put it back in her pocket, and his fingertips traced a clear line across her waist, his gesture carrying an unspoken meaning.
What is his current status?
What is the identity of the person outside?
“There are also child specialists here,” Bian Xun said casually.
Ning Ye thought for a moment and decided it wasn't appropriate to disturb them so late, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Bian Xun raised his slender fingers, slowly unwrapped the medical dressing, and placed it on the side of his neck. He looked down at Ning Ye and smiled after a long while.
"Happy birthday."
After a night of fussing, her new year has arrived.
His new life is also like that.
…
In the hospital ward.
Ning Zhitao has taken medication and is now asleep while wearing a ventilator.
He appears to be breathing evenly and steadily, and there seems to be no major problem.
The redness and swelling on her eyelids and face were slowly subsiding, and her wrinkled face was gradually smoothing out. Ning Ye's heart also relaxed.
"Doctor, when will she wake up?"
"About half an hour more." The doctor checked his watch.
Ning Ye nodded, sat on the small sofa next to the hospital bed, and wiped the child's hands and face.
Ning Zhitao woke up in less than half an hour.
"Mother?"
Although the swelling on her face had subsided considerably, the child's beautiful double eyelids had been stretched into single eyelids, and her two dark, grape-like eyes looked as if she had been crying. She had some difficulty clenching her small fists, which appeared even rounder due to the slight swelling. She sat blankly on the hospital bed, looking both comical and pitiful.
Ning Zhitao looked left and right. Although the environment was unfamiliar, her parents were there, so she felt at ease.
After a while, Ning Zhitao understood the situation.
Did Grandpa just make her faint?
She was indeed very angry, but to this extent?
Grandpa is really, really bad.
Ning Zhitao crossed her arms, looking like a small, angry steamed bun.
Ning Ye touched her forehead with the back of her finger; her temperature had gone down by now. "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Ning Zhitao shook her head. "No more."
Let's not be so angry anymore, after all, Mom and Dad seem very worried.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the digital watch hanging on the wall out of the corner of her eye.
The current time is a fraction of a second!
What about midnight?
She'd been waiting for midnight for over a month!
She wanted to be the first to wish her mother a happy birthday!
Ning Zhitao's emotions, which had just calmed down, collapsed again, and she tilted her head back and cried out in sorrow: "Waaaaah!"
I missed it because I was angry!
She hates her grandfather!
Ning Ye quickly stood up: "Where does it hurt, Tao Tao?"
Ning Zhitao rubbed her eyes and shook her head, asking her cautiously, afraid of getting a negative answer.
"Mom, am I the first person to wish you a happy birthday?"
Ning Ye was taken aback, then glanced at the man sitting quietly with his arms crossed, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
"Today has just begun, and no one has wished me a happy new day yet."
Bian Xun: ? Then I am.
Ning Zhitao was immediately pleased; thankfully, the adults were all idiots.
Ning Zhitao rolled over and sat up in bed, searching everywhere for her little schoolbag. "Dad, where's my schoolbag?"
"Dad, did you get it for me?"
"Dad! Can you help me look for it?"
As she listened to the repeated calls of "Dad," she slowly stood up.
His allergy symptoms had completely subsided, and the man, tall and slender, stood up looking refreshed.
He is his biological father.
How come I didn't notice this before?
Bian Xun stood up and looked around with some regret. Their ward was private, so there were no other patients or their families.
Otherwise, at least a room full of people would envy him.
This is his child.
And the mother of his child.
So, Ning Ye is his...
Bian Xun looked refreshed and gave her a deep look before turning back to the car with his hands behind his back and retrieving the children's backpack.
"?" Ning Ye didn't know what he was so happy about, but she felt that the child's father's state had changed after they came out of the ancestral hall.
The child was completely unaware, having forgotten all the discomfort from the allergic reaction. He covered his mouth with his bright red fingers, trying his best to suppress any giggles.
Teacher Yuzu said that her mother would be extremely surprised when she saw her gift!
I will be extremely happy!
Ning Ye felt she was carrying all of a child's expectations, so she acted as if she was completely unaware. Seeing the bulging backpack, she asked in confusion, "Why are you carrying a backpack? Does Tao Tao still have homework to do?"
These words perfectly capture a child's desire to create a surprise!
Mom didn't notice at all; she thought she was doing her homework!
Wahaha!
Ning Ye also tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth.
Ning Zhitao's face stopped itching, and her anger subsided. Suppressing her excitement, she hugged her schoolbag and looked up at her, asking her a question.
