Chapter 1: Reincarnated as a Nine-Month-Old Baby?

"Has the child been brought back? Is the paternity test report out?"

Old Mrs. Chi nodded. "It's out. Tiantian is ours; Chengcheng is not."

Old Mr. Chi gave a heavy grunt over the phone. "Then send Chengcheng back, so as not to delay her parents from finding her."

Old Mrs. Chi sighed. "I'm afraid that won't work. It’s said the child was abandoned by her parents; no one will want her if we send her back."

"Besides, Tiantian is very attached to Chengcheng. She cries the moment Chengcheng is taken away, so I’m afraid it won't be easy to separate them."

Old Mr. Chi pondered after hearing this. "In that case, let's keep her and raise her at home."

It seemed this child was fated to be with the Chi family.

"Has Wen-ting been notified?"

Old Mrs. Chi hummed. "He has. He's on his way home."

Chengcheng had just woken up and heard the voices of her grandparents.

She widened her dark, round eyes in shock, thinking she was dreaming.

Wasn't she already dead? How could she still hear her grandparents' voices?

Could it be that her grandparents were dead too?

Chengcheng was anxious to get out and see, but as soon as she stood up, she plopped back down. Her little fleshy feet were like small white steamed buns; she couldn't even walk yet.

She looked down at her round, soft belly and her chubby little hands.

There was a small tuft of hair tied up on her head; one look and it was clear she wasn't even a year old yet.

"Da?"

What was going on? Could it be that she had been reborn back to her baby days?

Old Mrs. Chi turned back and saw she was awake, her face full of loving kindness. "Oh, is Chengcheng awake?"

Seeing her grandmother calling her, Chengcheng flailed her little hands excitedly.

"Nai-nai~~" (Grandma~~)

Old Mrs. Chi smiled and picked her up, weighing her. "Oh, this child is quite heavy, and she’s grown to be quite lovable."

Her little round face was chubby, her little milk-mouth was rosy, and that little curly tuft of hair on her head was especially cute.

Even Auntie Fang, who had served Old Mrs. Chi for a lifetime, couldn't help but praise her.

"This child is truly pretty."

"Like a little snowball, milky white, and those big eyes look like they’re wearing black contact lenses—she’s as beautiful as a mixed-race baby."

It was just a pity she wasn't the young master's.

Old Mrs. Chi felt it was a pity too. "But this child is quite spirited; she looks very likable."

Seeing that her grandmother liked her, Chengcheng’s little milky face beamed with joy, and she flailed about excitedly.

Old Mrs. Chi laughed and was just about to tease her when she heard her "biological granddaughter," Tiantian, crying.

Tiantian was a timid child.

As soon as she woke up and saw the unfamiliar environment, she immediately began to cry timidly.

"Wuwu~ Ma-ma-ma~"

The crying made Old Mrs. Chi’s heart ache.

She set Chengcheng down and picked up her "biological granddaughter," Tiantian.

"Tiantian, don't cry, Grandma is holding you."

She coaxed her while going to prepare milk powder for Tiantian.

Chengcheng was left behind, staring at the scene in shock.

She remembered that all three of them—her father and the two sisters—had died.

It was only before she died that she realized she had been living inside a novel.

In the book, her father was a wealthy and powerful villain.

Because he refused to lend a billion to a vicious supporting character, the villain couldn't pay off his debts and held a grudge against her father.

He blamed her father for the destruction of his family.

On top of that, her mother was the villain's sweetheart, yet she had ended up with her father, which only deepened the hatred.

As for her biological father and mother, theirs was a dog-blood romance story of "you chase, I run."

Her mother, Lan Jiaojiao, was an orphan who met Chi Wenting while working at a restaurant.

One was cold and indifferent to love, the other was insecure and sensitive.

Due to a misunderstanding, her mother, Lan Jiaojiao, mistakenly thought Chi Wenting was only after her beauty and would never marry her.

So, after getting pregnant, Lan Jiaojiao ran away with the baby.

