Chapter 24: Xu Fei came to deliver the good news. (3)
See that Lin Xi was still processing the information, Xu Fei added, Boss Gu. Hes back. He will be arriving this afternoon.
Really?! Lin Xi paused for a little bit and then there was joy in her eyes.
Didnt they say 2.5 days? Seemed it had only been 2 days?
Yes, really. It sounded like they were done over there so boss decided to just head back to City B, explained Xu Fei.
As for the details, he would have to start from this morning.
***
The final event for the forum ended this morning.
There was a closing ceremony that the organizer had invited Gu Shao to be a guest speaker.
Gu Shao declined them stating that he had something else that he needed to tend to and departed early from City N.
Gu Shao gave Xu Fei a call from his car ride back.
Boss.
Go arrange for a paternity test, said Gu Shao concisely over the phone.
Hearing that, Xu Fei was taken aback a little at first but then recollected himself quickly. He was even a little bit excited deep down inside. Did the boss decide on having a paternity test because he said the two of them looked alike? Or that he finally recall his crazy days way back when?
Are you done with your conference, Boss?
Mmm.
When will you be back? Xu Fei felt the need to go give Lin Xi the good news.
Lin Xi was taken to the 27th floor of the NTN Technology Center by Xu Fei.
Xu Fei had her waited inside the small conference room but Lin Xi insisted on waiting with him at the elevator lobby on the 27th floor.
Ding
The elevator door opened.
Lin Xi looked up and saw Gu Shao walking out of the elevator.
The second that she saw Gu Shao, Lin Xi reflexively took half a step back.
She quickly put on a bright smile with a hint of fawning when she noticed that Gu Shao was looking at her.
-- Silly,
That was what went through Gu Shaos mind when he was looking at the girl in front of him.
There was, in addition, an almost undetectable surprise that flashed past his eyes.
She was very different than how she looked three days ago. Lin Xi had on a clean set of clothes today and her hair tied back behind her tidily. The only thing that was on her fair face was a silly smile.
Just as Xu Fei had mentioned early over the phone, this girl looked a lot like him.
Gu Shao looked briefly at Lin Xi and turned away.
Lets go, said Gu Shao to Lin Xi before he headed over to the elevator on the other end.
Lin Xi paused and looked over at Xu Fei, baffled.
Didnt you want to have the paternity test done as soon as possible? Xu Fei smiled and gestured for Lin Xi to follow them.
