Chapter 714: 716, can I take a photo? (first update)

Tears welled up in the eyes of those devoted fans as "The Return of the Past" came back.

Joy overflowed as "The Return of the Past" finally returned.

Because they too were fans of "The Return of the Past".

"The Return of the Past" was a phenomenal woman, not a celebrity, nor an internet sensation, yet she could be called "National Goddess" and trend across the whole internet. If she had decided to step into the world of entertainment, acting skills wouldn’t have been necessary — with just her face, she could dominate the screen.

Chu Jin was still walking slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way. When she reached a crossroad, she saw a small figure.

This is...

A little loli.

In just over a year, the little loli had changed so much.

She had grown taller, and slimmer.

Her features had become more refined.

She appeared much more mature than before.

Chu Jin felt warmth in her eyes and slowly approached.

Noticing someone approaching, the little loli, without raising her head, said, "Hello, would you like a reading? What would you like to ask?" All the while, she shuffled the Tarot cards quickly.

"Pengpeng." Chu Jin stood over her, a shallow smile in her eyes.

That voice.

So familiar.

She had heard it countless times in her dreams.

The little loli’s hands, as she shuffled the cards, suddenly froze, but she was a bit scared to lift her head, fearful that it would be another illusion.

These past few days, she kept hearing Jin’s voice behind her.

But each time she turned around, there was nothing but emptiness.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The little loli continued to shuffle the cards, despite the warmth brimming in her eyes.

"Pengpeng." Chu Jin softly called out again.

As her pet dog next to her began to bark fiercely, the little loli finally reacted, lifting her gaze abruptly. As soon as she saw Chu Jin, she burst into tears.

"Jin brother!" She dropped the Tarot cards and hugged Chu Jin tightly.

The dog too stood up, resting its front paws on Chu Jin’s shoulders, fervently licking her face.

"Jin brother, I’ve missed you so much." The little loli clung to Chu Jin’s neck, her voice choked with sobs, quickly dampening Chu Jin’s T-shirt with her tears.

The dog: "Woof woof woof woof!" I missed you too.

It took a year for the little loli to truly grasp what death meant.

She couldn’t believe this moment was real.

She let go of Chu Jin and slapped her face hard. Only when a hot sting spread across her cheek did she realize that this was real.

It was not a dream, nor a hallucination.

Her Jin brother had finally come back.

She had waited so long, and Jin brother had finally returned!

"Alright, don’t cry. Such a grown-up, aren’t you embarrassed?" Chu Jin gently patted the little loli’s back.

The little loli rubbed her eyes, her voice a bit hoarse, "I’m just so happy, Jin brother, you have no idea, I thought you would never come back."

The dog whimpered softly alongside them, a sound of joy.

"How could that be, I’m your Jin brother!" Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "How could Jin brother never come back?" As she spoke, her voice also grew hoarse.

She had never been a sentimental person.

But at this moment, in this scene, she found it hard to keep her emotions in check.

She was grateful to still be alive, grateful to have such lovely people by her side.

"Jin brother..." The little loli hugged Chu Jin tightly again, her shoulders still trembling uncontrollably.

She was truly scared.

The little loli would always remember the scene of Chu Jin lying in a glass coffin wearing a white shirt, looking as if she was just asleep, and yet everyone said she would never return.

No matter how much she pounded on the lid of the coffin, there was never any response.

Nightmares often brought back the day she last saw Chu Jin at the Mo family’s home.

Ever since then, the little loli began to dislike rainy days.

She believed it was that rain which took her Jin brother away.

Now, her Jin brother had finally returned.

No one could understand how she felt at that moment.

She wanted to tell the whole world that her Jin brother had come back.

"Pengpeng." Chu Jin also embraced the little loli, resting her chin on the girl’s head, slowly closing her eyes to hide the moisture there, leaving only two lines of clear tears hanging on her eyelashes, glittering in the sunlight.

The two held each other tightly in this manner.

In this moment, silence was more expressive than words.

The dog sat at their feet, looking up at Chu Jin, uttering soft whines.

It took a while before the little loli finally let go of Chu Jin. She picked up the smile again, grabbed the Tarot cards, and shuffled them quickly, "Jin brother, watch me work the Tarot cards, aren’t I remarkable? Have I surpassed the master with my skills?"

"Not bad, not bad," Chu Jin nodded with a smile, "Give it another two years, and you could surpass me."

The little loli really had the hang of the Tarot cards, indeed inheriting the genuine craft.

"Jin brother, let me give you a reading, how about that?" The little loli’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

Doctors can’t heal themselves.

Fortune-tellers can’t read their own fortunes.

"Sure," Chu Jin said with a hint of a smile, "Then I’ll be in the capable hands of Master Mo."

The little loli immediately burst into happy laughter, "Jin brother, you’re the first one to call me Master Mo, haha."

At her young age, just ten this year, adults thought she was just playing house.

So there weren’t many who came for readings.

The little loli turned up here simply to wait for Chu Jin.

It was here that she met Chu Jin originally.

She held on to one belief steadfastly.

Where you feel, there you begin again.

It proved, she had done the right thing.

The little loli quickly washed the Tarot cards, then arranged a single-card spread for fortune-telling.

"Jin Bro, let’s start," the little loli said, pointing to the card spread. Ignoring her childish face, she was quite professional in her actions.

Chu Jin stretched out her fair fingertips and casually picked a card. Before flipping it over, she said with a light smile, "Then please, Master Mo, predict my future fortunes for me."

"Sure," the little loli patted her chest confidently, "Leave it to me."

Chu Jin slightly lowered her eyelids and turned over the card.

