This cleared up the misunderstanding in the Shen family's case, but Chu Yunxing's misunderstanding did not disappear.
He arrived at the studio looking displeased, only to find that Song Mai was not there.
“Mai Zi went to the Shen family.” Lin Ran noticed his strange expression and asked cautiously, “Do you need to see her?”
"It's nothing, I just came to take a look." Chu Yunxing forced a smile.
Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully and quickly called Song Mai.
At that moment, Song Mai was having a pleasant chat with the Shen family and didn't notice the incoming call on her phone.
Chu Yunxing waited in the studio for a long time before he saw Song Mai drive back.
As soon as Song Mai opened the door, she saw Chu Yunxing's gloomy face and subconsciously smiled as she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The conversation at the Shen family's house just now made her feel completely relaxed. For some reason, she felt especially happy whenever she was in contact with the Shen family.
"Where did you just go?" Chu Yunxing asked in a low voice, his tone even carrying a hint of grievance.
"I went to the Shen family to sort out some misunderstandings," Song Mai said wearily, taking off her scarf.
"All right."
Seeing Chu Yunxing's hesitant expression, Song Mai couldn't help but feel puzzled.
What's wrong with you today?
Seeing the unease emanating from the two of them, Lin Ran quickly stepped forward to persuade them, "Can't you talk things out properly? We have guests coming later."
"What is your relationship with Shen Xiujing?"
After awkwardly uttering those words, Chu Yunxing looked away unnaturally, too embarrassed to look at her again.
“There’s no relationship whatsoever. He has a long-term partnership with the studio, and nothing else.” Song Mai couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “What happened to her?”
Does he like you?
Chu Yunxing didn't know why he had said those words by mistake; he just felt like the jar of jealousy in his heart had been suddenly overturned.
He will not be able to eat or sleep if this matter is not clarified today.
Song Mai frowned: "How could he like me? We're just business partners. Do you think something should happen between us?"
"That's not what I meant." Chu Yunxing noticed her anger rising and explained, "I just feel that he's been intentionally or unintentionally getting close to you lately, worried about your safety."
"But the tone of your question just now didn't mean that at all. You don't mean you think he's pursuing me, so you've been betrayed, do you?"
When Song Mai said this, her tone was completely flat. She just stared at Chu Yunxing quietly, a displeased smile curving her lips.
"That's not what I meant." Chu Yunxing's words became increasingly incoherent.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Lin Ran immediately spoke up to persuade them: "Is this little thing worth arguing about? There must be some misunderstanding. Just clear it up."
Song Mai frowned subconsciously: "Shen Xiujing is not pursuing me. Madam Shen and I just hit it off at first sight."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that," Chu Yunxing said anxiously.
Explanations at this point seem futile; whatever he says sounds contrived.
He stammered for a moment, unable to explain himself, and finally could only sigh helplessly: "I'm sorry."
"Alright, there's no need to take this so seriously." Song Mai finally softened and explained An An's situation to him.
Chu Yunxing frowned: "It seems that Liu Jia'er still doesn't know how to repent."
“I don’t care whether she was involved in my car accident back then, but I absolutely will not allow her to have any contact with An’an now.”
Song Mai said this with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen again." Chu Yunxing was completely enraged.
Regardless of whether An'an is his child or not, she now holds a very important place in Chu Yunxing's heart.
He could not tolerate anyone harming Song Mai and her daughter.
No sooner had Chu Yunxing left than Old Master Chu appeared at the studio.
Lin Ran didn't recognize the elderly man and instinctively asked, "Are you here to order a dress?"
Old Master Chu shook his head: "I'm here to find someone."
Who are you looking for?
An'an ran out of the lounge and, upon seeing Grandpa Chu, exclaimed joyfully, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
Grandpa? Lin Ran frowned.
She looked at Old Master Chu warily and asked in a low voice, "Sir, is there anything I can do for you today?"
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen An'an for a long time." Grandpa Chu gently stroked An'an's head and asked with a smile, "Have you missed Grandpa these past few days?"
An'an nodded thoughtfully: "I don't know where Grandpa is, so I can't see you."
After pondering for a moment, Old Master Chu entered a number into her watch.
"This is Grandpa's contact information. If you miss Grandpa or encounter any difficulties, be sure to call him immediately."
An'an nodded vigorously: "An'an understands, Grandpa, do you want some water?"
"Grandpa has something to do, he'll come play with you next time."
Grandpa Chu returned to the car and sighed helplessly.
To ensure An'an's identity, he personally came to collect a hair sample, hoping to conduct another DNA test with Chu Yunxing.
Regardless of whether An'an is Chu Yunxing's child or not, Old Master Chu is willing to accept it calmly.
No one would refuse such a sensible and obedient child.
Assistant Lu, driving the car, asked, "Grandpa Chu, should we tell Master Yun about this?"
"No need. Don't tell anyone why we're here today. If Song Mai asks about it later, just pretend you don't know anything."
Assistant Lu nodded thoughtfully, a hint of hesitation in his heart: "If we don't tell Master Yun, what if he finds out..."
"So what if he knows? This brat is incompetent; can he blame anyone else for it?"
Assistant Lu sighed helplessly and nodded silently in agreement.
As expected, the DNA test results confirmed that An'an was indeed Chu Yunxing's child.
Grandpa Chu was overjoyed and couldn't stop laughing as he looked at the DNA test report.
When Chu Yunxing returned home and saw his grandfather smiling happily, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face as well: "Grandpa, why are you in such a good mood today?"
"When something happy happens, you should naturally be in a good mood." Old Master Chu discreetly hid the DNA test report.
"I've come today to discuss something with you. Song Mai has been back for quite some time now; perhaps she'll regain her memory soon." Chu Yunxing hesitated before speaking.
"You're trying to give me a heads-up: if An'an isn't your child, but you and Song Mai reconcile, An'an's identity will naturally become a concern for the Chu family." Old Master Chu had long understood what he was thinking.
Chu Yunxing nodded thoughtfully: "That's exactly right."
"If An'an isn't your child, have you considered how you would treat An'an after your child with Maizi is born?"
