Chapter 216 I just love Baby Ji!
I followed her gaze.
It was Qi Mu standing in front of the door.
Chi Tao originally wanted to complain about how quickly Ji Ran changed his expression, but she couldn't help but fall into a state of infatuation.
Wow... I have to say, my brother-in-law is really handsome!
Does such a perfect man really exist in this world?
Oh no, a male ghost.
However, he was a human turned ghost, and he's about to become human again, so let's just consider him half a human.
Ji Ran was caught by a flash of light out of the corner of his eye. When he turned around, he saw that it was Chi Tao's drool that was about to drip down her cheeks.
"Tsk! What are you looking at!" Ji Ran poked Chi Tao twice with a sour expression.
Qi Mu couldn't help but lower his head and raise the corners of his mouth.
I don't know why, but he really enjoys seeing his girl act possessively towards him. Is that some kind of perverse sense of humor?
"Oh... I'll just take a look." Chi Tao waved her sleeve without turning her head.
Who doesn't love beautiful things!
Oh my gosh... my brother-in-law smiled! Every expression is like a masterpiece sculpted by God, every curve is perfectly designed.
Ji Ran bit her lip in anger, grabbed Chi Tao's bag from the single sofa next to her, and stuffed it into Chi Tao's arms.
Without hesitation, he pulled her up from the sofa, opened the door, pushed her out of the office, and then closed the door again.
Flowing clouds and flowing water, all in one go.
"So stingy!" Chi Tao looked at the closed door, complained, and then obediently went home.
Ji Ran, on the other side of the door, turned around and snuggled into Qi Mu's arms, hugging him tightly.
For some reason, as the experiment was about to succeed, she felt a mix of joy and indescribable sadness.
Her Qi Mu suffered such injustice and torment. And she stayed alone in this space between the human world and hell for twenty years.
She would clear his name and protect his future.
And... I won't be able to hug this cold body anymore; I can only hug a warm one.
Qi Mu didn't ask anything, but simply raised his hand to gently embrace her and stroke her hair tenderly.
Ji Ran, on the contrary, was the first to be puzzled.
Why isn't he saying anything? Shouldn't he be concerned about whether her DNA extraction was successful?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her head and ask:
Why do you never ask me about the progress of my experiments?
Qi Mu lowered his eyes to look at her, his captivating gaze filled with tenderness:
"Because I trust Ranran."
Hearing this, Ji Ran couldn't help but smile, and shyly buried her face in his chest again, saying with a touch of arrogance:
"Everyone makes a mistake sometimes..."
But then, the man's deep, magnetic voice rang out again from above:
"As long as I can be by your side, I don't care what form it takes."
Ji Ran tilted her head back again, her dark eyes trembling wildly.
His love for her was always so unwavering, giving her the courage to stand up against the world.
Qi Mu lowered his head, gently kissed her lips, and said softly:
"I love you, Ranran."
Ji Ran's face lit up with happiness. She tiptoed slightly and kissed him with the tenderness that was hers alone.

Zeng Nian's car drove back to the Zeng family home. As soon as he got out, his subordinates caught up and whispered a report:
"General, Aqi hasn't returned yet, and there's been no news of him."
Zeng Nian frowned, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.
"Got it, keep looking."
After saying that, he went into the foyer.
Ah Qi was the subordinate he sent to track Zeng Yichen. Normally, he would have returned to report by now, but he has disappeared today.
Could this matter be related to Zeng Yichen?
"A-Nian~" Yuan Yamei came over with a cup of hot tea when she saw Zeng Nian return.
"Drink tea."
Looking at her gentle and tender appearance, Zeng Nian's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.
Ha~ No matter how much Qi Mu trampled him underfoot in the past, everything he had—honor, military achievements, status, and reputation—was long gone.
Including the woman he loves.
And what about Qi Mu now?
He's a dead man, the kind who's not even a complete corpse, hahaha...
Zeng Nian looked at Yuan Yamei and felt much better. He took the tea and drank two sips.
"Has Yichen not returned yet?" Zeng Nian asked casually.
"Probably not yet," Yuan Yamei said, unsure, though she didn't really care. "Should I send someone to check?"
"No need," Zeng Nian replied, not wanting to seem too deliberate, and changed the subject: "How is Qian'er today?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yamei showed a loving expression and said with pity, "Alas... you can get out of bed and walk today, but you are still very weak."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Nian still said, "Qian'er has suffered."
Yuan Yamei quickly continued, "..."
"Alas... Qian'er is such a pitiful child. My brother passed away early, leaving her as his only child. It truly breaks my heart..."
As she spoke, she subtly glanced at Zeng Nian's face, and seeing that he didn't seem to mind, she continued:
"Although Qian'er's misfortune last time wasn't directly related to Yichen's girlfriend, that girl is really something else. Anian, you'd better keep a close eye on Yichen."
Mentioning Ji Ran, a flash of ruthlessness and a fear he himself was unaware of crossed Zeng Nian's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and asked questioningly:
"What do you mean? What happened to the child?"
Yuan Yamei sighed, looking disappointed, and took out her phone to show Zeng Nian the trending topic that was still at the top of the list.
"This child... sigh... how could someone so young do such a thing! What does this say about Yichen?"
Zeng Nian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the gossip about Ji Ran and Qin Wenzhou.
Suddenly, she recalled that Qin Wenzhou's gaze towards Ji Ran at Yi Chen's birthday party last time was indeed not simple.
He doesn't care about these things.
However, if Qin Wenzhou also gets involved, things will become even more complicated.
Right now, he couldn't care less about anything else. He told Yuan Yamei that he had something to take care of and went to his study.
Seeing that he didn't get angry on the spot, Yuan Yamei thought that she had to add fuel to the fire for that little vixen.
She immediately texted Mo Yilan, asking her to capitalize on the current high-profile issue of academic fraud and create even more momentum.
She quickly received a reply from the other party.
'receive'
Yuan Yamei turned off her phone, her eyes filled with malice.
She really underestimated Ji Ran. He looked aloof and unapproachable, and not only did he seduce Zeng Yichen, he also managed to hook up with the richest man in China.
That's the richest man in the world! What right does that bitch have?!
This time, we must crush her completely and see how she dares to act so arrogantly and try to steal her daughter's man.
Zeng Nian returned to his study and immediately called Zeng Yichen.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
"Yichen, where have you gone? Aren't you coming back yet?"
"...What? Dad?!"
The background noise from Zeng Yichen's location was clearly very loud, like it was coming from a bar or something similar.
"Waaaaah...hiccup...I saw it trending...I can't believe it...hiccup..."
His voice sounded a little drunk, and Zeng Nian's heart softened immediately:
"Silly boy, it's just a woman."
"I don't care! I just love... hiccup... I just love Baby Ji!" Zeng Yichen roared, "No... I'm not saying anything more, let's drink! Drink! I'll talk to you when we get back, Dad."