Upright: Empress.

This is the third card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot cards.

On the card face, the Empress wears a crown, sits on a throne, and holds the Magic Wand that reigns over all life on Earth in her left hand.

Above the Empress’s Magic Wand, golden wheat fields at her feet and a dense forest in the distance merged together, creating a scene teeming with life. There is also a heart-shaped mark on the throne with a pentacle etched on it.

It foreshadows the nature of maternal love, symbolizes the Empress’s inclusiveness, and the prosperity she brings to her people.

The little loli stared at the card, her mind racing. Then she gently said, "This card represents the circle of life and the blessing of the land..."

Towards the end, her eyes revealed an expression of disbelief, "And there’s...," she paused, and the strange light in her eyes instantly vanished.

It must have been a mistake.

Her skills were not yet refined.

And besides, an upright Empress card indeed represents femininity and authority.

The little loli quickly changed the subject, "Jin Bro, I also see that you will definitely be a paragon of maternal virtue in the future."

Of course, this is only a part of it.

She believes Chu Jin will be a paragon of maternal virtue.

But she did not believe in the other layer of meaning in the card.

Chu Jin raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "I’ll take that as a good omen."

As the head of the Superpower World, Mo Zhixuan, it was normal for the little loli to interpret such a card’s significance.

This also meant that the little loli was indeed ready to become a fortune-teller.

"Jin Bro, Jin Bro, is there any room left on your leg?" the little loli immediately hugged Chu Jin’s arm, "Remember to save me a spot."

"Sure," Chu Jin agreed very cooperatively, "I’m keeping both my legs reserved for you."

"I wouldn’t dare take both," the little loli continued, "Just save me a tiny spot, or else, godfather will definitely kill me."

Speaking of this.

The little loli looked behind Chu Jin and asked somewhat curiously, "Jin Bro, didn’t uncle come with you? Did you guys... break up?" By the end of her question, the little loli’s eyes glittered with a gossip-hungry gleam.

If they really broke up, does that mean her papa had a chance now?

The little loli was the same as before, deep down, she hoped that Chu Jin could live with Mo Qianjue, and then they could be a happy family of three, and of course, in the future, they might become a family of four, five...

Chu Jin, of course, knew that the uncle mentioned by the little loli referred to Mo Zhixuan.

In Mo Zhixuan’s presence, the little loli would sweetly call him godfather, but as soon as she was out of his sight, godfather became uncle.

"You’re that eager for us to break up?" Chu Jin tapped the little loli’s head, her brows arching teasingly.

"Of course not!" the little loli hastily waved her hands, "I’m just concerned about you!"

It looks like Mo Qianjue is out of luck again.

The little loli sighed deeply in her heart.

However, Daddy would be very happy if he knew Jin had returned.

Yeah.

Definitely.

Chu Jin took the little loli back to theking, and this time, she wasn’t using Spiritual Power to disguise her appearance. When the employees at theking saw her, their eyes lit up with intense admiration.

Just a second ago, they were scrolling through the news about "The Return of the Past" online, and the next second, "The Return of the Past" was standing right in front of them, alive and well.

How could they not be excited?

"Our BOSS is just that beautiful."

"BOSS, may I take a photo?" asked an employee with guts as big as the sky.

"Yes," Chu Jin nodded slightly, smiling, "but remember to make me look good."

Having lived her life once again, Chu Jin had gained a new understanding of life.

Life is about living boldly, splendidly, and happily.

Making others happy is also a form of happiness.

So, this time, she wasn’t refusing to take photos.

Beautiful people.

No matter what angle you take the photo from, they’re always beautiful.

Capturing such beauty on their cellphone screens, everyone almost wanted to lick the screen.

"What are you doing! Making such a ruckus, crowding around here—is there no sense of professionalism!" At that moment, a commanding male voice filled the air.

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately parted to make way for him.

"Huang Mao," Chu Jin greeted the man with a light smile.

"Jin!" Qin Zhenglin’s emotions were almost uncontrollable. He didn’t know what had happened to Chu Jin, but seeing her standing safely in front of him was more surprising than anything else for him.

"It’s so good to have you back, Jin."

"Yes, I’m back," Chu Jin looked up at Qin Zhenglin and continued, "I appreciate your hard work while I was away."

Qin Zhenglin’s tactics were incredibly sharp. In just a short year, the Lu family was no longer in existence.

Now in Capital City’s business world, aside from the Mo family, there was only theking.

Qin Zhenglin scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "What hard work! It’s what I should do. Come on, Jin, let’s go up and talk." It was then that Qin Zhenglin noticed the little loli by Chu Jin’s side. His brain short-circuited, and he said with surprise, "Jin, you move too fast!"

In Qin Zhenglin’s heart, only someone as good-looking as Chu Jin could have such a beautiful and delicate little girl.

The little loli was extremely adorable, and her facial features were especially exquisite, like a porcelain doll.

She would surely bring trouble to a city once she grew up.

Chu Jin smiled and said, "What nonsense are you thinking? Come, let me introduce you. This is my goddaughter, Mo Pengpeng. You can just call her Pengpeng." Chu Jin had already acknowledged the little loli as her goddaughter.

It was just that the little loli was used to calling her Jin.

"Oh," Qin Zhenglin rubbed his ear, embarrassed, and bent down to greet the little loli, "Hello Pengpeng, I’m Qin Zhenglin, your godmother’s business partner."

"Hello Uncle Qin," said the little loli politely.

After discussing some business with Qin Zhenglin, Chu Jin took the little loli back to Huagui Park.

Just like Mo Zhixuan had said.
