bring over a ring. He approached Jiang Ze and his companions with great politeness and said: "This was found by a maid while cleaning Mr. Zou's room, under the table. Such a valuable item, it would b...Ning Shu only felt a blank in his mind, he was completely stunned, remembering that the original owner had committed suicide because of heartache..., so he wasn't using the other person's body.

but it was given by Lingling.

So, he doesn't actually have any blood relation to Mother Ning. But why would Qi Jun be so sure

The young man found that his composure had been utterly shattered.

because Qi Jun completely doesn't play by the rules.

Ning Shu pursed her lips, still trying to call Lingling, and said to the man, "Mr. Qi, do you have any evidence Just because I don't look like my original self"

Qi Jun looked at him and said, "Because I had a paternity test done on you and Aunt Ning."

Ning Shu froze, he looked at the man across from him.

Suddenly, he remembered that day when he visited Ning's mother, she had gotten a new haircut. He instantly had a guess, his breath caught for a moment, and after a while, he found his voice: "So that day at the hospital, my mother..."

Qi Jun said calmly: “This is the fastest way to get yours.”

His eyes were fixed on the young man from beginning to end, but with an invisible pressure. He said in a low voice, “I’m also very surprised that Ningning and Aunt Ning have no blood relation at all.”

Qi Jun took out that document and placed it in front of the young man.

Those phoenix eyes stared at him: "I'm even more surprised that if Nining switched places with him, she could do it without a trace, and even Aunt Ning couldn't notice."

Ning Shu's breathing became more rapid.

His brain, however, was calm. He hadn't expected Qi Jun's intelligence to surpass his and Ling Ling's predictions.

Logically, Qi Jun shouldn't have suspected that he wasn't from this world.

Even Ning Shu couldn't admit it, because he still had a mission. Ling Ling had said that he couldn't reveal anything related to the mission, or else all his efforts would be in vain.

Then, after a moment of silence, he admitted: “I’m not related to Auntie Ning by blood.”

Ning Shu's brain was also working rapidly, and he continued, "Aunt Ning, he asked me to help take care of him."

Qi Jun stared at him, his voice low: “Is he talking about Ningning replacing someone”

Ning Shu nodded. "...Hmm, but I can't tell you where he is."

He pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "As for Lin Qian, I was just having a dream. I never thought this dream would actually come true. In the dream, Lin Qian was Qi Zong's destined person."

Ning Shu looked straight at the man. He appeared calm and composed. However, his palm was slightly sweaty because he was nervous and apprehensive.

Ning Shu wasn't naturally a liar, his eyelashes even trembled uncontrollably.

This is a subconscious little action he takes when he's lying.

including the lips would gently purse.

Opposite Qi Jun looked at him for a while, his tone was quite calm and said: "Is that so Secretary Ning feels that what he did is a premonition dream"

Ning Shu's body relaxed a little as he noticed the change in expression on the man's refined and handsome face.

He thought Qi Jun might have believed his words a little.

Then Ning Shu subconsciously followed the other person's words and walked: "... At first, when I had this dream, I didn't take it to heart." He told Lingling about how Lin Qian met and fell in love with Qi Jun in this world, then pursed his lips and continued, "Until I saw Lin Qian really appear at the company..."

Qi Jun just listened quietly.

He interrupted the youth's words and said, "The first time I saw her, I had different feelings for Ms. Ning than for Lin Qian."

Ning Shu's eyelashes trembled again, he didn't stop speaking, only continuing, "Qi Zong, do you believe me"

Qi Jun reached out and touched it.

His hand rested on the youth's nape, and he said in a tender voice: "When Ningning lies, she hates it most when she looks into my eyes."

Ning Shu's heart tightened.

Then came Qi Jun's calm voice: "But Ningning, didn't you forget that if one person replaces another, it's impossible to be so flawless. Because the people around will notice, including the judicial system..."

Ning Shuxin sank slightly, she didn't expect Qi Jun to be so perceptive.

Qi Jun lowered his head and said to him, "And I found out that Aunt Ning's son had tendencies toward ***Zs*** because of money a few months ago. And just shortly after that, Ningning appeared...."

"I went to look for him, but I couldn't find him. He seemed to have vanished into thin air, and Ningning appeared out of nowhere as well...."

So, I guess Aunt Ning's son is very likely not in this world anymore. Because he has passed away, right

"And Ningning's appearance was to replace his vacancy."

Ning Shu broke out in a cold sweat behind his back. He hadn't expected that Qi Jun was just making an educated guess. It turned out to be almost certain, and his face paled slightly.

