Chu Chu rarely stretched out her little paws, but she suspiciously pinched her segmented, chubby arms. They seemed... a little bit fleshy!

Lan Qingyue: "President Qi, what do you think..."

I should put the child down. If this continues, I won't be able to put my mind at ease.

Lan Qingyue had a miserable look on her face.

Chu Chu was filled with deep doubt. She swung her chubby legs, her little voice low and dejected, "Uncle Qi, Chu Chu wants to walk by herself, Chu Chu wants to exercise, Chu Chu wants to...lose weight~~~"

Waaaaaah~~~ Although I'm just chubby, not fat, she decided to lose a tiny bit of weight so that the person carrying her wouldn't have to suffer.

Just a tiny bit will do.

Stay cute.

Being cute is the most important thing!

That shows awareness!

Lan Qingyue secretly gave Chu Chu a thumbs up.

Qi Yu stared at Lan Qingyue for a few seconds, then put the chubby little one down. The moment the little guy landed, he completely forgot about his "diet" and happily ran to his friends, shouting, "Brothers and sisters, I'm here~~~"

During this event, the photographers were more willing to shoot videos of the children, giving the guests a chance to relax. They didn't have to face the camera all the time or constantly remind themselves to maintain a good image. As for Qi Yu, no one dared to take a picture of him, and Lan Qingyue didn't have to worry about being photographed with Qi Yu. But with so many people around, there was bound to be gossip. She nodded slightly, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Qi Yu suddenly gripped her slender wrist tightly. His palm was incredibly hot, sending a tingling sensation through her body. Lan Qingyue's heart leaped into her throat. She looked around frantically, struggling to shake off Qi Yu's hand, but to no avail. She growled, "Mr. Qi, what are you doing? There are so many people here. Are you trying to make me look bad?"

Lan Qingyue was so angry at Qi Yu's actions that her mind went blank, and she blurted out some inappropriate words.

Qi Yu wasn't annoyed by her tone. His gaze locked onto Lan Qingyue like a wolf's, and an indescribable aura bound her tightly. The more he acted this way, the more powerless she felt, and the more certain she became that the original owner of this body had something going on with Qi Yu!

She didn't care what the problem was, after all, her mission was to eliminate Chu Chu's resentment. Only by eliminating Chu Chu's resentment could she return to the real world. Once she returned, the people and events in this novel world would be irrelevant to her.

Qi Yu's aura grew increasingly cold, but vanished in an instant, leaving no trace. He casually released his grip, looked away, and said calmly, "Miss Lan, sometimes, once you wear a mask for too long, you can never take it off again."

Lan Qingyue: "???"

What the heck?

Is the dog system hiding something very important from her?

Could it be...

Before she could think further, Guan Zhizhi patted her shoulder, led her to a secluded corner, and said in a low voice, "Miss Lan, I have something to say, please don't misunderstand."

Lan Qingyue hadn't yet recovered from the chaos caused by Qi Yu. With a pair of bewildered fox-like eyes, she looked at Guan Zhizhi, her beautiful eyes gleaming with pure light. "Teacher Guan, what do you want to say?"

Guan Zhizhi sighed softly and replied, "There are many people on the production team, and many eyes are on you. Just be more careful in the future."

"You mean..."

Could it be that someone saw Qi Yu grabbing her hand just now?

The guests aren't allowed to bring their phones, so if they see something, they can just say it. But if someone with a phone takes a picture, then she'll be in big trouble!
