Zhou Zhou gave a soft "hmm" and said, "I miss my child."
"Daddy~" Fu Xiaofan began his sweet-talking offensive, stretching his arms and legs to get down. After being successfully placed on the ground, he took his little legs and ran towards Fu Hengzhi on the sofa. "Daddy~ Xiaofan missed you so much~ Did you miss Xiaofan too~"
Fu Hengzhi picked him up and placed him on his left lap, staring at the face in front of him that was more than 90% similar to his wife's, seemingly lost in thought.
Zhou Zhou had originally intended to take out the brocade box and place it on the table, but noticing that the other person was not in a good state, she withdrew her hand, walked over and sat down next to him, took his hand hanging by his side, and asked with concern, "What happened? You don't look well."
"Something happened." Fu Hengzhi leaned to the right, resting his head on the other person's shoulder, inhaling the unique scent of the other person. Only then did his nerves, which had been pounding since he returned, finally calm down.
"What's in your pocket?" Fu Hengzhi pressed against the other person, feeling something poking him at his waist.
"Oh, you mean this?" Zhou Zhou hadn't planned to bring this up now, but since the other party had asked, he casually took out the brocade box and placed it on the coffee table, saying expressionlessly, "Here, I found this in the driver's seat storage compartment when I was getting your Maybach serviced."
"......"
Zhou Zhou could feel that President Fu, who was leaning against him, suddenly stiffened.
He hadn't noticed the leather document bag on the coffee table, so he casually asked, "What's this?"
"..." Fu Hengzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Paternity test report."
[Author's Note: Zhou Zhou raises the ring: Trust?]
Fu Heng's actions: a report on parent-child relationships.
Fu Xiaofan: Paternity test? What paternity test?!
Chapter 103 A Close Call
===============================
The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet, and the three people on the sofa freeze, looking at each other, each with their own secret thoughts.
Paternity test? What kind of paternity test? Who gets the results?
Fu Xiaofan stared at the paternity test report on the table for only a second or two in a daze before she immediately realized what was happening.
Nonsense, he doesn't look like a member of the Fu family. The identification should be of him and Fu Hengzhi, not Zhou Zhou and Fu Hengzhi.
Shouldn't the person being tested be informed beforehand? He had no idea when the other party had this done.
Fu Xiaofan tried her best to act natural, forcing herself to continue pretending, blinking her big eyes at Fu Hengzhi, and asked in a childish voice, "Daddy~ what is a paternity test?"
"..." Zhou Zhou panicked, but he remained relatively calm. He reached for the brown paper bag and said in a calm tone, "When was the test done? I didn't know."
"yesterday."
“...Is that so?” Zhou Zhou appeared calm on the surface, but was actually panicking. He opened the file bag as he spoke, “I actually wanted to do it too, but I haven’t had time yet. After all, suddenly having another son is really too unbelievable...I forgot how many indices are between father and son.”
"...% and above".
Zhou Zhou: "..." Very good, just a tiny bit short.
%, Zhou Zhou had to admit that he was momentarily stunned and his mind went blank when he saw this number.
No, this won't do, we have to stay calm.
Zhou Zhou looked at Fu Hengzhi and Fu Xiaofan in his arms with a shocked expression. Fu Xiaofan blinked his eyes and looked like a curious child who didn't understand, but in reality, his heart was pounding.
Zhou Zhou understood him; at this moment, he could only remain silent. If he opened his mouth to explain, he might be sent to the research institute by Fu Hengzhi, since what four-year-old child understands genetics?
At this moment, the father and son found themselves in perfect sync.
Zhou Zhou felt he had never been this focused, not even during rehearsals in front of the camera. He scanned and reviewed the report repeatedly, his expression shifting from surprise to worry, muttering to himself, "How could this be?"
After saying that, they discovered there was another sheet in the brown paper bag, so they took it out and looked at it as well.
"And this is it again?" Zhou Zhou asked, glancing at the test results.
"The results of your and your child's paternity tests."
"..." Zhou Zhou stared at the printed integer on the form, looking at it over and over again, as if he could see right through the paper.
Holy crap, 100%!
"I don't quite understand."
Zhou Zhou ground his back teeth. If it were just him and Fu Xiaofan here, he would definitely give her a complete childhood.
This is utterly worthless. You can't even copy homework properly. You copied facial data, and you even copied the genes verbatim.
Zhou Zhou: "Is it medically possible for a father and son to have 100% genetic similarity?"
