The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1769: Chapter 1769: Everyone on Edge

After the old man left with his people, the Special Department took on a different look, as if constantly in a state of alert, with everyone’s nerves tightly wound.

Little Taotie pouted and tugged on Hua Jinyan with her chubby little hands.

Hua Jinyan instinctively leaned over with his ear.

Little Taotie muttered, "It’s all that substitute grandpa’s fault, everyone is so serious now, no snacks, no jokes."

Hua Jinyan sighed, "The boss disappearing this time requires others to lead a rescue; everyone feels guilty, thinking if only they were stronger, maybe the boss wouldn’t have to suffer."

Little Taotie puffed up her cheeks, "It’s not just up to them. Clearly, you’re the one who did the hard work chopping trees."

Hua Jinyan gestured for silence, "Let’s keep a low profile."

"Why hide when you’ve done something good? You’re really amazing, it’s all thanks to you."

Hearing Little Taotie’s unreserved praise and seeing her bright eyes looking at him, Hua Jinyan pressed his lips together, "Do you still think the War God is better than me?"

Little Taotie hesitated for a moment, lifting her small hand that she used for comparisons before, this time the space between her fingers even smaller, "Just a tiny bit, you’re only a little behind, keep it up! Maybe when you grow up, you’ll catch up to him!"

Hua Jinyan couldn’t quite cheer up, seeing her grin widely, he forced a smile to accompany her.

"Are you two still slacking off here? Is the plane ready to fly?" Sister Xiangxiang suddenly appeared, wielding a teaching pointer, "Hurry up to the simulation room!"

Little Taotie flinched, "Sister Xiangxiang is possessed by a tigress!"

"What did you say?"

"I’m making a run for it!" Little Taotie turned and dashed off, too quick for Hua Jinyan to follow.

Hua Jinyan stood in place, and after a moment of hesitation, Sister Xiangxiang put away the pointer.

"Are you ready for a real flight mission?" Sister Xiangxiang asked.

Hua Jinyan nodded.

"Want to give it a try?"

"No, I’ll stay with her in the simulation room a bit longer."

Sister Xiangxiang watched Hua Jinyan’s departing figure with envy, "Such boyfriend material!"

Yuanyuan leaned in, "What boyfriend material?"

Sister Xiangxiang muttered about the earlier events.

Yuanyuan marveled, "Hua Jinyan is a good boy! Nice, nice! He’s worthy of our Little Taotie!"

Sister Xiangxiang laughed, "You’re not even married to her Second Brother yet, why the rush to be her Second Sister-in-law and fuss over her marriage?"

"Oh, what are you talking about! I’m hungry, bye!"

"Don’t run! No snacking in the hall, you’ll be fined!"

"Got it! I’ll snack in the bathroom!"

"You have such heavy tastes!"

"Just kidding!"

Little Taotie played in the simulation room for a while, mostly to enjoy the in-between snack service.

"Durian pizza is so good, and the pork liver pizza is delicious too, I’m still not full!"

Hua Jinyan sighed, "It’s getting dark, you haven’t been to the villa for a long time, miss your brothers?"

"Oh! I almost forgot, I promised Big Brother I’d be home for dinner tonight!"

The two hurried back to the villa, where Little Taotie saw not just her brothers but also Grandpa gathered around the table.

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

Before Tao Mo could answer, Cheng Guodong said wryly, "He’s been sticking around here for days."

Tao Mo laughed awkwardly, "I was waiting for my good granddaughter to come back, if you don’t come back, Grandpa won’t go anywhere."

The family ate a reunion meal together, and Cheng Guodong gestured for Tao Mo to leave, clearly trying to send him off.
