The little girl in the photo can’t be seen face-on, but even from the side, it’s clear she looks a lot like Shi Su.
Shi Su was pregnant in the United States! Did you know she had a child?
Do you really know what she has beco after all these years outside?
Yi City zood in on the side of the little girl’s face in the photo, looking at the cute, round face, then glancing at Shi Su’s expression as she held the girl’s hand. It was an expression he had never seen on her face during the years they were together.
Perhaps the words ’maternal instinct’ aren’t enough to describe the resilience and brightness he had never seen before, but at least now, in Shi Su’s life and beliefs, there is sothing unbreakable.
Sothing he couldn’t touch in those five years apart.

After hanging up the call, Shi Su first tried to contact Jun but she didn’t answer.
She then ssaged Jun, asking when she’d be available to take the call, but Jun didn’t respond imdiately.
After all, since Shi Yunyin had started suspecting, Shi Su had to inform Jun of the worst possible outco. The existence of Mianmian wasn’t sothing she absolutely had to hide, but being in the entertainnt industry, the agreent she signed with Jun stated that her work shouldn’t be affected by the child’s presence. The child must be kept hidden and not be discovered by anyone. But if Shi Yunyin wanted to expand the impact of this matter, it would undoubtedly arouse suspicion, even if there was no evidence. Shi Su had to explain this to Jun clearly.
But since Jun wasn’t picking up now, she’d have to wait until Jun was free to discuss it.
From the mont Shi Su’s tone changed after receiving the call, Jing Jihan’s attention shifted from the code on the door to her side.
"What’s wrong?" Jing Jihan asked as he closed the door.
"Shi Yunyin suspects I had a child, but she doesn’t have concrete evidence to prove much. At the mont, it’s only suspicion. I’m not sure if she has any other evidence, but now that I’m in an upward career phase and my popularity has soared in the past few months, if it leaks that I have a daughter, Mianmian’s safety and freedom will be severely impacted, and I can’t explain it to my company or studio." Shi Su looked at the man who approached: "If it were soone else who knew about this, perhaps there’d be a way to keep their mouth shut, but the person is Shi Yunyin..."
There was a mont of silence, and Jing Jihan gazed at her, speaking in a deep, slow voice: "Don’t panic, you still have ."
Shi Su’s heart skipped a beat.
His voice was so calm that no matter how unsettled she was by the situation with Mianmian, his words imdiately provided her with a sense of deep security.
"I know you care about Mianmian, but this matter is going to be troubleso. I never wanted to deny her existence, but because of my unique job, I can’t let Mianmian be exposed to the public too soon as it would impact her too much. But Mianmian’s issue, for you..."
"Ever since I’ve considered you ’mine,’ Mianmian is also part of that circle." Jing Jihan reached out, pinching her cheek. "These things won’t be your worries anymore. Leave it to , I’ll handle it, okay?"
"How will you handle it?"
The man pinched her soft and pink cheeks, then suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her off the sofa into his embrace, holding her tight with a smile on his lips: "Marry first, and I’ll tell you."
She slapped away his hand from her face, but couldn’t escape his embrace. Still in her indoor slippers, she tilted her face to speak, only to be kissed by him suddenly. Her face turned hot instantly, feeling that despite what happened last night... openly kissing at ho like this... such blatant intimacy was sothing she couldn’t imdiately get used to after being single for twenty-four years...
"I’m talking about Mianmian’s situation." Shi Su tried to maintain a serious tone.
The man circled her waist with one arm: "I’m talking about us too; Mianmian’s part of ’us.’"
Shi Su extricated herself from his embrace: "I didn’t plan to do anything about the Shi family’s affairs so soon, but Shi Lingkang’s actions last ti really angered , and I’ve lost all patience with them. Wen Ke has also been secretly helping stir things up; now the Shi family is a ss, and Shi Yunyin might act rashly and bite at random. Once soone stops following the rules, they’re hard to control."
Jing Jihan looked down at her: "Even a mad dog biting indiscriminately wants to survive."
Shi Su: "..."
Jing Jihan glanced at her again: "Not going out?"
That’s right, today he had finally taken so ti to spend the whole day with her, promising they’d have a date today!
Shi Su snapped back, quickly checking the ti: "Ah, where are we going?"
"To put on your shoes."
"...Oh."
She quickly put her phone back into her bag and turned to put on her shoes at the door, asking while doing so: "Are you staying on the thirty-first floor to have dinner with Mianmian and tonight? Then I’ll let Mrs. Qin know and have her make an extra portion for you."
The man had already walked over at so point, and as Shi Su was bending over to adjust her shoe’s angle, suddenly, she was lifted off the ground, unable to call out before being placed on the shoe cabinet at the door.
The cabinet wasn’t very high, and she rarely looked at him from such an angle, but he pressed her gently, kissing her for quite a while, sowhat as if a warning or reprimand lay under the kiss.
Shi Su gazed at him, a bit dazed until he pressed another kiss on her lips before murmuring hoarsely: "I thought you intended to move directly to the thirty-second floor tonight."
Shi Su: "..."
She tried to sit up straight, but he held her neck firmly, leaving her embarrassed expression uncovered: "That... that wouldn’t be good... now isn’t like when we had to be apart a few days ago because of the flu. Wherever I go, Mianmian would definitely follow... this... this isn’t appropriate for children... what if Mianmian sees it..."
Jing Jihan pressed her neck down a bit, leaning close to her lips; his warm breath flared between her lips and nose.
"We’re living together; what inappropriate things could she see?"
He repeatedly turned her shy and evasive face towards him: "Hmm? Tell , what inappropriate for children?"
"..."
"Are you implying that if we live together, we’d be doing inappropriate-for-children things all the ti?"
"...I wasn’t! I didn’t say that! I didn’t think that!" Shi Su surrendered under his grip, almost forehead to forehead, but her lips firmly refused to be swayed.
"But I do." The man murmured softly against her lips.
