4116: The Other Side 85

The Other Side 85

Natalia's impression of Hua Jin had thus skyrocketed as well.1

The actor walked out of the room just as Gong Jie himself got changed. He looked displeased when he saw Hua Jin.

"Aren't you going to help her get changed?"

The actor frowned and appeared troubled. "She's a girl. She's still young, but it's best if she's raised to be aware of the differences between men and women! I'm a grown man. I don't think that's appropriate."

Gong Jie immediately recognized the problem and was impressed. "I didn't know you're such a principled person!"

The actor snorted. "Of course! Do you think everyone's as stupid as you?"

Gong Jie's expression changed at that. "What did you say!?"

"Nothing… nothing." He turned his head quickly and mumbled quietly, obviously terrified.

Yun Shishi suppressed a smile. Suddenly, a thought struck her, "Does she know how to dress herself? She's very young. Why don't I go in and help her?"

"She knows how to dress herself!" Hua Jin exclaimed. "And even if she doesn't, let her figure it out for herself. Independence is all about training from a young age!"

Yun Shishi nodded, then asked, "What exactly is going on with this child?"

Gong Jie replied, "Didn't Youyou mention it to you?"

"He didn't say too much." The woman lowered her voice. "Does she have a split personality, too? Really?"

"Uh huh!"

"I couldn't tell."

Gong Jie raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Does Youyou have a split personality?"

"Yes."

"You can't tell either, can you?"

Now that he'd pointed it out, she realized.

"But why did you adopt her?" She paused and continued, "I thought our Xiao Jie doesn't like children?"

Gong Jie said nothing at that, but looked at Youyou in a lingering and meaningful way. She followed his gaze to her son, and figured things out somewhat.

This… Could this boy have fallen in love so early on in life?! Her thoughts were in turmoil.

The actor let out a long sigh. "He's her guardian, so I've become the acting parent!"

Yun Shishi was confused. "Huh? What do you mean?"

The actor didn't dare say anything further. He shot Gong Jie a meaningful glance that bore a sense of resignation.

It baffled Yun Shishi. However, after only a moment, she understood. Probably Gong Jie had entrusted Natalia to Hua Jin's care. After all, Gong Jie's job involved flying around the world all year round, and it was so dangerous. It was definitely not convenient to have Natalia by his side. So, as a matter of course, he handed Natalia over to Hua Jin to raise. However, according to the boy, Gong Jie had bought a villa and registered it under Hua Jin's name. He had also given him a blank check as child support.

It had to be said… That was very generous of Xiao Jie. It seemed that he liked Natalia, too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.

The actor, however, hesitated. "What if Natalia doesn't warm up to me after Gong Jie leaves?"

"You need to bond with her," Yun Shishi said. "Relationships have to be cultivated!"

"How do we do that?" The actor was clearly at his wits' end in this regard. "I have no experience in such matters."

"That's easy. Like…" She pondered for a moment, then brightened. "Amusement parks!"
