She hadn’t been in heels so high for years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still stretching her calf muscles while talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you a massage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue placed his warm hand on her calf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei couldn’t help but shudder and move her leg away subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need! I’ll use a hot tub later. That’ll do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue shook his head, “You haven’t worn high heels before, if you don’t get a massage to relieve them, they are going to hurt tomorrow too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei jumped when she saw him getting into action again. Hurriedly, she said, “I’ll rub them with some ointment when I get home, then I’ll be fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have ointment at home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei was speechless at Qiao Yanjue’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did have herbs at home, but not herbal ointments. Who would prepare those things in advance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qiao Yanjue did not go on, because Ren Ningning was still with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hi, I’m Qiao Yanjue, I’m Beibei’s... Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Ren Ningning,” Ren Ningning replied in a quiet, reserved voice, then gingerly asked, “You’re... Her cousin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had different surnames, so he sure couldn’t be her paternal cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces didn’t look alike either, so he was even less likely to be her biological brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s the foster daughter of my aunt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei’s eyes went wide upon hearing Qiao Yanjue’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did she even become Liu Manhong’s foster daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily it was a foster mother that she had gotten. If she had a foster father... It would sound very weird (it sounds like “sugar daddy” in Chinese).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Ningning was quick to respond. After integrating what Qiao Yanjue had said, she came to a sudden realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that means that you aren’t biologically related?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Qiao Yanjue gave her a praising look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Ningning bumped her right fist into her left palm, her eyes sparkling a bit too bright. Her smile also widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You came to pick her up even at such a late hour. You guys are really close.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s very late right now. I was afraid there might be danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue felt chills pouring down his spine upon seeing her bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yea, yea, you’re right. Safety first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Ningning nodded eagerly, and took the opportunity to roast her useless younger brother, “Why is my brother not worried about me though?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way, her brother’s Ren Juncheng,” Xia Xibei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know my brother too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Ningning quickly got her head around it upon hearing Xia Xibei’s tone of voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Qiao Yanjue nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ren Ningning started shaking her head non-stop, while mumbling something under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you hungry yet?” Qiao Yanjue ignored her and turned to ask Xia Xibei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes I am,” Xia Xibei nodded, sounding somewhat rueful. “I only had two breads for dinner, and they’re all gone by now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue said nothing but grabbed a bag from the back instead. There was a tiny cake box in the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have some cake to fill your stomach first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the box, exposing the gorgeous, exquisite slice of cake inside. Then he handed a fork to Xia Xibei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei was surprised. She took the fork, then looked towards Ren Ningning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not hungry!” Ren Ningning shook her head right away, “I don’t eat anything after 7pm because I get fat easily! And I’ll be reaching home soon! Enjoy it yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei would not force Ren Ningning since she said that. She was hungry indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a small piece of the cake with the fork and put it into her mouth. The sweet, pleasant taste was so satisfying that she squinted like a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue’s lips curled into a smile. He then opened a bottle of milk tea and handed it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Ningning was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>",694,"2026-05-30T10:44:24.211Z","2026-06-01T04:31:02.528Z",1,"novelbin.me","8f08c3e3ad8097eee264cfb0bb078c957138238cb033e9d1b7d7865c34b990fe","the-reincarnated-goddess-is-fierce-chapter-410","the-reincarnated-goddess-is-fierce-chapter-408",2337,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-reincarnated-goddess-is-fierce-cover.jpg"]
