After hearing what the boy whispered, Zhang Qiling stood there in a daze.

He had always known that the boy liked him very much, and he also knew that the boy was not as lustful as he appeared. But after this reunion, especially before leaving, he was as eager as a child asking for candy, always trying to find ways to take the next step.

He must have made the little liar feel so insecure that he was so panicked when he woke up.

Zhang Qiling leaned down, lowered his head and kissed the boy's lips lightly, without lust, only comfort.

After noticing that the boy's emotions had calmed down, Zhang Qiling picked up the clothes beside him and put them on his child, then bent down to put his shoes on.

Cheng Ji came back to his senses, blushing slightly as he said, "I can do it myself."

Zhang Qiling shook his head, reached out and took the boy's hand and said, "Your father came to see you this afternoon. Why don't you wash up and eat first? I'll take you there later."

Cheng Ji was not surprised to hear that Cheng's father was looking for him, and said casually: "Okay, but brother, what did you tell my father this afternoon? Why didn't you just wake me up?"

Zhang Qiling's eyes moved slightly, but his tone didn't sound much different: "I told your father that you were tired last night and were still sleeping."

“……”He shouldn’t have had too much hope in Zhang Qiling!

Cheng Ji replied with a fake smile: "Brother, you are so kind to me, thank you."

Zhang Qiling's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, and he didn't speak again.

After dinner, Zhang Qiling sent Cheng Ji to the door of Cheng's house as promised, and asked with some worry in his eyes: "Do you really not need me to accompany you in?"

Cheng Ji hooked his finger around Zhang Qiling's palm and asked with a half-smile: "Brother, are you going to go in and get beaten?"

Zhang Qiling was silent for a while, but still firmly held the boy's hand: "It's okay."

Cheng Ji shook his clenched hands and said with a chuckle: "It's okay, wait for me in the yard, I'll be quick, he's my father, he can't beat me."

Seeing that the young man insisted, Zhang Qiling had to give up. He raised his hand and stroked the top of the young man's head, indicating to the young man that he understood.

Cheng Ji pushed open the door of Cheng's father's study, saw Cheng's father standing by the window, closed the door and walked over.

"Father." Cheng Ji bowed to Father Cheng's back.

Father Cheng turned around and asked the boy to sit down.

After the two sat down on the sofa, Father Cheng spoke: "I went to the village in Fox Fairy Mountain a few days ago, but I arrived too late and didn't see him. He must have been rescued."

Cheng Ji lowered his eyes, picked up the apple on the coffee table, held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. After a while, he said, "You believe it this time."

Father Cheng looked up and sighed, "You can't help but believe it. The facts are right in front of you. This is also my fault. I just wanted to find a child to keep you company and protect you when necessary, but I didn't expect to attract a wolf back."

"Now I can confirm that my mother is not seriously injured, but I can't rescue her for the time being. Please forgive me."

A while ago, Cheng Ji asked the chess piece of the Wang family to check the location of Cheng's mother, and it was exactly as he expected. Due to the low blood concentration and the fact that they didn't know any secrets of the Nine-Tailed Cheng family, the Wang family's experiment was temporarily shelved.

But he was afraid of losing this clue, and he must be thinking of luring him into the game when the time comes, so he hasn't taken any action against Cheng's mother.

But if he wanted to avoid being noticed by the world consciousness, he couldn't move to the Wang family's headquarters now, which was a bit of a headache...

Father Cheng waved his hand and said, "Father, I know you have tried your best. Even if the worst result comes out in the end, you can only blame your father for being confused at the time, which led to this disaster."

"As for Cheng Feng...you don't need to worry about my thoughts, just do whatever you want."

"I understand, father," Cheng Ji replied.

Father Cheng looked at the spots on his son's neck in the light of the study, and said earnestly: "But then again, although father is not so old-fashioned and feudal, you found me a male daughter-in-law..."

After saying this, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate, so he changed his words and said, "No, it's son-in-law...son-in-law, are you trusting your father's ability to bear it too much?"

Cheng Ji lowered his head following his father's gaze, tightening his collar awkwardly: "Hey, father, why do you still look down on your son? Judging from my physique, she must be your daughter-in-law. Don't confuse things."

Father Cheng snorted with a sneer and did not comment.

Cheng Ji sighed and said, "Father won't blame the youngest son, right? How can you bear to blame me?"

Father Cheng scolded with a smile: "Get lost, hurry up and get lost. You were more serious the first year after you came back, but I'm afraid you've gone backwards in the past few years."

"Okay, father, I'll come to see you another day." After receiving the pardon, Cheng Ji got up and ran away without stopping.

Father Cheng walked to the door and looked at the back of the young man running away with his sweetheart, and warned: "Be careful, if you are unsure, come back to your father, understand?"

Cheng Ji turned his head and smiled and replied: "I know, I know."

When Zhang Qiling saw Cheng's father, he turned his head and bowed deeply, but before he could say anything, he was dragged away by the young man.

Father Cheng stood at the door for a long time, until the two people's backs completely disappeared from his sight, then he turned around and went back into the house.

Sitting at the table in the study, he sighed softly, his eyes filled with sadness that he didn't have when facing Cheng Ji.

Sure enough, a person who is deeply trapped in the chess game cannot escape from the chessboard no matter how many times he tries. I just don’t know if his wish will come true in this life.

In his previous life, he was trapped in a game of immortality, changed his name to Qi Yu, and died in the game.

In this life, his wife Cheng Wanru begged her maternal clan, with whom she had already severed ties, to give their child a chance to live. Originally, that family did not agree, but for some reason they agreed to their request and raised the boy in the clan until he grew up.

But how could this family escape the net that has been laid for the immortals for thousands of years? Now they are being dragged deeper and deeper into it.

The same goes for Cheng Ji, and the head of the Zhang family beside him.

I hope they get what they want.

Father Cheng turned off the lights in the room and sighed heavily in the dark night.
