School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 445 - 446: Like a Hedgehog

In the apartment, the assistant was reporting the investigation results to Jiang Yu.

"Mr. Jiang, according to the investigation, Ms. Shen Tan has been raising two children on her own, and nobody in the neighborhood has ever seen the children’s father."

"Additionally, the children are twins, just turned six years old this year. However, I have seen their birth certificates, and only the mother’s information is there; the father’s section is left blank."

Jiang Yu suddenly looked at the assistant, "What did you just say, how old are the children?"

"They just celebrated their sixth birthday last month and are currently in kindergarten," the assistant repeated.

She clearly said last time that the children were only five.

But the assistant’s investigation indicated that the children were already six.

And he had left six years and eight months ago.

Did that mean, when he left, she was already two months pregnant?

What did this imply?

Thinking of those two children made Jiang Yu’s heart no longer calm.

He then instructed the assistant, "Find a way to get the DNA of those two children and also help me do a paternity test."

"Okay." The assistant looked at him with surprise but asked nothing.

Executing the boss’s orders without asking unnecessary questions is the foremost professional ethic of an assistant.

The next morning, Shen Tan left with the two children for the home market.

Just as they exited the elevator, she saw Jiang Yu standing at the apartment building’s entrance.

She didn’t know how long he had been there, but there were numerous cigarette butts at his feet.

Shen Tan frowned slightly and gripped the little hands of her children tighter, planning to pretend she didn’t see him and walk past him when she heard a hoarse voice call out:

"Ah Tan!"

Shen Tan abruptly pursed her lips; it had been a long time since anyone had called her that. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

She wanted to pretend she didn’t hear and was about to leave with the children when she heard Shen Ning, the little girl, tug at her hand and whisper, "Mom, I think that uncle is calling you."

Shen Tan: "You heard wrong!"

"Oh!" The little girl couldn’t help but look back in Jiang Yu’s direction.

She felt she hadn’t misheard; the uncle had indeed been calling her mom.

The next second, she saw Jiang Yu stand up straight and walk towards the three of them, saying, "Ah Tan, I’d like to talk to you."

Shen Tan abruptly looked up, her whole body exuding defensiveness and resistance: "I don’t think there’s anything between us worth discussing. Given our past relationship, it’s best if we act like strangers or pretend we don’t see each other when we meet on the street."

Jiang Yu: "I heard you’ve been raising two children by yourself?"

"That’s my business and none of yours." Shen Tan looked at him warily, "Jiang Yu, I remember we agreed to go our separate ways and act as if we never knew each other. Yet you keep appearing in front of me; what exactly do you want?"

At this moment, she resembled a hedgehog, bristling with spines.

Jiang Yu looked at her, his heart conflicted: "I just want to know if I am the father of the children?"

Shen Tan’s heart panicked instantly; she didn’t know how Jiang Yu had come to suspect, but she absolutely couldn’t admit it.

Her hands clenched at her sides unconsciously as she tried to maintain her composure, "You’re overthinking it; they are children I had with another man, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Then why has no one ever seen the children’s father?"

Shen Tan: "Can’t it be that the children’s father is dead?"

"Ah Tan..." Jiang Yu looked at her with a complex expression.

Just as he was about to say something, Shen Tan suddenly interrupted him loudly.
