The Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife Changes to Take the Black Moonlight Script - Chapter 76

Shang Shiqian realized Wei Yixian remained trapped in guilt and self-blame, unable to free herself even after all these years.

For a fleeting moment, she nearly confessed her resurrection from death.

But now wasn’t the right time at least not until the results from her family came through.

Compared to her empty claims, a DNA paternity test would be far more convincing.

Moreover…

She thought of the unresolved knots between Wei Yixian and the Shang family.

Could eight years of emotional entanglements truly dissolve just because she had returned from the dead?

Probably not.

On the contrary, her reappearance would reignite conflicts that had gradually faded.

In the past, Shang Shiqian was dead, so aside from forcing Wei Yixian to sever ties with her, the Shang family had no other recourse.

Wei Yixian, burdened by guilt, had tolerated every provocation from Shang Xiaowu, even sinking deep into the quagmire of self-reproach.

If Wei Yixian discovered she was Shang Shiqian, not Shang Shiyu, she would undoubtedly feel deceived.

What Shang Shiqian feared most was Wei Yixian distorting her own feelings to make amends.

Even now, she couldn’t be sure whether Wei Yixian loved Shang Shiyu or the version of Shang Shiyu that resembled Shang Shiqian.

But Wei Yixian had said she didn’t see her as anyone’s substitute, so for now, Shang Shiqian chose to believe Wei Yixian loved Shang Shiyu.

Therefore, if her identity as Shang Shiqian were restored, Wei Yixian would surely be thrown into chaos.

As for the Shang family, the eldest sister had allowed her to return for two reasons: first, her identity hadn’t been fully confirmed yet.

Second, she had told her eldest sister that Wei Yixian only saw her as a substitute.

Though the eldest sister disapproved of Wei Yixian’s actions, she had no grounds to forcibly separate them.

Even if she were taken away by force, Wei Yixian’s nature would compel her to investigate relentlessly.

If the situation escalated, her identity as Shang Shiqian might be exposed.

That was the last outcome the eldest sister wanted.

If the Shang family learned Wei Yixian had discovered she was Shang Shiqian, they would likely forbid any further contact, let alone bless their relationship.

Bound by the events of eight years ago, Wei Yixian wouldn’t insist on keeping her, and they would have to part ways.

Weighed down by these concerns, Shang Shiqian decided to wait for the right moment.

Although she couldn’t reveal her resurrection as Shang Shiqian, she could hint at her connection to the Shang family, preparing Wei Yixian mentally.

After all, more than just Shang Xiaowu would come looking for her ties to the Shang family couldn’t be hidden from Wei Yixian forever.

After careful consideration, Shang Shiqian began, “Yesterday afternoon at the hospital, I ran into Shang Shixing. She suspected I might be her long-lost sister and took me for a test.”

This test included both a kinship analysis with the eldest sister and a paternity test with their mother.

Their mother, Zhu Fu, happened to be home, making it easy for the eldest sister to collect hair follicles and blood for DNA verification.

Wei Yixian: …

Though Shang Shiqian omitted details, she hadn’t lied.

Wei Yixian asked, “And then?”

Her calmness surprised Shang Shiqian: Was Wei Yixian not shocked at all?!

Remembering that Chu Fei and Ying Jia had been present, it dawned on her: They must have already told Wei Yixian.

Anxiously, Shang Shiqian asked, “The results aren’t out yet, but… if I am from the Shang family, would you hate me?”

Wei Yixian gazed at her.

After a long pause, she suddenly smiled.

Shang Shiqian couldn’t tell whether she was angry or not.

Wei Yixian also put down the Go piece and said, “Why would I dislike you? Whether you’re from the Shang family or not, you’re my girlfriend, aren’t you?”

Shang Shiqian’s heart settled back into place.

She leaned in again on her own initiative.

Wei Yixian glanced at her sideways: “What are you doing?”

Yet her upper body tilted forward slightly.

As the distance closed, Shang Shiqian happily kissed her lips.

Then, Shang Shiqian raised another question: “Aren’t you worried the Shang family might forbid us from dating?”

“I don’t care what the Shang family thinks. My stance depends on your choice.”

