After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 217 Then what am I?

In fact, he did go to see a woman just now, but it was his mother.

However, he dared not tell Lan Die'er this under any circumstances, because who knew what she might do given her personality.

If she suddenly goes mad after finding out the truth, it would be troublesome if she released some poisonous insects at his mother one day!

"Uh... well, that's not it. I just had some trivial matters to attend to today, which took up a lot of time," he quickly explained.

"Hmph! I don't believe it. You must have gone to see Guan Ling Shuang, right?" Lan Die'er put her hands on her hips, stared at him with wide eyes, and asked.

"Yes, she is, after all, my fiancée." He hesitated for a moment before answering "truthfully."

"Then who am I?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Die'er's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and the smile she had been forcing almost crumbled.

She initially said she didn't care about becoming his mistress. Does that mean she really didn't care at all?

Damn it! This guy is a complete scumbag! You damned bastard, how dare you treat me like this!

You just wait, in my past life you wiped out my entire family, and I'll always remember that blood feud!

I never imagined that you, this bastard, would not only show no remorse but also try to deceive my feelings and cheat on me. You are utterly wicked, and I will never let you off easily!

After a moment of silence, Gu Yunchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile, and slowly spoke:

"Oh? Didn't you tell me yourself that you didn't mind this? Why are you acting up now?"

Lan Die'er suddenly changed her tone, her voice becoming even sweeter and more alluring, as if it could bewitch the soul, and continued:

"Oh dear, but I just can't help liking you~ I've tried to suppress these feelings, but I just can't control them, what am I supposed to do?"

Gu Yunchen slightly raised one eyebrow, while the corner of his mouth curved upwards into a charming smile, and said with a hint of teasing:

"Since you've already said that, what are you complaining about now? Don't forget, I risked being discovered by secretly coming out to meet you behind her back."

Hearing this, Lan Die'er pouted angrily and complained jealously, "Hmph, yes, yes, she's your fiancée, and I'm just a kept woman. Of course, I'm not qualified to be compared to her..."

In the end, it's because you're too biased! No way, you have to stay with me today no matter what.

I want to go boating on the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery and pick some delicate lotus flowers; I also want to sample all kinds of delicious food, such as the most famous signature dish at that newly opened restaurant...

In short, you have to agree to whatever I say and do it obediently! In this way, Lan Die'er rattled off a long string of thoughts that were on her mind.

Gu Yunchen maintained a smile throughout, nodding repeatedly in agreement: "Alright, alright, whatever you say, no questions asked!"

Anyway, all the money he and Lan Die'er spend on their "dates" is their activity fund. If there's money they don't need to spend, then they can spend it!

Under the bright sunlight, a small bird with stunningly vibrant colors was moving about leisurely. Its main color was a rich and noble golden yellow, as dazzling as if it were cast from gold.

At the same time, it cleverly combines vibrant red, deep blue, and mysterious black with a variety of colorful patterns. These elements intertwine and blend together to form an exquisite pattern.

Especially when this little bird is bathed in sunlight, its fine and soft feathers radiate a unique luster, and its dazzling and colorful appearance is simply mesmerizing.

At this moment, it is jumping back and forth on the roof with great joy, and each light leap shows a posture that is so agile, lively, full of life and vitality.

Its small, exquisite, yet bright eyes, like two crystal-clear gems, constantly sparkle with curiosity and agility, as if it is exploring the new and unfamiliar world around it with great interest.

Just then, Jiang Mianmian exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a red-bellied pheasant?"

Qin Ru couldn't help but look puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Uh... this isn't... it should be a phoenix, right?"

No matter how you look at it, it looks more like a phoenix from legend; how does it resemble a chicken at all?

"Uh, is it called a Luan bird?" Jiang Mianmian exclaimed sincerely, "Wow! It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, this bird is indeed beautiful!" Qin Ru nodded in agreement, adding, "However, I've been to the south before and seen this kind of bird there."