The moment fell silent.

Qi Jun held his hand, and said in a calm voice, "Is Ningning a god"

Ning Shu met the man's gaze and didn't know what to say. She shifted her eyes away and opened her mouth, saying, "...No."

Qi Jun said again, "Then why is Ningning here"

Ning Shu discovered that he had been led astray. He used a slightly cold and stiff tone to dryly say, "...Qi Zong's imagination is too big."

Qi Jun watched the young man dodge his gaze.

He lowered his head, kissed her hand, and said in a low voice, "It's good that Ningning isn't a god. If she were, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it."

Ning Shu gritted his teeth, knowing that Qi Zong already had him pegged as an outsider in this world.

He was also a little flustered, not knowing what to do.

But no matter what, Qi Jun always found a way through his words. The young man simply shut up and didn't speak.

Qi Jun's gaze fell upon him, inch by inch, on his eyebrows and eyes. Although he looked elegant and handsome, there was a hint of aggression in his demeanor.

It is everywhere, all the time.

He said again, "If Ningning isn't a god, then there should be something around her like a god."

Ning Shu: “...”

Lingo, who arrived just in time, heard this and was instantly so scared that he almost shrunk back. He trembled and said, "...Host, how did he know"

Ning Shu said silently, "... you ask me, I don't know either."

Zero was almost scared to death, wasn't he He had never seen a man like Qi Jun before. He could even guess Zero's existence, which terrified Zero.

"Ling Ling went pale and started spinning around, her voice frantic. "Host, you absolutely can't admit it! This is top secret. If it got out, this world would be in chaos..."

Qi Jun's gaze fell on the young man, so he knew very well what kind of reaction the other person would have when he uttered this sentence with a cloudless and breezy tone.

He stared intently, his voice low: "Did it make Ning integrate with the surroundings"

Ning Shu's eyelashes trembled, and after a long while, she finally found her voice: "...Qi Zong's guess is a bit too far-fetched."

Qi Jun looked at him quietly, then said peacefully: "Ning Ning seems nervous because its existence is not meant to be known"

Ning Shu instantly stiffened.

"Seems like I guessed right," Qi Jun said nonchalantly, lowering his head. He held the young man's hand, his grip tightening slightly: "I'm not curious about what it is, or what kind of being it is. All I want to know is, will it threaten Ningning's safety"

Ning Shu was completely flustered. He knew that no matter how clever Qi Jun was, he wouldn't know what Ling Ling was.

But as a native of this world, he could surmise the existence of things beyond his own, which was already enough to send chills down one's spine and fill one with awe.

He instinctively wanted to pull his hand away.

Because Ning Shu discovered, no matter how he lied, he could never escape Qi Zong's eyes and mind, because Qi Jun's mind was not something ordinary people could guess.

"Lingling: "Ahhhh! Host, don't panic! First calm him down! Lingling will think of a way!"

Ning Shu lowered her eyes, and after a while, she looked over. Then she shook her head gently.

Ling Ling was going round and round in his head.

Ning Shu, following its instructions, roughly knew how to make up a lie.

So he said, "Do you think Qi always believes they live in a world of books"

Opposite Qi Jun stared at him: "Ning Ning means that the world I live in is actually a book"

Ning Shu pursed her lips and gently nodded.

He half-jokingly said that the world was actually a novel, and Qi Jun and Lin Qian were the protagonists of this book. Qi Jun's love for Lin Qian was also because of the existence of this book.

And his appearance here was just an accident.

....

Qi Jun listened for a while, his face showing no expression.

Ning Shu was unable to guess whether he believed her or not.

He could only continue softly: "...There's no God, just a voice that told me at the beginning that I could live in this world as Aunt Ning."

But Qi Jun said, "Will this sound keep appearing"

Ning Shu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "… It sometimes appears, and sometimes it doesn't."

Qi Jun looked at him for a while.

Then she bent down, embraced him in her arms, and whispered softly, "Will Ningning go back to her original world"

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, he didn't know how to answer this question, because he had made an agreement with Lingling that once the task was completed, he could return to his original world.

Qi Jun's hand on his waist tightened slightly.

Ning Shu came back to her senses and could only purse her lips and say, "...I'm already dead in my world, I guess there's no way to go back."

Qi Jun, however, stared at him for a long while.

Then, in a low voice, he said: “Ning Secretary, don’t leave. If you leave, I will go mad.” out. 。Then, after a slight pause, he asked again about the question that had been left unanswered before. 。Ning Shu then replied, "I asked him to wait for us, Captain." 。Ning Shu came back to her sen...
