The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 416 - 415: Then Don’t Want to Think About It

Who exactly is Dou Dou?

Fu Yunhe didn’t continue to dwell on it. He merely thought of sharing his speculation with Nian Shutong. As for what to do or how to handle it, that was for Nian Shutong to decide.

In fact, he could partly guess that Nian Shutong wouldn’t care about this matter. She accepted only the most genuine Dou Dou and was indifferent to his identity.

Fu Yunhe stood up to inform Nian Shutong about the Crown Prince’s planned carving project.

As he approached the small wooden house, he heard Dou Dou’s voice brimming with excitement.

"Auntie, can I have this too?"

"Of course, as long as you like it, you can have it."

"Auntie, you’re the best! Dou Dou wants this, so I can take it out and use it anytime."

"And nobody else has one!"

In the last sentence, the bit of pride and show-off in Dou Dou’s voice made Fu Yunhe, who was outside, burst into laughter.

"Okay, Auntie will make it for you, and I’ll give it to you tomorrow. Is that good?"

"Good! Thank you, Auntie!"

Dou Dou, inside the room, stretched out his chubby little hands and wrapped them around Nian Shutong’s neck.

"Mua!"

It wasn’t hard to make out that this was a big kiss.

By the time Fu Yunhe had reached the door of Nian Shutong’s room, he only saw her putting away some colorful threads, clueless as to what kind of gift she was making.

"Auntie, Uncle Xiao He is here, so Dou Dou will go now!"

"Good night, Auntie, good night Uncle Xiao He."

Dou Dou hopped away happily, returning to his own house with joyful steps.

After watching Dou Dou enter his own house, Fu Yunhe curiously asked, "What are you going to give him?"

"It’s a secret. The gift must be seen by Dou Dou first."

Instead of telling Fu Yunhe, Nian Shutong asked, "Who’s the other lucky one? You must have checked, right?"

"No."

No?

Nian Shutong, who had been looking down, lifted her head to look at Fu Yunhe.

"No? That’s not like you... unless... you know this person."

Nian Shutong stared intently at Fu Yunhe, watching him nod his head.

"Do you know him now, or was it you from before? If it was you from before, then this person’s identity could be inexpressibly noble."

Nian Shutong’s thoughts were swift, her eyes continuously focused on Fu Yunhe.

Fu Yunhe didn’t hide anything. He simply pulled over a chair to sit down and said the answer outright.

"It’s the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince? That’s indeed as noble as it gets."

That remark made Fu Yunhe want to laugh. Probably this was the first time someone used ’as noble as it gets’ to describe the Crown Prince.

"Do you suspect Dou Dou?"

"Hm?"

Fu Yunhe sensed a kindred spirit in their unspoken understanding and looked at Nian Shutong with delight, asking, "How did you know?"

Nian Shutong, however, didn’t share that kind of telepathic sentiment. She knew much more.

Since ancient times, the Royal Family always personified great fortune in one body, with the prophecy of ’violet qi from the east’ never being idle talk.

Originally, she thought that Dou Dou’s fate was just a bit unique and didn’t connect it to the Royal Family. But today, seeing both the Crown Prince and Dou Dou, they seemed somewhat similar.

"It’s not hard to guess, as there won’t be many people like this."

Nian Shutong looked seriously at Fu Yunhe, and the weight in her tone made him take her seriously without neglect.

"Fu Yunhe, remember, Dou Dou is just Dou Dou. I don’t care about his identity and have no intention of using him for anything."

"As for the Crown Prince, we will stay out of it and not inquire. I will talk to Ji Sisi first, then decide."

"No matter what, let’s not have any contact with the Crown Prince for now."

"I know, I’ll follow your lead."

Fu Yunhe kept his eyes straight, allowing Nian Shutong to sense his attitude.

"Alright, thank you."

Fu Yunhe didn’t stay long; he informed Nian Shutong of the Crown Prince’s indifferent choice and went about his casual carving.

Fine, since the person in question doesn’t care about the specifics, Nian Shutong could definitely afford to be casual.

She took out a wooden carving from her Space Button, a simple and endearing little dog.

"Here, ship it out."

"Okay."

Fu Yunhe, holding the carved little dog, left Nian Shutong’s room and sent the little dog on its way.

At this time, Nian Shutong stood up, left her room, and looked for Ji Sisi.

Resolve issues as they arise, she disliked having anything pending.

When Ji Sisi emerged from her room, looking down, hands behind her back, she said in a flustered tone, "Mr. Nian, I made a mistake."

"I shouldn’t have let Dou Dou play on Star Network."

Nian Shutong looked at the troubled Ji Sisi and patted her on the head.

"Alright, no one blames you."

"Really?" Ji Sisi’s big eyes, almost as clear as Dou Dou’s, shone like spring water.

"Really, I have something I want to ask you."

Nian Shutong got straight to the point because she still needed to practice her cultivation after the conversation.

"Ask, go ahead."

Ji Sisi obediently stood still, waiting for Mr. Nian’s question.

Nian Shutong casually set up a barrier and asked, "Whose son is Dou Dou?"

"He’s my son!"

Ji Sisi’s matter-of-fact reply left Nian Shutong speechless and prompted her to ask another question.

"Who is Dou Dou’s father?"

"I don’t know!"

Ji Sisi answered the question quickly again, her innocent eyes on Nian Shutong, as she added,

"Mr. Nian, I really don’t know.

I attended a party, got lost on my way to a hot spring, and seemed to pass out for a while, but maybe not; however, after the party was over, I was pregnant."

Ji Sisi spoke of her story quite nonchalantly, without concern for the stigma of unmarried pregnancy.

"Have you ever thought of finding Dou Dou’s father?"

Mr. Nian’s question eventually made Ji Sisi show a contemplative expression.

"Mr. Nian, I’ve always been different from others. Our Ji Family is a Mechanical Family but I’m the least capable one because I can’t stand imperfections and can’t bring myself to learn what my family teaches."

"I’ve always been alone, confined to a room, until Dou Dou came along and became my companion."

"I love Dou Dou very much; that’s why I left the Ji Family with him and was lucky enough to meet Mr. Nian and Master Wali who was willing to teach me, as well as so many other lovely people."

"Dou Dou and I are super content; we don’t really want a dad around."

This was the first time Nian Shutong had heard Ji Sisi talk so much. She lived a simple and optimistic life and had firmly taken Dou Dou away from the Ji Family.

"Ji Sisi, I’m not certain about who Dou Dou’s father is at the moment, but there might be a clue. If you want to know, I can help you find out."

"If you don’t want to know, then let’s live together. I’m Dou Dou’s aunt, I always have been."

After Nian Shutong finished speaking, before Ji Sisi could be moved, she added,

"His father could be extremely wealthy and powerful."

Nian Shutong looked at Ji Sisi, somewhat dazed but adorable, and said, "I think you have the right to know about this aspect of yourself, so you can make an informed decision."

"Oh..."

Ji Sisi nodded seriously several times, then shook her head resolutely and said, "Don’t want to."

"Okay, then let’s not want to."
