Chapter 738: Noticing Noticing Chu Ling

~4 min read 618 words

Living room.

Chu Xiong was scrolling through Douyin, happily watching a beauty livestream, occasionally sending gifts like 【Powering Love】, 【God-tier Certification】, 【Big Health Care】, and 【Update Urging Talismans】........

At this moment, Tao Yan entered the room, cursing and swearing.

"So noisy! What are you howling like a ghost for?" Chu Xiong said, annoyed at being interrupted.

Seeing her husband, Tao Yan glanced back toward the quiet woodshed, lowered her voice, and hurried over to Chu Xiong to ask in a whisper.

"Honey, you didn't run into any trouble on this trip to Magic City, did you?"

"I feel like that dead girl is a bit different now. Not only did she dare to hit me just now, she even said to my face that I'm not her biological mother."

"..........."

Recalling the certainty in Noticing Noticing Chu Ling's words a moment ago, Tao Yan couldn't help but feel a panic in her heart.

That look in the other party's eyes....... it didn't seem like a baseless guess; it looked more like she already knew the truth......

But that shouldn't be possible?! She couldn't possibly know!!!!

"What did you say???"

Chu Xiong had initially dismissed it entirely.

But after hearing Tao Yan's suspicion, he jumped up instantly, a look of terror flashing in his eyes.

This was no joking matter!!!

Not to mention that their unauthorized swapping of children was illegal in itself; if caught, they would end up in prison.

More importantly, if the matter were exposed, the Tang family would be the first to not let them off.

To big shots like them, crushing them would be as simple as crushing an ant, and they would have plenty of ways to make them disappear in an "accident".........

"Impossible! That dead girl couldn't possibly know, absolutely impossible!!!"

"We did that thing so secretly back then! To minimize the possibility of exposure, we haven't even dared to contact our own biological daughter for these eighteen years."

"Besides the two of us, there couldn't possibly be a third person who knows! I have 95% absolute certainty, it's absolutely impossible!!!"

"............"

As Chu Xiong continued to brainwash himself, the panic in his heart gradually settled.

Beside him, Tao Yan frowned, remaining silent.

She also felt that the possibility of the matter being exposed was low.

After all, the couple had been careful enough over the years; there was no reason for it to be exposed, right?

But recalling Noticing Noticing Chu Ling's sharp gaze, Tao Yan felt hesitant and uneasy again.

"Honey! Do you think that dead girl could have overheard our conversation?"

"Impossible! Every time we talked about that matter... we always chose to do it in the dead of night, or when that little bitch wasn't home; she couldn't have overheard it."

Chu Xiong thought back carefully for a moment, then firmly shook his head in denial.

They were indeed smug and complacent about their "swapping the cat for the princess" act back then.

From time to time, they would even search for news about their biological daughter and discuss it with a sense of reflected glory.

But to avoid accidents, they were extremely careful every time; it was impossible for outsiders to know.

The more Chu Xiong thought about it, the more confident he became. He looked at the somewhat terrified Tao Yan and comforted her:

"Don't make a mountain out of a molehill! I think you're overthinking it; that dead girl was probably just saying it randomly........"

"Otherwise, she would have run away long ago! How could she have stayed in this house for over a decade? Looking for abuse?"

"Actually, thinking about it carefully... it's not surprising that she would be suspicious!" ===== CHAPTER 739 =====
