Chapter 1173 Find Your Biological Father
Qin Xiaoru quickly retracted her thoughts and wiped away her tears hastily, revealing an awkward and cramped smile, "No."
Qin Lie smiled indifferently. This little girl was not someone who could hide her thoughts, but he did not expose Qin Xiaoru. The little girl was already embarrassed, and he could not make things difficult for her.
Qin Xiaoru also knew that she must have been seen through, and immediately revealed an awkward smile, "Captain Qin, are you anxious? I'll take you to the bathroom to wash your hands, and the hand-rolled noodles will be ready soon."
Qin Lie nodded slightly and followed Qin Xiaoru into the guest bathroom.
When he was washing his hands in front of the mirror, his eyes did not look around, but were focused on the empty mirror cabinet. There were no toiletries prepared for guests, not even paper towels to wipe his hands.
But he doesn't care about these. Usually he just washes his hands and shakes them to dry naturally. What he cares about is the towel and toothbrush.
He needs to extract Qin Xiaoru's DNA.
After washing his hands and going out, Qin Xiaoru also came out with dishes and chopsticks, "Captain Qin, it's time to eat."
"it is good."
Qin Lie walked into the kitchen and originally wanted to help Qin Xiaoru carry the dishes, but there were only two bowls of hand-rolled noodles and a plate of pickled cucumbers, and Qin Xiaoru had already finished them all by herself.
"I'm sorry, it's really simple." Qin Xiaoru laughed dryly. She rolled the noodles by hand to cover up a lie. There was nothing else at home, so she had to make do with it.
Qin Lie chuckled, "Hand-rolling noodles is time-consuming and laborious. I think it is the highest level of courtesy to be able to eat hand-rolled noodles at home."
Qin Xiaoru relaxed, "Captain Qin, you are really good at talking. It's very comfortable to get along with you."
"Since she's my girlfriend, isn't it a bit too strange to call her 'Captain Qin'?" Qin Lie suggested with a smile.
Qin Xiaoru paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks. As she sat down, she asked tentatively, "Then can I call you Qin Lie?"
"I prefer you to call me brother."
"Huh?" Qin Xiaoru widened her eyes, unable to believe that such words came from Qin Lie's mouth.
Although she has never been in a relationship, she knows that many young couples nowadays call each other "brother" or "baby". Even some married girls often post on their Moments things like "I love the bag my brother bought me" or "I'm so happy that my brother prepared this for our wedding anniversary".
The word "brother" actually has an ambiguous meaning between couples.
But Qin Lie's eyes were clear and frank, making it hard to tell whether he was being ambiguous or not. However, Qin Lie, as described by Lu Xi and others, was a resolute, stern, and righteous public servant. He should not be the kind of person who would make random jokes to be ambiguous. What's more, they had just confirmed their relationship and didn't even know each other, so there was no reason for Qin Lie to say such things.
Qin Xiaoru lowered her head, thinking that she had heard it wrong, and then she smiled and said, "Brother Qin, try the pickled cucumber. This is the recipe that Lu Xixue and I learned. It tastes especially crisp."
"Okay." Qin Lie agreed without being polite to Qin Xiaoru.
He was different from those elegant young men who had to chew their food slowly and observe table manners. He was a rough man, and when he was on duty, he had little time to eat, so he was used to wolfing down his food and finishing it in just a few bites.
The surroundings were very quiet, and the sound of Qin Lie slurping noodles seemed to be through a loudspeaker.
The two of them felt a little awkward during the meal, especially Qin Xiaoru. She did admire Qin Lie and felt a sense of intimacy with him, but it was still difficult for her to treat him as a boyfriend.
She always felt a little awkward being in the same room with Qin Lie and eating at the same table.
Fortunately, Qin Lie finished his meal in just five minutes. At this time, the phone rang. It was Xiao Zhang who called. He must have a clue about some case.
Qin Lie stood up after answering the phone, "Sorry, police team, there are some things I need to deal with, I have to go first."
Qin Xiaoru quickly said, "Go and get busy."
Qin Lie nodded, turned around and took two steps but then stopped, looking at Qin Xiaoru meaningfully. After thinking for a while, he decided to say directly: "If it is convenient, please provide me with a biological sample."
Qin Xiaoru's eyes widened in surprise. "Biological samples? Brother Qin, what are you going to do?"
"Some things are not convenient to tell you for the time being, but you must believe me, I have no ill intentions."
Although Qin Lie looked serious, Qin Xiaoru was still a little confused. "Of course I believe you have no ill intentions, but you want my biological samples. Are you planning to do DNA tests?"
Qin Lie nodded, his expression serious, as if he was considering something. After a few seconds of silence, he revealed a little information, "Maybe we can find your biological father."
Qin Xiaoru blinked, somewhat unable to believe it.
The word "father" is too strange in her world. When her mother was alive, she didn't allow her to mention anything about her father. Every time she asked, her mother would say emotionally, "Your father is dead."
Qin Xiaoru didn’t understand when she was a child, but when she grew up she realized that her father was not really dead, but her mother hated her father so much that she said that on purpose.
Qin Xiaoru had never thought about looking for her father. Since that man didn't want her and her, he must be a heartless and cold-hearted person. There was no need for her to recognize this father. She was living well anyway.
Qin Xiaoru turned her face away and said, "No need. I don't want to find that person at all. I would rather my father was dead."
Qin Lie paused, and did not force Qin Xiaoru, "I understand."
"I'll take you out."
Qin Xiaoru sent Qin Lie outside the villa and watched him get into the black jeep and drive away. She did not rush back, but sat on the flower bed at the door, feeling as if her heart was blocked by a ball of cotton.
Pei Shaoqing's incident was enough to make her irritated, and Qin Lie mentioned the father who had never appeared for no reason. Qin Xiaoru really didn't like the feeling of having her life disrupted.
After Qin Lie left, Pei Shaoqing came out from the corner.
In fact, he had never left because he was worried about Qi Xiaoru being left alone in the villa with a man.
Seeing Qin Xiaoru's distraught look, Pei Shaoqing always felt that something was wrong. She was usually cheerful and carefree, but recently she was obviously worried.
When they were arguing today, Qin Xiaoru specifically mentioned her mother. Did something happen in the Pei family?
Pei Shaoqing walked over, but Qin Xiaoru didn't notice it at all until the big hand landed on the top of her head. She was startled and while she slapped the hand off her head, she looked over vigilantly.
Seeing that it was Pei Shaoqing, she opened her mouth, and her pretty face immediately sank again, "Why are you here again?"
"You silly girl! The Master is worried about you! What are you doing here? Did Qin Lie upset you?"
Qin Xiaoru curled her lips, "No, Captain Qin is really nice."
"Why does it seem like you've lost your soul?"
Qin Xiaoru pursed her lips and her voice faded. "He asked me for biological samples and said he could find my father. How funny is that? More than 20 years have passed, and now he actually says he can find my father."
Pei Shaoqing raised his eyebrows, and a name immediately popped up in his mind - Wei Qian.
