Chapter 2255 - 39: One-Night Stand with Shen

It’s just that the call hasn’t ended, he knows he still holds the phone tightly, his father can’t take it away.

Afraid that Xiaojiu isn’t fully asleep, she sings softly, tirelessly.

Shen You listens beside her, her voice is too clean and ethereal; listening to it, even his mood calms down.

After a long while, Ye Ming’s voice is heard, Ye Bai responds with an "mm", "Dad, send me a photo of Xiaojiu."

Ye Ming agrees with an "okay", takes a picture of Xiaojiu sound asleep, and sends it to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai sits there, staring at the phone screen for a long time.

Shen You watches from the side, noticing she’s been silent for a long while, "Missing Xiaojiu?"

Ye Bai finally looks up and nods at Shen You.

Shen You looks at Ye Bai, who is suddenly tinged with a trace of sorrow, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Ye Bai says, "Shen You, do you think I’m too ruthless?"

Shen You looks at Ye Bai, saying nothing.

Ye Bai mutters to herself, "He’s so attached to me, and he’s not that young anymore. My dad and I want to take this opportunity to help him become more independent."

Shen You speaks up from the side, "You’re doing it for Xiaojiu’s good."

Ye Bai looks at Shen You, feeling much comforted, glances at the time, "I’ll go to sleep first."

Shen You still wants to look at the photo of Xiaojiu asleep.

He looks at Ye Bai, pauses for a few seconds, and suddenly has an idea, "I also have a photo of a kid on my phone who looks a lot like Xiaojiu. Want to see?"

Ye Bai, initially uninterested, perks up at Shen You’s words and looks at him with interest, "Really?"

Shen You picks up his phone, finds an old photo from his childhood.

Ye Bai sits at the head of the bed, leans close to Shen You, her eyes focused on his phone screen, widening them in surprise.

It really is true!

It’s not just very similar; it’s almost identical!

"Who...who is this?"

Shen You, "An old photo I found online."

Ye Bai stares at the photo; it indeed looks old, judging by the clothes.

Could it be Xiaojiu’s father?

But she doesn’t even know how she got pregnant, and she’s never met such a man!

Shen You sits there, watching Ye Bai.

She’s so close to him, her hair brushes against her face.

On impulse, he lightly kisses her strand of hair.

Ye Bai, oblivious, continues staring at the photo.

She wants to find something that doesn’t match, but discovers Xiaojiu and the photo are like they were made from the same mold.

Suddenly, she looks up, accidentally hitting Shen You’s chin with her forehead, "Sorry."

Shen You rubs his chin, "It’s fine."

Ye Bai looks at Shen You for a long time before quietly asking, "Do you think he could be Xiaojiu’s father?"

Shen You pauses, shakes his head, "I don’t know either, but do you want to find Xiaojiu’s father?"

Ye Bai sits there, staying silent for a long time.

Does she want to?

She doesn’t know!

Seeing Ye Bai silent for a long time, Shen You gently speaks, "Go to bed early."

Ye Bai nods, leaves the ward with a heavy heart, lies in the lounge, unable to sleep for a long time, her mind filled with the photo identical to Xiaojiu.

Is there really someone in the world who looks so much alike?

After a while, she texts Shen You, "Send me that old photo."

Shen You sends it to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai opens the photo, comparing it with Xiaojiu’s, and it’s just like the same person!

Considering how big the aristocratic family is, non-blood-related people can also look very alike; otherwise, why would so many find lookalikes!

Thinking this, her mood improves a lot, and she doesn’t want to ponder over headache-inducing matters anymore, so she closes her eyes.

But what if he truly is Xiaojiu’s biological father?

After a pause, she contacts Huo Jinnan, "Help me investigate this person."
