After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1023 - 543: Finale

Xia Xiaoli is 38 years old this year. Despite middle-age weight gain and inevitable crow's feet, her skin isn't great, with pigmentation issues, but her face shape is undoubtedly still good—a classic oval face.

In her youth, she had a large following of male admirers. During college, she might not have been the school beauty, but she was certainly a top beauty in her department.

Otherwise, Pan Dongliang wouldn't have been so taken with her at first sight, hiring her—a freshly graduated female college student—as his personal secretary. Her college major wasn't even in secretarial studies, nor humanities.

She originally studied Electronic Information Engineering and applied to Dongliang Electrical Company for a technical position.

Yet, Pan Dongliang made her a secretary, and within less than a month, she was attracted to Pan Dongliang's mature and steady masculine charm, naturally becoming his lover.

Thus, over a decade passed. As she aged, her allure to Pan Dongliang naturally weakened, and Pan Dongliang showed no intention of divorcing to marry her, so she gradually gave up on him.

Fortunately, she's always been quite content, and Pan Dongliang has treated her fairly well. Although they're no longer lovers, they still maintain a superior-subordinate relationship with great cooperation and harmonious ties.

After ending the affair with Pan Dongliang, she soon met her future husband, Cao Yue, through an introduction by acquaintances. She was 31 at the time, Dongliang Electrical Company's chairman secretary, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, living in a luxury apartment and driving a high-end car, single and unmarried.

Cao Yue was 35, an ordinary public servant, divorced for three years, having tried several matchmaking attempts without success. Luckily, his unit offered good benefits, and with enough seniority, he was allocated a welfare apartment unit—albeit only eighty-plus square meters—but in a prime location in Xiu Zhou, a newly-tiered city, with a market value of four to five million.

More importantly, Cao Yue was an honest man, gentle with people, attentive and kind-hearted. Whether colleagues or friends and family, everyone praised his good temper.

Thus, after they met, they quickly established a romantic relationship, got engaged after two months, and married half a year later. The following year, they had a precious daughter.

Their daughter is now seven, growing smart and charming, loved by everyone.

Cao Yue is a typical doting father, showing infinite affection for their daughter, sometimes making Xia Xiaoli feel slightly jealous. Even to the extent, he rejected Xia Xiaoli's proposals for a second child several times due to his love for their beloved daughter.

These past few years, their family of three has lived happily and harmoniously. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

For Xia Xiaoli, life is particularly comforting and peaceful; she's seamlessly adapted to her job after over a decade, similarly with her family life.

Cao Yue almost takes care of all household chores and the responsibility of looking after their daughter. Every morning, Cao Yue wakes up early to make a loving breakfast for their daughter and her before heading to work. Returning home for lunch, he does the grocery shopping, cooking, mainly managing dinner preparations. In the evening, when their daughter returns, he engages in parent-child interactions and educates her.

Therefore, Xia Xiaoli is quite satisfied with Cao Yue as a husband; although not very handsome, he's 1.75 meters tall, graduated from a top university, possessing a scholarly temperament, and somewhat charming.

More importantly, he has a stable job and high social status; any mention of his workplace evokes admiration.

Thus, Xia Xiaoli has no dissatisfaction with him, especially in recent years, as she increasingly feels good towards her husband, often buying him items with her own money, including clothes, shoes, new phones, and supplements.

Such a life makes her feel secure and happy every day.

...

Ten days ago, a school teacher called saying their daughter had a fever. Cao Yue hurriedly asked for leave from work, rushing to school to pick up their daughter and took her to the hospital.

At the emergency consultation, the doctor initially diagnosed it as a viral cold requiring a blood test. Cao Yue suddenly thought to have a blood type test done for his daughter, as he'd never known her blood type.

Then, when the report came out showing the daughter's blood type as B, initially, he didn't think much of knowing the daughter's blood type.

But two days later, while browsing his phone, he came across a news article about a couple both having type A blood, yet their son had type B blood. Consequently, the husband suspected the child wasn't biologically his, insisting on a DNA test, but the wife initially refused, accusing him of being overly suspicious. She assured him the son was his, claiming a DNA test as betraying trust and implying infidelity, suggesting divorce.

The husband, initially scared by his wife's threats, didn't pursue the DNA test further. But the son's blood type issue became his mind's burden. A few months later, the husband secretly took the son for DNA testing, confirming the son wasn't biologically his.

Upon seeing this news, Cao Yue suddenly felt a pang of worry, his own blood type is A, and Xia Xiaoli's blood type was somewhat unclear, but likely neither B nor AB. Thus, whether his wife was type A or O, their daughter couldn't possibly be type B.

Despite not wanting to believe nor daring to believe their daughter wasn't biologically his, this suspicion once arisen became hard to dismiss.

Taking advantage of a moment when Xia Xiaoli was bathing, he accessed her phone to find her physical exam report.

Xia Xiaoli pays close attention to her health, having frequent physical exams every two months, with her digital reports stored on her phone.

Easily, he found her blood type—indeed not B nor AB, but O. He was type A, their daughter type B; simple blood type matching suggested their daughter clearly wasn't his biologically.

Upon knowing this result, Cao Yue was somewhat devastated but still held onto a sliver of hope. He managed to obtain locks of their daughter's hair and nails while she was sleeping for a DNA test. The expedited results shattered him, making him cry bitterly.

After a lengthy time, he barely contained his emotions, considering the possibility of an error in the DNA test since he was advised that children's DNA examination is more accurate with oral swabs.

Holding this last hope, he secured an oral swab from their daughter for another DNA test, which finally dashed all his hopes completely.

This time, he didn't cry; instead, he darkened thoroughly.

Granted, he was honest, but discovering the daughter he'd loved with all his heart for so many years wasn't biologically his, and being kept in the dark for so long, betrayed and deceived by his wife, he simply couldn't tolerate it.

Nevertheless, he truly loved Xia Xiaoli, his wife, and still held paternal affection for the daughter he raised himself for seven years; despite her not being biologically his, he couldn't suddenly treat her as an outsider.
