Nataliaâs impression of Hua Jin had thus skyrocketed as well.
The actor walked out of the room just as Gong Jie himself got changed. He looked displeased when he saw Hua Jin.
âArenât you going to help her get changed?â
The actor frowned and appeared troubled. âSheâs a girl. Sheâs still young, but itâs best if sheâs raised to be aware of the differences between men and women! Iâm a grown man. I donât think thatâs appropriate.â
Gong Jie immediately recognized the problem and was impressed. âI didnât know youâre such a principled person!â
The actor snorted. âOf course! Do you think everyoneâs as stupid as you?â
Gong Jieâs expression changed at that. âWhat did you say!?â
âNothing⦠nothing.â He turned his head quickly and mumbled quietly, obviously terrified.
Yun Shishi suppressed a smile. Suddenly, a thought struck her, âDoes she know how to dress herself? Sheâs very young. Why donât I go in and help her?â
âShe knows how to dress herself!â Hua Jin exclaimed. âAnd even if she doesnât, let her figure it out for herself. Independence is all about training from a young age!â
Yun Shishi nodded, then asked, âWhat exactly is going on with this child?â
Gong Jie replied, âDidnât Youyou mention it to you?â
âHe didnât say too much.â The woman lowered her voice. âDoes she have a split personality, too? Really?â
âUh huh!â
âI couldnât tell.â
Gong Jie raised an eyebrow and laughed. âDoes Youyou have a split personality?â
âYes.â
âYou canât tell either, can you?â
Now that heâd pointed it out, she realized.
âBut why did you adopt her?â She paused and continued, âI thought our Xiao Jie doesnât like children?â
Gong Jie said nothing at that, but looked at Youyou in a lingering and meaningful way. She followed his gaze to her son, and figured things out somewhat.
This⦠Could this boy have fallen in love so early on in life?! Her thoughts were in turmoil.
The actor let out a long sigh. âHeâs her guardian, so Iâve become the acting parent!â
Yun Shishi was confused. âHuh? What do you mean?â
The actor didnât dare say anything further. He shot Gong Jie a meaningful glance that bore a sense of resignation.
It baffled Yun Shishi. However, after only a moment, she understood. Probably Gong Jie had entrusted Natalia to Hua Jinâs care. After all, Gong Jieâs job involved flying around the world all year round, and it was so dangerous. It was definitely not convenient to have Natalia by his side. So, as a matter of course, he handed Natalia over to Hua Jin to raise. However, according to the boy, Gong Jie had bought a villa and registered it under Hua Jinâs name. He had also given him a blank check as child support.
It had to be said⦠That was very generous of Xiao Jie. It seemed that he liked Natalia, too. Otherwise, he wouldnât have gone to so much trouble.
The actor, however, hesitated. âWhat if Natalia doesnât warm up to me after Gong Jie leaves?â
âYou need to bond with her,â Yun Shishi said. âRelationships have to be cultivated!â
âHow do we do that?â The actor was clearly at his witsâ end in this regard. âI have no experience in such matters.â
âThatâs easy. Likeâ¦â She pondered for a moment, then brightened. âAmusement parks!â
