The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent

“Since you’re here, how about I treat you to a cup of tea?”

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Xiao Ying’s face.

Xiao Ying frowned and was about to dodge when she was enveloped by a shadow. She heard a scream.

Xiao Ying looked up and saw Cheng Yang grabbing the gangster’s hand with an unusually cold expression. The scream earlier had been emitted by this gangster.

The gangster kept begging for mercy. Cheng Yang let go of him in disdain and said, “Get lost.”

The man’s eyes were filled with hatred as he ran away.

A layer of mist slowly rose in Xiao Ying’s eyes. She choked on her words. “Brother.”

Cheng Yang hugged her and frowned. “Why are you here alone?”

Xiao Ying was surprised. Why did he seem to know that she would come?

Cheng Yang continued, “If you saw me here, you should have called someone. Why did you foolishly barge in yourself?”

Xiao Ying said, “It’s all because you disappeared for half a month.”

The amulet suddenly said, “Master, ask him where he was previously.”

Xiao Ying did as she was told and asked, “Have you been here the entire time?”

Cheng Yang said, “I don’t know either. I was in an unfamiliar place before and I woke up here today.”

After saying this answer, the amulet stopped talking, disappearing to do something. It didn’t even stop Xiao Ying from following Cheng Yang home.

After washing up, Xiao Ying realized that she had already gotten used to coming here. Naturally, she had forgotten that the amulet was still preventing them from being together.

Cheng Yang patted her head and said, “Leave the rest to me.”

Xiao Ying felt that it was strange. He looked as if he had found a way to deal with this Heavenly Dao.

Now that she thought about it, Cheng Yang’s sudden disappearance seemed like something he planned.

Xiao Ying was relieved and could now think calmly. At the Wang family’s banquet last time, when Cheng Yang had forced a kiss on her, he had seemed to be planning something. But because of the amulet in her body, Xiao Ying could not ask.

This time, the amulet surprisingly did not object to Xiao Ying living in Cheng Yang’s house. It was probably because it did not want to lose its energy and fall asleep again. In the morning, the amulet said, “Master, start investigating why he became a murderer in the later stages of his life.”

Xiao Ying asked, “Don’t you know?”

The amulet said, “I have no authority to access the memories of the people of this world.”

Sensing that Xiao Ying was slacking off, the amulet said again, “Master, it’s best to do it as soon as possible. Only when his fate has returned to its original trajectory will your fate be completely changed. Otherwise, I don’t mind finding someone else to carry out the mission.”

Xiao Ying was shocked. It could find other people?

She said comfortingly, “Of course I’ll try my best to investigate.”

After hearing her words, the amulet fell silent.

Cheng Yang, who she thought had gone to the office, suddenly came back with Qiao Zihao behind him.

Xiao Ying said in shock, “Why are you two together?”

Cheng Yang said, “Is this child living with you? I met him at the entrance of the complex. He said he was looking for you.”

Xiao Ying was even more puzzled. How did Qiao Zihao find her?

Qiao Zihao pouted and said, “Sister, I was very worried when you didn’t come back last night.”

Xiao Ying paused and quickly apologized.

Ever since she had found out that he was not a normal child, Xiao Ying had not treated him like a child. But now that she saw him like this, she still felt some pity.

Cheng Yang said, “This child will stay with us in the future.”

Xiao Ying nodded with no objection.

The next scene puzzled her even more. After she finished changing, she came out and saw Cheng Yang and Qiao Zihao playing games on the couch.

When had they become so close?
