"I just happened to have the medicine with me, and you've helped me before, so I don't need any return gift. I don't want this necklace."

As she spoke, Ji Fuling reached out to untie the necklace around her neck.

The necklace carries too much meaning for her to accept.

Seeing her actions, Ye Nanqing did not stop her, his thin lips curling into a meaningful smile.

Ji Fuling tried to untie the necklace for a while, but found that the hidden clasp could not be opened.

She frowned, looked up at the man sitting on the sofa watching the show, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Why can't you untie it?"

Ye Nanqing stood up, his gaze sweeping over Ji Fuling's neck before settling on her face, which was filled with annoyance. "The clasp on this necklace is custom-made; once it's fastened, it can't be unfastened."

Ji Fuling: "???"

Once it's fastened, it can't be unfastened?

This isn't a necklace!

This must be a neck cuff!

However, if the snap clasp can't be opened, you should be able to use a tool to cut the chain open...

Ye Nanqing seemed to see through her thoughts and said quietly, "The chain of this necklace is also made of a special material that cannot be cut with tools. If you want to take the necklace off, you'll have to cut off your head."

Ji Fuling: "!!!"

So, does that mean she'll have to wear this necklace for the rest of her life?!

What's this all about?

I feel like I'm trapped!

Ji Fuling frowned even more, staring speechlessly at Ye Nanqing, "You put it on, so you have to take it off for me!"

Ye Nanqing didn't reply, but instead took her hand and led her outside, saying, "It's getting late, I'll take you home."

Since you've already put it on, why would you take it off?

It's like she's already barged in, so there's no way she can leave now...

"I don't need you to take me home, I'll take a taxi myself."

Ji Fuling was angry and tried to shake off his hand after she finished speaking.

Ye Nanqing tightened his grip, holding her firmly to prevent her from breaking free. "Since I promised Elder Ji I would see you off, I will personally escort you to the door. Don't even think about taking a taxi yourself."

"..."

Ji Fuling's face immediately darkened.

Under Ye Nanqing's forceful pressure, she eventually got into his car.

Sitting in the passenger seat, thinking about everything that had just happened in the jewelry store, Ji Fuling felt both ashamed and angry.

He was not only annoyed by Ye Nanqing, but also by himself.

When Ye Nanqing kissed her, she didn't resist at all; in fact, she seemed to be a little bit captivated by it.

That was absolutely wrong!

Could it be that she, like that little girl Tian Tian, ​​was also tempted by Ye Nanqing's good looks, which is why she didn't mind his closeness?

While Ji Fuling was lost in thought, the car had already stopped in front of the small villa.

Ye Nanqing turned his head and saw her lost in thought, so he reminded her, "We've arrived."

Hearing his voice pulled Ji Fuling out of her chaotic thoughts.

She snorted, then opened the car door and got out without looking back.

Seeing her puffed-up face, Ye Nanqing couldn't help but curl his thin lips into an amused smile.

"Mommy!! You secretly went on a date with that handsome uncle again without taking Sweetie with you. Sweetie is going to be sad!"

Just as Ji Fuling reached the door, she suddenly heard Ji Tiantian's soft, sweet voice from above.

She took two steps back and looked up. She saw three little ones perched on the railing of the second-floor terrace, their six big, round eyes staring at her and Ye Nanqing in the car.

A scene that seemed familiar...

For some reason, Ji Fuling had a feeling of being caught red-handed again.

Moreover, I felt even more guilty this time than last time.

She composed herself, not letting her guilty conscience show, and waved to her two little darlings, "Zihan, Zimo, it's windy outside, take your sister back to the room."

"No, no, Sweetie doesn't want to go back to her room yet! Sweetie wants to chat with the handsome uncle... Waaaaah, handsome uncle, help me..."

"Bang--"

The chattering little girl was carried back to her room by her two older brothers, one on each side.

As the balcony door closed, the childish voice was shut out.

Ji Fuling pressed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and quickly stepped into the house.

Watching her figure disappear behind the door, Ye Nanqing chuckled softly, his thumb tracing a line across his lips, as if savoring the taste of that kiss.

A moment later, he withdrew his deep gaze, turned the car around, and drove away.

Once inside, Ji Fuling went straight upstairs to the second floor.

As soon as I stepped into the room, the little girl, wearing a Peppa Pig onesie, came running over with her short legs and hugged my leg.

"Mommy, although you didn't take Sweetie with you on your date, Sweetie is a little sad, but also a little happy, because in TV dramas, all the uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters end up together after going on a few dates!"

"So, Mommy, are you going to marry that handsome uncle soon?"

Little Ji Tiantian blinked her bright, watery eyes and looked at her mother expectantly.

Ji Fuling: "..."

This little girl is really determined to sell her own mother!

They still haven't given up!

Ji Zihan and Ji Zimo have IQs far exceeding those of their peers, but the two little cool kids are still children who believe in light, and they are wearing the same Ultraman onesie pajamas.

Hearing his sister's words, Ji Zihan's handsome little face turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Mommy, we don't want you to get hurt in any way. If you really think he's good, don't agree to him so quickly. You can observe him first."

Ji Ziming nodded like a chick pecking at rice, his delicate eyebrows and eyes revealing a serious and earnest expression. Although his voice was childish, it had the tone of a little adult.

"That's right, that's right. Bad people are very good at disguising themselves. Mommy, please don't trust others easily, or you'll get hurt. We don't want Mommy to get hurt."

The two adorable little ones' heartwarming words warmed Ji Fuling's heart.

She knelt down and hugged the two of them tightly, smiling as she said, "You are both Mommy's good babies. Mommy promises you that I will protect myself and won't get hurt."

"Mommy, what about Sweetie? Isn't Sweetie your good baby?"

The little girl, now alone, squeezed into Ji Fuling's arms, wrapping her little arms around her neck and acting cute and charming.

Ji Fuling gently pinched the little girl's fair and tender cheeks, "Sweetie is of course Mommy's good baby too."

If you stop thinking about selling Mommy, you'll be even better!

"Huh? Mommy, is this your new necklace?"

Ji Tiantian, with her sharp eyes, noticed the eight-pointed star necklace around Ji Fuling's neck, and her eyes immediately lit up. "This is so pretty! Can I wear it?"

The little girl loves beauty. Whenever she sees Ji Fuling's jewelry and thinks it looks good, she wants to wear it.

Ji Fuling would always satisfy her.

But this time, Ji Fuling looked embarrassed and could only laugh it off, saying, "Next time, Mommy will put it on you next time. It's late today, you should go to sleep. You have to go to kindergarten tomorrow."

As she spoke, she picked up the little girl and carried her to the bed, tucking her into the blankets.

Ji Tiantian pouted, clearly a little disappointed, her eyes still fixed on the necklace around Ji Fuling's neck.

Ji Fuling "cruelly" looked away, refusing to see the little girl's disappointed expression, and roared inwardly.

It's not that Mommy is stingy and won't let you wear it, it's just that this necklace can't be taken off!

We can't let Mommy really cut off her head, can we?!

"Zihan, Zimo, come on, Mommy will take you back to your room."

Ji Fuling led the two children, one holding a little boy's hand, towards the next room.

Sweetie was born with malnutrition and was quite thin and clingy. She slept with Aunt Ding most of the time, and when Aunt Ding wasn't around, she would sleep with her.

Her two older brothers have been very independent since they were young. They started sleeping on their own when they were just over two years old. They are also very sensible and never need her to worry about them. They even help her with many things, including taking care of Tian Tian.

These three little ones are like little angels sent from heaven to heal her...
