Chapter 169 The Sudden Appearance of Gu Xiaoting...

Hearing Xiao Ba's sincere and lovely words, Niannian felt a warm current surge in her heart.

She hugged Xiao Ba tightly, as if cherishing the most precious treasure in the world, and said with a happy and sweet smile on her face:

"Oh my, my little Ba is the best! In my heart, you are already a well-deserved hero."

Of course, if Xiao Ba really wants to level up and become stronger, then let's work together! I'm confident that your smart and capable dad can help you achieve your wish and make you an incredibly powerful being!

Hearing Nian Nian praise herself so enthusiastically, Xiao Ba couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy and pride.

It could no longer contain its excitement, and slightly raised its small, exquisite head, as if wanting to show the world its pride and joy at this moment.

At the same time, tiny, yet dazzling lights began to shimmer on Xiao Ba's petite body, like twinkling stars in the night sky, mesmerizing and captivating.

Just then, Ji Zhifeng's face showed great interest. His eyes gleamed, and he spoke expectantly:

"I've always heard that your research institute is incredibly mysterious, Brother Jian. I'm so glad to be here today, and I can't contain my curiosity. Would you be so kind as to take a look?"

As soon as Ji Zhifeng finished speaking, Jian Xiaohan's lips curled into a gentle smile, and he nodded slightly in agreement.

"That's certainly not a problem. We would be honored to have you visit us and offer your valuable guidance, Mr. Ji."

After he finished speaking, his deep and concerned gaze slowly fell on Niannian.

Niannian naturally understood what her father's gaze meant at that moment—he was worried about her.

So, she raised her rosy little face, tilted her round head back, and said in a sweet voice:

"Dad, you can go ahead and do your work without worry. I'm all grown up now and can take care of myself!"

Just then, Ji Yichen seized the opportunity to speak up, "Uncle, please don't worry. If Nian Nian is willing, I can take her to the amusement park that our family owns!"

Upon hearing Ji Yichen's words, Jian Xiaohan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile;

Then he winked playfully at Niannian, his eyes asking, as if to say, "My dear daughter, do you want to go with your brother?"

Niannian understood immediately and playfully winked her big, watery eyes back, indicating that she was happy to go.

Seeing his daughter's enthusiastic response, Jian Xiaohan waved his hand and readily said, "Alright! Since you've been so eager to go, then go! But please be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and, with Ji Zhifeng in tow, strode quickly toward the research institute.

He was relatively reassured about his daughter's safety.

Because the Ji family's amusement park has always been renowned for its high level of security, and with well-trained and dedicated bodyguards constantly protecting them, there is no need to worry too much.

Before long, the two arrived at the entrance of the amusement park in high spirits.

Upon entering this joyful world, the first thing that catches the eye is the colorful and uniquely shaped amusement facilities, and the cheerful and pleasant music that fills the ears.

These beautiful sights instantly brightened Niannian's eyes, making them sparkle with excitement and curiosity.

Ji Yichen enthusiastically led her onto the dreamlike carousel.

Accompanied by a melodious tune, the carousel slowly began to turn, and Nian Nian felt the gentle breeze caressing her cheeks, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Next, they experienced the thrilling roller coaster ride.

As the roller coaster sped by, Niannian couldn't help but scream, feeling both nervous and excited.

Finally, the two rode together on a cute little train, slowly traveling through the entire amusement park and enjoying the beautiful and charming scenery along the way.

In this amusement park filled with laughter, Nian Nian's laughter was as clear and loud as silver bells, rising and falling, echoing in the air.

It is obvious that at this moment, she is like a blooming flower;

They were completely immersed in that seemingly endless ocean of joy, fully enjoying this incredibly wonderful and unforgettable happy time.

Just as they were eagerly preparing to ride the Ferris wheel and experience the thrill and joy of overlooking the beautiful scenery from high above;

Suddenly, a clear and familiar voice, like a bolt of lightning, pierced the sky and entered their ears directly:

"Ji Yichen, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this voice, Ji Yichen and Niannian turned their heads almost simultaneously.

Where our eyes met, a graceful girl stood there, poised and elegant.

This person was Gu Xiaoting. Today, she was wearing a beautiful white dress, as white as snow, with the skirt fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth.

She wore a small, exquisite, and uniquely designed cute hair accessory, which added a touch of playfulness and sweetness to her head.

However, a hint of arrogance lingered on that delicate face.

Speaking of Gu Xiaoting, she's really something else.

From a young age, she had a fondness for Ji Yichen, and this feeling grew deeper and stronger with the passage of time.

Normally, she would rack her brains and try every means to show her best side to Ji Yichen, hoping to attract more of his attention and favor.

Unfortunately, her feelings were unrequited; Ji Yichen seemed oblivious to her intentions.

At this moment, when Gu Xiaoting witnessed Ji Yichen having a great time with Niannian, an unnamed fire instantly rose from the bottom of her heart and burned fiercely.

Seeing how intimate the two of them were made her feel a mix of emotions.

A mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors, with jealousy being the most intense.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Gu Xiaoting, Ji Yichen remained quite calm and composed. He smiled and responded politely:

"Oh, it's Xiaoting! Niannian and I just happened to be passing by and thought this place was quite interesting, so we came in to take a look around and relax a bit."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoting quickened her pace involuntarily and walked straight toward Niannian.

Upon getting closer, she first looked Nian Nian up and down with a condescending gaze.

Then, a slight, mocking smile appeared on his lips as he deliberately raised his voice and said:

"Oh ho, who do you think you are? You think you're worthy of being played with by Brother Ji? You're such a grown man, yet you're still so childish!"

Niannian was taken aback. She hadn't expected Gu Xiaoting to say that, and felt a little uncomfortable, but she still responded politely:

"The amusement park is so much fun! I love it here."

Gu Xiaoting was unwilling to give up and continued, "Ji Yichen, why didn't you bring me along? Why did you bring her instead? Don't you know how I feel about you?"