"Mom, haven't you received a birthday present yet either?"
In the child's worldview, the whole world should give her mother a gift today, so she rushed to do so, afraid that she wouldn't be the first.
Ning Ye felt as if she were being lifted up by a pair of soft little hands, her eyes softening. Although her birthday celebration was being held in a hospital room, Ning Ye didn't mind at all.
She won't tell her little friend that it's more than just the first gift of the day.
You are the first one in many years.
You yourself are a gift.
Ning Ye's almond-shaped eyes were like water as she nodded, "Yes, I haven't received it yet."
Bian Xun watched from the side, his expression indifferent, but the corners of his lips had inexplicably curled up.
Then he'll have to settle for second place.
Ning Zhitao cheered and unzipped her backpack to show it to her.
"Mom, this is a gift for you!"
It was a transparent acrylic box that covered the back of the painting. You had to open it to see the inside of the painting, but a faint shimmering light could be seen coming from inside the box.
Even before seeing the contents, Ning Ye's eyes lit up, "Wow—!"
This feeling of surprise didn't need to be acted out; her heart was already filled with joyful sweetness in the face of the gift that the child had prepared so thoughtfully for her.
Ning Zhitao stared intently at her mother's expression. Seeing her happy and excited smile, she herself was so excited that she wanted to roll around on the hospital bed.
The kids didn't care about the location anymore.
"Mommy, Mommy, open it quickly!"
Ning Ye carefully opened the lid of the acrylic box and carefully pulled out the front of the painting. Before she could even see what it contained, she was blinded by its brilliance.
So sparkly, it's absolutely dazzling!
A necklace studded with diamonds was pasted on the drawing paper. When the light from above shone on it, it reflected a dazzling array of colors, sparkling like stars.
Upon closer inspection, Ning Ye discovered that each main diamond was positioned at a specific point on the image, and that point was a hand-drawn figure. Ning Ye immediately recognized it as herself, dressed in her usual work attire and carrying a laptop bag.
Under the next diamond is a crayon figure of her wearing matching pajamas with her mother.
The next one is of her wearing a hat and scarf, riding a bicycle, and Ning Ye wearing clothes she has never seen before; perhaps it's a glimpse into the future.
Each little figure has a diamond "worn" around its neck and on its hand, and when they are connected, the necklace outlines a heart.
It says "I love you~" below.
Ning Ye stared at the artwork, her eyes reflecting a luminous light.
The child's clumsy handwriting and the figures she drew were not exquisite, but each little figure was her observation of her mother, seen from the child's perspective and through the eyes of a child.
"Mom, do you like it?"
"I really like it."
Ning Ye reached out and hugged the child, kissing her on the top of her head. Her voice disappeared into the soft, black hair, as did the glint in her eyes. Bian Xun watched quietly from the side, her lips moving slightly.
Thank you, my little friend.
She celebrated her first birthday with her family of three in the hospital.
And here, he welcomed a family of three.
…
Of course, the child definitely didn't buy this necklace himself.
Therefore, Ning Ye was also very grateful to Bian Xun.
"It's just too expensive." Ning Ye looked at the other person somewhat embarrassed.
The CEO's dark eyes, filled with countless thoughts, idly fell on her porcelain-white collarbone, and he mentally sketched the image of the full diamond necklace draped over it.
It really suits you perfectly, and it looks beautiful.
His status is different now. Giving him a necklace is perfectly legitimate.
The president slowly straightened his back, his posture upright, noble and aloof.
"How much is the necklace? I'll pay the lion's share," Ning Ye decided.
The subtle, almost imperceptible pleasure that had been lingering all night suddenly came to an abrupt end.
Ning Ye also knew that this necklace would be very expensive.
This is the child's heartfelt gift, and she certainly can't return it.
But even though Bian Xun and she are father and mother, he shouldn't have given her such an expensive gift that wasn't intended for raising a child.
This necklace is entirely for her; it's a decorative item, which makes it a bit too much to handle and not quite appropriate.
The excitement in Bian Xun's eyes faded slightly, and he looked at her coldly with his dark eyes.
The granularity between them is not yet aligned.
Since he is the child's biological father, it is only natural for him to give her anything.
Does she still think they've broken up?
Is there anyone who can raise a child together after breaking up?
Besides, who would dare let her spend money?
hehe.
Bian Xun slightly parted his lips, but from several angles, the words that were about to come out sounded like a confession.
