Chapter 314: The Sample Has Been Swapped

I thought that after clearing things up we could relax a bit, but the atmosphere at home grew even more oppressive.

It wasn't until Yao Yao, seriously holding the iPad, found Lu Xiwán.

Lu Xiwán suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Mommy, why?" Yao Yao's little face was full of confusion, yet their expression was also very serious.

Yao Yao didn't understand why those people online claimed they weren't Daddy's child, why Daddy and Mommy didn't tell them, and why everything had to be hidden from them.

In that instant, Lu Xiwán's body tensed; she suddenly didn't know how to explain to Yao Yao, and her words felt utterly feeble.

"Mommy, why aren't you looking at me?" Yao Yao tilted their head and, from the snippets they saw online, guessed many possibilities.

Lu Xiwán weakly reached out, patted Yao Yao's little head, froze for a moment, and still couldn't think of how to explain.

Yao Yao's expression shifted from initial confusion to incomprehension, then to doubt after their belief collapsed.

Could everything those people online said be true? A child's imagination is vivid, and not getting an answer from Lu Xiwán already set Yao Yao's mind wandering.

In the end, Fu Sijue arrived just in time and rescued Lu Xiwán from the predicament.

Fu Sijue received Uncle Chen's call on his way to the company and hurried back.

Facing him were Yao Yao's big eyes, yearning for the truth.

"Daddy, can you tell Yao Yao whether what's said online is true?"

Fu Sijue's gaze fell on the iPad, instantly seizing the key content displayed on the screen.

It was his oversight that let Yao Yao see this information.

Guilt swept Fu Sijue in an instant; his fingers tightened slightly as the helplessness he felt watching Yao Yao's painful struggle resurfaced.

"It's not true," Fu Sijue answered calmly, ultimately choosing to deceive Yao Yao, "Look at this."

He skillfully located the Parent-Child DNA Test image, which boldly stated that Fu Sijue and Fu Yao were parent and child.

Fortunately, the test had been taken with himself at the time, and Fu Sijue suddenly felt an inexplicable panic.

The child he most wanted to protect would be fine as long as they were safe and healthy.

Yao Yao's little face relaxed considerably, and they quickly grabbed Fu Sijue's sleeve.

"Daddy, I also want to do the test with Mommy."

Fu Sijue and Lu Xiwán fell silent; they didn't even know how to answer Yao Yao's request.

Especially Lu Xiwán, startled by Yao Yao, a fully developed human infant who could infer everything, was at a loss for words.

Lu Xiwán gently patted Yao Yao's little head, "It wouldn't help even if the two of us did it."

Although Lu Xiwán also hoped Yao Yao was her own child, it was clearly impossible.

Lu Xixi, the cautious observer who had been hiding in the corner, hurried over, looking at Lu Xiwán with great anticipation.

"Mommy, just do it with Yao Yao's brother."

Lu Xiwán suddenly began to doubt herself, wondering if she had remembered incorrectly.

When had these two children reached an agreement?

Yao Yao looked up, their eyes flashing, "Xi Xi and I share the same birthday, and we are the same age."