Shang Shiqian thought to herself, Wei Yixian truly lives up to being a domineering CEO even her words carry that authoritative tone.

While lost in thought, the back of her head was suddenly pressed down by Wei Yixian’s hand.

The next second, an ardent kiss captured all her attention.

The air conditioning in the study was quite strong, but Shang Shiqian grew warm from the kiss.

Her back felt as if it were breaking out in heat rash, vaguely itchy.

She thought again how comfortable it would be if Wei Yixian’s hand could reach in and scratch it for her.

“You’re distracted,” Wei Yixian complained, using her thumb to wipe Shang Shiqian’s moist red lips.

Shang Shiqian said sheepishly, “It’s a bit hot.”

“Shall I help you cool down?”

Wei Yixian changed her hand from pressing the back of Shang Shiqian’s head to resting on her shoulder, stood up, walked around the coffee table, and sat on her lap.

Her cool hand caressed Shang Shiqian’s flushed cheek. Shang Shiqian squinted comfortably, leaning her head into Wei Yixian’s palm.

Shang Shiqian said, “This method of cooling down is indeed effective.”

Wei Yixian curled her lips, bent down, and captured those red lips.

Amidst their entangled breaths, she rubbed Shang Shiqian’s ears, reddened from congestion.

The cool touch didn’t lower the temperature of her ears; instead, they grew even hotter.

Shang Shiqian widened her eyes: First cooling down, then waiting for the right moment to set her heart ablaze when the conditions are dry?

That’s just too unfair!

During a break, Wei Yixian suppressed her passionate gaze and asked, “Still hot?”

Shang Shiqian thought, With you fanning the flames like this, how could I not be hot?

Full of grievance, she said, “Hot. Look at my back has it broken out in heat rash?”

“Let me see!” Wei Yixian’s hand moved to her back.

Shang Shiqian wasn’t sweating, but she was indeed as warm as a little stove.

Wei Yixian recalled the hellish cold jokes Shang Shiqian had told the system. Her nails scratched lightly, then she tightly embraced Shang Shiqian.

Thinking she was helping scratch her back, Shang Shiqian said, “Ah, right there. Scratch a bit more for me.”

Wei Yixian was both annoyed and amused. While scratching her back, she freed one hand to pull open Shang Shiqian’s collar.

“Ah Qian, what are you doing?” Shang Shiqian inexplicably felt this action was dangerous.

“Checking if my graduation certificate is still there. It’s gone.”

As she spoke, Wei Yixian bit another mark on it the next second.

This was punishment for Shang Shiqian’s concealment, so she bit harder.

The muscles in Shang Shiqian’s cheek twitched: “Is it possible it’s on the other side?”

“Really? Perfect, then it’ll be symmetrical.”

At some point, Wei Yixian’s scratching had turned into a faint, teasing caress.

Shang Shiqian felt even hotter.

After a moment’s thought, she asked Wei Yixian, “Do you want to take a nap?”

Wei Yixian looked at her with a teasing smile, bent down to nibble her lips again, and replied, “Let’s wash our hands first.”

–

Shang Family.

Tomorrow was Monday, and Zhu Fu had to return to work, so she booked an afternoon flight.

After lunch, she would head to the airport to wait for her flight.

“The investigation results regarding Yu Xiong and Wang Xiadie will be out soon. As for Zhao Duxing…” Zhu Fu glanced at Shang Xiaowu, “You said you want to handle it personally, so I won’t interfere. I hope you can truly manage it well.”

It wasn’t that they were careless, knowing Zhao Duxing had issues but not dealing with them.

In fact, after the incident where Shang Xiaowu was nearly framed, she had taken it seriously.

Otherwise, the police wouldn’t have been able to catch Yu Xiong and Wang Xiadie’s agent red-handed while trading new drugs in such a short time.

However, as parents, they couldn’t completely control their child’s social circle, and they couldn’t protect their child forever, the child had to stand on their own.

Hopefully, this incident would teach Shang Xiaowu a lesson.

Shang Shixing said, “Mom, I’ve found an assistant for her.”

Shang Xiaowu turned to look at her eldest sister, “What assistant?”

Shang Shixing glanced at her, “You’re a painter is it strange to have your own assistant?”

