After Becoming a Merman, I Became a Heartthrob 44

Chapter 44: Getting a Paternity Test

When Chi Xiasheng returned to his room after dinner, Little Black was lying on the bed, looking out the window.

The window of this room happened to overlook the neighbor’s small villa, which also had the same two-story structure.

“What are you looking at, Little Black? That’s someone else’s house. Do you want to go out and play?”

Chi Xiasheng walked over and also looked in the direction of Little Black’s gaze.

Under the moonlight, the small house opposite seemed to have an added sense of peace and gentleness.

Sheng Sheng was looking at that house because it was his home.

He never expected to move right next to his own house, separated only by a small path.

But before his thoughts could wander, Little Black suddenly smelled another scent on Chi Xiasheng.

In an instant, his face darkened. But since he was already quite dark, Chi Xiasheng didn’t notice that he was angry and continued to rub his little head.

Shaking Chi Xiasheng’s hand off his head, Sheng Sheng jumped off the bed in a huff, leaped onto the windowsill, and barked at him.

“Awoof!”

Did you pet another dog?!

Why do you have the scent of another dog on you?

Isn’t having me enough? You actually went to pet another dog. This is something Little Black cannot tolerate!

Seeing Little Black jump onto the windowsill, Chi Xiasheng was startled and quickly went forward to try to carry him down.

“Little Black, why did you jump up there? Come down quickly. What if you fall?”

The windowsill was more than a meter from the ground. A small puppy would definitely be half-dead if it fell. After all, dogs were different from cats. Their jumping ability was not as strong, and they had no buffer when falling from a height, making them more prone to injury.

But Little Black refused. He stood on the windowsill, a small, pitch-black figure, with only his eyes glowing yellow. His fur was slightly raised, as if he were about to pounce on you in the next moment.

He had to find out today if Chi Xiasheng was raising another dog behind his back!

Jumping down from the window, Little Black’s figure immediately blended into the night.

Chi Xiasheng quickly looked out the window, anxiously calling his name.

Little Black’s nose was very sensitive. He had only smelled it once on Chi Xiasheng, but he had already remembered the scent of the other dog.

Following the scent, he ran all the way to Su Chimian’s villa and landed lightly on top of a doghouse.

“Woof!”

The white Samoyed saw the pitch-black Little Black and tilted its head, barking at the little thing in confusion.

Little Black looked at this ball of white fluff and frowned.

Chi Xiasheng likes white?

But I’m…

Sheng Sheng looked down at his fur, which was almost one with the night, and his mood suddenly worsened.

But then he thought, it was childish of him to be bickering with a dog that hadn’t even gained intelligence. His mood was as tangled as a ball of yarn, complicated and messy.

Taking a deep breath, Sheng Sheng felt that his recent behavior had been too abnormal. He was dazed and felt as if he were being controlled by someone else, not at all like himself.

As expected, I can’t stay around a merman for too long, Sheng Sheng thought with a dark face.

Just as he was thinking, Chi Xiasheng had already searched the bushes behind the window but still couldn’t find any trace of Little Black.

He was worried. This was not the first time Little Black had run away.

Chi Xiasheng searched for most of the night. The next morning, he woke up with two dark circles under his eyes and went to have breakfast, which startled the yawning Wen Nian.

“Xiaxia, did you get beaten up? Your eyes are so dark.”

Chi Xiasheng shook his head weakly. “My dog ran away.”

Pei Zhixuan had already dressed and was about to go to his schedule. Hearing this, he remembered the little black dog and comforted him, “Dogs know their home. He’s probably just excited about the new place. He’ll probably be back in a couple of days.”

Chi Xiasheng sighed and nodded. “I hope so.”

“Don’t you have something to do, Xiaxia?” Seeing that he was still absent-minded, Pei Zhixuan decided to change the subject.

Only then did Chi Xiasheng remember that he was planning to get another paternity test. He quickly nodded. “I’ll go to the hospital after breakfast.”

Pei Zhixuan was, after all, a top-tier celebrity. When he had first entered the industry ten years ago, he didn’t know much and had contributed most of the money he earned to the company. The rest of the money had been spent on buying a house. Now that he had two younger brothers to support, he naturally had to work more, so he probably didn’t have time to accompany Chi Xiasheng.

“Can you go by yourself?” Pei Zhixuan’s expression was a little worried, and his movements unconsciously slowed down.

Chi Xiasheng nodded. “I’ve done it once before. Don’t worry, Brother Pei. You should go to work.”

“Yes, go to work!” Wen Nian, the copycat, also quickly said. “I’ll go with Xiaxia!”

Pei Zhixuan thought to himself, It’s because you’re with him that I’m not at ease.

After leaving, Pei Zhixuan still called Wen Shu and asked her to help keep an eye on things.

