Spoiled Sparrow

Ruan Qing was so frightened that she slipped and sank down, accidentally choking on some water. Lin Yun'en, who was next to her, quickly grabbed her.

Its head popped out of the water, and Youyou smiled happily in front of her.

"Hehe~ Mommy's bottom is so soft~"

After saying that, he cupped water in his hands and splashed it on his face.

Ruan Qing came to her senses. Luckily, it was just Youyou's prank, otherwise she would have called the police.

Ever since that incident, she's been on edge lately, always feeling like someone's watching her.

Ruan Qing pinched Youyou's soft cheeks: "Don't do that next time."

"Okay~"

*

Moonlight spilled through the French windows, illuminating the snow on the mountain, making it feel as if you were in a snow-covered mountain valley.

Ruan Qing sat on the carpet and played games with Youyou.

"Yun'en, close the curtains."

"OK."

The little dumpling spent several hours in the car during the day and then played wildly in the afternoon.

She was still holding her building blocks when she unknowingly fell asleep in Ruan Qing's arms.

Ruan Qing picked up the child and carefully placed her on the bed, tucking the blanket around her gently.

As Youyou turned to wash up, the phone watch on her wrist suddenly lit up.

She glanced up and caught a glimpse of the woman on the wallpaper.

She looks just like her...

She glanced at the sleeping Youyou and then took off her phone watch.

I went into another room and accidentally tapped on a voice message from a child while unlocking the screen.

【Daddy~ Mommy really has a butterfly on her bottom~ Why doesn't Youyou have one?】

Hearing this, she suddenly remembered what had happened at the hot spring that evening; this was...

She continued scrolling up, where she saw He Xunnan's voice message to the child.

Be good when you go out with Mom.

Have you arrived yet? Take a picture of Dad.

A selfie of the three of them.

Next is a voice message that Youyou sent to He Xunnan before going to the hot spring.

[Dad, you're busy, Yoyo is going to the hot springs with Mommy~ I promise to finish the task Daddy gave me.]

Task......

Could it be to let Youyou confirm the birthmark on her buttock?

Ruan Qing suddenly remembered the question He Xunnan had asked her that day. Could it be? Who exactly is he?

She took out her phone to record their voice conversation and carefully put the phone watch back on her wrist.

"Yun'en, are you ready yet?"

Ruan Qing knocked on the bathroom door.

Lin Yun'en, who was having a long phone conversation with Dong Chenye, could hear the anxiety in her voice.

"I'll talk to you later, goodnight Dr. Dong~"

She hung up the phone and opened the door, her toothbrush still in her mouth.

"What's wrong?"

Ruan Qing closed the door and played the recording she had just made for her.

Lin Yun'en was completely confused after hearing this: "Huh? Why did he let the kid pinch your butt? Is he a pervert?"

"Do I look alike to you, He Xunnan?"

Lin Yun'en quickly shook her head: "It doesn't seem like it."

Aside from having a nose and eyes, they are completely different.

"I'm telling you, I have a feeling he might be investigating me."

Lin Yun-en: "How should I say it? How should I say it?"

Ruan Qing recalled their first formal meeting, when he helped her get rid of the people stalking her.

Later, they invited her to the company to do facial AI testing, saying that it could see a person's face at different stages of their life.

That same day, he met Youyou at his company. The little girl called her "Mom" the moment she saw her.

"What did Youyou say back then... Oh right, she said that the picture of Mom on Dad's bedside table looks a lot like me."

Ruan Qing felt increasingly uneasy; it was all too coincidental.

"Especially a few days ago, he asked me if I had ever thought about looking for my biological parents. At the time, I just felt that I had the same experience as Youyou, and he was simply concerned. Now, thinking about it..."

"He definitely planned this!"

Lin Yun'en analyzed all the possibilities for Ruan Qing.

Lin Yun-en: "But he really doesn't look like you at all."

In terms of appearance, Ruan Qing and Fu Chen have been together for a long time, and at first glance, they look quite similar.

Ruan Qing couldn't understand something: "If he's my family, why didn't he just tell me directly?"

Lin Yun'en suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"I have a bold idea, would you like to hear it?"

Ruan Qing: "Speak quickly."

"You just said the young woman in the photo on his bedside table looks a lot like you. Do you have any other options besides your lover's photo?"

He went so far as to have his daughter acknowledge you as her mother just to get close to you, it must be because…”

Lin Yun'en spoke vividly, and deliberately stopped here to wait for Ruan Qing to ask further questions.

"Why?"

"Because you look like his deceased white moonlight, he took the initiative to approach you, investigate your background, and try to confirm whether you have the same birthmark as his white moonlight."

He suspects that your beloved has been reborn into your body!

In this life, he will cherish it and love you again.

Ruan Qing: ...

Could you please read fewer rebirth novels in your spare time?

Ruan Qing reached out her hand: "Give me your phone."

Lin Yun'en: "What?"

"I uninstalled the novel app for you; you've become obsessed."

"No, baby."

Lin Yun'en protected her phone: "Besides this reason, can you think of any other explanation for that woman who looks a lot like you?"

Not yet.

Ruan Qing sighed sadly, leaned against the wall, and slid down helplessly.

He hugged his legs with both hands and rested his chin on his knees.

"Yun'en, why is my life so dramatic?"

She originally thought she wasn't her parents' biological child, and then meeting Fu Chen was just God playing a joke on her.

Unexpectedly, the series of extraordinary encounters I've had in the past two months have become unavoidable.

"God, can you please stop targeting me alone?"

Lin Yun'en felt both sorry for her and amused by her appearance.

She knelt down and hugged her: "Life is like a play, no one's life is always going badly."

This hurdle might be the last one God has set for you; once you overcome it, tomorrow will come.

Lin Yun'en wiped away her tears: "Why don't we face the challenge head-on? Since he's investigating you behind your back, we can investigate him in return."

Ruan Qing: "You're right, we can't just sit here and wait to die."

next day

Ruan Qing didn't sleep much all night; every time she closed her eyes, all she could see was Shen Zhaolan's face.

She dialed her number at 6:30 a.m. and kept calling until 8 a.m., but no one answered.

If what He Xunan said is true, and her adoptive mother deceived her back then, then Shen Zhaolan will be the only one who knows her true background.

She paced back and forth anxiously.

If she cannot be found, the only option is to have her blood sample taken by the police and compared with the DNA database.

Within the private domain of Yunyin Mountain Villa.

Fu Chen leaned back in his armchair, holding a fountain pen, annotating the document.

Chen Yan knocked on the door and came in.

"President Fu, this is the information about President He that you had your subordinates investigate."

A stack of A4 documents, each about 20 centimeters in size, is neatly arranged on the desktop.

He picked it up casually, and the veins on the back of his hand gradually bulged.

"Abroad?"

Chen Yan: "Yes, there is almost no publicly available information about the He family. They immigrated to Country Y twenty years ago and have never returned."

"The information I've gathered from several sources is consistent: the He family only has one son, He Xun Nan, whose original name was He Li."

only son......

Fu Chen slowly and methodically flipped through the documents, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

"Sure?"
