Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 651 - 575: Jun and Liangsheng’s Finale—Because of These People, She and He Wasted Six Years in Vain

Chapter 651: Chapter 575: Jun and Liangsheng’s Finale—Because of These People, She and He Wasted Six Years in Vain

Huo Shaojun’s heart ached, a mix of sour and bitter emotions. He frowned slightly, looking down at the little woman in his arms who seemed to want to bury her face into his body. With a husky voice, he said, "Tongtong, look up."

"I’m asleep," Jian Liangtong murmured against his chest.

Huo Shaojun, "..."

"Tongtong..."

"Oh, stop calling me, I’m trying to sleep!" Jian Liangtong sniffed and said.

Huo Shaojun’s eyebrows knit together lightly; gentle tactics wouldn’t work, so he decided to use a firmer approach.

He lifted Jian Liangtong’s face with one hand, aided by the faint starlight coming in from the window. Gazing at her small face with tightly shut eyes and mouth, his heart ached slightly. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, looking with cold and tender eyes at her slightly damp eyelashes, he spoke softly, "Do you not want to let me go?"

"..." Jian Liangtong, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly opened her eyes and retorted with a stiff neck, "Of course not!"

Huo Shaojun looked at her reddened eyes, his expression serious, "Your eyes are red, but you won’t admit it."

"I said no, so it’s no," Jian Liangtong said.

"... you’re not cute at all like this."

"..." Jian Liangtong’s heart felt blocked, her eyes turning even redder as she glared at Huo Shaojun with pursed lips, refusing to speak.

Huo Shaojun frowned, lowering his head to kiss her.

Jian Liangtong suddenly turned her neck away, "If I’m so unlovable, don’t touch me."

Jian Liangtong’s voice was hoarse.

Huo Shaojun turned her face back and pressed his lips firmly against hers.

Jian Liangtong tried to struggle, but he easily held her hands.

Huo Shaojun pinched her pink ear lobe, his voice rich and husky, "Can’t you just deceive me a little and say you don’t want to let me go?"

Jian Liangtong’s soft eyelashes fluttered, and she looked up at his sharply defined chin with misty eyes.

In her heart, she whispered: She never wanted to let go in the first place.

...

Huo Shaojun has been away at the military for a week.

Jian Liangtong had also kept busy, dealing with various social engagements, but she insisted on coming home every night for dinner with Hao Hao and her parents.

However, over the past week, Jian Liangtong noticed that not only had Hao Hao’s appetite decreased significantly, but even He Xinyun and Jian Ningfeng seemed distracted and lackadaisical at mealtime.

That night, after coaxing Hao Hao to sleep and leaving the room, Jian Liangtong planned to head to the kitchen for some water.

"Tongtong."

A voice suddenly came from the living room.

Jian Liangtong was startled, turning her head to look back into the living room, where she saw Jian Ningfeng sitting on the sofa in his pajamas.

Jian Liangtong was puzzled, "Dad, why are you sitting in the living room instead of sleeping?"

"Couldn’t fall asleep." Jian Ningfeng gestured at her, "Come over, keep your dad company for a chat."

"..." Although Jian Liangtong found it odd, she walked over and sat next to Jian Ningfeng.

"Been busy lately?" Jian Ningfeng asked.

"... Yeah, a bit," Jian Liangtong said.

"Oh." Jian Ningfeng nodded, "Busy with what?"

Jian Liangtong suspiciously stared at Jian Ningfeng, "... Negotiating some deals."

Jian Ningfeng made another "Oh" sound.

Jian Liangtong licked her lips, looking at Jian Ningfeng, "Dad, you and Mom haven’t had a fight, have you?"

"Your mom and I don’t fight," Jian Ningfeng waved his hand, "No fights."

"... So is there something bothering you at work?" Jian Liangtong asked.

"No." Jian Ningfeng said.

That’s strange!

Jian Liangtong scrutinized Jian Ningfeng, "Dad, be honest with me, what do you want to talk about?"

"..." Jian Ningfeng smiled awkwardly, "Dad doesn’t have anything specific to say to you, just couldn’t sleep and wanted to chat a little."

"Really?" Jian Liangtong squinted her eyes.

"..." Jian Ningfeng’s smile became tense, his eyes evading hers, refusing to meet Jian Liangtong’s gaze.

