222 222 — Doing The DNA Test

The day together passed very quickly, and before she knew it, Pei Yueran was waving goodbye to the two boys with reddened eyes.

Li Chuanmo held her shoulder, comforting her. They would be back in about two months for the winter holidays, so she didn't need to worry.

From Anping First Middle School, they drove straight to the hospital for the agreed meeting. Somehow Li Chuanmo had been driving since they returned from their honeymoon. Gong Anwei and Fang Bo were on "compulsory leave."

When they got to the hospital, they met the mother and son waiting for them. Today, Qiao Mingran was dressed a bit more brightly in a yellow suit and white silk blouse. Coupled with her eyes that seemed to shine, the effect was elegant.

She welcomed Pei Yueran with a big smile when she saw her. Pei Yueran politely greeted her as well. Till now, her feelings towards this woman were still complicated.

After the initial greetings, they went in to the doctor's office. The doctor had already been waiting for them, so after a few words, he took them to the laboratory. In a few minutes, the samples were collected, and then it was time to wait for the results.

Gao Tinghua had originally booked a private room in a nearby restaurant for them, but Pei Yueran didn't want to spend the next few hours waiting with them, so she looked conflicted.

Li Chuanmo took one look at her and said they had to quickly go somewhere. Qiao Mingran had no choice but to nod.

As Li Chuanmo reversed out of the parking lot and joined the traffic on the main road, Pei Yueran spoke, "I don't know why I still feel so uncomfortable with them."

Li Chuanmo didn't think it was a big deal, "It's only normal, don't worry about it."

"I just wonder. If the results confirm what they think, then what?"

"You become the Eldest Young Miss of the number one family in the Capital." Li Chuanmo said as a matter of fact.

"What does that even feel like?" Pei Yueran mused. If not for her relationship with Li Chuanmo, she would never have been associated with the aristocracy in a hundred years, so imagining the life she would have lived if she was born into it was difficult.

"You're probably about to find out soon."

She thought of something else, "And in all these, they've never actually mentioned the rest of the family. Are they the only ones looking for the lost child, or is there something else?"

Li Chuanmo didn't reply straightway. He had already done some digging and he had an inkling of how complicated the Gao family affairs were. At least, it was as different from his own family as clouds and mud.

Not wanting to trouble her, he only said vaguely, "Theirs is like every other century-old aristocratic family, maybe even more complex due to their deep roots. Don't think too much, let's just deal with things as they come."

Pei Yueran sighed. It was this sort of messy drama that she wasn't looking forward to at all.

Deciding that this conversation was not helpful, she changed the topic, "The company will resume work next week right? What project will we work on first?"

Li Chuanmo knew she just wanted to change the atmosphere, so he followed along, "The Bizhi one. Already their representatives have reached out and the planning department is working on it. We just need to sit with Director Fang and listen to his report."

Pei Yueran nodded as she noted it down. Already, she couldn't wait to go back to work, and she said as much to him.

"Who's the one with the extra energy now?"

Pei Yueran rolled her eyes, "Of course I'm filled with energy, and I plan to put it to good use for the company's future."

"That's not what you said last night."

"What did I say?" Pei Yueran willingly walked into his bait.

"Let me see, it was something like, "Honey please, I don't have extra energy. One more time and I might need a hip surgery." Even the breathless voice was imitated near-perfectly.

It was a good thing they had just arrived at the place he was taking her to— the cinema.

Pei Yueran almost vomited blood. Who's fault was it?! After yesterday's tossing, she had wondered briefly if he was venting all his unfulfilled desires of many years on her.

She had never outrightly asked him if he had remained celibate since his divorce, neither had he spoken of it, so she just assumed that he hadn't. Now with his almost insatiable appetite, she wasn't sure.

Glaring at him in embarrassment, Pei Yueran ignored him and opened the door.

The movie they chose was a two hour long film, and Pei Yueran thought the duration was just perfect. It was also a film she had planned to watch for a long time.

Unfortunately, soon after the movie started, it became obvious that the movie wasn't the reason Li Chuanmo brought them here.

They were in a private booth, and it had almost the same layout as the mini theatre in their villa.

Pei Yueran had just popped some popcorn into her mouth and sat back to enjoy the movie when someone cleared his throat beside her. When she turned, he said, "I want to eat popcorn too."

Pei Yueran calmly looked at the popcorn bowl sitting between them and looked back at him.

"I want you to feed me."

I have to admire you for saying such a childish thing with a straight face, Pei Yueran roasted him in her mind.

Even so, she picked a few kernels and lifted it to his mouth, her eyes still in the movie.

So she was totally unprepared when he lifted her slender body out of her chair and sat her down on his legs.

The short scream that left her mouth due to the unexpected feeling of weightlessness quickly subsided. This man! Couldn't he give her a heads-up at least?!

"That's why you should have paid attention when feeding me," Li Chuanmo said before eating the popcorn that was still in her hand.

Glaring at him again, she tried to get up, but without success. After trying a few times, she resigned herself to fate. Anyway, she would watch this movie and ignore him no matter what.

But she couldn't maintain her firm resolve for long.

She was just getting immersed in the movie when a hand snuck into her cream colored blouse. Before she could utter a word, her underwear had been unhooked.

The words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat. What was he doing?!

Just as she wanted to ask him that, his large hands grabbed her twin mounds and squeezed.

Pei Yueran's calm facade shattered.
