Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

This kid must have grown up eating sugar; how is their mouth so sweet?

Xingguang poured out a handful of candy and asked the kids, ”Do you want some? Ask your parents for permission first. If they agree, you can take it from me.” She wouldn’t just give candy to kids randomly.

The kids then ran to their respective parents to confirm.

In the end, only two little girls returned to Xu Xingguang and pointed to their young parents in the distance, saying, ”My mom said we can have candy from the pretty sister.”

Xu Xingguang glanced toward their parents and, recognizing them to some extent, guessed they might be healthcare workers from the hospital or descendants of the Huo Family’s direct line.

They knew her and trusted her.

So Xu Xingguang divided the candy between the two kids.

As she watched the kids run barefoot on the beach, she suddenly muttered, ”I really want to have a child.” Xu Xingguang had lived too long and felt lonely for too long; seeing such adorable and polite children inevitably stirred thoughts.

But when she considered that raising a child requires even more dedication than growing top-tier medicinal herbs, Xu Xingguang dismissed the idea.

Raising plants is easier than raising children.

Her phone rang.

Xu Xingguang answered the call, and Ye Mingluo excitedly said on the line, ”Master, where are you?” From the tone, the test results must have come out.

She told Ye Mingluo, ”I’m on the beach outside the hospital, watching the sunset. Come find me here so we can talk face to face.”

Ye Mingluo, noticing Xu Xingguang’s calm tone, asked, ”Master, aren’t you curious about the test results?” Ye Mingluo sounded excited, like he had stumbled upon something very interesting, eager to share it with someone.

However, Xu Xingguang said, ”I already have a rough idea what’s going on.”

This made Ye Mingluo pause.

Then he recalled that the other person was the Medicine Farmer Star, his incredibly capable master, and he felt at ease. ”Master, wait for me. I’ll be there right away.”

Ye Mingluo grabbed the test report and rushed straight to the beach.

He had spent the past few days in the lab, sleeping on the small bed in the hospital when tired. When he came to see Xu Xingguang, he was still in his floral shirt paired with loose beach shorts and flip-flops, embodying a slovenly appearance.

The shirt was wrinkled from sleep, and he hadn’t had a chance to shave, making him look even more unkempt.

But his eyes were sparkling.

”Master!” Ye Mingluo plopped down next to Xu Xingguang. He deliberately shook the file in his hand in front of her, testing her, ”Master, why don’t you guess what’s actually going on?”

He wanted to see if Xu Xingguang had really guessed the truth.

Perhaps she was just bluffing.

Xu Xingguang smiled, looked at the folder, and confidently said, ”Huo Wen’an is a member of the Huo Family.”

Ye Mingluo sneered, ”With his looks, could he not be from the Huo Family? That doesn’t count, guess again!”

Slightly squinting her starry eyes, Xu Xingguang gazed at the sea, tinted orange by the sunset, and said with some emotion, ”In genetics, there’s a rare phenomenon known as paternal isodisomy.”

Hearing the genetic term ’paternal isodisomy’ from Xu Xingguang, Ye Mingluo’s hair, which had been sticking up, suddenly flattened.

”Wow...” Ye Mingluo raised his thumb at Xu Xingguang, admiringly saying, ”Master is indeed amazing!”

Paternal isodisomy refers to a situation where two kids from the same father have identical gametes on the father’s side.

Therefore, when conducting a genetic test on these two kids, all gene loci will show the same gametes.

In such cases, the genetic test results for the two kids will be the same as a parentage test result.

”So.” Xu Xingguang closed her eyes and said, full of complex emotions, ”Brother A Zui is not the son of Huo Yunsheng and the first wife. He is the son of Huo Canghai and the Princess, and he is the real Huo Lanyue.”

”That’s right.” Ye Mingluo vigorously rubbed his face and said in a daze, ”You have no idea. When I compared Brother A Zui’s DNA with Old Sir Huo’s DNA and found that their genetic test results matched a father-son test, I was completely stunned.”

”To be extra cautious, I checked the Princess’s DNA to confirm their mother-son relationship, and my emotions were more intense than riding a roller coaster...”

Ye Mingluo covered his face with the file and cursed, ”What the hell is this! I’ve lived over thirty years, and it’s the first time I’ve encountered such a ridiculous guess-who’s-my-father scenario.”

As expected of the Huo Family, the top of the hundred biggest financial aristocracies, they surely know how to play!
