Chapter 64 Jinye, Do You Like Children

Mu Zhi sized up Jian Xiaoning solemnly, “Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Jian Xiaoning, don’t you think it’s a waste that you chose to be a pediatrician?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Why is that? Do you feel I’m more suited to be a private investigator?”

Jian Xiaoning gave Mu Zhi a playful smile.

Mu Zhi immediately turned her face away, “Let’s not go there, you’re more suited to be a comedian.”

“No! I’m serious. I’m not making this up!”

Jian Xiaoning took on a stern expression. She even removed her seatbelt so she could lean in closer to Mu Zhi since she had no intention of starting the car!

“Have you seen the recent viral post? I saw on the net that there’s this family who only enjoys light food except for the original poster, he ended up realizing that he was adopted, his birth parents came from Szechuan!”

“…”

Mu Zhi stared at Jian Xiaoning, dumbfounded.

Jian Xiaoning pressed on, “The post was flooded with comments saying that they found their birth parents through the same way.”

“…”

Mu Zhi was even more dumbstruck.

“Mama!” At this moment, Mu Xiaomu suddenly interrupted. She looked at Mu Zhi, “Mama, the mister was here, I want to play at mister’s house!”

Following this, she continued munching on the chips obsequiously.

Jian Xiaoning felt her words finally received some sort of recognition, staring at Mu Zhi smugly.

“Don’t you think that Mu Xiaomu and Lu Jinye are drawn to each other naturally? This might have been a spontaneous reaction between a father and daughter.’

“Isn’t Xiaomu drawn to you naturally too?”

Mu Zhi rolled her eyes at Jian Xiaoning and urged, “Start the car, I’m hungry, let’s bring Xiaomu for some food.”

Jian Xiaoning fastened her seatbelt. While taking the wheels, she insisted to stay on the same topic.

“I’m not kidding, I think you should look into it, get the video surveillance footage from the hotel during that year.”

“So, what if I found it?”

Mu Zhi’s tone carried indifference.

She had tried to find it before.

At the time, she was certain that she had experienced intimacy with Lu Junnian. So, she never thought of retrieving the surveillance footage.

In the end… When she found out that she was set up by Xu Changshu, followed closely by getting framed and boycotted in the medical world, she could no longer bother about the investigation.

Moreover, the absurd medical bill for delivering Mu Xiaomu gave her no breathing room at all.

She thought about looking for the man and starting a family with him, raising Mu Xiaomu together.

However, when she returned, the hotel was no longer there. It had been converted to a night club.

Thus, she might not be able to find any personnel from the hotel at all, let alone the video surveillance footage.

Jian Xiaoning had plans to pursue further, exhorting her to continue trying. However, when she turned her face to Mu Zhi, she could see the hint of exhaustion and helplessness on her face.

After hesitating briefly, she decided to relent.

Instead, she said, “I’ve discovered a restaurant, food is great, they serve fusion food, I guarantee you there is none other like it, it’s not far from here, let’s go.”

Upon changing topics, Mu Zhi immediately obliged. The dejected spirits were also quickly put away.

When they arrived at the fusion restaurant, Jian Xiaoning first went to join the queue, while Mu Zhi circled to the backseat to bring Mu Xiaomu off the car.

Then, she swiftly went to the restaurant.

However, when Mu Zhi and Jian Xiaoning entered the restaurant, there were two individuals standing afar.

“Qingqing, do we go in?”

Only when the woman reminded Xiao Qingqing did she take her eyes of Mu Zhi and the rest.

Softly, she responded, “Sure.”

“Okay, let’s go, what were you looking at?”

Asked the woman. Xiao Qingqing shook her head, “Nah, nothing.”

She did not say a word to her best friend… After entering the restaurant, she deliberately chose a table far away from Mu Zhi, but close enough to observe every inch of their movement.

After staring for a long moment, Xiao Qingqing rose to her feet and went to the washroom to give Shen Mobo a call.

When the call was picked up, Xiao Qingqing instantly changed to a gentle tone, “Mobo, are you busy?”

Shen Mobo was in the middle of a meeting. He raised his palm to beckon for everyone for a pause, then left the room, “Not really, what is it?”

“I need your help to look into someone.”

“Who?”

“Who the little girl in the photo is to Mu Zhi.”

Xiao Qingqing hesitated and continued, “I’ll send the photo to you in a while, appreciate it, Mobo.”

“Sure, you’re welcome.”

Shen Mobo received the photo shortly after hanging up the call. He then swiftly opened the photo, zoomed in to peer at the little girl.

Mu Zhi was feeding the girl. Through the photo, he could tell that the girl was obedient and adorable.

His intuition told him that Mu Zhi was the little girl’s mother.

However, since Xiao Qingqing had requested for an investigation, Shen Mobo would see to it.

…

During nightfall.

Xiao Qingqing had not received news from Shen Mobo. She checked the time and decided to put on a coat before leaving home.

She headed straight to Lu Jinye’s workplace.

In this instance, the lights in Lu Jinye’s office were still turned on.

Xiao Qingqing got into the elevator and headed to Lu Jinye’s office’s floor. Noticing the lights seeping through his office, she knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Lu Jinye invited her in without batting an eye.

Xiao Qingqing entered. She did not a say word, sitting on the couching silently.

Lu Jinye thought it was a staff member. Seeing that the person said nothing, he could not help but raised his head.

Only to realize it was her.

Xiao Qingqing realized that Lu Jinye had noticed her and quickly stood up, approaching Lu Jinye with a smile.

She intentionally circled behind Lu Jinye’s back and pressed her soft, silky hands on his shoulders, hoping to help him relax.

Lu Jinye held her hands and took them away in a natural motion, “It’s fine, don’t worry about it.”

He was avoiding body contact with Xiao Qingqing without noticing that himself.

Xiao Qingqing did not bother. She stared at Lu Jinye solemnly and put up a nonchalant front, “I’ve been watching a show lately, it’s about fathers bringing their kids out to play, showing the series of interesting events that happen during the trips. The kids in there are gorgeous, some of them are cute, some are simply stunning, there’s a genius in there too.”

Lu Jinye had her eyes at Xiao Qingqing. He knew that she had not finished, allowing her to carry on.

Xiao Qingqing realized that Lu Jinye had no intention to respond. She asked, “Jinye, do you like children?”
