The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 15

“Jiejie (Sister).”

Qin Mianmian crept over to Jian Yinan.

She blinked her clear eyes, her curled eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. When Qin Mianmian smiled, a little dimple appeared on her face, and Jian Yinan couldn’t help but poke it.

Mianmian had always been very attached to her, and even more so recently.

Her eyes, unable to hide what was on her mind, clearly showed she had something to say, but in her shyness and hesitation, she couldn’t utter a word.

Qin Hang was tied up with his teacher and couldn’t spare any time, and Mr. and Mrs. Qin had been staying at the company for several days.

It was just the two of them at home.

The butler was in the garden. Qin Mianmian glanced over, then shifted her gaze back to Jian Yinan. This time, she finally made up her mind: “I want to eat a small cake.”

Her expression was practically saying: Please, please, please~

Jian Yinan’s heart was completely struck.

She didn’t like children, finding them troublesome.

But Qin Mianmian was different; she was a cute and sweet little angel. In this moment, Jian Yinan wished she would never grow up.

People always mature, moving from youthful innocence to adulthood. Even if time were turned back, one could never reclaim one’s younger self.

The reborn Jian Yinan had the soul of a woman in her twenties. Even if she pretended, she couldn’t mimic the pure innocence Mianmian possessed now. Her smile was sweet and radiant, like warm sunshine.

Jian Yinan watched intently, then poked the little dimple again.

Qin Mianmian felt a little ticklish and laughed, dodging her finger.

Her secondary card had been taken back, probably because they thought Jian Yinan was too extravagant. She could only go to the kitchen to look for snacks, but after searching around, she came back empty-handed.

The snacks were locked up, and the key was likely with the butler.

So Jian Yinan also looked towards the butler in the garden.

Qin Mianmian followed her gaze for a while: “It doesn’t have to be today, it can be later~”

That would be a long time later, Jian Yinan thought, patting her head.

Since the Qin family was so strict, she decided to take Mianmian out to eat! Jian Yinan made up her mind: “Let’s go out and play with a friend.”

Qin Mianmian: “Are we going to sponge off a friend’s house?”

Qin Mianmian had been corrupted by Jian Yinan over this period.

“We could, whose house should we go to?”

“We can only go to Shen Jinyu’s house, he has a lot of snacks.”

“…Let’s just forget about that then.”

Since Qin Mianmian finally had the idea to sneak a snack, why take her to Shen Jinyu’s house? Jian Yinan instructed her: “We can’t go to Shen Jinyu’s house. Even though he has a lot of snacks, the adults are all on the same side, and his parents will tell on us!

“Then, the secret about you sneaking snacks won’t be kept!

“Only I won’t tell on you!”

Because I’m a shameless adult, Jian Yinan thought.

Qin Mianmian was convinced: “Okay, then we won’t go to his house!”

But she really wanted a cake! She couldn’t eat it at home, and she couldn’t sponge off Shen Jinyu’s house. Qin Mianmian tried to restrain herself, thinking that eating the cake or not didn’t really matter!

She shouldn’t be unreasonable or cause Jian Yinan trouble.

Since Jian Yinan was determined to corrupt her, she would see it through.

She took Qin Mianmian, claiming they were going to a friend’s house to play, and then secretly came to the shopping mall.

It was that same cake shop, and that same strawberry cake.

Qin Mianmian hadn’t expected to actually get to eat a cake! Jiejie is too amazing! She looked at Jian Yinan with adoration.

Jian Yinan: Ahem.

The money came from the split with Aunt Zhang, counting as her first small personal fund.

Though the first split was only a few thousand yuan, which she found quite disappointing, thinking it would have been better to reinvest it to grow the business, she also knew in her heart that ten thousand yuan wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Unless she invested several hundred thousand.

Where would Jian Yinan get that much money to invest…?

She pondered, watching the people walking past outside the cake shop.

At least this few thousand yuan allowed her to bring Mianmian out to eat a small cake. Jian Yinan curved her eyes, leaning lazily against the chair. The two months spent with Mianmian had taught her to relax.

This was a leisure she never had in her past life.

Jian Yinan slightly raised her head, noticing a stranger approaching from not far away. It seemed quite a few people were watching them.

She had been kidnapped before, so she heightened her vigilance.

This was a bustling large shopping mall, and the other party wouldn’t choose to make a move here. Their driver was right outside the mall, and as long as she took Mianmian out, they could immediately return to the Qin family home.

Jian Yinan remained calm: “Mianmian, are you done eating?”

They had to go.

Qin Mianmian held her small fork, looking at Jian Yinan blankly. She still had half of the small cake left.

She put down her fork, deciding to obediently follow Jian Yinan back.

She was already very satisfied just to have tasted the small cake!

Just as Jian Yinan was about to take Qin Mianmian and leave, the person had already walked into the cake shop and came directly to their table.

Are they going to make their move here? Jian Yinan narrowed her eyes, protecting Qin Mianmian behind her, ready to fight back at any moment.

Unexpectedly, the person asked politely: “Little one, is your adult nearby?”

Qin Mianmian was about to say no.

Jian Yinan stopped her, speaking first: “They’ll be here soon, they told us to wait here.”

Qin Mianmian suddenly understood.

She whispered: “Is he a bad person?”

Jian Yinan squeezed her hand. Her first feeling was that he wasn’t a bad person, but a truly bad person never wrote it on their face.

Since she was with Qin Mianmian, she had to be careful and not be negligent.

The person’s attire and the watch on their wrist were not cheap.

But Mianmian looked even richer, with her porcelain-white face, dreamlike princess dress, and delicate, doll-like appearance—too easy to attract trouble.

“It’s like this, I’m from a production team filming a cute children’s show. Could I trouble your adult to talk with me?”

Jian Yinan: “…”

She reached out for his business card, feeling her intelligence level had dropped.

The person handed her the business card. Jian Yinan couldn’t see any signs of fakery, and therefore, she became even more silent.

The person from the production team kept his gaze on Qin Mianmian: “You are truly too adorable. The audience will love you. There are many little friends in the show, would you consider it?”

Qin Mianmian didn’t quite understand and looked at Jian Yinan for help, feeling a bit anxious.

Jiejie said this person was a bad guy, I don’t want to talk to him.

Jian Yinan flipped the business card over, slightly surprised. She recalled that ten years ago, a cute children’s show was very famous. Two children from it were paired up as a couple by a group of adults, and they were still a hot topic ten years later.

Most importantly, as the first of its kind, the production team was very generous.

Jian Yinan almost asked how much money? Good thing she didn’t ask.

It wasn’t surprising that the production team noticed Qin Mianmian; her appearance was so stunning. She didn’t need to do anything; just standing there quietly would garner attention.

She was too cute, soft, and obedient.

Jian Yinan was very short on money, so much so that she subconsciously thought: If the salary were invested in the company, why would I worry about how to make it bigger and stronger?

It would be like a pig on a windy day, just waiting to fly.

Jian Yinan’s eyes sparkled, undeniably tempted: “I will pass the message on to the adult.”

The person didn’t want to pester them and only emphasized that she must relay the message to the adult. Then, he even ordered a small cake for Qin Mianmian, attempting to build goodwill.

Qin Mianmian looked at the extra small cake on the table, feeling a little tempted.

She looked at Jian Yinan.

Jian Yinan sighed. She pulled the cake towards herself: “I’ll eat this one.”

Spoiling a child shouldn’t mean letting her eat two cakes in one day. Jian Yinan shoved a mouthful of cream into her mouth, which was sickly sweet.

After returning, Qin Mianmian asked: “Jiejie, was what that person said true?”
