Chapter 369 The appraisal results are out
late at night.
Dark clouds obscured the moon, plunging the world into darkness.
There is no nightlife on Broken Soul Island; most people go to bed early.
Summer is no exception.
However, she locked herself in her room and didn't sleep. Instead, she looked at the pills in her hand under the dim light.
That was the antidote to severing all ties of love and affection, yet she was still hesitant.
His brows and eyes were full of turmoil.
But in the end, she put the medicine away.
She hasn't even recovered her feelings for Qin Yeting yet, but she already cares about him so much.
If she recovers, won't she be obsessed with that man and be led by the nose by him?
She felt she had really made a mistake.
Being love-struck is something you absolutely must not do.
To prevent herself from hesitating again, Xia Yue locked the medicine in a drawer in her room and added an extra lock.
Only after she finished doing all this did she feel at ease enough to go to sleep.
Over the next few days, Xia Yue adapted to her new life and prepared to take revenge on Drug, while waiting for the DNA paternity test results of Qin Yeting and Qin Xingyu.
Of course, she also set up a new small research lab to explore the various properties of the KN element.
Qin Yeting had a lot of KN ore on hand, which would be convenient for her to practice with.
In order to spend more time with Xia Yue, Qin Yeting often found excuses to be with her.
Whether it's eating, resting, or discussing business.
But Qin Xingyu is a clingy little guy.
Qin Yeting had no choice but to take him with him.
As time went on, Xia Yue was forced to have more contact with Xiao Xingyu.
At first, she didn't like the baby who cried all the time.
But after holding him a few times, she gradually got used to the little guy and even helped with feeding and changing diapers.
Sometimes, when Xiao Xingyu vomits after eating too much, she worries and even carefully uses acupuncture to treat him.
After spending more time together, when Shen Xiangxiang came over to chat with her, she saw her "virtuous wife and loving mother" side and couldn't help but exclaim, "This guy is just like your own son! His eyebrows and eyes are like Qin Yeting's, but his mouth looks just like yours!"
After she finished speaking, Shen Xiangxiang realized that she might have said something inappropriate.
Yueyue had just lost her own child, and saying these words was simply bringing up her painful memories.
Xia Yue is much calmer now.
She countered, "Really? You think Xiaoxingyu looks like me? Sometimes I feel that way too, but I thought it was just my imagination."
"Haha, maybe the little guy just clicks with you!" Shen Xiangxiang could only offer a forced explanation.
She then quickly changed the subject, "I talked to my brother a few more times and finally convinced him. Fine, if he wants to stay, let him stay. I can't control him. I can only ask Shang Zexi to send more people to protect him."
“As long as he doesn’t run around and stays on Qin Yeting’s territory, he should be safe,” Xia Yue analyzed loudly.
Shen Xiangxiang took a deep breath and said helplessly, "This is just a delaying tactic. My brother can't stay here forever."
"Let nature take its course," Xia Yue patted Shen Xiangxiang on the shoulder.
Shen Xiangxiang changed the subject again, "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. You've been back for so long, and you've accepted Xiao Xingyu, so why are you and Qin Yeting still so awkward with each other?"
"awkward?"
"Hmm, I have a feeling I can't quite put my finger on, but they don't really look like a couple." Shen Xiangxiang, having spent so much time with Shang Zexi, has become increasingly down-to-earth in her speech.
Xia Yue felt a complicated feeling upon hearing the term "couple".
She could only vaguely explain, "Right now, all I want is revenge; I haven't thought about anything else."
"Tsk, so you're stringing Qin Yeting along? Let me tell you, men can't withstand tests; there are too many temptations out there."
Take Shang Zexi for example. He was locked up in a drug jail for a while last time. When he came back, he mentioned the woman next door to him twice, praising her for her good figure.
Damn it, while I'm out there racking my brains trying to save him, he's inside living the high life, indulging in all sorts of pleasures.
I've argued with him several times in private.
And that island lord, Gong Feng, sends people over every few days with gifts, the kind you can't refuse. I feel like things are going to go wrong sooner or later.”
Shen Xiangxiang's original intention was to let Xia Yue and Qin Yeting get closer.
To Xia Yue, this sounded like evidence that men were unreliable and only she could be trusted.
Fortunately, she regained consciousness and did not take the antidote to "sever all feelings and love".
Otherwise, she would definitely be just as conflicted as Shen Xiangxiang right now.
"Let Qin Yeting do whatever he wants. His legs are on his body, I can't hold them back. Besides, the matter of the illegitimate child hasn't been resolved yet." Xia Yue remained indifferent.
All of these words were heard by Qin Yeting, who was standing outside the door.
Qin Yeting clenched his fists in anger, his expression one of utter helplessness!
How could his little Yue'er think of him like that!
He's not a vulgar person like Shang Zexi!
"Weren't the DNA test results supposed to be out today? Why haven't they been brought over yet?" Qin Yeting angrily questioned his assistant, Zhou, beside him.
There was no communication equipment on the island, and Assistant Zhou was unaware of the situation there.
He could only respond immediately, "I'll go and investigate myself right away."
"Go quickly and come back quickly," Qin Yeting urged impatiently.
After that, he waited for a long time until Shen Xiangxiang and Xia Yue finished talking, and then he pretended to go in naturally.
"Xingyu needs his milk. I'll feed him. You can rest for a bit." Qin Yeting found a perfect excuse.
Shen Xiangxiang wisely left.
Xia Yue, because of what she had just talked about with Shen Xiangxiang, began to re-evaluate the distance between herself and Qin Yeting.
