The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Exploring the Zoo

Xiao Ying was carrying a thermos flask as she walked downstairs. She saw Zhou Yao walking over.

She walked closer and said, “Why didn’t you tell me you were here?”

Zhou Yao looked at her slightly red and swollen eyes and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Noticing his gaze, Xiao Ying turned her head a little uncomfortably and smiled. “It’s fine. This is for you.”

With that, she handed the thermos over. Zhou Yao took it very naturally.

Xiao Ying said in exasperation, “Don’t tell me you think I want you to hold my cup for me.”

Zhou Yao’s gaze told her that was exactly what he thought.

Xiao Ying could not help but chuckle. “This is soup to help your stomach feel better. How could you be fine after eating so much chili yesterday? It’s for you to drink.”

She was very experienced in eating spicy food. Every time she finished eating, she would have to drink a bowl of this soup. Otherwise, she would be really uncomfortable the next day.

Zhou Yao held the thermos tightly but did not drink it.

It was only after Xiao Ying’s urging that he drank it all, not leaving a single drop.

While they chatted, they had unknowingly arrived at the zoo.

As it was a weekend, there were quite a lot of people at the zoo, and most of them were parents who brought their children.

It was quite conspicuous for a pair of young people to come. After all, nowadays, people usually don’t choose to go to a zoo on dates.

Zhou Yao asked Xiao Ying to wait for a while. He queued up to buy two tickets and a cup of milk tea.

He placed the milk tea in Xiao Ying’s hand and took her backpack from her.

His series of actions were extremely smooth. Before Xiao Ying could react, everything had been arranged for her.

Before Xiao Ying could reject his help, Zhou Yao walked forward, and she could only follow.

After they entered, they went straight to the monkey exhibit in the zoo.

There were many people around the monkey exhibit. Xiao Ying watched the lively monkeys on the fake mountain.

Since they didn’t find any abnormalities in their behavior, they could only look for the zoo administrator.

They looked at each other and then went to the main hall of the zoo.

A man who claimed to be a manager walked over. When he heard the purpose of their visit, his expression changed. He looked at Xiao Ying and said, “Academician Xiao Ying, this type of thing definitely won’t happen at our zoo.”

It was not unusual for him to recognize Xiao Ying. Ever since the technology competition, Xiao Ying has been famous online.

The smile on Xiao Ying’s face did not change. She said cooperatively, “Then we might have found the wrong place. You should go back to what you were doing. We won’t disturb you anymore.”

Zhou Yao was pulled away by Xiao Ying.

After the two of them left, the manager wiped the sweat off his face and quickly told the higher-ups about this.

Zhou Yao asked in confusion, “There’s definitely something wrong with this zoo. Why didn’t you continue questioning him?”

Xiao Ying gestured for him to be quiet and pulled him to a corner outside the hall.

She whispered, “It’s obvious that the manager won’t tell the truth. There must be something fishy going on.”

Xiao Ying was worried that someone would take the virus and do something with it. She became even more anxious to know the truth.

After a while, the manager walked out in a hurry.

The two of them followed behind.

The manager walked to the back of the zoo, where there was a house.

Just as he was about to enter, he sensed something and turned around.

She was pulled into Zhou Yao’s embrace and hid behind a feed box.

Xiao Ying did not mind the close distance between the two. Seeing that the manager had turned his head back again, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yao’s body was a little stiff. The warmth in his arms made him swallow continuously.

Seeing that the manager had entered the house, Xiao Ying patted the absent-minded Zhou Yao and gestured for him to follow.

The two of them carefully approached the door of the house.

The door was locked. They could only watch through a small window as the manager worked inside.

He held a document in his hand as he recorded something. Then, he walked out with a large box in his arms.

Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao quickly hid, only coming out when he had walked far away.

Xiao Ying came to the door and looked at the locked door with a hesitant expression.

She looked up at the roof. It was too high for her to climb.

Zhou Yao came to the door and looked at the handle.

“Do you have a stiff card?” he asked.