The almond-shaped eyes before him clearly showed no affection for him, only responsibility and love for their child.
…It's not the right time yet.
Bian Xun's jaw tightened for a moment, then she took back her self-humiliating words and said calmly, "This is a gift from the child. If you want to pay, pay her."
The CEO straightened his cuffs with an air of aloofness.
As for his gift, she hasn't received it yet.
...
Since the child is at the hospital because of allergies, we decided to do a comprehensive allergy test tonight so we can be more careful in the future and avoid this happening again.
"What about your family back home..." Ning Ye asked while waiting for the results.
"Never mind," Bian Xun said with a cold laugh.
The old man certainly didn't expect this outcome.
Of course, he didn't expect that either.
That's true, Ning Ye thought. Anyway, she wouldn't take the child to the Bian family again, and the Bian family didn't welcome them.
same day.
The Bian family's traditional ancestral worship ceremony ended with Old Master Bian being hospitalized due to a severe blow.
In the hospital's VIP ward, this distinguished old gentleman was on a ventilator, barely breathing, with various instruments monitoring his condition.
"It's nothing serious, just that my emotions were too volatile. I hadn't rested well for several days, and the sudden surge of joy followed by shock took a toll on my body..."
The butler whispered to the person on the other end of the phone, "Miss Lan Yi, tell Mr. Xu not to worry too much. The old man is fine and just needs some rest."
Xu Lanyi's voice flowed elegantly like a cello, still tinged with worry, "I'll go see Grandpa Bian tomorrow. How did it turn into this on such a proper ancestral worship day?"
She has heard the whole story.
Ning Ye's daughter actually angered Grandpa Bian so much that he ended up in the hospital.
This was far more barbaric than she had imagined.
From the butler's description of the scene, Xu Lanyi could fully imagine the scene: the Bian family's ancestral hall was solemn and majestic, worshipping many glorious ancestors, while the little girl was disrespectful to her elders, spouting nonsense, and finally even angering the old man Bian to the point of falling to the ground.
I heard he fell after looking at the paternity test report and was then taken to the hospital.
Xu Lanyi hung up the phone, which was to be expected.
Of course, it was a shock and anger—such an ill-mannered child, searching for his own flesh and blood?!
Xu Lanyi was born into a prominent family like Bian Xun's, so she knew very well how important the ancestral worship day was to someone like Old Master Bian.
Now, the entire Bian family knows about Bian Xun's illegitimate daughter. The girl's rudeness and lack of manners have been completely exposed to everyone, and Bian Xun must have experienced it firsthand.
And her time was ripe. After all, even if Old Master Bian would keep this biological child, he wouldn't keep her mother, especially her mother with a bad reputation.
The assistant hesitated and said, "But we still haven't found out which hospital Ms. Ning gave birth to, we haven't been able to find her exact pregnancy time on the entire internet, and there are no images to prove it."
Xu Lanyi smiled slightly, "Can't find photos from during pregnancy? Can't we just create a composite?"
...
Meanwhile, the old housekeeper outside the ward also put down his phone.
He shook his head in agreement. Wasn't the old man overcome with shock and anger?
Even if you'd read the report first before saying those things! Regret now?!
The old housekeeper pushed open the door to the ward, and Old Master Bian reached out his hand tremblingly, "W-how is he..."
The butler quickly helped him up, "You're fine, you just need to rest. The doctor prescribed some calming physical therapy..."
“I’m asking,” Old Master Bian weakly tugged at him, “how is the child?”
When the little girl fainted due to an allergic reaction to the iron crabapple, it suddenly reminded him of Bian Xun's childhood.
Back then, he was a delicate little boy. When he first had an allergic reaction, they had no idea what was going on and thought he was choking. This caused a delay of half a day, and Xiao Bianxun was already breathing rapidly, suffocating violently, and almost died there.
That terrifying memory has been rekindled today.
The butler thought to himself, "You're finally showing concern now." "It's nothing serious. We came to the hospital in time. It's not as serious as it was when the young master was a child."
Grandpa Bian finally felt relieved and leaned back slightly, saying, "Hmm."
The steward could tell from his expression that the old man was still putting on airs. He'd spoken so resolutely in the ancestral hall; who knew what he'd be like in the future?
After pretending to lie there for a while, Old Master Bian ordered, "Bring me the appraisal report again so I can take a look..."
The butler presented it to him.
Even after reading it a hundred times, it's still 99.99%, it's written in black and white, it's a done deal.
Old Master Bian closed his eyes and waved the butler away.
