Chapter 623

The little incident in the bathroom didn't cause any unexpected disturbances.

After the joke, Bai Liang spread his hands and told Li Yitong he had to catch a midnight flight back to the set to shoot drama, and had zero time for any legal or illegal little games with them.

As for Xiao Tian, if anything really happened, just tell him directly—it's just a phone call.

The Evil Little Kitten didn't achieve her goal, but her mood was surprisingly good.

No big deal—she won't get this male fox tonight, but neither will anyone else~

But after returning to her seat, before she could even exchange a word with Xiao Tian behind her, Meng Jie suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Tongtong~ It's not you, right?"

"Huh?!"

Li Yitong stared, utterly dumbfounded, into Meng Jie's wide, sparkling, unblinking eyes.

Come on, I just went to say a word—why are you targeting me like this, sis?!

Your grass isn't eaten by just me.

But no matter what, when it came to others, the Evil Little Kitten was always bold and unashamed; with Meng Jie, she always carried a nagging sense of guilt.

She swallowed hard, sighed, and asked, "What do you mean 'not you'?"

Meng Jie said nothing, only quietly reached out and patted her belly.

A glint of suspicion and wisdom flashed in her eyes~

Oh no, Meng Jie's started thinking!

The Evil Little Kitten:

She suppressed the urge to jump up and bang the other's head, and calmly defended herself.

It's actually easy to explain—because she simply had no time!

"I've got great resources—when have I ever had a gap period long enough to have a baby?"

No more pretending, I'm laying it all out—I'm a resource queen!

Since her debut in 2015, she's starred in over a dozen TV dramas and one movie.

With that output, let alone having a baby, she doesn't even have time for a miscarriage!

Meng Jie: Makes sense! Suspicion cleared!

"Hey Meng Jie, if you've got the energy to suspect me, why not suspect those with even bigger targets?" the Evil Little Kitten muttered under her breath.

Meng Jie replied confidently: "I've suspected them all~"

"Fine then."

Obviously, the bigger the target, the less time they have—everyone's running nonstop, where would they find time to have a baby?

Unless they hired someone to substitute!

But Meng Jie naturally didn't think of that; the Evil Little Kitten did, but she wouldn't dare mention it.

Because at this moment, Meng Jie had already turned her gaze toward Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian: This sister's gone mad.

But in front of Meng Jie, she didn't show her usual bold, confrontational attitude—she simply explained calmly: "Meng Jie, I've only known Brother Bai for a little over a year."

Hearing this, Meng Jie gave an awkward but polite smile.

Oh~

The Evil Little Kitten couldn't hold back anymore: "Meng Jie, I think if it really was that male fox who secretly got someone pregnant, this person must've been relatively unknown before, with average resources—that's the only way they'd have the time."

Hearing this logical, well-reasoned analysis, Meng Jie nodded vigorously.

No wonder you're you, Tongtong! Your brain's too sharp.

"So who is it?" Meng Jie still looked troubled.

Li Yitong laughed, "Since you walked in, how many people have been staring at you, openly or secretly? Guess who's the most likely?"

"Who?" Meng Jie asked instinctively.

After several seconds, she seemed to catch on—her eyebrows knitted into a cute arc, her face twisted in disbelief, and finally she pointed at her own nose:

"Me?!"

"Yeah, who else? If I didn't know you so well, I'd suspect you too!" Li Yitong spread her hands.

Xiao Tian nodded vigorously in agreement—she had to admit, Meng Jie's suspicion was simply too strong.

First, she was never very famous before, and second, her resources weren't as insane as Li Yitong's, constantly shooting back-to-back dramas.

She could easily find a long gap period where she wasn't on set, just sitting at home picking her toes.

And she'd known Bai Liang since way back—she was practically one of his earliest contenders. After thinking it through, Meng Jie was absolutely the prime suspect!

After a long mental storm, the moment she "solved the case" and realized she was the most suspicious, Meng Jie went numb.

She'd thought it was strange that since arriving, she'd felt oddly popular, with so many people staring at her.

She'd even smiled back at them~

Now that she thought about it—

The Evil Little Kitten: Was that even a smile? That was outright provocation!

Put yourself in their shoes—this behavior was no different from a HajiMi baring its teeth and hissing.

So incredibly annoying!

All in all, Meng Jie was truly a magnet for hatred—she was a master at drawing resentment.

After a mental storm combined with rational analysis, Meng Jie deflated.

She'd come in full of enthusiasm to play detective, only to find herself turned into "Little Black."

Before the Evil Little Kitten pointed it out, she hadn't felt anything, but now every direction seemed to send her hostile glances.

The sharpest eyes belonged to Di Li Re Ba, who had once "lost" to her—today she wore heavy makeup, aiming for a cold, elegant look; whether it suited her or not was beside the point, but paired with her knife-like gaze now, it made Meng Jie instinctively shrink her neck.

How terrifying!

Meng Jie couldn't help glancing again at Gu Li Na Zha, after all, this woman had been the one to plant the "Inner Demon" in her when she first debuted.

To her surprise, Gu Li Na Zha barely looked her way at all; she was smiling broadly, chatting merrily with the other artists around her, seemingly completely unaffected by the "Where's Dad?" incident.

Is she planning something big, or is she truly not taking this seriously at all? What's she thinking?

Her reasoning was very simple, even blunt.

All that nonsense about suspicion? Totally fake.

Na Zha: His child? Do you even deserve to bear it?

So regarding this matter, Na Zha had merely asked Bai Liang casually, and after receiving a negative answer, she didn't think about it again.

It's fake, so why bother worrying about it~?

She'd rather spend her time thinking about her upcoming signing ceremony—should she exchange rings on stage?

Watching Meng Jie stare off into space with that strange expression, the Evil Little Cat extended her long finger and poked Meng Jie's waist dimple.

"Hey, Tongtong, what are you doing?"

"What are you up to? Why are you zoning out like that? What are you thinking about?"

Meng Jie answered honestly: "I was thinking at first, but then I gradually let my mind go blank."

"Wow, your mindset's kinda impressive. I saw your eyes darting around and thought you had some devious plan~"

Useless darting.

Meng Jie looked like she was scheming, but in truth, she could only come up with a few slightly stupid ideas; when it came to truly devious plans, it had to be the Evil Little Cat herself.

And sure enough, in just a moment, she thought of nine!

But before that, she felt she still needed to handle Xiao Tian's matter first.

Yet when she relayed Bai Liang's words to Xiao Tian, the latter's eyes widened wide, staring fixedly at Meng Jie's outstretched finger—as if something had just clicked.

The Evil Little Cat silently retracted her finger, and the two exchanged a glance~ Instantly, Xiao Tian grew embarrassed.

"Um…"
