At this moment, she thought of the insults she had hurled at Su Ding during that period, wishing she could personally go and reprimand the woman who had tarnished the Jin family's reputation.
But it turned out that Su Ding had been framed.
If Su Ding was framed in this matter, what about the kidnapping?
Unconsciously, Zhao Qin's impression of Su Ding had undergone a 360-degree transformation. Especially tonight, having received a favor from Su Ding, it was even harder for her to resent Su Ding.
But…
"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears that night. It couldn't have not been her?"
Zhao Qin was dumbfounded. She even began to doubt her own memory.
After an unknown amount of time, drowsiness gradually crept in. She no longer had the energy to ponder so much and went to her room to rest.
Meanwhile.
Su Ding returned, and it was already three in the morning.
Jin Ye had fallen asleep on the sofa, clearly waiting for her.
She walked over and gently touched his face. They had been separated for so long; it would be a lie to say she didn't miss him. Especially when facing Jin Ling, who resembled Jin Ye but was different, this feeling of longing was even more profound.
"Go upstairs and sleep."
Su Ding said softly.
As if hearing Su Ding's voice, Jin Ye slowly opened his eyes, naturally reached out to wrap his arm around Su Ding's waist, buried his face in her chest for several tens of seconds, and then came to his senses.
"Where were you? Why are you back so late?"
The husky, sexy deep voice sent a warmth flowing through Su Ding's heart.
Especially thinking that Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui were twins, and they were his children, her heart was filled with excitement and joy.
However, she had already decided on the way back not to tell Jin Ye about this for now, wanting to surprise him.
As for Shao Lin…
Su Ding would certainly not tell Jin Ye. She admitted that her methods were a bit cruel and despicable, but she did not regret it.
But in front of Jin Ye, she didn't want to say much.
"I went to my dad's."
Su Ding kindly told a white lie. As long as Shao Zheng Gang was mentioned, Jin Ye wouldn't ask too many questions.
As expected, Jin Ye nodded, then got up and pulled her upstairs with him to go to their room to sleep.
They didn't say much else. Embracing each other, they quickly fell asleep.
The night passed quickly.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Su Ding woke up. As she opened her eyes, she saw that familiar and handsome face right in front of her.
Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.
This reminded her of the phrase "peaceful years," and she smiled gently.
Then, Jin Ye also woke up.
Seeing Su Ding smiling at him tenderly, he directly pulled her into his arms and said lazily in a husky voice, "Sleep a little longer."
Not long after, they fell asleep again.
It wasn't until their stomachs rumbled that Su Ding and Jin Ye woke up. They looked at each other and both laughed.
"Get up, let's eat."
They tacitly got up and put on their clothes.
"I'll help you with your buttons."
As Su Ding was fastening the buttons on her back, Jin Ye directly reached out to help.
The casual actions of an old married couple, so harmonious, so natural.
As they put on their clothes, they chatted. Jin Ye said, "I'll go to the company later. I have a meeting. Your topic has been trending at number one since yesterday, and many media reporters are staking out near our place. Try not to go out."
"Okay, I know."
Su Ding agreed, picked up her phone, and casually scrolled through it. She saw a message from Zhao Qin: [Don't tell my son that I was at your place.]
Su Ding glanced at Jin Ye, who was about to go downstairs, hesitated for a few seconds, and gave up the idea of mentioning it.
Then they went downstairs together.
After a simple breakfast, Su Ding suddenly remembered another matter concerning Jin Ling, "What are you going to do about Jin Ling?"
Yesterday, Jin Ye had said that he had sent people to investigate Jin Ling's origin, but how would Jin Ling be handled?
"The paternity test is already being done. It's my dad's, mine, and his samples."
Jin Ye said directly. He took this matter quite seriously.
If it was confirmed that they had a blood relationship, he would then explain the situation to his parents.
"Right now, I've locked Jin Ling up in the place where he previously locked me. However, I don't have time to see him for the moment, so let him calm down."
Su Ding nodded, "That's fine too."
She felt a bit repulsed by Jin Ling, after all, he had impersonated Jin Ye and pretended to be her husband for a while. Although they hadn't had any substantial contact, the thought of it made her uncomfortable.
Moreover, Jin Ling looked so much like Jin Ye, just like Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui. The possibility of no blood relation was too low.
In fact, Su Ding had even considered that, generally speaking, for someone to have twins, there was usually a chance of having twins in the parents' or ancestors' family history.
Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui were twins.
So it was very likely that Jin Ye and Jin Ling were also…
However, seeing Jin Ye's not-so-good impression of Jin Ling, she didn't want to say too much.
But since a paternity test was being done, why not do another one?
Su Ding recalled the secret she had learned last night and smiled knowingly, giving Jin Ye a meaningful look, "Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui also look very alike. Why don't we do one for them too?"
Jin Ye looked at Su Ding's smile and felt she was hinting at something.
Hinting that Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui were twins?
But a long time ago, he had personally seen the paternity test for Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui at Su Ding's place, where the relationship was stated as no blood relation.
Why, after so long?
She brought it up again herself?
Jin Ye looked at Su Ding with confusion, very perplexed, "Aren't they…"
"Let's do it and see, what if?"
Su Ding deliberately said, "Some things cannot be concluded definitively. Like you and Jin Ling. It's quite strange that there's someone in this world who looks exactly like you."
Jin Ye saw that Su Ding said that and had no choice but to nod.
"Alright, I'll have someone do it today."
"Okay."
Su Ding smiled, got up, "It's about time, you should go to the company."
Jin Ye nodded. Just as he was about to go out, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
After answering, he looked at Su Ding with surprise, speechless for a few seconds, then said somewhat confusedly, "Shao Lin has been apprehended."
