He followed Superintendent Ruan into the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he entered the building, he realized that the interior design was quite different from the exterior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it seemed as though it was merely an ordinary office building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superintendent Ruan took Zhai Yunsheng to the second floor. He stopped at the door of the autopsy room for a moment before he pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Yunsheng quickly entered the room. He walked into a medical change room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he saw Jian Yiling through the glass window. Currently, Jian Yiling was busy with her work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two bodyguards saw the scene in front of them, they almost threw up. Superintendent Ruan’s warning had been fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were well-trained, they were only bodyguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, the scene in front of them wasn’t something that they saw often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhai Yunsheng did not react. Instead, he stared at Jian Yiling. The anger in his eyes began to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when he waited at the front door, Zhai Yunsheng had already realized that there was strange about the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he wouldn’t be at ease until he saw Jian Yiling in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>###\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jian Yiling finished up with her work, she realized that Zhai Yunsheng was waiting for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you here?” Jian Yiling asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m waiting for you to go home,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He did not mention what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jian Yiling was quite smart. She was quite good at deductive reasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way here, Superintendent Ruan had told her that someone had been following her. They had broken away from their tailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, now that she saw Zhai Yunsheng, Jian Yiling easily deduced what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you think something happened to me?” Jian Yiling asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Yunsheng turned his head away. He did not answer Jian Yiling’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite not receiving a response, Jian Yiling still got her answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling patted Zhai Yunsheng on the chest. Then she said, “Don’t worry. I’m perfectly fine. I can protect myself. You don’t need to worry about me like last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her small hand softly patted Zhai Yunsheng on the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was trying to reassure him in her own way. Her actions were trying to express her desire to appease him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on Zhai Yunsheng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to hold Jian Yiling’s hand: “Let’s go home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, Zhai Yunsheng took Jian Yiling back to their nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, the two of them cooked, worked, and played games together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they went to the balcony to gaze at the stars,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Accompany me for a bit longer tonight,” Zhai Yunsheng said to Jian Yiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the clock hit twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Yunsheng turned around and said: “Happy birthday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahh, so that’s why he asked her to accompany him for a bit longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head and dropped a kiss on Jian Yiling’s red lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling widened her eyes in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look on her face was quite confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she did not fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a good sign to Zhai Yunsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling’s hand touched her lips that were just kissed by Zhai Yunsheng. It appeared as though she was deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Jian Yiling deep in thought, Zhai Yunsheng turned his head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know what that little girl was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouldn’t ask her about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did... He was afraid that he would do the same thing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is... A birthday present.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Yunsheng did not turn his head around to say this. Instead, he said this very assertive manner towards Jian Yiling. Despite the assertiveness, his voice still wavered a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling did not respond to his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhai Yunsheng added: “Don’t shun my gift. I’ve treasured this kiss for twenty-two years!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling muttered quietly: “But, I haven’t been kissed before...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, I can take my kiss back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want me to do that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. I’m not stupid...” Jian Yiling replied quietly. She was small, not stupid. She knew what he meant...\u003C\u002Fp>",723,"2026-06-06T02:09:02.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f84822a123dfa9f783a5a8250a68833cacf425976215d1873cf4b9b807baf97","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-543","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-541",1465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-sidekick-to-bigshot-cover.jpg"]