The old butler understood and withdrew to let him have some peace and quiet.
In the hospital room, the old man looked at the paternity test results repeatedly, almost bursting into tears.
I thought Bian Xun, this unfilial son, would die alone.
He's so old, and he actually has a great-granddaughter!
Her eldest grandson's own daughter!!!
He did not do something right today, but children don't hold grudges. Besides, the child didn't know him before and even called him grandpa.
There's no sadness if you don't have expectations. You can definitely make it up to them later. It's almost the end of the year, and their family will be giving out New Year's gifts. The child might even forget about it when they get a big red envelope...
After pondering for a while, Old Master Bian quietly wiped his face, then suddenly remembered something and his old eyes widened.
I haven't even looked at the paternity test report yet.
So he knew, right?
Did he know from the beginning that this was his own daughter?
Then why pretend you're raising someone else's child?!
Pretending to be sentimental there?
This unfilial brat, how could he lie to his grandfather like that!
…
The next day, when Bian Xun was giving Ning Ye the property deed, he received the same glare.
He slowly handed his birthday gift to Ning Ye.
—The big red certificate of real estate registration.
The president was arrogant, his expression was calm, but his actions were extraordinary.
He plans to transfer the house to Xia Lu.
It's a bit small, but it's the first house the mother and daughter have ever lived in together, so it's very meaningful.
It also holds extraordinary significance for him.
After all, the president purchased it for 8.5 million plus the price of the house itself.
—Unforgettable.
Ning Ye stared at the man in front of her.
It's no illusion; he really has changed since we came back from the ancestral hall yesterday.
Where exactly is it?
Just like now, he didn't stand politely outside the threshold, but instead bowed his head and entered the room in a grand manner.
They entered their home in the Xialu residential area.
The entryway was narrow, and as he turned slightly, his presence almost filled the entire space. He lowered his head slightly, trapping Ning Ye between his chest and the entryway cabinet, making her feel confined.
Bian Xun lowered his eyes and saw her eyelashes flutter slightly, and a secret sense of pleasure began to grow in his heart again.
What should she call him now?
Bian Xun strolled leisurely into the house, his gaze sweeping over it. This apartment, with a monthly rent of 8.5 million, was a very small two-bedroom unit, with an internal area of no more than fifty square meters, which meant—
The president once paid 17,000 yuan a month for each floor tile he stepped on.
hehe.
The child is listening to an extracurricular lesson in the room, waiting for the family of three to go out for a birthday dinner after the lesson is over.
The house was very clean, and the children's picture books scattered on the sofa did not look cluttered, but rather very cozy.
But it's more than just cozy.
A clothes rack sat on the bay window, and a woman's pale green bra swayed in the breeze, suddenly reminding him of that night in the hotel, the pale green hem of her pale white thighs.
I wonder what it would look like to wear the whole outfit.
The president silently raised his hand, pinched the end of his eyebrow, and sat down on the sofa with an air of authority.
This is their mundane life, and this life should include him.
So far, he hasn't really put his skills to the test in being a father.
He leaned back on the sofa, the faint scent of clothes wafting in from the window, and his thoughts drifted away.
Ning Ye poured him a cup of tea, and Bian Xun glanced down at it.
Ning Ye knew he was a germaphobe and wouldn't use teaware that others had used, so she explained, "This cup is new."
Bian Xun looked at the other two cups on the coffee table. One cup had a small grape on its lid, and the other had a leaf on its lid. They looked like a set, with a cute design.
Ning Ye gave him a guest cup, a very ordinary patterned glass.
Bian Xun slightly raised his dark eyes, "What about mine?"
Ning Ye: "? What do you mean, 'your'?"
Bian Xun pointed to the cups belonging to the mother and daughter, and said matter-of-factly, "Shouldn't there be one for me too?"
For dads only.
Ning Ye was stunned.
She felt that there seemed to be a lack of communication between them, but she really couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
But ever since Bian Xun learned about Tao Tao's situation, he has been actively fulfilling his responsibilities as a father.
After all, who would willingly do all this if they weren't the child's father?
Therefore, Ning Ye never doubted this point.
But right now, my status hasn't changed at all?
Bian Xun glanced around the room, straightened his tie, and then looked down at his guest slippers. "And these."
"……OK."
Since they brought gifts and visited in person, even if Ning Ye couldn't accept the house, she wouldn't refuse this small request.
She nodded. "I'll buy it for you next time."
