The next day, after finishing her morning scenes, Su Ding took a taxi to the hospital.
She had prepared hair samples from Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui beforehand, handing them over to the doctor for paternity testing and was told to pick up the results next week.
Truthfully, her heart was also a little anxious, unsure of what the final result would be.
If Xiao Xi was indeed her child, she would have to find a way to keep Xiao Xi by her side. However, she was completely incapable of confronting the Jin family...
Su Ding walked slowly down the hospital corridor, her head bowed in thought, when suddenly a strong force yanked her forward!
Her footing unsteady, she stumbled a few steps and fell onto the person.
"Oof!"
Her nose hurt from the impact, and tears welled up as she looked up at her assailant.
The man in front of her was tall and slender, dressed in fashionable yellow and white casual wear. He wore oversized sunglasses and a mask, a roguish smile on his face as he looked at her, "Ding Niū!"
Su Ding frowned, looking at the man, finding him somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall who he was.
The man's smile immediately faltered, and he shot her a somewhat wronged glance, "You forgot me so quickly? You truly are fickle and heartless!"
Hearing the voice, Su Ding finally remembered. The person in front of her was her neighbor from when she rented an apartment abroad, Xue Zhi Qiao.
She blinked, then looked him up and down, "Mr. Xue, why are you here?"
Seeing her calm and collected demeanor, Xue Zhi Qiao's joy diminished slightly. "Didn't I tell you I was returning to develop my career in China? I'm here today to get some medicine for allergies."
Su Ding nodded, then smiled, "What a coincidence."
Xue Zhi Qiao was annoyed by her polite and distant manner. He casually draped an arm around Su Ding's shoulders, "Ding Niū, why are you still so cold to me, just like before?"
Su Ding instinctively tried to push him away, but couldn't budge him at all.
Xue Zhi Qiao leaned in with a playful grin, "What are you hiding from? We were neighbors for three months, and I didn't do anything to you. Speaking of which, are you still considering me as your boyfriend?"
Su Ding glared at him, "Let go!"
Xue Zhi Qiao sighed and released her mournfully, "Ungrateful woman."
Su Ding looked at him speechlessly. From the very first day he moved in as her neighbor, this man had claimed he wanted to pursue her and even said he wanted to be Su Xiao Rui's stepfather. For those three months, he relentlessly pursued her until he returned to China.
She really hadn't expected him to still be like this?
Xue Zhi Qiao stopped joking and said seriously, "Speaking of which, when did you return to China?"
Su Ding replied, "Just a few days ago."
Xue Zhi Qiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why did you suddenly decide to return to China? Did you come looking for me?"
Su Ding rolled her eyes at him.
Xue Zhi Qiao chuckled sheepishly and asked again, "Why are you at the hospital? Are you not feeling well?"
Su Ding was about to say no, but then remembered that it was inconvenient to talk about the paternity test, so she nodded again.
Xue Zhi Qiao knew she probably didn't want to say, so he didn't pry. Instead, he extended his hand and beckoned, gesturing for her to hand him something.
Su Ding looked puzzled.
Xue Zhi Qiao couldn't help but poke her forehead, "Silly, your phone!"
Su Ding thought for a moment, then took out her phone, looking at him warily, "What for?"
Xue Zhi Qiao snatched it, keyed in his number, and dialed. He smiled with satisfaction only when his own phone rang, then handed it back to her.
He earnestly instructed, "Contact me when you're free. My phone number is also my WeChat. I miss Xiao Rui so much, it's been so long since I saw her."
Su Ding smiled helplessly, "Okay."
Just as Xue Zhi Qiao was about to say something, a hesitant female voice called out from behind him, "Is that Zhi Qiao Ge Ge?"
Xue Zhi Qiao's body stiffened. He didn't dare to turn around, quietly saying, "I'll contact you later," and hurried forward.
Su Ding turned her head and saw the girl freeze for a moment before she sprinted after him.
Shouting, "Give me an autograph—"
Su Ding's legs felt weak, and she was a little stunned by the excited shout.
Looking at Xue Zhi Qiao, she guessed that the person chasing him was likely his obsessed fan.
Xue Zhi Qiao himself was very handsome, a mixed-race individual, tall with fair skin, and deeply carved features, a complete handsome guy.
But... he wasn't her type.
Su Ding watched the girl chasing after him and secretly mused that with Xue Zhi Qiao's looks, he would surely have a very smooth career in the entertainment industry.
It was getting late, and she had scenes to shoot in the afternoon, so she didn't linger and rushed back to the film crew.
From a corner of the hospital, a woman with exquisite makeup and a seductive aura, Shao Lin, slowly emerged.
Shao Lin had come to the hospital to pick up medicine for her mother. She hadn't expected to see Su Ding in the identification department, and thinking back to the incident of taking away Jin Zi Xi years ago, she became flustered!
Had she discovered something?
After Su Ding left, Shao Lin, with a dark expression, walked into the identification room...