Wen Shu was soaking in a wooden tub with Bai Ranran, steaming away the excess toxins in her body. Hearing Pei Zhixuan’s words, she, who didn’t know the situation, immediately agreed.

“Don’t worry. I’ll pick Xiaxia up when I’m done here. I’ll let him experience this beauty treatment too. It’s quite useful.”

Pei Zhixuan knew at once that Wen Shu had no idea what was going on and could only rub his head and say “hmm.”

After hanging up, Pei Zhixuan thought to himself, It seems I still have to worry about this family!

A black nanny van was already parked at the entrance of the villa. As Pei Zhixuan was about to get in, he caught a glimpse of a man coming out of the villa on the left.

Sheng Sheng?!!

Pei Zhixuan stopped getting into the car and met Sheng Sheng’s gaze from a distance. Both of them had their own thoughts.

Sheng Sheng: Annoyed. Chi Xiasheng doesn’t like black.

Pei Zhixuan: Not good. Sheng Sheng actually lives next door! He’s definitely going to seduce my cub!

Both of them had a heavy stone in their hearts. They looked away, got into their cars, and went into their houses.

After finishing his breakfast and packing his things, Chi Xiasheng led Wen Nian out of the community and took a taxi to the hospital.

This was the same hospital that Sheng Sheng had brought him to before.

More than a year ago, he had also done a paternity test here.

In this private hospital, you didn’t have to worry about your private information being leaked. Without your permission, all the tests you had done and the blood samples you had saved would be well-sealed and could only be taken out by you in person.

When he had done the paternity test before, he had happened to have an extra blood sample of Su Chengjian saved here.

He had almost forgotten about this, but he never expected that it would be useful one day.

He went to the lobby and followed the guide nurse into a private reception room. After explaining his needs, he just had to wait patiently.

Before the nurse left, Chi Xiasheng thought for a moment and then took out something else. “I’ll do one more paternity test.”

This was a strand of hair with a follicle that Su Chimian had dropped yesterday. Chi Xiasheng had collected it and planned to have it tested as well.

Because of Father Su’s attitude towards him and the vague things he had said before, Chi Xiasheng always felt that the truth was not as simple as being switched at birth.

He didn’t believe that in a life-and-death situation, Father Su would really abandon his biological son to save a fake one.

Even if he had deep feelings for the fake son, it was impossible to not have any hesitation.

Su Chengjian was a businessman, and his biggest trait was that he would not do a losing business. Therefore, Chi Xiasheng was sure that there must be something else he didn’t know.

After instructing the nurse, he sat on the sofa and took a nap.

Seeing this, Wen Nian didn’t bother him and wandered around the room by himself, having a good time.

Mother Su had had a nightmare all night. She was woken up early in the morning by the sound of a dog barking. She rubbed her temples and went downstairs in a bad mood.

In the dining room, Su Chimian and Su Jinfeng were already sitting at the table, waiting.

“Mom, did you not sleep well last night? Let me give you a head massage.”

Seeing his mother’s tired face, Su Chimian proactively stood behind her and massaged her temples.

Mother Su did not refuse and just patted his hand with a gratified expression. “Mianmian has grown up. He knows how to share Mom’s worries now.”

Su Chimian giggled. “I grew up a long time ago. And I’m also very happy to give Mom a head massage.”

Mother Su let out a long sigh. “Just a little while is fine. Sit down and eat. Why is Jinfeng here today? Is the company not busy?”

It was rare for Su Jinfeng to be able to eat with his family. He had also been learning to handle more corporate matters recently and was so busy his feet were barely touching the ground. It was quite rare to see him sitting here this morning.

“It’s alright. I wanted to have a meal with you.”

Su Jinfeng was very filial to his mother. After speaking, he placed a bowl of porridge next to her.

Looking at her two considerate and mature children, Mother Su sighed, feeling that no matter how hard she worked, it was worth it.

Su Chimian also sat down. As he was drinking his porridge, he suddenly remembered something and looked up. “I saw Chi Xiasheng move into this community yesterday. How did he have the money to move here?”

Hearing Chi Xiasheng’s name, the warm atmosphere instantly turned cold.

The atmosphere at the dining table was as if it had been frozen. No one spoke for a while.

Hearing the news, Su Jinfeng was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyes and quietly drank his soup.

With their current relationship, he had no right to interfere in Chi Xiasheng’s affairs. They had truly become more distant than strangers.

Mother Su’s expression was much more serious. She thought of the person she had seen yesterday, and her eyes darkened.

As soon as breakfast was over, she called to inquire about Chi Xiasheng’s recent activities.

When she learned that he had gone to the hospital for a paternity test, her blood pressure shot up, and her vision went black. She almost fainted.

“Delay him for a while. I’ll be right there!”