In the medical field, for the sake of rigor, paternity testing can only approach 100% but will never be 100% certain.
"No."
Fu Hengzhi looked worried. He glanced at Fu Xiaofan's face and then at Zhou Zhou. When Dr. Bai called him to his office and brought out these two reports, he was initially somewhat devastated.
He and the child are not biologically related, but the child looks similar to Zhou Zhou. What does this mean? It means that his previous guess was correct. Zhou Zhou may have really had a relationship with a woman, and for some reason, that woman chose not to continue raising the child. Then Zhou Zhou conspired with the child to deceive him.
Seeing that Fu Hengzhi was testing the limits of his defenses, Dr. Bai took out another report with a complicated expression.
The results of the identification of Zhou Zhou and Fu Xiaofan are 100%.
“Hmm…is it possible that the medical equipment is broken?” Thanks to this 100%, there was still a chance to salvage the situation. Zhou Zhou wiped his sweaty hands on his lap, then grasped Fu Hengzhi’s hand and said, “Or perhaps you mixed up the samples.”
Both scenarios have a chance of occurring, though it is very small.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Zhou Zhou said firmly. “I’ve never done anything to wrong you, and I hope you can believe me. If you’re worried, the three of us can go to the hospital again for a paternity test. We’ll get a result eventually.”
These words were not only meant for Fu Hengzhi, but also for Fu Xiaofan, who was part of the system. The implication was that you still had a chance to salvage the situation and should think of a solution immediately.
Fu Hengzhi: "..."
Fu Xiaofan: "..."
Fu Hengzhi: "The hospital equipment is fine, but Dr. Bai suspects that I mixed up the hair samples and told me to take another sample if I have any concerns."
"Hospital?" Fu Xiaofan suddenly looked nervous, hugged Fu Hengzhi's neck tightly, and looked like she was about to cry. "Daddy, I don't want to go to the hospital. Xiaofan is healthy and doesn't need injections."
With a completely childlike mentality, Fu Hengzhi felt that the child seemed to rely on him more than Zhou Zhou, which made him want to do another paternity test.
It's likely that he made a mistake and mixed up the hair samples, submitting two of Zhou Zhou's and one of his own.
Thinking about it this way, it seems easy to explain why the test results are unscientific.
"It's okay, it's not a shot." Zhou Zhou gently patted Fu Xiaofan's back to coax him. "We'll just go to the hospital to see a doctor and we'll be right back. No need for a shot."
"Really?" Fu Xiaofan first turned to look at him, her eyes and nose red, then pouted at Fu Hengzhi and said, "Didn't Daddy take Xiaofan to get a shot?"
"No." Fu Hengzhi shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the snot and tears from his face, stroked the soft hair on his head, and whispered, "Daddy promises."
"Let's go, let's go to the hospital again." This matter needs to be resolved. When Zhou Zhou got up, he felt a chill on his back. He hadn't even noticed that he had just broken out in a cold sweat.
Fu Hengzhi was driving the car, and the hospital was still the same private hospital. Fu Hengzhi was worried that his wife would have a rift with him, so he didn't care whether she was still there or not. He just kept explaining, "Baby, I believe you. I didn't mean to doubt you. I had the paternity test done in advance because I was worried that my parents would have some doubts."
To prevent such an unexpected situation, Fu Hengzhi suddenly felt a sense of relief for some reason.
After a long and tiring journey, the three of them went to the sampling room again to provide hair samples.
"What's wrong?" The three of them walked to the hospital entrance. Fu Hengzhi stopped, holding the sleeping Fu Xiaofan, and looked at Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou stood still, looking into the hospital with a slight frown, as if deep in thought. Hearing this, he said, "I feel like someone is watching me."
"Are they paparazzi?" Fu Hengzhi said, pulling the mask that was pulled down to his chin upwards and reassuring him, "It's okay. If any headlines break, I'll suppress them for you immediately."
"Maybe it's just my imagination." Exhausted both mentally and physically, Zhou Zhou felt utterly worn out and believed Fu Hengzhi was in no better shape. He reached into Fu Hengzhi's pocket, pulled out the car keys, and said, "I'll drive. You can sit in the back with the child."
Zhou Zhou pressed his temples as he sat in the driver's seat. All he wanted to do was go home and get some sleep, but he still felt like he hadn't finished dealing with the day's issues.
What is it?
