“It’s Zhenzhen! I found Zhenzhen!”
That electronic voice rang out joyfully once again.
Tang Zhen stared in disbelief at the robot beside her. Zhenguai was wearing a bright red, exquisitely crafted puffy dress, with a matching bow on its forehead, looking like an adorably beautiful robot.
“Zhenzhen, long time no see!”
The little robot was greeting Tang Zhen.
This unexpected reunion unfolded before her in a way that seemed almost unbelievable.
With just her eyes and intuition, it would have been nearly impossible to find the person she was looking for among nearly 100,000 people—but add a robot into the mix?
And when the robot’s highest-priority mission had been changed to finding someone, locating a specific target suddenly didn’t seem so far-fetched.
At first, Tang Yu and her brother were completely confused, unsure what was happening. Slowly, they realized: Zhenzhen… referred to Tang Zhen?
Tang Yu grabbed Tang Zhen’s arm and asked playfully, “Cousin, you know this robot?”
Tang Zhen’s eyes were still a little stunned, glistening with emotion. “Mm.”
Tang Yu was clearly very interested in the robot. If she wasn’t mistaken, the robot was wearing high couture from the D family.
Not only that—it was obvious the owner was wealthy and cared deeply for it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be dressed in such a beautiful and expensive dress.
Tang Yu’s eyes sparkled. “Cousin, what’s this robot’s name? Is it going to perform on stage later?”
The answer didn’t come from Tang Zhen—it came from Zhenguai itself.
In a cute electronic voice, it replied, “Hello! I’m Zhenguai. ‘Zhen’ is from Zhenzhen’s name.”
Tang Yu: !!!
Her cousin: !!!
A bombshell dropped from the sky!
No wonder Tang Zhen had been vague whenever the topic of robots came up. No wonder she seemed so familiar with this robot—it was all hidden in her earlier conversations!
The robot had been named after Tang Zhen herself. Clearly, the connection between them wasn’t ordinary.
But who was the owner of this robot?!
It didn’t take long for Tang Yu to find out.
Because—
Zhenguai’s owner had arrived!
The moment she saw him clearly, Tang Yu couldn’t hide her shock. She covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
Wasn’t this Ren Yanjing—the same champion from the calculus competition, the one Tang Zhen had precisely called by name?
No wonder! No wonder Tang Zhen had said she wanted Ren Yanjing to win.
So that was the kind of relationship they had?!
This reunion was far beyond Tang Zhen’s expectations.
111 had been screaming wildly in her mind.
111 screamed so intensely that Tang Zhen’s thoughts went completely blank.
It wasn’t until Ren Yanjing pulled her into his arms that she began to come back to herself, still slightly dazed.
They—
Were reunited just like that?
Ren Yanjing looked down at her carefully, unwilling to miss a single detail, as if he wanted to carve her completely into his heart. “Wife.”
That one word—wife—snapped Tang Zhen back to reality. She bit her lip, avoiding his gaze, and softly said, “We’ve already broken up.”
Ren Yanjing’s hands tightened slightly around her waist. “Not broken up!”
“Broken up.”
Ren Yanjing slightly emphasized, “Not broken up!”
Beside them, Tang Yu’s eyes were practically glowing like lightbulbs. She kept glancing here and there, and in that short span, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Ren Yanjing’s gaze softened. “Wife, thank you for coming to see Robert’s performance.”
Tang Zhen lifted her face slightly, but didn’t take any credit. “I didn’t come because I wanted to.”
Ren Yanjing’s focus didn’t waver. “But you didn’t refuse either.”
He didn’t care about the process, only the result.
At least, Tang Zhen had appeared in the city sports arena, appeared before him. So who suggested it first didn’t matter, right?
Ren Yanjing held Tang Zhen’s wrist firmly, making sure she wouldn’t leave his side. Only then did he turn his attention to Tang Yu and Tang Fei. “Hello, may I ask who you are?”
Tang Yu glanced at Tang Zhen. Seeing that she didn’t object, she quickly said, “Hello, I’m her cousin.”
Cousin?
Ren Yanjing had previously asked Ren Yanfeng for a background check on Zhou Xusi. While reviewing it, he had also looked at Zhou Xusi’s relatives.
He remembered that Tang Zhen didn’t have a cousin of this age.
Tang Yu was simple and sincere, unable to hide secrets. In one breath, she explained the situation about Tang Zhen being switched at birth. “So that’s the story. I’m her biological older sister, and the person beside me is my older brother.”
So that’s how it was!
No wonder the police had no further updates, no wonder they couldn’t find her—she had been carefully “hidden away.”
Ren Yanjing nodded slightly, his tone sincere. “Thank you.”
Tang Yu hurriedly waved her hand. “You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
Ren Yanjing’s right hand still tightly held Tang Zhen’s wrist. “Cousin, we have some things to talk about.”
Tang Yu looked at Tang Zhen and tentatively said, “Cousin, do you want to go ahead and talk?”
Tang Zhen was still a little dazed. She was supposed to be a background passerby, yet Zhenguai had found her.
And if Zhenguai found her, that meant Ren Yanjing had found her too.
Weren’t they supposed to have no more contact?
But the reunion happened so quickly, so suddenly.
“Santiao? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
111: 【…】
Because even it didn’t know what to say.
Tang Zhen let Ren Yanjing lead her away from the seats, weaving through countless people, until they reached a quiet corner backstage.
Once they were alone, Ren Yanjing cupped her right cheek with one hand, thumb brushing over her pale, soft skin, and whispered, “Wife, I’ve missed you so much.”
Tang Zhen bit her lip. “Didn’t you get that message? I said we broke up…”
“Not broken up!” Perhaps realizing his tone had been a little too intense, Ren Yanjing softened it, speaking warmly, “Baby, we won’t be apart.”
Tang Zhen’s voice grew firmer. “But, Ren Yanjing, we already are apart.”
Seeing how serious she sounded, Ren Yanjing lowered his gaze, hiding the disappointment in his eyes. “Do we really have to break up?”
Tang Zhen recalled every word 111 had told her—that the male lead was destined for the female lead, that they were soulmates, made for each other…
But right now, she was just a background passerby.
She turned her head away, too timid to look at him, softly nodding.
Ren Yanjing closed his eyes tightly. “Alright.”
It was as if he had made up his mind, gently exhaling.
Just as Tang Zhen relaxed, thinking their romance had ended for good, Ren Yanjing continued, “Tang Zhen, as long as you stay by my side, even if we have no names, no titles—”
“I’m willing too.”
