I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 25 – This is for my living expenses.
(1) 

Luo Xiu was waiting to go with Gu Shao to have a paternity test done but she didn’t think that they would be doing that right here at the NTN Technology Center.
They didn’t even need to leave the building to have it done.

Lin Xi followed Gu Shao to the 9th floor.

Different from the office building on the top, this floor was filled with all sorts of electronic technologies and research and development departments.

Lin Xi was dazzled by all of them.

Knowing that Lin Xi had an interest in these, Xu Fei made introductions to her in a low voice.
“This floor consists mainly of electronic departments that have to do with biotechnology including development of medical devices, remote treatment systems, and biochips.
A more commonly-known one is electronic medical records that had recently hit the market.
Have you heard of it?”

Yes!

Lin Xi’s eyes beamed and she nodded.

Xu Fei wasn’t even done talking yet and they have already arrived at the foremost laboratory labelled “DNA-Biochip”.
The apparatus in there looked more high-tech than the best hospital that Lin Xi had been to in the past.

As Xu Fei had already contacted them ahead of time, the machine and equipment for sampling were already ready to go.

The process of blood drawn was fast and much less complicated than Lin Xi had imagined.

“Okay, we are done collecting the samples.
We will start on the testing right away,” said the technician who took the samples to Gu Shao.
And, at the same time, they couldn’t help but looked over at Lin Xi, the girl rumored to be the boss’s child.
She certainly looked like she could be his daughter.

“How long will it take?” asked Gu Shao.

Lin Xi, too, perked up her ears – she thought they would say 1-2 days but the person said, “About 10 minutes or so.”

Lin Xi, “… …” That’s how long it takes to have a paternity test done?

Seeing the surprised look on Lin Xi, Xu Fei smiled and explained to her, “Our machines here are on the leading edge of technology and much more advanced than many on the market.
As such, testing, evaluations, and results are much faster here.

“Plus, we do not need to worry about errors.
This machine is much accurate than those on the market as well.”

Lin Xi nodded.

To one side, Gu Shao first raised his brows, then frowned as he watched Xu Fei interacting with Lin Xi.
He had only been gone for two days and Lin Xi seemed to have already grown on Xu Fei.

Feeling the look from his boss, Xu Fei shuddered inexplicable and stopped with the explanation.

“Boss, I can wait here if you need to go.
I will bring the result upstairs to you when it’s ready,” said Xu Fei.

“Bring it to my office,” said Gu Shao as he turned and leave.

Lin Xi followed him without being asked.

***

Lin Xi followed closely behind Gu Shao back to his office.

Gu Shao started going through the documents that had been piled up in the last couple of days and Lin Xi stood in the same spot, not knowing what to do with herself.

“Em… Dad, uh, Boss Gu?” Lin Xi called out to Gu Shao and he looked up.

“Can I sit over there?” Lin Xi pointed at the couch to one side.
It was kind of strange standing there in the middle of his office.

“Sure.”

“Thank you.” She didn’t care whether Gu Shao was still listening to her.
She walked over to the couch after thanking him.

Sitting down on the couch properly, Lin Xi looked around the office.
It was very big but nothing stood out about it.
Much like Gu Shao, it was cold.

***

Gu Shao focused on the documents on his desk and didn’t pay the girl much attention.

Truth was, he wouldn’t know what to say.

It was until he had finished reading all the documents from the past two days before he looked up at the very quiet Lin Xi.

Lin Xi, sitting on the couch, was no longer sitting properly as she was a while ago.
She had her feet resting on the edge of the couch and they were swaying from side to side.
She looked bored.

— No form.

Was Gu Shao’s comment about her in his mind.

Then, Xu Fei knocked and walked into the office with the result of the paternity test that was fresh off the press.

“Boss, we’ve got the result here,” said Xu Fei as he handed the report over to Gu Shao.
