The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

The naked eye cannot distinguish between real and fake banknotes, but banknote detectors are high-tech and can detect even the most realistic counterfeit banknotes in an instant, let alone this one which is just a trick to deceive the eye.

As time ticked by, Sweetie gradually became restless.

"Ms. Xu, are you hot?" The manager asked curiously, noticing the sweat dripping from Tian Tian's forehead.

After receiving no response for a while, the manager had no choice but to wave his hand in front of Tian Tian's face, "Miss Xu?"

The ID card was given to her by Master Ziyang, so Tiantian is not used to the name on it yet.

She reached out and touched it, feeling the dampness on her fingertips.

"I'll turn the air conditioner temperature down a bit more." The manager got up and looked for the remote control.

At this moment, the door to the VIP room was pushed open, and the employee named Xiao Wang brought over the money counter.

Sweetie swallowed nervously, watching as Xiao Wang placed the money counter in front of her.

"Shall we begin now?" After adjusting the room temperature, the manager turned around with a smile and asked Sweetie.

Shall we begin?

Sweetie didn't dare answer. If these 'banknotes' couldn't be successfully dispensed from the money detector, would she be reported to the police station by the bank staff on the spot?

If things really develop this way, then it's all over. Under the watchful eyes of the police, her body will transform from an adult into a child. At that point, she won't just be detained; she'll likely be sent to a research institute to be studied as a monster.

The more I thought about it, the more sweat streamed down my forehead.

"Miss Xu?" the manager called out again.

Sweetie turned around and looked at the manager blankly, "Hmm?"

"Can we begin?" the manager asked again.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

"Let's begin." Sweetie thought.

Under the manager's instructions, Xiao Wang fed the money into the printing press little by little.

As the numbers on the monitor kept increasing, Tian Tian rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

It's unbelievable that these 'paper money' can pass the verification of the banknote detector!

Sweetie's heart didn't relax; she kept her eyes glued to the pile until the last stack was placed inside, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Xu, the total is one million. Are these to be deposited separately?" the manager asked.

Sweetie smiled and said, "Please hurry up, I have other things to take care of."

"Okay, I'm already entering your information and starting the deposit service." The manager stared at the computer in front of him, moving the mouse back and forth in his palm.

It was already afternoon when she received her bank card. Sweetie walked out of the bank escorted by the manager; the sky outside was already ablaze with the colors of the setting sun.

I wonder what the situation is like with the Gu family? Are they seriously looking for her?

Looking up at the 3D color screen across the mall, she saw it broadcasting news of her disappearance.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, and the frustration he had felt these past few days instantly lifted, bringing him considerable relief.

With half a day left before she could return to her child's body, she looked at the bank card in her hand and had the urge to spend money and live a carefree life.

But the most important thing now is to withdraw some cash from an ATM at another bank and contact some reporters from third-rate newspapers.

Looking at the mobile phone store on the first floor of the mall, Tian Tian strode into it.

……

"Brother, when are we going back?" Mengmeng sat on the wooden chair, her legs dangling leisurely in the air.

Seeing that the ice cream in her hand was already dripping, Gu Shiyu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and placed it in her hand. "Don't rush back. What do you want to eat later?"

"I miss Uncle Ling," Mengmeng said earnestly.

It's been several days since I helped Uncle Ling meet Aunt Yu Mian. I wonder how he and Aunt Yu Mian are doing?

With these thoughts in mind, Mengmeng felt even more eager to see Xie Beiling.

Having finally found some time alone, Gu Shiyu felt a pang of sadness as he listened to Mengmeng express her longing for Xie Beiling.

"Mengmeng really wants to see Uncle Ling today?" Gu Shiyu asked with a heavy heart.

Mengmeng nodded, "Brother, can we go?"

"If we don't go, is Mengmeng willing?" Gu Shiyu asked in return.

Holding the ice cream in her hand, Mengmeng pouted and began to think seriously.

Seeing her heavy heart, Gu Shiyu couldn't bear to see her troubled, so he said, "Let's go, let's go now."

"Go to Uncle Ling's house?"

"Ah."

"That's great! Mengmeng likes her brother!"

Mengmeng raised both hands and happily rushed into Gu Shiyu's arms.

"Ice cream!" Gu Shiyu dodged backward, but couldn't bear to let Mengmeng miss out.

The melting ice cream in her hand landed squarely on Gu Shiyu's shoulder. In a few brief seconds, the cream instantly stuck to his clothes.

Mengmeng withdrew her sticky hand and stood there guiltily.

"Ice cream is so delicious? Mengmeng even wants my clothes to try it?" Gu Shiyu joked, easing the awkward atmosphere.

Hearing this, Mengmeng's face instantly lit up with joy. "Clothes, clothes, is the ice cream delicious?"

"What did it say?" Gu Shiyu asked, looking at Mengmeng, who was earnestly communicating with the clothes.

Mengmeng turned her cheek to the side, pressing her ear against her clothes. Her long, thick eyelashes fluttered as she nodded repeatedly. "Then Mengmeng will give you ice cream next time. You can't have any more today, okay? Otherwise, brother will get cold."

"Does it still want to eat?" Gu Shiyu asked with a smile.

Mengmeng removed her ears from the clothes and replied in a serious tone, "The clothes said the ice cream is so delicious, it wants a second bite."

"Do you want to give it another bite?" Gu Shiyu's gaze swept over the ice cream in Tian Tian's hand.

The ice cream is all over his clothes, it's filthy, and he can't eat it anymore. Let Mengmeng be happy, let her do whatever she wants.

Mengmeng shook her head and refused, saying, "No, eating too much will make my tummy hurt. And my brother will feel cold and get sick."

Gu Shiyu reached out and took the remaining half of the ice cream. Amidst Mengmeng's surprised voice, he rubbed the ice cream back on the spot where he had just rubbed it.

"elder brother!"

"Okay, it took another bite. We were both satisfied, so I threw the ice cream in the trash can."

Mengmeng nodded with a smile and pointed to her clothes, saying, "Brother, Mengmeng's clothes also want to taste the flavor of ice cream."

The clothes were thin, and the cold ice cream rubbed against them, making the skin feel the chill even through the fabric.

Gu Shiyu allowed the ice cream to get on him, but he didn't agree to Mengmeng doing the same. He turned around and threw the ice cream into the trash can behind him.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Uncle Ling's house."

Mengmeng looked at the trash can, where the ice cream cone stood alone, cone up.