“No need,” Bian Xun suddenly became alert. “Send the link to my assistant, I’ll buy it myself.”
"Huh?" Ning Ye felt that the other party was crazy, but since the topic had come up, they could have an open and frank discussion about the child's future upbringing.
Regardless of how much money or effort they contributed, they worked together with one goal in mind: for the grapes to grow strong and healthy.
Thinking of this, Ning Ye became more serious, got up to wash the fruit, and they chatted slowly and in detail.
Bian Xun curled his lips into a smile.
He belongs to this family.
This unwavering conviction brought him a dark, secret pleasure.
Ning Ye turned on her computer and placed it on the coffee table; the webpage was the same one they had viewed that day.
Today is a good day to verify whether this album updates with the date and provides more photos.
Bian Xun casually clicked refresh.
This time, there was no need to pay again. Bian Xun smiled coldly, thinking that at least it still had some principles.
The album loaded, and sure enough, there were a few more photos this time.
Bian Xun was in a good mood, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The child's appearance can only be explained by quantum mechanics, but these photos may be a parallel message.
One of the photos, even from the small image, clearly shows a birthday cake.
really.
His guess was proven correct.
Further down, there's another picture of Ning Ye's back, wearing a birthday hat.
Bian Xun scrolled down with great interest, and the next picture was suddenly an old photo. It was a printed photo, with the specific year and date marked in the lower right corner, probably about four years ago, and the photo in the album was taken when that old photo was taken.
The photo shows Ning Ye supporting her pregnant belly.
Standing in front of an unknown maternity hospital.
?
The photo was very blurry, but Bian Xun didn't have time to look at it closely at that moment. His boundless smugness came to an abrupt end, and his posture suddenly changed.
etc.
Didn't the child appear out of thin air through quantum mechanics?
If the child was born four years ago, is he still the child's father?
Bian Xun remained relatively calm at this moment. After all, he had already decided in his heart that the child had suddenly appeared. Ning Ye had only recently become a mother, which explained how she had managed to get through the previous few years of working so smoothly.
However, the next photo was a close-up of her with a large belly, and there was a man not far away, but it wasn't him.
This one is just too impactful.
Bian Xun suddenly stood up.
It's not that he can't accept that the child is someone else's.
But he cannot lose what he has gained.
From stepfather to biological father and back to stepfather again.
He went from being her soon-to-be husband to being just another candidate.
The huge drop was like a cliff, and the intense sense of loss easily robbed all pleasant nerves.
Bian Xun took a deep breath, suddenly pulled out his phone, and calmly began to call Grandpa Bian.
A look at the paternity test report will bring everything to light.
Bian Xun began pacing in the living room, but when he called, the other party did not answer.
"Master, the young master is calling you." The butler picked up the phone.
"I won't answer! Let him pretend to be all lovey-dovey," Old Master Bian retorted angrily.
Bian Xun frantically made three phone calls, but they all went unanswered, just like his current mood.
He began to recall what the old man's expression was like last night before he took Ning Zhitao away.
But I was in such a hurry to get my child to the hospital that I didn't pay any attention.
Bian Xun then started calling the housekeeper.
"Master, the young master hit me again."
"He already knew anyway, so why would he call now to show off his happiness with his daughter? I'm not answering!"
After making a flurry of phone calls with no one answering, cold sweat trickled down Bianxun's forehead.
Could it be that the result was actually not the case?
Just then, the door to the children's bedroom opened, and Ning Zhitao poked her head out, "Dad?"
At that moment, the president turned his head with an almost tragic air.
He realized that, regardless of the outcome, he would treat the child as his own.
Bian Xun suddenly closed his eyes. At this moment, he even thought of imitating the ancients by dripping blood to recognize relatives, but he couldn't bear to prick the child, and he couldn't convince himself scientifically.
Where exactly is the result?
He stood on the edge of a cliff with a huge drop, contemplating how to survive. When he opened his eyes again, Ning Ye calmly handed him two reports.
One is for her and her child.
One is for Bian Xun and the child.
She had already completed the testing.
Ning Ye's soft almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear, and she unknowingly handed the answer to salvation to Bian Xun.
"Yes, you guessed right. Tao Tao came from five years in the future. She is our biological daughter."
He shuddered as he searched.

Ning Ye spoke earnestly for a long time, but the other party remained silent.
She finally raised her head and met a pair of lifeless yet burning black eyes.

The president stood firmly in place, and after a long while, he spoke, his throat parched.
"Yes, still alive."
