Ten minutes later...
The Lamborghini slowed to a stop in the courtyard of another residence.
This was the home of Shen Yi, his private physician and one of the few men Jing Ting trusted implicitly.
After handing over the samples, Jing Ting settled onto a sofa to wait, his mind once again drifting to the night he'd spent with that woman seven years ago...
Recalling certain details, he ran a long finger over the bridge of his nose as a strange, inexplicable heat coiled in his gut.
Another ten minutes passed.
Shen Yi emerged, clad in a white lab coat, and handed him two reports. "The results are in, Mr. Jing."
Jing Ting took them, his sharp gaze skimming the pages before landing on the final line: a 99.9999999% match.
What had been mere speculation was now hard proof. A flicker of something shifted in Jing Ting’s composure—a trace of surprise, a hint of bewilderment.
Shen Yi had been just as stunned by the results.
Everyone knew Mr. Jing was a man of ascetic discipline, famous for his zero-tolerance policy on scandals and the cold, detached air he always wore.
Who could possibly have gotten close enough to him to bear his child?
"Thanks." Jing Ting clapped him lightly on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Staring at the departing figure, Shen Yi remained lost in thought for a long time.
My God.
This was explosive.
The Lamborghini headed for Jade Bay.
Clutching the two paternity tests, Jing Ting found his thoughts returning to that night seven years ago, to the woman who was either incredibly unlucky or impossibly fortunate.
He had deliberately left a ring for her, but she had never come to find him.
That alone convinced him she was different.
This woman, Li Mi, was the only one who had ever been so close to him without eliciting a shred of revulsion. It was a phenomenon even he couldn't explain.
He took out his phone, dialed a number, and gave a low-voiced command: "I need you to run a check on a woman named Li Mi. She’s in Sunshine Village. I want everything you can find on her."
On the drive home, Jing Ting processed and finally accepted the reality of his children's existence.
The first thing he did upon returning to the villa was to replace the smartwatches on his children's wrists with the latest, coolest models.
With their old watches turned off and without a signal, the woman would surely panic. And she would come for them.
Sunshine Village.
Li Mi lay in bed, sleep eluding her. She was now sulking under the cherry blossom tree, tormenting its beautiful pink blossoms, tearing off the petals one by one as if she were tearing Jing Ting himself apart.
Memories of the past six years with her children flooded her mind, and her eyes welled with tears.
How could she possibly accept that the treasures of her heart had been snatched away just like that?
She had just tried calling their smartwatches, only to find them turned off. Those little traitors! The second they found their father, they forgot all about their mother!
They had promised never to turn them off. Unless... they were forced to!
Forced?
The thought flashed through her mind again, leading her to a terrifying conclusion: Jing Ting wasn't planning on bringing them back.
"Wu Jun!" she cried out in a panic, shouting towards the bamboo house. "I'm going into the city! I'm leaving now!"
"Master! Don't be rash! Just wait a little longer!"
"I can't wait any longer!"
Driven by impulse, Li Mi rushed into the city. She reasoned he wouldn't take the children to his company; they had to be at Jade Bay.
He was their father, after all, and she knew exactly where he lived.
But as she tried to calm herself, a new wave of panic washed over her. What if the children refused to leave with her? What if Jing Ting wouldn't let them go? This was his territory; he would have an army of people on his side.
She couldn't think of a more reliable plan than to steal them back.
Yes. Steal them.
At Jade Bay, inside the vast, crystalline villa.
Jing Ting formally introduced the children to the butler and the household staff.
"Welcome, Master Zhanzhan. Welcome, Miss Duoduo."
Lined up in a row, the staff bowed respectfully to the children, their hearts filled with genuine joy for Mr. Jing and for the entire Jing family.
