A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Ji Yichen looked down at Gu Xiaoting, his inner conflict growing stronger.

He knew that Gu Xiaoting's family was very powerful, and if things were really investigated, Niannian and her father would probably get into trouble.

But Ji Yichen also knew that although Niannian's behavior was excessive, it was not without reason;

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, and then slowly said, "Tingting, don't get agitated. If you hadn't targeted Niannian, you wouldn't have gotten beaten up!"

Gu Xiaoting was spoiled at home...

Her sobs subsided slightly, and she looked up, her dark circles filled with confusion and anger: "I... I just wanted her to stay away from you. Why is she allowed to stick to you like this?"

Ji Yichen frowned. He hadn't expected Gu Xiaoting to be so jealous that she would actually lay a hand on Niannian over such a trivial matter.

He patiently explained, "Tingting, Niannian is my friend. We don't have the kind of relationship you're imagining. You should know that I've always considered you my younger sister."

Upon hearing this, a complex light flashed in Gu Xiaoting's eyes. She bit her lip and retorted unwillingly:

"But I don't want to be your sister. I... I like you, Brother Ji."

Ji Yichen was stunned. He hadn't expected Gu Xiaoting to confess her feelings so suddenly, which made him feel very awkward.

He sighed softly and said, "Tingting, you're still young and don't understand what true love is. Right now, the most important thing is to treat your eye injury. Let's go see a doctor first, and we can talk about other things later."

As he spoke, Ji Yichen carefully helped Gu Xiaoting up, preparing to take her to see a doctor.

Meanwhile, Niannian hurried back to NJ Company. All the way there, her mind was still reeling from the intense conflict that had just occurred.

When Jian Xiaohan saw Niannian appear before him, his eyes widened in surprise; Niannian's skirt was covered in dust, and her once neat clothes were now filthy.

What's even more striking is that her tightly clenched little fists are slightly red, as if she's been through a fierce fight.

Jian Xiaohan's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward, asking with concern and anxiety, "Niannian, what happened? How did you get like this? Are you hurt?"

His voice betrayed his barely concealed anxiety.

Niannian took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then recounted the events to Jian Xiaohan.

It turns out that when she was outside, an unreasonable person tried to bully her, but the brave Nian Nian did not back down. Instead, she fought back and successfully protected herself.

After listening to her recount the entire incident, Jian Xiaohan was somewhat shocked. However, he felt even more admiration and relief for his daughter.

After all, hearing that Niannian was able to face difficulties so strongly and protect herself effectively, he, as her father, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He gently reached out and softly brushed the dust off Niannian's body, a relieved smile on his face as he said:

"Niannian has really grown up! She can protect herself so well now! Daddy is so proud of you!"

Niannian raised her head, lifting her small face with unwavering determination, her bright eyes sparkling with a resolute light;

With a smirk, she confidently replied, "Hehe! If that person dares to lay a hand on me again, I won't hold back at all; I'll definitely retaliate fiercely!"

Seeing her daughter's stubborn and brave appearance, Jian Xiaohan knew very well that her daughter was not the kind of child who would cause trouble or make unreasonable demands.

Since the other party provoked first, Nian Nian's retaliation is understandable.

Thinking about this, he secretly pondered how he should deal with the matter next.

On the one hand, we need to closely monitor the development of the situation to prevent the Gu family from taking further action because of this matter;

On the other hand, we must also make various preparations in advance to ensure that Nian Nian and her family are safe.

As night fell, all was quiet except for the twinkling of stars in the vast night sky.

After personally driving Niannian safely to the Fu family, Jian Xiaohan rushed back to his company without stopping.

Although it was late at night, for this business tycoon, the busy work had just begun.

As he stepped into the familiar office, an invisible pressure washed over him.

Even so, he quickly adjusted his mindset and threw himself wholeheartedly into the mountain of documents and urgent tasks.

However, whenever there was a brief respite, his thoughts would wander like a wild horse, involuntarily drifting towards Nian Nian.

He knew full well that, given the Gu family's influence and influence in the business world, they would definitely not let this conflict go unpunished.

Therefore, he had to plan ahead and develop a foolproof plan to ensure that Nian Nian and the entire company could weather this storm safely.

Meanwhile, in the warm and cozy house of the Fu family, Niannian, under the careful care of the servants, shed her fatigue and dust and changed into a clean and comfortable set of clothes.

At this moment, her mood had gradually calmed down;

But deep in my mind, Gu Xiaoting's resentful face and her chilling eyes would still occasionally surface.

As night deepened, the clock quietly struck midnight. Niannian's room remained brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Niannian sat quietly on the soft sofa, holding a book that smelled of ink in her hands, her gaze wandering between the pages.

However, the dense text seemed to lose its appeal, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not concentrate on reading it.

Suddenly, a series of urgent calls came from the phoenix bronze mirror, "Niannian, is Niannian there?"

The voice belonged to Pei Yunjing, and it was filled with deep anxiety.

Since returning to the palace from outside, Pei Yunjing immediately reported to his father about the freezing rain, and then threw himself into the busy palace defense work.

In this way, time flies by, and before we know it, we've been busy until this very moment.

Just then, Nian Nian, who was quietly reading a book, heard the shouts from the bronze mirror and quickly put down her book.

With light steps, he quickly walked to the bronze mirror, sat down, and asked with a mixture of doubt and concern:

"What's wrong? Brother Yun Jing!"

At this moment, Niannian was wearing a set of cute pink bunny cotton pajamas, and her long, shiny black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. This made her look even more charming and lovable.

However, when Pei Yunjing saw Nian Nian like this through the bronze mirror, he was momentarily dumbfounded.
