Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Si Nian left unhurriedly.

Just then, Chen Bitong was seen trembling as she wiped her cheeks with a wet towel, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

"Who put glue in my cosmetics to ruin me?!"

Chen Bitong's voice trembled with anger.

Her eyelashes were stuck messily to her skin, and her watery eyes were now stinging and tears were streaming down her face.

The skin around her eyes was wrinkled and hardened by the glue. The maid tried to help clean it up, but instead of removing the glue, she pulled out several of Chen Bitong's eyelashes.

Chen Bitong screamed and told the maid to get away!

Her voice wasn't quiet.

Lin Tinghan was quickly startled as well. He looked at Chen Bitong with surprise, "Bitong, what happened to your face?"

Chen Bitong choked back tears, covering her face. "Tinghan, I don't know who's trying to harm me. They actually put glue in my cosmetics. My face is covered in glue, and I can't even open my eyes..."

"How could this happen?"

Lin Tinghan stepped forward to check, but Chen Bitong quickly stepped back and lowered her head even further.

Chen Bitong refused, saying, "I've called the family doctor. Let the doctor handle it. I must look terrible right now, so don't look at me."

With a sob in her voice, she said, "Was it because of our sudden appearance that someone felt uncomfortable and wanted to vent their anger...?"

Lin Tinghan subconsciously turned his head to look at Si Nian, and then he said, "Nian Nian is not that kind of person."

Chen Bitong didn't argue with Lin Tinghan; she just kept crying.

"If our presence is truly unwelcome, I can take Hengheng away from here. Tinghan, I don't want to cause trouble for you and Niannian."

"Don't talk about that now, the doctor is here, let's take care of your face."

For some reason, when Lin Tinghan heard Chen Bitong say that, he subconsciously refuted Si Nian's words. He said, "I'll have someone check the surveillance footage to see who dares to openly harm people. Don't make wild guesses before you have evidence."

"it is good."

Soon, the surveillance footage was retrieved.

Surveillance footage shows that Si Nian went to the master bedroom around midnight and stayed for about two minutes.

Lin Tinghan's eyes darkened slightly. "Si Nian, come here."

Si Nian walked over.

"What did you do in the master bedroom last night?"

I'll pull out your son's hair and do a paternity test to see if you really cheated on him.

Si Nian naturally didn't say these words aloud.

She said, "I went back to look for the charger, but I couldn't find it, so I came out."

Chen Bitong then spoke up, "You're just looking for a charger? Then why was glue mixed into the cosmetics in the room?"

"So, Sister Bitong went to my bridal chamber, used my cosmetics, and then found glue in them? Does that mean... someone wanted to harm me? But by accident, Sister Bitong used my cosmetics?" Si Nian looked at Lin Tinghan with feigned surprise.

Chen Bitong explained, "I moved here rather suddenly, and I didn't prepare anything. I was just thinking of temporarily using your cosmetics, but I didn't expect..."

Si Nian continued, "I never expected that the person with ulterior motives would harm you instead of me. How despicable! We must find the culprit and not let him off easily."

Lin Tinghan tugged at his collar, somewhat annoyed, and continued asking the person checking the surveillance footage, "Keep investigating further. Besides Nian Nian, isn't there anyone else who went in?"

"Also, the young master went to the master bedroom this afternoon..."

Si Nian saw on the surveillance footage that Lin Ziheng was clamoring to go play in the master bedroom.

The nanny who was taking care of him couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to take him inside.

"Bring Hengheng over here," Lin Tinghan ordered.

Chen Bitong bit her lip, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

As expected, Lin Ziheng looked guilty when he was brought over. He hesitated before approaching Chen Bitong and asked, "Mom, is your face alright?"

Lin Tinghan bent down slightly and asked Lin Ziheng, "Did you play a prank yesterday and put glue in Aunt Niannian's cosmetics?"

"No...it wasn't me..." Lin Ziheng answered softly.

Si Nian then pushed Lin Tinghan away and said fiercely to Lin Ziheng, "Your prank has really ruined your mother's life! Do you know that if the glue on her face can't be removed, your mother will become an ugly monster! Not only that, she might also go blind and won't be able to see you anymore!"

"No, Mom, Mom, don't go blind!" Upon hearing this, Lin Ziheng immediately hugged Chen Bitong's leg and started crying.

"Hengheng, don't listen..."

Si Nian interrupted Chen Bitong in time.

"Hengheng, you need to apologize to your mother right away and reflect on your actions. You shouldn't have played that prank, or your mother won't forgive you!"

Lin Ziheng's face turned red from crying; a four-and-a-half-year-old child is always easily frightened.

Soon, amidst her sobs, she confessed everything.

Chen Bitong felt a little tired. She really thought that Si Nian wanted to get revenge on her, so she did this. She didn't expect it was Lin Ziheng.

"Mom, I was wrong. I didn't mean to play a prank on you. I just hate that bad woman. Waaah, I don't want you to become an ugly monster. Only bad women become ugly monsters."

"Lin Ziheng!" Lin Tinghan snapped angrily, "Didn't I tell you to be polite to Aunt Niannian? Who taught you to keep calling her a 'bad woman'?"

Lin Ziheng flinched in fright.

Lin Tinghan added, "Go apologize to Aunt Niannian, hurry up."

Without hesitation, Lin Ziheng said, "I'm sorry, Hengheng knows she was wrong. Daddy, waaaah... I know I was wrong..."

Lin Ziheng cried and threw himself into Lin Tinghan's arms. Lin Tinghan hesitated for a moment, then picked him up.

Chen Bitong advised, "Tinghan, Hengheng didn't do it on purpose. He knows he was wrong. He's still young, so let's not be too harsh and scare him."

Lin Tinghan hummed in agreement and carried Lin Ziheng down to the lobby. "Alright, little man, don't cry. Daddy will take you to see your newly decorated toy room."

"Niannian, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now." Chen Bitong said to Si Nian as she watched Lin Tinghan's retreating figure.

Before Si Nian could respond, Chen Bitong continued, "Hengheng is a bit naughty, but luckily Tinghan is a decent father and is very patient in teaching him."

"..."

"By the way, why don't you make Hengheng a loving breakfast later to help you get closer?"

Hengheng and Tinghan have similar tastes; they don't eat scallions or cilantro, and are allergic to peanuts, mangoes, and pollen.

I promised Tinghan I would teach you how to take care of the child properly. I'll go to the kitchen to check on things in an hour.

Si Nian showed no intention of moving. She said meaningfully, "Sister Bi Tong, I think that as someone who has only met your son who came from another time, you should try to get closer to him. As an outsider, I won't disturb you two and help you strengthen your relationship."

"I almost forgot, Sister Bitong used to cook for Lin Tinghan. It's been so long since I've had your cooking, I really miss it. Remember to make me some breakfast if you make it!"

Chen Bitong took a deep breath and corrected, "I'm a senior nutritionist, not a cook!"
