A Little Trick, the Scumbag Dad Can’t Hold the Knife After Understanding Love

After Chen Mo left, Ji Nian opened the small box he had given her.

Curious to see what kind of toy it was.

Upon opening it, a key with a familiar logo lay quietly inside.

Not long after, the person who had sent the 'toy' arrived.

A Ferrari that had been repainted, shimmering faintly in a pink hue under the light, its sleek and smooth lines exuding a cool vibe.

Balloons were tied to both side mirrors, and the front of the car was adorned with dolls surrounded by flowers.

Ji Nian: "......"

First of all, was this a small toy?

Secondly, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‍she was only seven years old.

When Ji Tingzhou found out, he dismissively commented: "The taste of a nouveau riche."

However, he didn't say anything about returning the gift.

Once something was in Ji Nian's pocket, it was hers, and who would complain about having more?

Ji Nian sat in the chair next to his bed, tucking the blanket around him: "Go to sleep, Dad. Your voice is hoarse."

Chen Mo's visit was more than enough to keep Ji Tingzhou busy for a year.

Complaining about the gift being tacky, then criticizing his outfit as if he were selling insurance.

Ji Nian was really afraid of his tendency to speak his mind.

In this world, there were things more toxic than Ji Nian's concoctions, and they appeared so vividly.

Perhaps too tired, Ji Tingzhou glanced at her and closed his eyes, falling asleep soon after.

His temperature was thirty-seven degrees, normal.

The doctor had just checked on him, saying he should be fully recovered in a couple of days.

"Sleep well, Dad."

"If your feet feel cold, you can put them in your mouth to warm up."

Ji Tingzhou, who had just fallen asleep: "......"

Meanwhile, news from the Lu family arrived, stating that Lu Jinghuai had awakened, and in a few days, Lu Zhi would personally come to the Ji household to express gratitude.

After hearing this from Zuo Yi, Ji Nian nodded to indicate she understood.

Seeing her calm reaction, Zuo Yi couldn't help but ask: "Young Miss, since we already had the poison test results, why did you need to go there in person?"

Initially, he had thought it was because the alchemist was cautious and had entrusted Ji Nian, a direct blood relative of Ji Tingzhou, with the task.

But later, learning that Ji Nian herself was the alchemist, Zuo Yi realized there was no need for such risk.

If additional observation of the person's condition was necessary, it wouldn't require Ji Nian to personally venture there; sending someone to report back would suffice.

To put it bluntly, the young royal heir's importance didn't warrant Ji Nian taking such a huge risk.

Upon hearing his question, Ji Nian blinked mischievously.

"Considering the Qingzhou Plan that was put on hold earlier, Zuo Yi, do you think the favor of aiding in a time of need would make the Lu family willing to concede how much?"

This single sentence was like a wake-up call.

Zuo Yi's mind cleared instantly.

His gaze towards Ji Nian changed immediately.

Genius is indeed genius. While they were still pondering over immediate and slightly distant gains and losses, Ji Nian's thoughts had already leaped ahead to consider the even longer-term future.

After seeing off Zuo Yi, who was full of reverence, Ji Nian, who had been composed just moments ago, sighed.

Returning to her room, she walked to the balcony's lounge chair, stretched out on it, and let out another deep sigh.

[The matter is settled, why the sigh?]

The system couldn't bear it anymore and inquired.

Ever since it started following Ji Nian, it had become numb.

The original story indeed hadn't mentioned the Lu family, but it had mentioned in the ending, which was twenty years later, during the time when the male and female leads were on their honeymoon, considering which country to visit. They mentioned Country O, but decided against it due to political turbulence and chaotic situations.

Moreover, the cause of the political changes was said to be due to the death of the only son of the queen who had come to power later.

Initially, the system hadn't connected the dots, but now it realized that this person might very well be Lu Jinghuai.

Without Ji Nian's intervention, the Lu family had probably still managed to keep him alive, but only barely, and he had lasted for over twenty years before passing away.

Ji Nian, of course, had no idea what the system was thinking. The reason she was sighing was: [My naive and sweet image isn't that solid anymore.]

The more she revealed, the harder it became to maintain that facade.

The system was surprised: [You still want to leave? Didn't you say you wanted to stay and take care of the family?]

It had thought that after doing so much, Ji Nian had developed a sense of belonging and wouldn't want to leave as soon as she became an adult.

[I want to be independent, not cut off ties with the family.]

[People always grow up, and I can't remain a child forever.]

Her physical body might be seven years old, but Ji Nian's soul was that of a genuine adult. She had her own dreams and capabilities and didn't want to remain a parasite.

What the system said wasn't wrong; her thoughts had indeed changed, but the one constant was still independence.

Alright.

To put it simply, she wanted to go to a place where no one knew her and promote her great research.

Yes, that which involves pulling out a hemorrhoid and shaping it into a rabbit's tail.

The system: "......"

This cursed, rabbit's tail hemorrhoid, spanning the entire story.

Though the sun was strong today, there was also a breeze. Ji Nian lay on the rattan chair, chatting idly with the system as the fragrant wind occasionally blew past.

Before long, she fell asleep.

Her consciousness sank.

Ji Nian found herself standing in a vast field of flowers, unable to name any of them, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Just as she was wondering why she was here, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

"Baby..."

Although the name wasn't mentioned, she clearly felt that the person was addressing her.

Ji Nian initially didn't want to turn around, but the voice felt very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. Eventually, she turned her head.

Only then did she notice that someone was standing behind her.

A woman with black curly hair, whose appearance was hard to imagine as containing both masculinity and charm simultaneously. She was the kind of stunning beauty Ji Nian had never seen before.

She swallowed hard.

The woman's eyes were filled with a gentle smile as she looked at Ji Nian. Seeing her turn around, she blinked at her: "Hi, baby, I'm your mom."

Upon hearing this title and glancing at her hair, Ji Nian instantly understood her identity.

Glancing at the little boy beside her, with black hair and eyes, also smiling warmly at her, his appearance was six parts similar to the woman, with subtle hints of Ji Tingzhou in his features.

He was a handsome child as well.

Ji Nian thought: So they're fraternal twins.

"Although I also go by Ji Nian, I'm not your daughter. Your daughter has already gone to another world to live a good life."

Realizing she was dreaming, Ji Nian didn't hold back and directly stated her identity.

Expecting the woman to be surprised, she instead shook her head.

"I wouldn't recognize my own child wrongly."

"You are my baby."

Hearing this, Ji Nian was a bit taken aback but didn't show it.

The woman's gaze softened even more as she continued to look at Ji Nian: "Originally, you're named Ji Nian. What an excellent name."

Although she didn't understand why she had said that earlier, Ji Nian didn't take it too seriously.

After all, it was just a dream.@@novelbin@@

"You came to look for me, is there something you need?"
