Chapter 1433: He Is My Son (6)
Mo Xicheng: …??
He was puzzled. But when he saw Li Shu’s expression, he asked no questions. He reached out, plucked two strands of his hair and handed them to Li Shu.
That he had done this unquestioningly, Li Shu felt all the more conscience-stricken.
She reached out and took the two strands of hair. Then she looked at him as though she couldn’t bear to leave.
This was her son. She had watched him grow up, not knowing that he was her son.
She wished she could stand there looking at him forever, to make up for all those times that she had pretended she didn’t see him.
Her eyes reddened again, as she said hesitantly, “You’re still recovering from your injuries, you have to rest more. Don’t stay walking around out here, understand?”
Mo Xicheng was stunned for a moment, but there was a flash of happiness in his eyes as he nodded and said, “You too.”
Li Shu nodded.
Even though she was reluctant, she had to leave.
She looked at Mo Xicheng and Shi Nianyao as the two of them walked away. They were whispering sweet nothings to each other. The heartache she felt was almost unbearable.
The Mo Xicheng of the past had been such a gloomy person, but now, with Shi Nianyao by his side, he had become much more optimistic and cheerful.
Shi Nianyao… was a good girl.
Li Shu looked away and shifted her gaze to the few strands of hair.
She narrowed her eyes and hurried away.
When she reached the parking lot, she instructed the chauffeur to drive her to a private investigation lab. She handed Mo Xicheng’s hair, together with her own, to the staff and requested, “I’d like to do a paternity test.”
The person replied, “Sure.”
Li Shu asked a little impatiently, “When will the test result be out?”
The employee said, “Madam, our national DNA test process is complex, so it’s a little slow. We will send your samples overseas to test them, so the shortest possible time for results is a week.”
Li Shu narrowed her eyes and replied, “Money is not an issue for me, can you get it done faster?”
Immediately, the employee became more prudent and said, “Ok, we will try our best. At best, we’ll take three days.”
Li Shu nodded and said, “I want to see the test results in three days.”
–
By the time Li Shu got back to the Mo family home, Mo Hai had already been waiting for her for some time.
Looking dejected as she entered the house, Mo Hai enthusiastically welcomed her home.
The dining room was filled with the familiar aroma of home-cooked food.
Li Shu paused and looked at the laid out dining table.
There were three homemade stir-fried dishes and, although all the dishes were vegetarian, it was more than adequate.
These were… Mo Hai’s signature dishes.
Li Shu was taken by surprise. Suddenly, her mind went back to around twenty years ago, when Mo Hai had pursued her…
At the time, Li Shu was an aloof person who did not like the businessman aura that Mo Hai had about him. Hence when Mo Hai began his great pursuit of this woman, she kept rejecting him.
The man kept asking her, “Li Shu, what do you find undesirable about me? Just let me know and I will make changes.”
Harassed to the point that she felt cornered, she could only say, “You can’t cook.”
Mo Hai: …
He was stumped at that point. Eventually when he saw that Li Shu was giving him the cold shoulder, he rubbed his nose in an embarrassed manner and said, “Ok.”
Mo Hai disappeared the following three days.
Li Shu thought that, finally, she could have some peace.
But unexpectedly, three days later, Mo Hai appeared before her with an insulated lunch. Handing it to her, he said, “I’ve learnt to make these three fine gourmet dishes. I’ve brought them for you to have a taste. They are some of your favorite meals.”
