He didn't care whether the face he made when he coaxed her was ugly or not, as long as the baby girl smiled, he would laugh too.

He was covered in dust after traveling all the way, but the baby girl in his arms remained pure and clean, and was obviously well taken care of.

Qin Jiu should hate him, but seeing what he had done for her, the softest part of her heart was touched.

She has no parents, but she has truly had fatherly love.

She sniffed and looked up at the sky, trying not to let the tears welling up in her eyes fall.

Soon, he arrived at his destination, a place Qin Jiu was very familiar with.

Xirang Star Orphanage.

"I didn't expect you to come quite early?"

The person who was speaking in front of him was Dean Lu, but she looked quite young now, and one could still see the shyness and expectation of a little girl on her pretty face.

Qin Jiu already knew that she liked Rockov.

It's just that Rockefeller has already stepped half a foot into the coffin, and has long lost his former vigor and vitality. Some people believe that he is now an old man. But even so, Dean Lu seems to still have a filter left over from the past for Rockefeller, and his feelings for him are still hot.

Dean Lu came to his side in a hop and skip. She circled around him and after a moment asked with some distress: "How did you become like this?"

"Well, because of the alien beast genes, it's a matter of time." Rockoff still acted calm in the face of this matter, but from his current tone, one can hear that he is relieved.

His little Qin Jiu has been born, and he has fulfilled his biggest dream in life. The only regret is that he cannot watch Qin Jiu grow up.

Upon hearing this, Dean Lu opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was unable to speak.

Perhaps what she wanted to say was too cruel for Rockoff, and she didn't want to make things difficult for him in his remaining days.

Her eyes moved, finally focusing on the child in Rockoff's arms.

"That's what you said..."

"Well, my child."

"You..." The woman's facial features were frowned, and she was obviously unhappy. She said gloomily: "Why are you still hanging out with her? How am I inferior to her?!"

Qin Jiu was stunned. She suddenly remembered that Dean Lu had told her before that she was the illegitimate daughter of Rockoff and another woman. It turned out that Dean Lu did not deliberately conceal it, but... she did not know that she was an experimental subject?

Rockoff said calmly: "She and I have been in love for so many years, it's normal for there to be a chance for the relationship to rekindle, right?"

"You!" Dean Lu crossed his arms, looking angrily, "What about me? You and I don't have any feelings for each other?"

"Haven't you and I always been brother and sister?" Rockefeller took the initiative to break Dean Lu's unrealistic fantasy. Rockefeller had never given Dean Lu hope. It was just Dean Lu's wishful thinking.

Dean Lu was so angry at his attitude that she laughed. She snorted and said, "You are still you, still so heartless!"

Rockoff covered his mouth and coughed twice, and his palms suddenly turned red. Dean Lu saw it and immediately asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Rockoff waved his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and joked, "Why? Why don't you invite me in?"

"Alas... You are still like this, never saying anything!" Dean Lu seemed to have no idea what to do with him, so she had to open the door and welcome Rockoff in.

The two sat in Dean Lu's office, chatting about each other's recent situation.

Qin Jiu also pieced together some scattered events from their conversation.

It turned out that this piece of land was found by Rockefeller for Dean Lu, saying that it could help Dean Lu complete her experiment. Dean Lu's purpose of transforming this place into a large orphanage was also very simple - because Rockefeller wanted to give Qin Jiu to her for upbringing, she needed to give Qin Jiu an identity so that she could live normally in every corner of the galaxy.

And Rockov... he lied to Dean Lu, saying that Qin Jiu was the child he had with another woman, and in his last days, he wanted to entrust his child to Dean Lu.

"Will you blame me? Blame me for not saying anything and just entrusting the child to you." Before Lu could answer, Rockoff muttered to himself, "Of course you will blame me..."

"Hmm, weird." Dean Lu took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and glanced at Qin Jiu in Rockoff's arms again: "You are not a good father, nor a good man. As for her... she is also competing with me for a man."

Hearing this, Rockoff laughed helplessly and said, "You are talking nonsense in front of children, aren't you afraid of corrupting them?"

"Tsk, how can a little brat like her understand what we are saying!" Dean Lu said, and stretched out her hand in the direction of Rockoff, saying, "Let me see."

Rockoff hesitated for a moment, but still handed the baby girl over.

Dean Lu held the baby girl gently. She said she was disgusted, but her actual behavior was completely different from what she said. She obviously cherished the child Rockoff very much.

She reached out and poked the little girl's cheek. Instead of crying out of fear, the child looked at Dean Lu with her big round eyes. After a long while, she suddenly laughed out loud.

Dean Lu was inexplicably touched by her smile, and the resentment in her heart gradually dissipated like an iceberg melting.

"She looks so much like you." This was Dean Lu's heartfelt sigh. Before Eve was hatched, she did consume a lot of Rockoff's genes, so it was reasonable that she would be somewhat similar to him.

Because of this, Rockoff knew that Qin Jiu’s identity would be easier to fabricate.

"Have you given her a name? What's her name?" Dean Lu had teased the child enough and finally looked up at Sharrockov again.

"Qin Jiu, her name is Qin Jiu."

"Qin Jiu?" Dean Lu was a little surprised. "Why did you give him this name? It has nothing to do with you."

Rockoff looked at the little girl in Dean Lu's arms who was looking at the world with curious eyes. His gentle voice like water came again: "Yes, call her Qin Jiu. I named her that. I hope she can have her own life and not live under my shadow."

Upon hearing this, Dean Lu shrugged and stopped dwelling on this issue.

A name... for the children in the orphanage, it was just a title. They knew their situation, so they wouldn't pester me to ask why they were called this name. Dean Lu didn't need to explain the origin of her name in the future. Only Dean Lu knew that this name was given to her by her father, not a random name.

"Will you stay at my place?"

"Well, stay for a while." Rockoff wanted to spend the last moments with Qin Jiu. He paused and said, "But before that, I have to go somewhere else."
