The Baby from a Runaway Pregnancy Romance

Zhu Taoning is the baby in one of those CEO romance stories where the heroine runs away while pregnant.

She has the "genius baby" setup, with an IQ of five hundred, and can talk from the moment she's born. She'll be doing calculus at three and will have mastered more than a hundred languages by the age of five.

According to the plot, Zhu Taoning will return to the country with her mother, who has suffered both physical and emotional abuse.

Then the domineering CEO will realize that Zhu Taoning is the spitting image of him! Father and daughter will reunite, setting off a tangled love-hate relationship with his delicate, pampered heroine.

Zhu Taoning finds the whole thing ridiculous.

With an IQ this absurd, is she really supposed to be nothing more than a cute little accessory between some CEO and his darling wife?

Whoever wants to be the CEO's baby can have the job. She's going to study hard, serve her country, and make a name for herself in history!

During her first week back in the country, the System tells Zhu Taoning that she has to earn fifty thousand yuan within three months.

The System figures a little kid has no way to get that much money except by asking her CEO dad.

But Zhu Taoning doesn't go looking for her father. Instead, she signs up for every youth competition she can find.

Essay writing, math olympiads, robotics, inventions, and more. The prize money from all the competitions adds up to exactly fifty thousand yuan.

System: ???

Zhu Taoning: You clearly know nothing about the genius baby setup.

--Next book: What Do You Do When a Snake Suddenly Appears in Your Home?

Su Jiayue comes home from work and finds a pale blue snake sprawled across her floor.

It's so beautiful that she can't bear to leave it there, so she rescues it.

Then strange things start happening.

One morning, Su Jiayue rushes out the door, sure she's going to be late for work and lose her perfect-attendance bonus. But every traffic light turns green, and pedestrians mysteriously make way for her.

Not only is she on time, she's early and safe.

Su Jiayue: What's going on today?

Her landlord suddenly wants the apartment back, and things get as far as involving the police. But in the mediation room, the landlord unexpectedly bows and apologizes, then insists on renting Su Jiayue a luxurious high-rise apartment within the Second Ring Road for the same rent as before.

Su Jiayue: Wait, are you sure you're all right?

She buys a scratch-off lottery ticket on a whim and wins three million. She buys a cup of milk tea and happens to win a seven-day trip to Hainan for two. She buys a Double Color Ball lottery ticket and wins the fifty-million grand prize!

Su Jiayue: ...Oh my god!

And it all started when that snake came into her home.

A month later, the snake has recovered and leaves Su Jiayue behind.

It leaves her a single scale to preserve her good luck.

Some time later, Su Jiayue's family pressures her to go on a blind date.

Reluctantly, she goes to meet the man.

He's a fat, pig-faced jerk who says obnoxious, disgusting things.

Just as Su Jiayue is getting fed up and about to leave, a tall, handsome man appears.

The moment he steps in front of her date, the pig-faced man goes mad and starts slapping himself. He knocks out his own teeth, but doesn't stop, as if possessed.

Su Jiayue is completely baffled.

Then the man turns to her and smiles warmly. "Hello, I'm Lan Qi."

"We meet again."