Shang Xiaowu: …

An assistant in name, but actually a bodyguard to keep an eye on her, right?

Zhu Fu nodded, “You should have done this earlier. This time, no refusals are allowed.”

Shang Xiaowu knew she was in the wrong and didn’t refuse again.

The two sisters saw Zhu Fu off, and only then did Shang Xiaowu ask, “Eldest Sister, didn’t you tell Mom?”

“Let’s wait until we get the report. I don’t want to get their hopes up for nothing.” Shang Shixing paused, “And your previous concerns weren’t unfounded. Xiaoqian has returned to the human world but hasn’t come back to find us could there be some kind of taboo or restriction?”

“But she did acknowledge us, didn’t she?”

At the thought, Shang Xiaowu couldn’t help but want to go find Shang Shiqian and openly call her Shang Qiguan.

Shang Shixing shook her head, “This restriction might not be about her being unable to reveal her identity, but rather limited in other ways… Actually, she came to find us during the airshow, but she deliberately avoided me then. So I suspect she isn’t forced to keep her identity from us but has her own reasons.”

She needed to confirm Shang Shiqian’s identity, talk with her, and then decide whether to tell the family.

The physical exam results came out quickly.

On Monday morning, Shang Shixing went to the Municipal First Central Hospital to pick up Shang Shiqian’s physical exam report.

Afterward, she went to see a doctor close to the Shang family to help analyze the report.

“There are no major health issues, but there are minor problems with the cervical and lumbar spine. She probably sits for long periods often, right?”

Shang Shixing nodded.

“She still needs to exercise more.”

The doctor offered some suggestions.

After listening, Shang Shixing took out another physical exam report and said, “Could you take a look at this one for me as well?”

The doctor first saw the header, but since the name and date were covered, she couldn’t tell whose report it was.

Without overthinking it, she looked at the various data points below.

But the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed. Pointing to the latest report, she said, “Aren’t these two the same?”

Shang Shixing asked, “Are you sure they’re identical?”

The doctor examined it more carefully and said, “There are still some differences, such as the values in the complete blood count, liver, and kidney functions.”

Before Shang Shixing could ask, the doctor explained further: “But this is normal. Since these items have different measurement standards, any values within the deviation range of these indicators are considered normal.”

Shang Shixing said, “This report is from a morning fasting check-up, while the one we just reviewed was from an evening examination.”

The doctor countered, “Are you sure?”

Shang Shixing nodded.

The doctor chuckled, “That’s impossible. Some tests are more accurate when performed in the morning on an empty stomach. By evening, after meals, the deviation in values would be much larger, it couldn’t possibly show such minimal changes… unless the medical report was fabricated.”

As for whether values would remain normal if fasting in the morning and testing in the evening?

The answer is no, because not eating during the day also significantly impacts the human body, leading to abnormal physical examination results.

Therefore, general check-ups are typically scheduled for mornings while fasting.

…

After leaving the hospital, Shang Shixing peeled off the label at the top, revealing the text beneath: August 15, 2016. Examinee: Shang Shiqian.

This was Shang Shiqian’s medical report from eight years ago.

The Shang family undergoes physical examinations every six months usually once in February and once in August.

Just days after this report was issued, Shang Shiqian met with an incident.

Shang Shixing wasn’t concerned that the newly obtained medical report might be fake.

Because she had arranged the check-up on short notice, and she had also sent key samples to the Air Force General Hospital for analysis.

In other words, there were actually three versions of the medical report.

The results of all three reports were similar.

From this, Shang Shixing could confirm two things.

First, there was a 99% probability that “Shang Shiyu” was Shang Shiqian, with the remaining 1% pending the paternity test results.

Second, Shang Shiqian’s body was still that of a 21-year-old, she had flesh and blood, could breathe, her heart beat, one could feel her body temperature, and she even had physiological needs.

However, she was likely in a special state that prevented her test values from showing abnormalities, even during an evening examination after eating.

And this state might be related to her resurrection from death.

Shang Da: If it weren’t for my sister, she’d be sent for slicing. (Just kidding

Shang Si: ?

Shang Xiaowu (trembling): Big sister is so scary!

Wei Zong: So, you Shangs should reflect on why my wife doesn’t want to acknowledge you.