Afraid that Chi Wenting would force her to abort the child, she hid in the countryside and didn't even dare to go for prenatal checkups.

Thus, she didn't know she was carrying twins.

Eight months later, Lan Jiaojiao felt pain and wanted to go to the hospital for a checkup.

But she ran into the vicious supporting character on the way.

During their argument, Lan Jiaojiao fell off a cliff and fell into a deep coma.

The villain sent her to the hospital, and the children were delivered prematurely via C-section.

They were a pair of fraternal twin sisters.

They looked very different.

Looking at these different-looking twins, the villain hatched a plan to use the two children to destroy the Chi family.

The unluckiest of them all was Chengcheng.

Because her paternity test was swapped, the Chi family believed she was an unwanted orphan, not their biological daughter.

At first, Chengcheng also thought she was an adopted daughter.

It wasn't until she was fifteen that the villain told her she was the true daughter of the Chi family. He also lied to her, saying Tiantian was the fake daughter, trying to sow discord between the sisters.

Chengcheng didn't believe it at first and secretly went to get a paternity test, but the results showed she was indeed the biological daughter.

She told her family, but no one believed her.

Because the test reports the Chi family received only showed that Tiantian was the biological one, and she was not.

Seeing that no one believed her, Chengcheng was heartbroken. Coupled with the villain's instigation, she ended up arguing with her father.

In the end, the three of them were kidnapped. The kidnappers even taunted Chi Wenting, "I heard Chi Chengcheng is your real daughter. Now that both the real and fake daughters are here, which one do you plan to save?"

Chengcheng had no hope at the time.

Because she had caused trouble at home and bullied Tiantian at school, she was sure her father must have hated her long ago and wouldn't save her.

But the moment the boat exploded, Chi Wenting grabbed one in each hand, and even with his back burned, he pulled her and Tiantian off the boat.

Chengcheng was shocked at the time; after all, her father’s attitude toward her was usually cold and reticent.

She hadn't expected him not to abandon her at the critical moment.

She had thought the three of them would escape safely, but the speedboat they were escaping on exploded too!!

With a loud "Bang!", all three of them perished.

Only before dying did Chengcheng realize that the so-called "real and fake daughters" were actually all "arranged" by someone!!

The goal must have been to keep the Chi family in turmoil!

It was a pity she realized it too late. If she could do it all over again, she would never be deceived again and cause harm to the Chi family.

She didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, she would actually be reborn.

It was just that the timing of her rebirth was a bit early.

She was now a milky baby, and her father couldn't understand her baby talk.

And if she told the truth, would her father believe her?

After all, the plot set in the book was that the mystery of her identity would only change when she was fifteen. If she forced it out, she was afraid of causing a bug, and she didn't want to harm her father's family.

It seemed she would have to find another way.

Old Mrs. Chi watched her little expressions change, her little milk-mouth mumbling something unintelligible, and thought it was quite cute.

"This child, I wonder what she's thinking about?"

Auntie Fang laughed. "Babies have wild imaginations; she's probably imitating your sigh from just now."

Old Mrs. Chi pondered. "It seems I'll have to set a better example from now on, otherwise it won't be good if they learn bad habits from me."

Just as she was speaking, Chi Wenting returned.

"Mom? Where's that little brat?"

Chengcheng looked up and saw a tall man with deep-set eyes, looking very much like a mixed-race person.

Was this her father when he was young?

He was quite handsome.

It was just that his temperament was a bit roguish and cold, giving off an unapproachable vibe.

Old Mrs. Chi handed Tiantian to him.

"Here, your daughter, the biological one."

Chi Wenting took Tiantian with clumsy movements, his handsome face showing disdain. "Just this?"

A soft, weak lump, with big, pitiful eyes, looking like a little white rabbit about to cry—she hadn't inherited his masculine aura at all.

"This is too weak."

Tiantian was already shy, and being stared at so fiercely by him, she pursed her little milk-mouth and started crying, "Wuwu~"
