My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 193

The Nan family’s private doctor, Luo Shu, received a call from Jiang Zhe to get him to drop by Nan Chen’s office.

Luo Shu was shocked as he thought that an emergency had happened to Nan Chen in the office. He immediately carried his first aid kit and rushed over.

He then saw Nan Chen in one piece and just had some dark circles which were probably due to a lack of sleep.

Nan Chen had to consume two extra-large cups of espressos in order to get rid of his fatigue.

In fact, he had been a rather energetic man all along but the long distance travelling yesterday which disrupted his sleep and the loss of sleep at night had tired him out.

“Third Young Master, are you feeling unwell?” Luo Shu said as he opened his first aid kit, ready to start the consultation.

“I am good. The reason I got you here is because I have a question.”

“Please go ahead, Third Young Master.”

“Are the DNA of twins the same?”

“For identical twins which arise from the same ovum, their DNA would be the same. However if they are non-identical twins which arose from a different ovum, their DNA would be different and the similarity would be just like that of usual siblings.” Luo Shu answered.

Nan Chen nodded.

In fact, Nan Chen knew such simple knowledge. He just wanted to confirm them with a professional.

“Fourth Young Master and you are identical twins, so the both of you will have the same DNA.”

Nan Chen nodded again.

“If Nan Xing’s DNA and my DNA are completely the same, how are we able to tell the difference apart?” Nan Chen questioned again.

“Of course, they will be a way to tell the DNA apart by observing the difference between the inheritance levels. Take for example, the methylation patterns of the DNA would be different, the proofreading levels of the genome would be different, the DNA replication mutation rate and more. As long as there is a professional to authenticate the DNAs, they would be able to tell the difference between the 2 DNA. In the past, such technologies were only available overseas. However, we have them now too. But as there is a low demand for such DNA authentication, the main techniques used today are genetic research and forensics. In some cases, after a twin commits a crime, the other twin can take the offence on behalf of the sibling as they both have the same DNA. There will then be a need for an even more detailed analysis by a professional expert. But of course, I am not saying that Fourth Young Master and you will be in such a situation, that was just an example.” Luo Shu explained in fear.

Nan Chen waved his hand to signal that it was fine.

Nan Chen then remained silent for another couple of seconds. It was as if he was brainstorming about a problem.

Luo Shu did not dare to disturb him so he just kept quiet.

“If Nan Xing had a child, then would the child’s DNA be the same as mine?” Nan Chen questioned again.

“The similarity index would be very high, but it will not be exactly the same.” Luo Shu said.

Nan Chen remained silent.

“I will need you to help me settle something but this matter will only stay between the both of us.” Nan Chen said.

Luo Shu felt nervous, “What is it about?”

“Take my DNA and Nan Xing’s DNA to make a comparison with that of a child’s DNA and let me know the results.”

“Understood.”

“What do you understand?” Nan Chen asked coldly.

“I think I do not understand.” Luo Shu panicked.

“There isn’t a complicated relationship going on here, it is just that there are some misunderstandings and I do not wish to have anyone know about it to prevent rumors from spreading.”

“Understood.” Luo Shu really meant it this time.

He knew the importance of the Nan family’s reputation to them. Nan Chen took extra precaution in handling this matter as he could not let outsiders know of it and use it to create headline news.

Hence, this was a top secret and no mistakes could be tolerated.

“You really understand?”

“Yes, I really do.”

“Okay, you will first take my blood sample. Can we do it here?”

“Yes.”

……

At 6pm, everyone at the filming scene of The Sound of Thunder 2 were preoccupied.

The filming process of this show was way too arduous. They were already falling behind the schedule due to the switching of roles and various incidents. There was a need to speed up their work progress.