"Dad, do you want to ask why Huo Shaojun hasn’t come over for dinner lately?" Jian Liangtong smiled knowingly, speaking slowly as she watched Jian Ningfeng.

"..." Jian Ningfeng’s expression turned awkward, "You, you child..."

"Haha." Jian Liangtong leaned her head on Jian Ningfeng’s shoulder, blinking innocently at him, "In just a few days, he’s spoiled your palate."

Despite his discomfort, Jian Ningfeng didn’t continue to hide it, chuckling sheepishly, "Say what you will; Shaojun is indeed quite good at cooking."

"Just quite good?" Jian Liangtong pouted, dragging out her words.

Jian Ningfeng laughed, tapping her forehead, "Very good, very good, alright!"

Jian Liangtong rubbed her forehead, smirking with pursed lips, "Dad, just hang in there a bit longer. Huo Shaojun is off participating in a month-long secluded reality show."

"You speak as if I’m entirely reliant on his cooking. Didn’t I survive decades just fine without it?" Jian Ningfeng said.

Jian Ningfeng’s roundabout questioning of Jian Liangtong about Huo Shaojun.

Partly because he missed the cooking, and partly because he was concerned about Jian Liangtong and Huo Shaojun’s sudden cessation of contact, fearing something had happened between them.

But now that he knew Huo Shaojun was simply busy with work and not frequenting their house as often, he felt at ease and had no trouble sleeping anymore.

So after telling Jian Liangtong to go to bed early, he got up and returned to his room.

Jian Liangtong turned to watch as Jian Ningfeng, just as he opened the door, got hastily pulled inside by a worried-looking He Xinyun.

Jian Liangtong smiled.

So, it seems someone has won over her mother and father with just a few meals.

...

That day, Jian Liangtong was in the recording studio watching Wang Er record her debut single, when a call from Fang Jingting came in.

Jian Liangtong wasn’t aware it was Fang Jingting’s number beforehand.

Until she heard the familiar haughty voice on the other end did she realize who it was.

Otherwise, hanging up would seem too deliberate.

"Have you been keeping Hao Hao at your place lately?"

Fang Jingting’s voice was surprisingly calm.

"Hao Hao is my child; it’s not unreasonable for him to stay with me for a few days, is it?" Jian Liangtong’s voice wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t warm either.

It seemed like Fang Jingting was choked by that sentence. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

After a few seconds, her voice came through again, "Let’s not talk about Hao Hao, but there’s something I must make clear with you."

Jian Liangtong glanced at Wang Er, who was focused on recording the song, and stepped out to the hallway, "What is it?"

"Six years ago, I indeed gave you the drug, but I didn’t have anyone harm you. So, there’s no need to disrupt the relationship between me and Shao Yun with fabrications," Fang Jingting said.

Jian Liangtong’s pupils contracted slightly, leaning her back against the wall, "Ms. Fang, you say you had no intention of harming me, then what was your purpose in drugging me?"

Fang Jingting was silent for a moment, then said, "I just wanted Shao Yun to see your true nature and not be deceived by your facade. You were with Shao Yun and entangled with Cheng Jin. If Shao Yun were to witness you and Cheng Jin... Shao Yun couldn’t tolerate even a grain of sand in his eye, if he saw you with Cheng Jin... he’d never accept you again."

Jian Liangtong understood.

Fang Jingting wanted to use the drug to make her and Huo Chengjin sleep together, then call Huo Shaojun to the hotel to catch them "in the act," letting him see her in an indecent situation with Huo Chengjin, and then show Huo Shaojun the ambiguous photos of her and Huo Chengjin.

Huo Shaojun might not believe just seeing the photos.

But seeing her in bed with Huo Chengjin... Even if he didn’t want to believe it, there’s no convincing himself that what he saw wasn’t true.

Plus, visiting her in the hospital and mistakenly thinking she had aborted their child...

One interconnected step after another, truly meticulous!

Jian Liangtong’s eyelashes trembled slightly and she looked down.

Actually.

She had always blamed Huo Shaojun for not trusting her, but if she and Huo Shaojun had switched places.

She couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t believe the layers of deception and false scenarios.

Their misunderstanding might have been resolved if she hadn’t left Z City heartbroken.

Jian Liangtong gently touched her warm eyes, thinking of all these misunderstandings and how they caused both of them to suffer for six years, wasting six years of time, six years...
