Ning Chuchu reached out and pinched his delicate little face, saying, “It’s a shame you can’t stay a child forever. You’re so adorable now.”
The system looked up at her and blinked adorably.
“I can stay as a child forever!”
Hehe, if the host really likes it, he can do it too!
Ning Chuchu shook her head regretfully.
“How can a normal person never grow up? What if you’re captured for research?”
The system tilted his head and said adorably, “Then I’ll change my appearance every once in a while. That way it won’t be weird!”
Ning Chuchu twitched her lips speechlessly.
“That’s even weirder, isn’t it?”
“If every once in a while, there’s a new child beside me…” Ning Chuchu chuckled.
“Then I’ll probably be mistaken for an old witch who eats children, right?”
“But…” Ning Chuchu stroked her chin thoughtfully.
“My beauty does fit in with this character.”
After she finished, she couldn’t help but laugh, clearly amused by this ridiculous idea.
System: “…” It was the familiar, narcissistic host.
That night, Ning Chuchu, unusually free, accepted Xie Jinqiu’s invitation again.
Before going downstairs, the system asked with a gossipy look on his face, “Are you planning on being with that Xie guy?”
Ning Chuchu, putting on her makeup, took the time to respond, “You’re just a kid, don’t bother with me.”
System: “…Don’t really treat me like a kid!”
Ning Chuchu took the system’s hand and went downstairs, immediately spotting Xie Jinqiu leaning against the car.
The man was tall and long-legged, his well-tailored suit accentuating his impressive figure and distinguishing demeanor. He held a bouquet of vibrant roses, adding a touch of warmth to this otherwise cold and aloof man.
Upon seeing Ning Chuchu, a gentle smile played across his lips. Of course, that smile froze when he saw the chubby boy beside Ning Chuchu.
A flicker of helplessness crossed Xie Jinqiu’s eyes. Resignedly, he opened the car door and helped carry the boy inside.
Then he handed the bouquet to Ning Chuchu.
Ning Chuchu took it with a smile, thinking to herself: This taciturn guy is becoming more and more clever.
Before getting in the driver’s seat, Xie Jinqiu pondered seriously: Will he ever get another chance to be alone with Chuchu?
They haven’t even gotten married yet, yet they’re already living as a family of three. Does that make sense?
Whenever she goes out with the system, her destination is always a major restaurant.
On the way there, Ning Chuchu tried calling Pei Xingyan again, but still couldn’t get through.
“What’s wrong with this guy?” Ning Chuchu frowned in dissatisfaction.
Xie Jinqiu noticed the difficulty on her face through the rearview mirror and immediately asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”
Ning Chuchu sighed worriedly and said, “I can’t get through to Pei Xingyan.”
Pei Xingyan?
Hearing this, Xie Jinqiu’s grip on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously, and a dark glint crossed his eyes.
He pursed his lips and asked gravely, “What do you want to talk to him about?”
Ning Chuchu coughed uncomfortably and said, “I rescued a dog with him a while ago, but I’ve been having trouble…handling it lately. I’d like to discuss with Pei Xingyan about each of us raising it for a while.”
Xie Jinqiu frowned.
Raising the dog for a while?
Wouldn’t that mean Ning Chuchu would have to keep in touch with Pei Xingyan regularly?
And raising the dog together…
It sounded strange, like they had formed an inexplicable bond.
A sudden sense of crisis washed over Xie Jinqiu.
Without further ado, he instinctively said, “I can help you raise the dog.”
Ning Chuchu paused, looking at him intently.
“What did you say?”
Xie Jinqiu gathered his composure and said firmly, “I’ll help you raise the dog.”
So, don’t go to Pei Xingyan.
Ning Chuchu’s eyes lit up. She was about to agree, but out of conscience, she said cautiously, “This dog is quite boisterous…”
Xie Jinqiu shrugged, “It’s okay.”
Ning Chuchu let out a long sigh and immediately said, “Then it’s settled!”
Ning Chuchu looked at her ex-fiancé. This man had always been dignified, calm, and composed; she had never seen him lose his composure or panic.
But even a true bodhisattva like Pei Xingyan, a monk, couldn’t stand Huahua. She wondered, could Xie Jinqiu handle it?
When Ning Chuchu and the system looked at Xie Jinqiu again, a hint of sympathy crept across their faces.
Xie Jinqiu, who accidentally caught their strange glances, said, “…?”
Something is wrong…
