Chi Baiyi felt that both possibilities were very likely.

The question is, who hates them so much that they want to kill them all?

Furthermore, this happened ten years later. Even if they start taking precautions now, can they catch the real culprit in advance?

"Dad, do you think Cui Yi is the murderer who set fire to our family and killed us?" Chi Nao asked.

"You've been looking for the murderer?" Chi Baiyi's deep gaze softened.

“Yes.” Chi Nai nodded her fluffy little head. “Ever since I saw the uncle wearing the yellow mask at the market, I’ve wanted to find the murderer. If I catch the murderer now, then the three of us won’t die, and we can stay happily together forever!”

Chi Baiyi's eyes flickered, her heart filled with emotion.

He hugged Chi Nao and said gently, "My darling, you've worked hard."

She endured so much all by herself.

"Why didn't you tell Dad sooner that you traveled from ten years in the future?" Chi Baiyi said.

Chi Nai pouted slightly, looking a little aggrieved: "If I had told you sooner, would you have believed me? Would you have believed that Mom was my mom? You might have even thought that Mom and I were in cahoots to lie to you!"

Chi Baiyi was speechless.

If he had no feelings for Qin Yuanyao or even disliked her a bit, he might actually think, like Chi Naozi said, that she was deceived by Qin Yuanyao and that they were in cahoots.

“I’m just waiting for you to fall in love with Mommy before I tell you, then you should believe me. It’s your own fault for not falling in love with Mommy sooner,” Chi Nao said, raising her chin slightly.

Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao were both taken aback, and their cheeks flushed to varying degrees.

One was surprised that a child had seen through her thoughts.

A surprising fact that a child unintentionally revealed.

"Alright," Chi Baiyi gently stroked Chi Nao's little head, not wanting her to talk nonsense anymore: "Daddy knows you've had a hard time and worked very hard."

Chi Nao gave a haughty "humph": "Dad, you know how hard I work. You should hurry up and be as loving as you are ten years from now."

Chi Baiyi: "..."

Qin Yuanyao: "..."

Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao blushed even more and looked away.

Before she knew it, it was almost 10 p.m., and Qin Yuanyao wanted to go back to the hotel.

But Chi Cheese grabbed her leg, preventing her from leaving.

"Mom, you know you're my mom, why are you still leaving? Are you trying to abandon me?" Chi Nao's little face was full of grievance.

"Do you know how hard and painful it was for me before? You are clearly my mother, but I can't call you Mom, I can only call you Sister Qin. Do you know that my heart was bleeding every time I called you Sister Qin?" Chi Nao said, her voice trembling with tears, on the verge of crying.

Qin Yuanyao felt extremely distressed.

Although she loves Chi Cheese very much, she has never fully accepted that she has a five-year-old daughter named Chi Cheese.

Such a surreal thing, no one could accept it quickly.

However, if she put herself in Chi Cheese's shoes, she could understand Chi Cheese's feelings.

Qin Yuanyao quickly softened her heart: "I won't leave tonight."

Chi Nai's little face immediately lit up like a sunflower.

"Will Mom sleep with me tonight?" Chi Nao looked at her expectantly.

"Of course." Qin Yuanyao patted her head.

Chi Nia was overjoyed.

That evening, Chi Nao also took a bath with Qin Yuanyao.

After taking a shower and applying lotion, Chi Naozi sweetly asked Qin Yuanyao to carry her to bed.

Once in bed, Chi Nao rolled into Qin Yuanyao's arms, asking her mother to tell her a bedtime story.

Qin Yuanyao noticed that Chi Nao was being unusually affectionate and clingy towards her tonight.

Although Chi Naozi used to be clingy to her, she always restrained herself and would maintain an appropriate distance from Qin Yuanyao in places where Qin Yuanyao felt it was inappropriate.

But clearly, Chi Cheese doesn't have those concerns tonight.

She finally revealed her deepest secret and reconnected with her mother.

She can now act as spoiled as she does with her mother, just like she would ten years later.

After listening attentively to her mother's story, Chi Nao raised her bright, watery eyes and looked at Qin Yuanyao, saying, "Mom, do you know that ten years from now, I will often lie in your arms like this, listening to you tell me bedtime stories?"

Qin Yuanyao looked at her with kind eyes and a smile in them: "Is that so?"

“Yes.” Chi Nao nodded her little head, then suddenly frowned. “It’s just that Daddy is so annoying. He always tries to take you from me. I said I wanted to sleep with you, but Daddy said no, that I’m too old and have to sleep alone. Humph, Daddy is clearly an adult, but he always makes Mommy sleep with him, and he still has the nerve to say that to me.”

Qin Yuanyao: "..."

Qin Yuanyao looked somewhat embarrassed.

She imagined the scene Chi Cheese described and felt a mix of warmth, amusement, and a little embarrassment.

"Mom, do you know what I like most about now compared to ten years from now?" Chi Nao's bright eyes sparkled with a mischievous light.

"Which point?" Qin Yuanyao asked cooperatively.

“Now Dad can’t take you away from me. I said I want to sleep with you, and Dad can’t say that Mom has to sleep with him.” Chi Nao happily shook her little head.

Qin Yuanyao: "..."

The blush on Qin Yuanyao's face became even more pronounced.

Chi Nai's little face suddenly turned serious again: "But, Mom, there's something I'll really like ten years from now, but I really dislike now."

Qin Yuanyao was amused by her rich and varied little expressions that seemed to change like faces.

She chimed in, "What is it?"

"Ten years from now, you'll kiss me all the time, but you've never kissed me now," Chi Nao complained, feeling wronged.

Qin Yuanyao looked slightly taken aback.

She definitely did not kiss the pool cheese.

Before this, even if Chi Nao liked her a lot, she was still a complete stranger to her.

Aside from Chi Cheese's immediate family members, no one else is allowed to kiss her.

Even when Chi Nai is a little older, her immediate family members will no longer be allowed to kiss her freely.

Qin Yuanyao felt it was necessary to explain this point to Chi Nao.

"Cheese, you can't let just anyone kiss you..."

Before Qin Yuanyao could finish speaking, Chi Naozi interrupted her.

“I know. You and Dad often tell me that only you, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Great-grandpa, and Great-grandma can kiss me, and no one else can.” Chi Cheese paused, then continued, “But you are my mother, so you can kiss me as much as you want.”

Chi Nao raised her little head, turned her face slightly to the side, and stared at Qin Yuanyao with her big, watery almond-shaped eyes, making her intentions as obvious as possible.

Her lively little face seemed to be filled with the plea, "Mommy, come and kiss me!"
