Finally, Ni Sitian was pinned down on the sofa and thoroughly pampered, and the matter was considered resolved satisfactorily.

As she rubbed her aching back, she deeply regretted coming up with such a terrible idea, but if she hadn't, she probably wouldn't have been able to fool anyone.

Forget it, let's just consider it sacrificing the individual for the greater good.

After optimistically changing her mindset, Ni Sitian lay on the bed and directed Xu Tingchuan to massage her: "Press harder, a little lower, yes, yes, right there, ah~ so comfortable~"

"Mrs. Xu, are you inviting me to do it again by making that kind of sound?" Xu Tingchuan pinched her thigh, watching her pat it so unguardedly, with marks left by him still on her body.

"Whose fault is it that my leg cramped up? Why did you have to hold me like that!" Ni Sitian turned around and glared at Xu Tingchuan resentfully.

Xu Tingchuan leaned closer, whispered in her ear, and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "It's all because you're too tempting."

Ni Sitian's ears turned red, and she turned back to bury her face in the pillow.

Seeing how incredibly cute she was, Xu Tingchuan couldn't resist lying down on her and kissing her bright red ears.

"Stop messing around." Ni Sitian dodged because she was itchy; she really had no strength left.

Xu Tingchuan only kissed her briefly and didn't actually take her anymore, continuing to massage her cramped thigh.

A moment later, Ni Sitian suddenly remembered what happened on Xindong Road and mentioned it to Xu Tingchuan: "I ran into Jiayue at that coffee shop. She was acting so strange, like she was lost and disoriented. And that man in the hat was weird too."

"Hmm?" Xu Tingchuan gestured for her to continue.

Ni Sitian thought about it seriously and said, "That man seemed evasive, like he wasn't Jia Yue's friend."

Xu Tingchuan frowned slightly and asked, "What else did you discover?"

"Oh, Jia Yue left a photo at the coffee shop. I picked it up, and it's in my bag now," Ni Sitian replied, remembering.

Xu Tingchuan stood up and took Ni Sitian's bag from the hook.

Ni Sitian suddenly remembered the blood test results and immediately said nervously, "Give them to me so I can find them!"

Xu Tingchuan glanced at her and said with a smile, "Do you have some little secret hidden in your bag?"

“The bag is too messy, you won’t be able to find it.” Ni Sitian rolled up the blanket, sat up, reached for the bag, opened the side zipper, and took out the photo from inside.

When Xu Tingchuan saw it, his expression changed slightly. He didn't have time to think about Ni Sitian's strange behavior and hurriedly asked, "Did Jiayue really leave this photo behind?"

Ni Sitian nodded, finding Xu Tingchuan's question strange. There was no doubt that the baby in the photo was Xu Jiayue; who else could have lost the baby?

"The truth will out eventually." Xu Tingchuan sat down, his arms hanging limply at his sides, his expression unreadable.

Ni Sitian pondered for a while before understanding what Xu Tingchuan meant. She grabbed him nervously, "You mean Jiayue knows about her parents?"

"Do you remember Jia Yue's room? There were only photos of her after she turned three. Look at this one, she's just a baby who can sit up." Xu Tingchuan handed the photo back to Ni Sitian.

Ni Sitian suddenly realized why she always felt something was off about this photo; it turned out that Xu Jiayue could never have had a photo of herself when she was so young.

"How much does she actually know?" Xu Tingchuan's eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed.

He always thought this matter would be kept a secret forever, but he never expected it to happen so soon, and so coincidentally.
