"What?!"

She sprang up from the yoga mat with a sudden movement, so violently that she knocked over the water glass next to her.

Ignoring everything else, she rushed to Xu Zhesheng, her face deathly pale, her voice trembling: "Zhe, what...what do you mean? You doubt me?"

Xu Zhesheng remained seated calmly on the sofa, looking up at her. His bloodshot eyes held no warmth, only an almost cruel calm: "What's wrong? Why such a strong reaction? Isn't the child mine?"

Su Manman realized that she had lost her composure.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to squeeze out two tears, twisted her waist and sat down next to Xu Zhesheng, wrapped her soft arms around his neck, pressed her slightly sweaty body against him, and gently kissed his cheek with her red lips.

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

Her voice trembled, choked with sobs, as she traced circles on his chest with her fingers. "I...I gave you my first time...Don't you remember that night? I was in so much pain and cried, and you were so worried about me, you kept comforting me..."

Her body was as soft as spring water, carrying the warmth of exercise. In the past, Xu Zhesheng would have softened his heart long ago.

But at that moment, he only felt nauseous.

This woman can even say such things. He was so drunk that night that he only remembered some fragments. When he woke up, he thought the person next to him was Shen Zhiyi. How could he possibly comfort her?

He reached out expressionlessly and pulled her off him with such force that Su Manman staggered.

"Since it's mine, what's wrong with doing a paternity test?"

He stared into her eyes, enunciating each word clearly, "Or... are you feeling guilty?"

Su Manman felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze. She hadn't expected Xu Zhesheng to be such a different person today, relentlessly pursuing her.

She bit her lip, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it, replacing it with an extremely aggrieved expression:

"Ah Zhe, how could you do this to me... I gave birth to your child, almost losing my life, and now you doubt me? Did you hear something from someone? Was it Shen Zhiyi! Did that bitch tell you something?!"

Su Manman suddenly sprang up, her voice rising abruptly to an almost distorted pitch, sharp enough to pierce eardrums:

"She couldn't have a child herself, and she was jealous that I was pregnant with your child, so she deliberately got someone to make a false report to slander me, right?! Ah Zhe, you've been fooled by her so many times, how can you still believe her!"

Xu Zhesheng stared at her coldly, as if watching a poorly executed one-woman show, without uttering a word.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Manman became even more hysterical, tears streaming down her face. She paced back and forth in the ward, shouting incoherently:

"I don't care! That psychiatric evaluation is absolutely unacceptable! If you do it, what will happen to my reputation? People will only look at me with prejudice and think I'm a promiscuous person!"

She whirled around, pointing her finger at Xu Zhesheng's nose, her voice filled with a desperate ruthlessness: "I was already nameless and powerless following you, and now I'm ending up like this... What do you take me for? What do you take the child for?!"

She pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears; her nose and eyes were red and swollen. Gritting her teeth, she threatened, "Anyway, if you insist on doing it, fine. After it's done, I'll take the child abroad, and you'll never see her again!"

After saying that, she turned and sat back down next to Xu Zhesheng, leaning slightly towards him, but glancing sideways at his reaction.

When she was pregnant, Xu Zhesheng would immediately soften whenever she cried, wishing he could hold her in his hands and comfort her.

She counted silently in her mind, one, two, three...

Three seconds passed, and Xu Zhesheng remained motionless.

He crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa, taking in her little thoughts.

Su Manman cried for a long time, until her tears dried up on her face, but he didn't even move a finger, let alone say a word to comfort her.

With no one willing to take on the role, Su Manman's solo performance had to stop.

She jumped up, her voice suddenly turning venomous: "It's all Shen Zhiyi's fault! She's jealous that I gave birth to your child, and she deliberately slandered me in front of you! I'm going to settle the score with her right now!"

She didn't even have time to put on her coat; she rushed to the door in her slippers.

Just as my hand touched the doorknob, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Ouch!"

Zhang Feng rushed up, panting, and the two collided head-on.

Su Manman was weak after giving birth. She was knocked backward and fell to the ground, hitting her tailbone painfully. Her face turned as white as paper instantly.

She clutched her waist, tears welling in her eyes, and looked up at me with a pitiful expression: "Mom...why are you in such a hurry? I just gave birth, how can I withstand you bumping into me like that..."

Zhang Feng acted as if she hadn't heard him, her eyes bloodshot as she stared intently at Su Manman, who had fallen to the ground.

She had already read the test results over and over again, and fearing that she might have misunderstood them, she even asked a nurse to explain the meaning to her. After confirming that the results stated that Su Manman's child and Xu Zhesheng were not related, she was now filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it, which happened to be directed at the person in question.

She grabbed Su Manman's hair and yanked it back hard: "Perfect! You little slut! Tell me right now, is that child you gave birth to really A-Zhe's?!"

Su Manman's scalp tingled from the pulling, and tears streamed down her face from the pain. She reached out to pry Zhang Feng's fingers off, her voice trembling, "Mom... how can you say such nonsense? My dates with A Zhe match up perfectly. Didn't you question me carefully back then?"

She was telling the truth. When Xu Zhesheng brought her back, Zhang Feng did indeed interrogate her for an entire afternoon, checking the timeline, locations, and details over and over again until she was absolutely certain before she believed her.

But Zhang Feng was holding the report stamped with the red seal in her hand, so she couldn't listen to any of this.

She raised her hand and slapped Su Manman across the face with a loud "smack," the crisp sound echoing through the ward.

Su Manman's head snapped to the side after being hit, five finger marks instantly appearing on half her face. She covered her face in disbelief, her eyes wide: "Mom..."

Don't call me Mom!

Zhang Feng trembled with rage, slamming the paternity test report into Su Manman's face, scattering papers on the floor. "Tell me, what's going on here! Whose child is that little bastard you gave birth to?!"

The paper floated lightly to Su Manman's eyes. She reached out, grabbed it, flipped it over, and immediately saw the words on it.

Looking at the paternity test results, Su Manman began to tremble uncontrollably. "No, it can't be, this isn't real..."

As if suddenly realizing something, she threw herself at Xu Zhesheng's legs, grabbing his trouser leg and crying, "Zhe, who did this report with you? This can't be my child, you have to believe me!"

Upon hearing her words, Xu Zhesheng lowered his cold eyes, reached out and pinched her cheeks tightly, asking in a deep voice, "Is that so? Then I'll go and bring the child here now, and do a paternity test. That can't be faked, right?"
