Chapter 378: 383 Husband and Wife United_1

Qin Muchuan looked at her. "You tell me!"

This topic had been rolling around in Lin Xiangwan’s mind countless times, but when it came time to actually say it out loud, she felt sad and pressurized. "Has the paternity test result between you and Duoduo been released?"

These days, he had avoided discussing this issue, hence it kept hanging over him.

Qin Muchuan said calmly: "It will be out the day after tomorrow!"

"Do you think this child is yours?" She was somewhat impatient. "The waiting period for the results has been too long, I can’t bear it, and I think about it every day!"

Qin Muchuan looked at this troubled woman. She was only in her twenties, although more mature than average girls, she was still untouched by life’s hardship. "There are some things, if you only hope for the best, when the result comes out, it will hit you harder."

Lin Xiangwan’s heart fluttered. This was indeed true. "But you must have some kind of feeling, right? I don’t know why, but I always feel Duoduo is not your child!"

"Hehe..." Qin Muchuan just laughed and didn’t ask her why.

Because he didn’t want to know the reason; he didn’t even want to think in that direction.

Lin Xiangwan ignored his indifference, ignored his skepticism, grabbed him, and filled with hope, said, "If Duoduo really is your child, why didn’t she come to find you earlier, why wait so many years later? It’s hard to understand, don’t you think?"

"I’m not sure, and I don’t want to speculate about things I don’t understand," he said.

Lin Xiangwan was extremely disappointed; she couldn’t help but knit her eyebrows and grew anxious. "At least think about it!"

"I know the answer will be out soon!"

Lin Xiangwan suppressed her urgency, refrained from arguing with him, and nodded. "Okay, you’re right."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz...", Qin Muchuan’s phone rang.

As if inflicted by a curse, Lin Xiangwan’s heart paused, she immediately reacted. "It must be Zhou Ziqing, right?"

Qin Muchuan glanced at the phone, didn’t answer her, but his eyes were filled with guilt. He unintentionally turned his body away from her. "Hello!"

Even if she hadn’t heard the voice on the other end, Lin Xiangwan had already guessed, and her guess was accurate.

"Muchuan, Duoduo is missing you. She’s so homesick that she won’t eat. Can you come to see her?" Zhou Ziqing said in a panic, expressing her concern for her daughter.

Qin Muchuan’s face turned gloomy. "I’ve said before, let’s wait until the child’s DNA report is out!"

"But the report won’t be out until the day after tomorrow. If we keep waiting like this, won’t Duoduo starve to death?" Zhou Ziqing raised her voice in haste. "Muchuan, I’m not using the child as an excuse to ask you to come over. Really, I’m not that mean. I’m helpless!"

Her voice was weak and anxious, it truly sounded like a mother who was worried for her child, stirring worry in the listeners’ hearts. Even Lin Xiangwan, who merely overheard, felt a surge of motherly tenderness.

It seemed as if Qin Muchuan would face fierce criticism if he refused to go.

Still, Qin Muchuan calmly said, "That’s your problem. Legally speaking, Duoduo is not my responsibility yet. Moreover, not eating is not life-threatening; find a solution yourself!"

"Muchuan, I am aware, but don’t these solutions take some time? To change Duoduo’s behaviour needs time too, right? We can’t expect immediate results, right?" Zhou Ziqing was really making her point every sentence.

It really made one hesitate to utter a word of refusal.

Lin Xiangwan saw Qin Muchuan’s dilemma, and she too felt a prick of conscience.

So, before Qin Muchuan could say anything, she took the initiative to say, "Qin Muchuan, you go. Zhou Ziqing’s house is closer from here. I will go with you!"

Qin Muchuan was still upset, and was reluctant to accept. "Right now, I really should refuse. Until the court makes a decision, I do not have this obligation!"

Lin Xiangwan bitterly smiled, "I like Duoduo too. Stop bringing up the law; we should show children some love. Let’s go together, okay?"

Qin Muchuan was really touched by Lin Xiangwan’s generosity. "Okay, let’s go together!"

The journey from this hotel to Zhou Ziqing’s apartment is about thirty minutes. This distance is quite close in such a huge city.

The car slowed down and finally stopped.

Qin Muchuan and Lin Xiangwan stepped into the narrow and dark residential area and climbed the stairs in darkness.

Zhou Ziqing, hearing the knock at the door, eagerly opened it and excitedly called, "Muchuan, you’re here!"

But, seeing Lin Xiangwan behind him, her happy smile froze on her face.

Perhaps because Qin Muchuan was present, she gave a light nod to Lin Xiangwan.

Lin Xiangwan also glanced at her without adding more words!

What else do you say during such a confrontation? Especially after previous showdowns!

Zhou Ziqing shifted her attention and energy back to Qin Muchuan, anxiously saying, "I cooked pumpkin rice for the child. It’s quite delicious with veggies mixed in, but she refused to eat, insisting on seeing her dad!"

Lin Xiangwan followed them into the bedroom, and sure enough, when Duoduo saw Qin Muchuan, she raised her hands high and kept yelling, "Daddy, Daddy..."

Even if he wasn’t sure, even if there wasn’t any legal proof, how could Qin Muchuan refuse this child?

He walked over and began holding Duoduo’s little hand.

The child’s hand was a bit dirty, sticky and black.

Lin Xiangwan noticed this and promptly took out the wipes placed nearby. "Wipe her hands, if this filth gets inside her stomach, she might get worms!"

Qin Muchuan took it and carefully wiped Duoduo’s hand.

Zhou Ziqing, who brought over the rice, said awkwardly, "Today the nanny had to leave early due to some personal matters. When I came back, I had to cook and clean up the house; I was extremely busy. I did wipe her hands earlier, but who knew they’d be dirty so fast!"

Lin Xiangwan really wanted to say that wiping hands was a simple task that could be finished in two or three seconds. And it’s an important task, how could you overlook it?

But saying it now would only stir up a fight. She came here not to fight, so it was better left unsaid.

Suddenly, a trail of unpleasant smell entered Lin Xiangwan’s nostrils. It was faint, but clearly detectable.

Once it was perceived, it felt quite intense. "What smells so bad?" She said aloud, tracing the origin of the smell.

She carefully lifted the blanket and saw that the mattress underneath already had dried feces stains.
