After Lin Qing asked that question, Lin Bai and the rest became stunned as well. Having believed in their hearts that Xiao Xuan was no longer alive, they hadn’t thought of this possibility.
It wasn’t that they didn’t trust Boss, but the possibility of Xiao Xuan being alive was very low.
They knew very well what sort of people those kidnappers were. Even if Xiao Xuan was lucky enough to escape or was saved by some kind-hearted people, they would have had a clue by now after so many years.
Boss refused to give up on looking for Xiao Xuan and they put in a lot of effort into looking as well, but after dispatching so many people to search, they found not a single clue.
In Lin Bai and the others’ hearts, Xiao Xuan was long gone.
But they didn’t dare to tell their Boss about their guess, as they were afraid that he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Perhaps Yun Huan had also guessed this but just didn’t dare to believe it.
Hence, when Lin Qing brought it up, Lin Bai and the others couldn’t help but feel a little hopeful.
That’s right, Qin Yi’s similarity with Xiao Xuan’s situation was a little too coincidental. Further, they’d come all the way from the capital to S-City only because they finally received a clue that Xiao Xuan might be here.
Could it be that Qiqi (Yiyi) might really be Xiao Xuan? This question surfaced in Lin Bai and the others’ minds.
After Lin Qing asked that question, he looked carefully at Qin Yi then felt somewhat annoyed. What sort of question was he asking? If Qin Yi’s parents didn’t tell Qin Yi, then she definitely wouldn’t know about her origins, right?
If only they could visit a hospital; the best way to ascertain the truth was to perform a paternity test.
Qin Yi simply wanted to laugh. She didn’t expect Lin Qing to actually think that she was Yun Huan’s sibling, and judging by Lin Bai and the others’ expressions, they seemed to share the same sentiments.
She lifted her brows and smirked. “Yes and no.”
Qin Mian was indeed her father, but Sun Zhilan wasn’t her mother. She was just a shameful illegitimate daughter.
When Lin Qing heard Qin Yi’s answer, he became extremely excited. To his understanding, Qin Yi meant that she wasn’t her parents’ biological child but was adopted.
Lin Qing rubbed his hands and grinned as he made preparations to interrogate Qin Yi further. However, Qin Yi directly poured cold water on that idea and extinguished all of his fantasies.
“Put that thought out of your head. It’s impossible for me to be Xiao Xuan. I’m an illegitimate child, and having done a paternity test before, I’m certain of it.”
She had indeed taken a paternity test before. Previously, Qin Mian refused to accept her existence and thought that her mother was trying to cheat him, so he deliberately had a paternity test with someone he knew.
In the end, the results showed that she was his biological daughter. Regardless of whether she was Qin Mian’s daughter, it was still impossible for her to be Xiao Xuan because she was a girl. How could she be Yun Huan’s younger brother?
Lin Qing was very disappointed when he heard this answer, but they weren’t surprised when learning that she was an illegitimate child.
There was heartache in Lin Bai’s eyes. He didn’t understand why Qin Yi appeared so malnourished; everything made sense now.
Lin Qing twirled his straight hair around his fingers and mumbled, “How could it be? They look so alike. How could he not be Xiao Xuan?”
Seeing Lin Qing’s lingering doubts, Qin Yi pursed her lips and debated on whether or not to reveal her female identity. Otherwise, this bunch wouldn’t stop thinking that she was Xiao Xuan.
With so much having occurred, no one really had an appetite anymore. Qin Yi made some noodles; however, Yun Huan still didn’t appear at dinner time.
