Chapter 223: 223 Boss Gu’s Hair_1

Seaview Villa.

Lu Qingyi leaned lazily on the sofa, while Li Xiyi sat across from her, sipping her coffee and looking at Lu Qingyi helplessly.

"You’re just so... indifferent about everything."

Li Xiyi looked at Lu Qingyi, took a big sip of coffee, and then slowly started speaking.

In all the time she’d known Lu Qingyi, she had never seen her anxious about anything. She was always so nonchalant.

Even when faced with death, she wouldn’t bat an eyelid, maintaining her casual demeanor.

"I have confidence in myself."

Lu Qingyi reached for the milk on the table. The milk had gone cold.

Xu Boyan would heat the milk for her.

All of a sudden, she saw Xu Boyan’s face in her mind.

Li Xiyi: "..."

Okay. That’s the kind of self-confidence that a boss possessed.

"Are you planning to meet in-person?"

Li Xiyi shifted her position and changed the subject.

"I don’t mind."

Lu Qingyi’s expression was indifferent.

Whether to meet or not, she didn’t really care; she had just found it troublesome before.

Li Xiyi: "..."

She didn’t feel like talking anymore.

"Look into the matter of virgin birth."

Lu Qingyi glanced at Li Xiyi, a member of Xingying, and spoke.

She found it a bit odd now, but she didn’t feel like digging into it.

Gu Yansi didn’t look like his biological parents at all but bore a striking resemblance to Lu Jiahao. And Lu Jiahao’s features were very much similar to Lu Yao’s. In other words, Gu Yansi and Lu Yao looked incredibly alike.

Was it a coincidence?

Lu Qingyi didn’t quite believe it.

There couldn’t be so many coincidences in the world.

"Pah, virgin birth?"

Li Xiyi spat out her coffee in surprise, looking at Lu Qingyi in disbelief, her lip twitching.

Virgin birth?

Was Lu Qingyi not joking with her?

How could there possibly be a virgin birth in this world? Without the union of sperm and egg, how could a baby be conceived?

Li Xiyi knew that Lu Qingyi was Doctor L, but she had never heard of the concept of virgin birth and Lu Qingyi hadn’t mentioned it before.

If the boss hadn’t touched on the subject, she might have ignored the possibility of virgin birth entirely because it seemed so unrealistic.

"Wipe it up."

Lu Qingyi disdainfully pulled out a few tissues and tossed them to Li Xiyi.

"Qingyi, are you sure virgin birth can actually occur in this world?"

Li Xiyi wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at Lu Qingyi with wide eyes.

"I’m not certain, that’s why I’m asking you to research it."

Lu Qingyi gently shook her head.

Li Xiyi: "..."

If she wasn’t sure, why should she look into it?

"I have a case of successful virgin birth."

Lu Qingyi leisurely picked up her phone and sent a file to Li Xiyi. After putting the phone down, she gently closed her eyes.

The medical world was abuzz with the existence of virgin birth. She did have a file on successful cases of virgin birth, but there were no specifics on the process.

A notification rang on her phone and Li Xiyi picked it up. She looked over and over again at the document Lu Qingyi had sent over, bewildered.

"Okay, I’ll look it up."

Li Xiyi put down the phone and went into Lu Qingyi’s room.

Lu Qingyi nodded, slightly closing her eyes.

It was about time she looked into the matter of virgin birth.

What was the connection between Gu Yansi, Lu Jiahao, Lu Jiayue, Yao Meishu, Lu Yao, her aunt, her boss, and herself?

She had investigated before; Yao Meishu had only been pregnant twice, the first was a girl, and the second, twins.

Hence, Gu Yansi couldn’t possibly be the lost child of Lu Yao and Yao Meishu.

So, who was Gu Yansi?

She did not believe that Gu Yansi could be the son of her aunt and boss because they did not look alike at all.

As a doctor, she could tell the difference.

"Xiyi, if you’re hungry at noon, order takeaway. I’m stepping out for awhile."

Lu Qingyi opened the door of the room and dropped a sentence before turning to leave the Seaview Villa.

——

"Oh, Qingyi, how come you’re here alone this time?"

The sight of the young girl appearing in the doorway brought a smile to the boss’s face.

It wasn’t a weekend, nor was it lunchtime yet. There were only a handful of customers in the store, and the boss was sweeping the leaves at the entrance.

"He’s a bit busy, I didn’t want to bother him."

Lu Qingyi replied, then walked up to the boss.

"Career is indeed more important for young people."

The boss nodded.

"Boss, I’m a bit curious. How long has this Happy Hot Pot shop been open?"

Lu Qingyi looked up at the signboard and posed the question slowly.

She hadn’t paid much attention to the hot pot shop in her previous visits. Looking closely now, it seemed to have been refurbished many times and looked quite old.

"Eighteen years."

The boss stopped his sweeping, looked up at the signboard, and sighed.

He was forty-three this year, not quite old yet. But he had already been running this hot pot shop for eighteen years, since he was twenty-five.

Happy Hot Pot.

Happy, happy, happy, he just hoped that he and his beloved girl could always be happy together.

Now, things had indeed turned out as he wished. Although he didn’t earn much, it was enough to live on. Life wasn’t extravagant, but it was filled with love and tranquility.

When he was young, he pursued fame and fortune, and wanted to earn a high salary so he could buy things for the girl he loved.

Now, he has decided that all of those things don’t matter. What’s important is, he and her are still together.

"I’m actually quite curious. You graduated from the mathematics department at Hardrick University. Why didn’t you go for easy and high-paying jobs, and instead chose to open a hot pot shop?"

Lu Qingyi was confused by the boss’s actions. Twenty-five was the prime age for making a career. What made the boss give up everything and open a hot pot shop in this somewhat remote corner?

"Personal preference."

The boss chuckled, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Lu Qingyi frowned slightly. She felt that the boss’s expression was a bit odd, like he was hiding something.

"Boss, there’s a white hair on your head."

Lu Qingyi made an offhanded remark and quickly reached out to pluck the white hair from the boss’s head.

The boss instinctively took a step back, but Lu Qingyi managed to get the hair nonetheless.

"White hair."

Lu Qingyi held up the hair in front of the boss, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth.

"I’m growing old."

The boss slowly shook his head and walked back into the shop with the broom.

Lu Qingyi took a tissue out of her pocket, wrapped the plucked white hair in it, put it in her pocket.
