Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Return after Plastic Surgery to Look Like Her
“Non-biological father.”
A large file folder lay before Ji Muye, stuffed with several paternity test documents from different agencies.
Ji Muye had only opened one of them and saw a disappointing result.
He had never wanted to believe it and thus opened the other files, only to find that the answers were all the same.
Ji Muye’s gaze lingered on those few words for a long while.
It was at this moment that he deeply realized how much he had hoped Lu Nuonuo was his daughter.
...
Even after seeing the test result, he still didn’t believe it in his heart.
Suddenly,
the words that Lu Xining had said before flashed through Ji Muye’s mind.
He took a deep breath, trying to isolate the clamor on the paper outside his heart and started calmly analyzing all possibilities.
Lu Nuonuo was a little over one year old…
If Lu Xining had not remarried, then according to her personality, she would definitely not have relations with other men in such a short time.
So!
As long as Nuonuo is Lu Xining’s daughter, the odds are that he is the father!
Ji Muye’s heartbeat gradually quickened.
He thought about asking Yan Dong to re-investigate the matter, but recalling Lu Xining’s distrust of those around him, he couldn’t help but doubt as well.
He made up his mind to dispatch another secret team to reinvestigate the matter.
Whether Lu Xining had any medical records from the hospital during the time she proposed a divorce two years ago.
Especially… the gynecology and obstetrics department!
The mere thought that Lu Nuonuo could be his daughter and that Lu Xining might have been pregnant at the time of their divorce made Ji Muye’s heart feel as though it was being clenched.
His gaze focused on Lu Xining and Little Dumpling not far away, obscure and profound, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.
Upon noticing Ji Muye’s gaze, Little Dumpling cuddled in Lu Xining’s arms and gave him a brilliant smile as radiant as the sun.
Following the child’s gaze, Lu Xining met the man’s profound eyes.
It seemed like several unclear emotions were entangled there, boiling hot and seemingly trying to break free from some kind of restraint, to burst through the shackles.
Yet, in just the blink of an eye, that gaze returned to its former calmness.
Lu Xining told herself she must draw a line with this cold-hearted man, apart from matters related to Ji Chao and Ji Ze, everything else was irrelevant to her.
With resolve, Lu Xining shifted her gaze back to the child in her arms.
She thought that in another month, it would be time to take her daughter for a health check-up, and she would have to return to the laboratory in Country C for that.
Seeing her distance from him, Ji Muye’s heart sank further.
–
Yan Dong was unaware of the results of the paternity test in the bag.
From receiving the file bag containing the samples to delivering it to several paternity test agencies, and then getting the results back to Ji Muye, only his hands had managed the process. He was quite confident in the authenticity of the contents, but he always felt that the boss had been looking unwell these past few days.
The boss would start to daydream while signing documents, and his gaze would occasionally fall on two family portraits on the desk.
Yan Dong coughed, reminding him, “President Ji, please sign.”
Ji Muye simply put the contract aside, staring at Yan Dong to ask, “Secretary Yan, how is your relationship with your girlfriend?”
Yan Dong was taken aback for a moment, “It’s, it’s alright, we’re getting engaged at the end of the year.”
Hearing this, Ji Muye continued, “When you have conflicts, how do you…”
He paused, “soothe her?”
Under Ji Muye’s profound gaze, Yan Dong answered: “Buy bags, give red packets, cook to show affection, travel, and also, cough, you know… in the quiet of the night, lower your stance and cater to your girlfriend.”
His voice grew quieter, and Ji Muye narrowed his eyes in thought, “You can leave now.”
The office returned to silence.
Ji Muye stared at Lu Xining on the family portrait, who looked flawless and tender, pondering.
Seeing the living room full of luxury gift boxes once again, Lu Xining felt a nerve in her brain getting tighter and tighter, about to snap!
Upon learning that all the gifts were sent by people dispatched by Ji Muye, Lu Xining only felt that he was being erratic again.
In the serene CEO’s office, the sound of a pen scratching on paper was clearly audible.
Ji Muye’s phone on the desk vibrated.
He picked up the phone to see the message’s content.
[Lu Xining: Ji Muye, don’t force me to completely cut off ties with you.]
Just then, Yan Dong knocked on the door, his voice tinged with apprehension, “President Ji, the madam has returned everything.”

The expansive top floor was filled with limited edition dresses, handbags, and various pieces of jewelry.
Ji Muye’s fingertips tightened on his phone, his sculpted face as deep as a chasm.
“Dispose of them!”
Two words weighed heavily.
Yan Dong was intimidated by Ji Muye’s chilling gaze and dared not speak. He silently closed the door of the office.
Gazing at the exquisite gift boxes outside the office, he sighed.
With so many valuable things, Yan Dong dared not actually dispose of them. He arranged for them to be sent to an apartment rarely occupied by Ji Muye, filling up an entire room.
Back in the silent office, Ji Muye forced himself to stay calm.
He closed his eyes, trying to focus his thoughts on the document in front of him, yet he couldn’t concentrate on a single word.
Ji Muye stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking Jingzhou’s busiest city scenery.
A pair of cold and profound eyes held a deep complexity. The previously suppressed emotions suddenly surged, and overlapping feelings put him in a very dangerous and tense state.
After a long time, Ji Muye regained his composure and started to deal with work.
That night, he didn’t leave the company, opting to sleep in the office’s resting area.
The next morning.
When Yan Dong came in to collect the processed files, he saw a stack of folders neat as a mountain and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Had his boss finished a week’s work in one night?
Days passed in such busyness, and the summer break of Ji Chao and Ji Ze was also coming to an end.
On the day they started school, Liu Xixi came out of Jingzhou Airport wearing sunglasses and a mask.
Her facial scars hadn’t fully healed, but the degree of similarity between her eyes and Lu Xining’s gave her a lot of confidence.
Liu Xixi couldn’t wait to come back and find Ji Muye. This time, she was determined to take back everything she had lost!
Just as she was waiting for a car, she accidentally bumped into a handsome man.
Liu Xixi was astonished by his good looks the moment she saw his warm features.
She quickly took off her sunglasses to apologize.
The man said it was no problem, but paused when he saw her eyes, “Ningning?”