The local residents told me they called this bird a "luan bird."

"However, as far as I know, this kind of bird is not a common species in Beijing."

They typically inhabit certain specific areas, such as the towering mountains of Shaanxi, the dense forests of Sichuan, or the most remote southern regions.

I really don't know why this bird is here.

[Hehe, what's impossible! As long as the female lead, Su Qianqian, has this thought in her heart, let alone a bird, even the stars and moon in the sky might fall down from the heavens.]

Qin Ru: ...That's right. The female lead, Su Qianqian, is truly indescribable. She's practically a darling of the heavens!

Jiang Mianmian nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is really strange! However, the guesses that Lao San and the others made before are true. This bird is definitely not an ordinary bird."

It contained the soul of a human, and judging from his appearance, he was a young boy. However, this boy was exceptionally handsome, almost unbelievably so.

...Uh...um...

Well, judging from his appearance and demeanor alone, he doesn't seem like a child from an ordinary family!

At this point, Jiang Mianmian paused slightly, seemingly trying to recall the boy's appearance in her mind to make her description more vivid and lifelike.

They could gather information from those prestigious families, focusing on finding individuals roughly in the 14-16 age range.

Let's find out which family's child has recently fallen into a coma.

Upon hearing this, the other person accompanying Jiang Mianmian nodded repeatedly in agreement: "What the old lady said is absolutely right. I will tell the third young master."

Now that Jiang Mianmian has described the person's physical characteristics in detail, all that is needed next is to find someone to draw his appearance based on her description.

Then they would send people with the portrait to search for it, which would surely allow them to confirm it more accurately.

Qin Ru was still thinking about Jiang Mianmian's words when she suddenly heard a gasp of surprise:

Oh my, what a beautiful little bird! It's just like the legendary phoenix! I'm tempted to bring one home and keep it as a pet.

[Hehe, anyway, my house is very spacious. Even if I were to keep one, someone would take care of it. I wouldn't have to raise it myself, so it doesn't seem like a problem.]

Besides, most birds... probably only live for about ten years!

She had never kept any pets before, and didn't have any particular fondness for them.

When they were little, the two little ones were extremely naughty and mischievous, which really drove people crazy, so naturally they didn't have the desire to keep pets.

Instead of wasting energy and time on them, it's much more enjoyable to spend more money on some good food to treat yourself!

However, if she hadn't seen the phoenix with such bright and beautiful feathers today, she wouldn't have had such a thought.

However, instead of personally sending someone to arrange for a phoenix, Jiang Mianmian had a much better idea in mind.

She turned to Qin Ru beside her and whispered, "Qin Ru, after we find the owner of this bird, go and ask them if they'd be willing to let this bird stay in my yard for a while."

Jiang Mianmian stared intently at the colorful, lively, and adorable little bird in front of her, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.

He secretly thought to himself, "After having the bird stay with me for a while, maybe my initial excitement about keeping birds will gradually fade?"

By then, I probably won't have the desire to continue raising them anymore.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly, seemingly feeling somewhat helpless about her personality, which was prone to losing interest in the short term.

Furthermore, a sense of doubt and surprise welled up within her. After all, this wasn't the first time she had discovered that the female lead had such a wide range of interests and hobbies.

From her previous passion for raising dogs to her current keen interest in birds, could it be that Su Qianqian has suddenly become obsessed with the activity of "raising animals"?

However, everyone else kept real animals, but what Su Qianqian kept...

A startling thought involuntarily surfaced in my mind: "Could it be that this female protagonist wants to try out a shocking, bestiality-based romance?"

Qin Ru: ...What a heavy taste for women?

Jiang Mianmian turned to Qin Ru beside her and said, "Do you think she's been reading some kind of bestiality novel lately? Otherwise, why would she be interested in keeping animals?"

Qin Ru nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right. Su Qianqian has indeed been obsessed with these kinds of stories lately."
