Yan Qi looked at the person in front of him with a gaze he had never shown before: "Bai Yan, you are indeed a genius."
This has nothing to do with romantic love, but rather with admiration for someone on a higher level than oneself.
Yan Qi is an idealist. This can be seen from the fact that after he recognized Bai Yan as a suitable culture medium, he was even willing to sacrifice his marriage in order to completely cure Si Nian.
He loved Si Nian, and curing her illness became his instinctive pursuit.
But no one engaged in this research can refuse something like reduced cell fluid; it's a product that shouldn't have been invented in this century!
Although it is expensive to build, it will bring about a qualitative change to human survival.
It may lead humanity into a new era in the future.
All researchers yearn for a truth, and Bai Yan's research has broken through to the truth of human life.
He was amazed by her vision and intelligence; she was a pioneer in science and the continuation of human life.
"But why..." Yan Qi's eyes flickered slightly. Why her?
Bai Yan asked with a smile, "Why what?"
She took off her thick glasses, and Yan Qi then discovered that besides her brilliant mind, his wife was also incredibly beautiful—after more than two years of marriage, this was the first time he had noticed how dazzling she was, like the sun.
Yan Qi's eyes flickered, and he shook his head. "I'm just wondering, you have so many plans and so many ideas in your mind, why have you never told me?"
Bai Yan simply looked at him, then curled one side of her red lips and said casually, "Because you're very busy."
Yan Qi's gaze faltered slightly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes... He realized that he actually quite enjoyed discussing and researching with Bai Yan.
Only a genius can keep up with a prodigy.
He seems to have missed a lot.
"I'm tired, I'm going back to my room to rest." Bai Yan got up from the sofa, and before going back to her bedroom, she turned back and said, "It's been cloudy lately, and the house is a bit damp because it's near the river. The stairs are a bit slippery, so be extra careful when you go up there, don't fall."
Yan Qi nodded, then somewhat dazedly held his head in his hands.
He had never hesitated when it came to Si Nian's affairs in the past, but now he hesitated—the advent of the cell fluid was inseparable from Bai Yan, and he could not bear the guilt of hindering the progress of human science.
Moreover, once the drug is officially released, Si Nian's illness will be cured.
Thinking of this, Yan Qi slowly loosened his grip... Perhaps it could be the best of both worlds.
...
Sijia
Si Nian held the paternity test report he had obtained from the testing agency, his expression uncertain.
She never imagined that she and Bai Yan were actually sisters!
Bai Yan is younger than her, so she can only be her father's illegitimate daughter. Thinking of this, a look of disgust flashed in Si Nian's eyes.
Her parents' relationship was bad from the time she was born. Her mother had to deal with a lot of lovers every year, like weeds that could be cut off no matter how many times she was cut off, not to mention the illegitimate children who wanted to move in together.
Yan Qi grew up with her, and he knew that she hated her father's illegitimate children the most. So why was he with Bai Yan?
Si Nian thought of her mother's hesitant words again, and an unspeakable thought gradually spread in her mind.
Her heart started pounding uncontrollably. Was it what she thought?
She clutched the paternity test results tightly in her hand, her heart as crumpled as the results themselves.
"Sir, what brings you back?" a voice called from downstairs.
Si Nian looked out of her room window and saw her biological father, Si Guangsheng, walk in through the door. "Where is Song Jia?"
Song Jia is the name of Si Nian's mother.
"Madam is upstairs having coffee with her friends," the maid replied.
"She's in the mood for coffee? I'll go find her!"
After Si Guangsheng finished speaking, he went upstairs to the tea room.
Upon arrival, I saw Mrs. Si holding a coffee cup, smiling and talking to her friend.
He said impatiently, "Song Jia, I have something to tell you."
Seeing that Si Guangsheng looked hostile, Si's mother put down her coffee cup and glanced apologetically at her friend: "Something came up at home, let's reschedule for another day."
"Alright, alright, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it." Seeing the couple's attitude, the friend didn't dare to stay any longer and left quickly.
"You haven't been back for half a year, and this is the first time you've returned?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Madam Si's lips. "What's wrong? Did some vixen outside have a fight with you?"
"Come on!" Si Guangsheng waved his hand: "I came to talk to you about Bai Yan."
"I know what you and that Yan family brat are planning. To use her to treat Niannian's illness and replace her failing organs, right?"
Madam Si frowned slightly, then said, "What Bai Yan? I have no idea what you're talking about. Yan Qi is in charge of Niannian's illness; you don't need to worry about it."
"Don't pretend with me. I know very well what you and the Yan family have done for Niannian's illness all these years. I also know what Yan Qi did behind the scenes, such as faking the marriage."
"I'm here today to tell you that I don't care whether others live or die, but Bai Yan, no way!" Si Guangsheng said, "That's my daughter. I plan to have her recognized by her family soon. I'm informing you in advance to avoid any scandal later."
"Si Guangsheng! Have you taken the wrong medicine?" Si's mother could no longer maintain her composure.
She smashed her coffee cup on the ground and shouted angrily, "Still trying to claim ancestry!"
"Don't tell me you've suddenly become a doting father after almost thirty years? If you really were that doting father, why didn't you bring that bitch back and raise her when she died in childbirth?"
"Since you know everything, you should also understand that Niannian's body needs surgery!" Madam Si said, "What, is Niannian not as good as a lowly illegitimate daughter like you?"
"You abandoned her all these years ago, and now you're remembering your pitifully little fatherly love?"
Si Guangsheng waved his hand: "Whether I care about my daughter or not is none of your business. In short, you can't touch Bai Yan. There are other ways to treat her illness every year. We have money and the Yan family's connections. What can't she get in return?"
"But Bai Yan is the most suitable; her genes are a perfect match for Nian Nian!" Mother Si gritted her teeth: "Do you know how much pain Nian Nian suffers every time she has surgery?"
"Yan Qi said that after the most suitable surgery is performed, she will be able to return to a normal life!"
Si Nian, who was eavesdropping outside, felt a jolt in his heart.
Si Guangsheng shook his head: "With so many connections to the Yan family, don't you know what's going on in their circle? Bai Yan, my daughter, she created the 'Antiviral Serum,' the world's first, do you understand?"
"She's a genius!"
"She will soon appear on national television to hold a research and development meeting for the 'Antiviral Serum.' What does this mean?"
"Bai Yan has already caught the eye of the nation. She's not even thirty yet, and she has unlimited potential in the industry! After being recognized as a member of the Si family, this will be a path for our Si family to move up in the ranks!"
Mrs. Si gave a bitter smile: "What about Niannian? Have you thought about her? To tell you the truth, her last surgery failed, and she won't last another year."
