550 The Secret About the Past 168 (1/2)
An Xiaoning had no choice but to drop the idea.
Things were progressing much slower than she had imagined.
She only managed to obtain Tuoba Rui's hair samples from Tuoba Shuo a month later. It then took another few days to send the hair samples out of the Autumn Palace for a DNA test to be carried out.
An Xiaoning finally received the results several days later.
An Xiaoning let out a sigh when Jin Qingyan informed her of the test results.
She rarely sighed.
She only ever reacted that way when she felt completely helpless about a truth that can never be changed.
The results proved that she was indeed Tuoba Rui's biological daughter.
It was an undebatable truth.
Although Tuoba Rui was already in his fifties, he was still handsome and suave. One can only imagine how much of a heartthrob he was back in the day.
However, An Xiaoning did not feel like she took after him at all.
Perhaps it was because she bore too strong of a resemblance to her mother.
An Xiaoning was certain that Tuoba Rui must have seen photos of her before. After all, she was the Young Madam of the Jin family and often made it on the news. Besides, there were tons of photos of her on the internet as well.
Has he never been curious about why I look so much like Shi Qingzhou?
If he knows the reason, why has he never come to look for me before?
Could it be that he wanted to bury the truth with the past and never let me find out that I'm his daughter?
An Xiaoning had no idea exactly what the reason was. She did not wish to know either, for she had far more important things to do from now onward.
As for her biological father, she had no plans to acknowledge and reunite with him at all.
She decided not to disrupt his life and intervene, on the account that he already had a wife and children now.
Needless to say, she could already vaguely guess what he had done to her mother.
She put on a short-sleeved chiffon top, a pair of shorts, and a pair of sneakers before heading downstairs.
Tuoba Danxue was leaning against the couch, appearing rather morose. ”Mu Ning, come here and massage my shoulders and head, hurry. I feel like I'm about to faint very soon.”
”Your Highness, did you have a poor night's sleep?” An Xiaoning asked as she walked behind the couch and reached out to massage Tuoba Danxue's shoulders.
”I talked to Minxing over the phone all night long.”
”But don't you usually refrain from calling or using communication platforms?”
”Yes, because my mobile phone is closely monitored, be it phone calls or text messages. But it wouldn't matter since I was chatting with him. Besides, that's what my mother wishes to see anyway,” said Tuoba Danxue.
”Since your mobile phone is being monitored, why don't you just secretly buy another handset?” An Xiaoning asked.
With half-closed eyes, Tuoba Danxue answered, ”It's not that simple.”
”Your Highness, you and Mr. Jin seem to hit it off really well. I think you two are very compatible with each other.”
Tuoba Danxue did not answer, seemingly having sunk deep into a trance.
Noticing that she was no longer moving, An Xiaoning craned her neck to take a look, only to find that she had fallen asleep.
Thus, she stopped massaging her and instead covered her with a blanket.
During breakfast, An Xiaoning had no appetite at all. The food was bland and tasteless to her, although Zhi Yin seemed to be enjoying every bite of it.
An Xiaoning stopped eating altogether after having a few mouthfuls.
Noticing that she did not seem to be eating much, Zhi Yin asked, ”Why aren't you eating anymore?”
”I'm trying to lose weight.”
”You're already skin and bones, what else is there to lose? You're only going to become uglier when you look all shriveled up and scrawny.”
”You really jump at every chance to attack me personally, don't you? I only look thin when I have clothes on and chubbier when I'm naked, unlike you. You look the same from every angle, inside and out. It's such a waste that you're blessed with a pretty face,” An Xiaoning sneered nonchalantly.