Chapter 104 Rational Idol Worship is Everyone's Responsibility
Today was a busy day, and Zhou Zhou fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the bed after returning home. He vaguely remembered Fu Hengzhi calling him for dinner in his sleep, but his eyelids were too heavy. He picked up the summer quilt, covered his head, and drifted off to sleep again.
Even while he was in a coma, his mind never stopped. His experiences since transmigrating into the book flashed through his dreams like a revolving lantern. Zhou Zhou was exhausted and forced to go through the process again, but fortunately, the process ended as soon as it began.
"Ten million!" Zhou Zhou sat up in shock from his sleep, startling President Fu, who had just sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Had a nightmare?" The other person spoke too fast, and Fu Hengzhi didn't hear what they were shouting. Remembering the last time his wife woke up in the middle of the night looking for him, he saw that the other person was frowning slightly and keeping their head down without saying a word. President Fu thought that his wife was having another nightmare, so he began to comfort her.
"What about that ten million ring?"
"......"
Zhou Zhou slowly raised his head, his eyes sparkling as he casually asked a question. Fu Hengzhi's hand, which was about to rub the other's head, froze in mid-air.
"Hmm?" Zhou Zhou asked, uttering another questioning syllable when the other party did not respond.
"It's with Xiao Fan." Fu Hengzhi thought that he would have to face this matter sooner or later, but he didn't expect his wife to suddenly wake up in a dream about that ring. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. But even if he didn't know what to say, he still had to explain. The issue of trust between husband and wife would be dragged out and whipped again.
"Baby." When coaxing his wife to admit her mistakes, President Fu would always call her that. In the past, when Zhou Zhou heard this term, the light in her eyes would soften. But at this moment, Zhou Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly, her calmness was frightening.
He said calmly, "I was too busy during the day to process everything. Didn't someone say last time that they hadn't been hiding anything from me?"
"..." They've started bringing up old grievances. President Fu braced himself and tried to hold the other's hand hanging by his side. Fortunately, Zhou Zhou didn't refuse and shook off his hand. Fu Hengzhi felt that the situation could still be salvaged, so he immediately began to explain.
“I really didn’t remember about this ring last time.” Fu Heng stroked his wife’s head, and when she glanced at him, he understood and continued, “Before that, I deliberately kept it from you, but I was angry then.”
Speaking of this, President Fu seemed to gain confidence from somewhere, and his voice sounded much stronger, although it was still no louder than Zhou Zhou's question, "What are you angry about?"
“I know you bought this ring specifically for Ye Qisheng.” Fu Hengzhi said unhappily, his tone quite sarcastic. “The inside of the ring is even laser-engraved with ForMyLove·YQS.”
"?" Is that so? Zhou Zhou frowned. He didn't buy the ring, and he never really had much of an impression of the details of ring customization. But seeing Fu Hengzhi's aggrieved expression, Zhou Zhou's money-grubbing heart suddenly flew out. Hmm, he could probably understand the other person.
"I was... impulsive when I was chasing after celebrities." Zhou Zhou and Fu Xiaofan had already planned how to scold Fu Hengzhi when they came back during the day, but now it was obviously unnecessary. "Be rational when chasing celebrities. I wasn't rational at the time."
Fu Hengzhi was exceptionally good at reading his wife's expressions. Since she didn't seem to intend to blame him for the incident, he suddenly became bolder.
"It's good that you're rational now." Fu Hengzhi feigned a bitter smile and shook his head self-deprecatingly. "Sometimes I really envy Ye Qisheng, having enjoyed your irrational favoritism."
Zhou Zhou: "......" Getting excited, aren't you?
"I love you, I love you too." Zhou Zhou moved a little closer to Fu Hengzhi and gave him a quick kiss on the smooth forehead.
Just one kiss from his wife made President Fu feel so happy that his heart was bubbling with joy. He even took the opportunity to elaborate, his expression so swayed that he didn't know where he was going. He cupped her face in his hands and returned the kiss.
Even though the two kissed many times, Zhou Zhou still couldn't handle the other's passion each time, and was kissed until she was limp and weak in Fu Hengzhi's arms.
President Fu was delighted, with one arm around the other person and the other tracing the lines of the other person's back.
Zhou Zhou felt a large hand stroking his back, then slipping under his clothes. He knew what would happen next without even thinking, so he took the opportunity to reach out and hook his arm around Fu Hengzhi's neck. The two of them fell onto the bed together, their eyes meeting.
