"Xiao Ying and the other two aren't afraid, but I'm most afraid of Gou Dan. He'll probably be able to figure it out very easily."

Ning Jing thought for a moment and said with some worry.

Don't be fooled by Gou Dan's quiet demeanor and lazy appearance.

Actually, he is much smarter than the active little girl.

Sometimes Ningjing felt that Gou Dan was probably the smartest person in the whole family.

Fu Hongxing shook his head and instructed her, "The children should be back soon. You should start cooking."

"We just need to convince Xiaofeng; there's no need to worry about the other children."

In his view, there was no need to beat around the bush; he could just tell Xiaofeng directly.

As long as Xiaofeng cooperates, she can lie down and pretend to be asleep in front of the children.

Thinking of Gou Dan, Fu Hongxing paused, thinking that his younger brother was indeed clever.

Since he's so smart, if he explains things clearly when he finds out, I believe a smart kid like Gou Dan should know what to do.

Ning Jing never expected that Fu Hongxing's idea was to launch a direct attack.

After thinking about it, it's true that as long as we talk to Xiaofeng about it and she's willing to cooperate, the other children in the family shouldn't have much of a chance to notice that she's woken up.

Ning Jing nodded, watched Fu Hongxing leave the kitchen, then breathed a sigh of relief, put on an apron, and began preparing dinner.

Knowing that Xiaofeng had just woken up and her stomach was still too weak to eat rich, meaty foods, I stewed an extra bowl of steamed egg custard and added a small spoonful of lard and finely chopped green vegetables to the thicker rice porridge I made than usual.

While her hands continued working, a fierce internal struggle raged within her tranquil mind.

The first-aid kit's treatment of Xiaofeng was truly beyond her expectations.

Surprisingly, the medicine cured the disease immediately.

What Ning Jing is worried about now is how to get Fu Hongxing into the medical kit for treatment without his knowledge.

How much of a commotion would it cause if she took out this medical kit?

Ning Jing doesn't have such great ambitions, so she doesn't want to show others a different side of herself.

As for Fu Hongxing, Ning Jing knew he was a good person.

But she dared not gamble; what if he found out she wasn't the original owner of this body?

What if he thinks he's a monster?

What if... he leaves her because of this?

She couldn't remember where she had seen that sentence before.

Human hearts are fickle and unpredictable; the one thing you should never gamble on is human nature!

In the moment, someone may truly love you, but you can't guarantee that they won't change at all over the long years to come.

Ning Jing dared not gamble. When you've placed all your bets and the result isn't what you wanted, it's unbearable.

So, after thinking it over and over, Ning Jing asked Fu Qiang in her mind.

"Is there anything that can put someone into a deep sleep, so that they won't realize it when they wake up?"

(What do you want to use it for?)

Fuqiang is heartbroken because Ningjing gave Corliss such a large sum of gold coins!

Hearing Ning Jing's question, I couldn't help but become curious.

Ning Jing shared her thoughts with Fu Qiang.

Upon hearing Ning Jing's words, Fu Qiang fell silent.

Because he remembered one of the systems that had been with them a long time ago.

That system was considered one of the best among their group of systems back then.

However, because its host trusts men too much.

In the end, the man betrayed its host, imprisoned it, and forced it to hand over the thing that could grant it the magical item.
