Chapter 214: Chapter 214

Fu Yaoyao’s illness depends entirely on whether Rong Zhi is around. She lingered in Rong Zhi’s embrace for a while before reluctantly leaving his arms, glaring at Bai Su as if she’d tear him apart if he dared to step into the room.

Bai Su raised an eyebrow, his fingers moved, and the knife hilt in his grip instantly crumbled into powder.

Ahhhhhhhhh she’s going to kill this damn thing!!

Seeing she was about to charge at Bai Su again, Rong Zhi hurriedly got out of bed and pulled her into his arms, then led her to the next room.

The door closed, leaving two men outside, one looking bewildered, the other’s gaze somber.

Meanwhile, Rong. The Foodie. Jiazze held a small bowl, staring blankly at the bullet holes in the back wall.

Half an hour later, the soft, cute little girl came out of the room with a lollipop in her mouth, her twin ponytails bouncing merrily, looking adorable and sweet.

But Jiang Gujun, who had just witnessed her combat power not long ago, couldn’t have wished more to stay far away from her.

Fake, what cute adorable girl, all fake!

This is clearly a little demon who wouldn’t blink an eye when killing.

Back then, the posts about Tao Yao on the Heaven Gate Network were deleted, but Tohth obviously didn’t care about it. Many still had the images saved, so Jiang Gujun asked Old Fan for Tao Yao’s pictures.

Comparing them with the bullet marks on the wall, that abstract peach blossom mark was exactly the same.

And Tao Yao’s most iconic item, the soundless hollow bell.

With all these comparisons, there’s a ninety percent chance that Fu Yaoyao is Tao Yao.

But why is Tao Yao in Beijing? And... she’s clearly very familiar with Rong Zhi.

The little girl sat in the plush single sofa, her short legs curled up, looking very pleased.

The young man followed a step behind, still dressed in thin pajamas, with the previously undone buttons fastened now.

Jiang Gujun couldn’t help but let his gaze drift upward; the shout from Fu Yaoyao earlier was heard clearly outside.

Normally Mr. Rong was always dressed in loose male clothes; he really hadn’t seen how she was built.

But before Jiang Gujun could see clearly, a glass cup flew straight towards his face.

"What the hell, Mr. Su, why’d you throw it at me?"

Jiang Gujun swiftly dodged sideways to avoid the glass cup.

Bai Su playfully fidgeted with a lighter in his long fingers, lazily raised his eyes and coolly said, "Why don’t you just glue your eyes shut."

Alright, he’s guilty; he shouldn’t have looked at Mr. Rong.

Rong Zhi glanced at Bai Su, turned back to change clothes, still in the navy-blue hoodie, her bangs slicked back after being dampened, a few strands lightly falling over her mischievous brows, giving off a casual, lazy vibe.

Jiang Gujun’s eyes slightly narrowed; honestly, if Ying Yunlin hadn’t said Rong Zhi was a girl, just from the aura, he’d have never guessed.

Rong Zhi went to the kitchen for a glass of warm water, and upon returning, Rong Jiazze placed breakfast in front of her, with the eyes of several people in the room on her.

This was the second time the house was this lively since they moved in.

"What’s up?" Rong Zhi took a sip of water, her voice calmly asked.

Bai Su picked up a bun, tore the paper off the bottom, handed it to her, and conveniently inserted a straw in the soy milk, "It’s the weekend today, just wanted to see if you have time, thought we could go out and relax." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Nove1Fire.net

Rong Zhi nodded, "Have plans tonight with Ying Hengyu and the others."

Bai Su clicked his tongue lightly, his eyebrows raised slightly, "He gets to see you every day lately, but it’s tough for me to even catch a glimpse. Can’t you pity me just a little, and spend a day with me?"

Before Rong Zhi could answer, Fu Yaoyao loudly refused.

She stood with her hands on her hips, angrily reiterating, "No way, not happening, who are you to make my mentor accompany you?"

"Little girl," Bai Su’s lips curled into an appropriate smile, though his eyes bore no humor, coldly flickering with deep, intense chill, "Relying on your mentor is fine, but have you thought about how she needs her own space too?"

Fu Yaoyao fell silent, her gaze on Bai Su growing sharper.

But Bai Su shook his head, unfazed by her threat, offering the soy milk to the young man’s lips, his voice warm as if lecturing, "You can’t just cling to her all the time because of your illness, she’s a person, not your possession."

Those words hit home.

Angry and anxious, Fu Yaoyao couldn’t suppress the irritation within her, but her mentor had forbidden her from acting earlier, leaving her stifling her breath, her eyes red as she burst into tears in front of Bai Su.

"I didn’t! I didn’t treat her as a thing, you’re talking nonsense! My mentor, she’s my family, is it wrong to like her?!"

There’s nothing wrong with it, but her extreme dependence on Rong Zhi’s personality raises concerns, but what if one day Rong Zhi isn’t there for her, what then? Keep deteriorating until she goes crazy?

Rong Zhi finished the soy milk, seeing it was about time, she kicked Bai Su’s shin, Bai Su yelped in pain, turning his head to blink at her, looking all aggrieved and confused.

"Yao Yao." Rong Zhi glanced away, ignoring him, beckoned to Fu Yaoyao, who immediately threw herself into her arms, clutching her clothes so hard her knuckles turned white.

Gently patting the top of the little girl’s soft head, she soothingly said, "Don’t listen to his nonsense."

Bai Su’s brow twitched at her words, silently grinding his molars at a leisurely pace, "Zai Zai, you’re just spoiling her."

Not sure what it was that clicked, he rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

Divergent views on educating the child, Fu Yaoyao clung to the young man for quite a while without letting go, and Bai Su could only watch helplessly from the side, gloomily heading out to the balcony to get some fresh air.

The planned two-person world also faded away. Rong Zhi had to work on the experiment, heading to the lab with Fu Yaoyao after breakfast. In the afternoon, Fu Yaoyao received a call about a package delivery.

The delivery was specially arranged, a pet special delivery, as Fu Liang and Xu Ningxing suddenly had something urgent to deal with, thus sending Bai Kafei to Beijing.

The creamy white Ragdoll cat successfully won over little Rong Jiazze’s affection the moment it arrived at its new home.

Unfazed by strangers, Jiang Gujun played with it using a cat teaser, as the two of them and the cat had a great time together, the sun high in the sky, its rays streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, lighting Bai Kafei’s body, its pair of sapphire blue eyes glistening crystal clear.

Jiang Gujun was slightly stunned; just as he was about to compliment the eyes, an image suddenly flashed in his mind.

He handed the cat teaser to Rong Jiazze, took his phone out of his pocket, opened the Heaven Gate Network app, then went into the chat tab to find the ’Your Dad Carries the Wild’ avatar, and clicked on it.

After a few seconds, he suddenly looked at Bai Kafei, opened his mouth, and uttered a "shit."

Jiang Gujun dashed into the kitchen to find Bai Su, who was preparing lunch.

The man wore an apron with a Pikachu on it, which clashed with his image, expertly handling vegetables, calm and composed as if flowing effortlessly.

The urgency in Jiang Gujun’s voice caused it to rise higher.

Bai Su added the vegetables to the pan, his lowered eyes calm and steady, he acknowledged Jiang Gujun with a faint "hmm," indicating him to continue.

"I was just playing with that Ragdoll cat, and the sunlight hit its eyes; I suddenly realized its eyes look just like those in President Fei’s avatar!"
