Inside the living room.

Ye Yao fumbled around and helped Wu Mi and the others start the game console.

It's rare to see Fu Qi so well-prepared; it would be a shame not to play.

Of course, I don't plan to play Night Ballad for the time being.

After all, she had to go head-to-head with Fu Qi.

Letting Umi and the others play games to pass the time is a good option.

So that they wouldn't get bored if they just stood there without saying anything.

At this moment, Fu Qi had already come out of the kitchen and sat down next to the sofa.

They seem ready to answer the questions.

"Xiao Yao, ask me anything you want, and I will tell you the truth."

Is it really true?

He's probably full of lies.

Ye Yao remained silent.

"Hmm, I do have a lot of questions for you, Uncle. What do you do at headquarters?"

"They're just logistics staff, not important positions."

Fu Qi replied with a smile.

He did indeed register a logistics staff member's identity using his privileges.

Even if Ye Yao wanted to see his work ID, Fu Qi could produce it.

It can be described as flawless.

Fu Qi initially intended to launch the attack as a high-ranking member of headquarters.

This is closer to his true identity—the director of the Countermeasures Bureau.

When the truth comes out later, it will at least lessen Yeyao's feeling of being deceived.

Maybe they wouldn't °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° be so resentful.

However, her high-profile status doesn't quite fit Ye Yao's current family situation.

In Ye Yao's eyes, Xiao Jing and Lou Wei were just ordinary people.

If an "uncle" is this important.

This might actually make Ye Yao suspect that her parents might also be involved in something shady.

Their identities are not yet ready to be revealed.

He'll have to play an ordinary person for at least some time.

Ye Yao saw through all of Fu Qi's inner thoughts.

"Oh, I see. Logistics staff, huh? They sound like they have a tough job."

She didn't show any doubt, but rather full of trust.

Do my parents know?

The problems with Night Ballads are starting to become more serious.

Fu Qi's mind quickly became active.

This has always been a sensitive topic.

Xiao Jing and Lou Wei both adopted Ye Yao as ordinary people.

They did not reveal any information about their identity as superhumans.

They haven't given themselves away yet.

If Ye Yao were to learn of their extraordinary identities, she might have many unpleasant thoughts.

It's easy to associate adopting someone with ulterior motives.

That's certainly true.

But Ye Yao is still too young to know these complicated things.

The only way to cover it up is with a white lie.

Fu Qi maintained a relaxed tone.

"Of course they know what I do, but they only have a rough idea, not that much detail."

"Actually, I was quite surprised when I learned that you came to headquarters. Being able to come to headquarters from a branch base shows that you have great potential."

"Maybe Xiaoyao will grow into a very powerful superhuman in the future, and I might even get a promotion because of you."

Ye Yao was almost speechless with emotion.

Promotion?

How can you, as the head of the countermeasures bureau, get promoted?

That's just utter nonsense.

It's absolutely wicked of someone of such high status to deceive a little girl!

Since that's the case, then don't blame her for dropping some bombshells.

Ye Yao's expression turned somewhat guilty.

Her hands, resting on her knees, unconsciously tightened the hem of her clothes.

His knuckles turned slightly white from the exertion, and his entire shoulder twitched slightly.

"Hmm..."

Those eyes, which had previously shone with cunning and insight, suddenly dimmed.

Her small nose twitched slightly.

Her long eyelashes drooped down, obscuring most of her eyes.

Her eyes darted nervously over the intricate pattern of the carpet, no longer daring to look directly at Fu Qi.

"So that means they know I have superpowers?"

Her voice was light and airy.

It has a fragile texture.

It was almost drowned out by the faint sound effects of Umi and the others playing games in the living room.

"We do have this understanding."

Fu Qi nodded subconsciously, maintaining a calm demeanor.

He immediately sensed something was wrong.

A strong sense of unease instantly seeped into his spine like ice water!

This is the gut of someone who has been in a high position for a long time frantically warning us!

Fu Qi clearly noticed the drastic change in Ye Yao's expression.

The little face that had just been showing a hint of hesitation was now completely drained of color.

All that remained was a fragile, almost transparent paleness.

Worry, like a tangible vine, grew wildly and coiled around her eyes, quickly replacing all other emotions.

It's a kind of... fear of losing the most important thing after you've done something wrong and been found out!

Wait, what kind of expression is that?

Why do you look so uneasy?

Fu Qi's heart sank, and alarm bells rang loudly.

Little darling, stop it!

Let's talk this out!

Fu Qi's mind went through a rollercoaster of emotions, from certainty to horror.

One second I thought my well-intentioned lie was flawless.

The next second, I was caught off guard by this sudden emotional storm.

What storms hasn't Fu Qi weathered?

But Ye Yao's sudden change in mood was even more troublesome for him than dealing with the siege of four experts!

Ye Yao lowered her head even further.

The voice trembled slightly, like a feather drifting in the wind.

"...I always thought they didn't know, I never told them..."

I thought that when the countermeasures bureau sent people there, they were just saying that we were going to a boarding school.

There was absolutely no exposure of superpowers...

Ye Yao paused for a moment, as if brewing up a more serious emotion.

"...Uncle, I'm a little scared...afraid they'll think I'm a bad kid hiding this from them."

They think I'm terrible... I'm afraid they... won't like me anymore...

The last few words were as light as a sigh, yet they contained immense panic, striking Fu Qi's heart directly.

Huh?

He had no idea that Ye Yao's concerns would be focused on this.

It's not a loophole that raises doubts about his identity.

It's not about uncovering your parents' hidden secrets.

Instead... she was afraid that her concealment would cause her to lose the love from her "ordinary" adoptive parents?

Are they afraid of their "good kid" image collapsing?

Fu Qi felt a tremendous sense of suffocation.

He was too focused on concealing Xiao Jing and Lou Wei's true identities and the deeper purpose of their adoption.

They completely ignored Yeyao's extremely sensitive and fragile feelings as an adopted child who longed for the warmth of a family, and how carefully she tried to maintain the parent-child relationship!

Pressure! Unprecedented pressure!

It was 100,000 times more terrifying than being in a life-or-death situation back then!

I originally thought that Night Song wouldn't have the same breathtaking antics as Night Child.

As it turned out, Fu Qi miscalculated.

wrong.

This isn't the kind of pressure he should be under.

It should be more about the pressure Lou Wei has to bear.

As a result, that guy just hid in the sky and enjoyed some peace and quiet.

He left himself to deal with the mess alone.

If not handled properly, it might create a source of unease in Ye Yao's heart.

It was so difficult to get her to break free from the goal of pursuing strength.

Now we're stuck in another alley.

With such a huge emotional fluctuation, who can guarantee that nothing bad will happen?

Where is the prophet?

Miss Tu Sheng, please help!
