Ye Youyou reached out to rub Li Jianqian on his head and replied, “That won’t happen. Your little sister worships the ground you walk on. She’ll never think you’re a fool. You’ve been a really good brother.”

Li Jianqian looked down and didn’t say a word.
He gripped the crystal ball tightly in his hand, but the expression on his face did not reveal his thoughts.
–
Li Residence, Yuxiu Villa Estate…
Li Jianyue was hugging the puppy, Teeny Su, and bawling her eyes out. Her tears and snot mingled together, creating a mess on her face.
The golden retriever puppy sadly frowned at her and howled along in sorrow.
Li Mosen stood in front of her. At a loss of what to do, he asked, “Why are you crying? Look! Even the puppy has been frightened by you!”
Li Jianyue wailed even louder. Her little round and white face was covered with pink splotches and streaks of tears.
In between her tears, Li Jianyue’s little body quivered as she yelled out, “I… I miss Older Brother! Sob sob sob…”
The child’s voice interspaced with her feeble sobs reminded Li Mosen of the empty bed he had been facing the past few nights. The bed that Li Jianqian used to sleep in had suddenly become empty.
For the past few days, Li Mosen’s mood had been somewhat down too.
When he saw Li Jianyue playing with Teeny Su happily and without a care in the world, he had thought that she had already forgotten about the whole incident.
He had never expected her emotions to suddenly burst forth in such a manner that even she couldn’t control.
Dasu had gone to the Capital alone. Was he missing them the way they were missing him?
Perhaps he was. Perhaps he had made new friends in the Capital and was having too much fun to remember them.
Li Mosen’s heart was feeling empty. He went up to envelope Li Jianyue in a hug. He said, “Don’t cry. If Dasu were to know that you’re crying, he’d be very sad.”
“Sob sob sob…” Li Jianyue leaned on Li Mosen’s shoulder. She unabashedly wiped her tears and mucus on his sleeve. She replied, “Older Brother is very sad. I can feel it. He isn’t happy at all.”
Li Jianyue wiped her tears and said, “Mommy said that if Older Brother doesn’t want to stay in the Capital, she’ll bring him home.”
It was as if the kid had suddenly caught hold of a lifeline and wasn’t about to let go. She wiped her tears off and sniffed hard before saying, “That’s what Mommy said. Adults are not allowed to go back on their word.”
As she continued muttering to herself, she quickly stood up.
Nanny Rong heard the little girl’s cries. Her heart went out to her.
The eyes on her elderly face were red. When she saw Li Jianyue running out barefoot, she quickly exclaimed, “Oh no! You mustn’t run out without wearing your shoes. Hurry and put on your shoes first!”
Li Jianyue acted as if she hadn’t heard a word. She ran over to the telephone in the sitting room. She picked up the phone.
Relying on her memory of the number, Li Jianyue called Su Qianci.
Su Qianci usually spent her days at home with the children, playing with them and telling them stories. Unfortunately, things had become busy at the office lately.
As a result, Su Qianci had been spending the past few days at the office.
She was helping Li Sicheng handle some miscellaneous matters. Her job scope was pretty much similar to Cheng You’s.
Upon seeing that the call was from home, Su Qianci’s first assumption was that the caller had to be Nanny Rong.
However, when she answered the call, she realized that the person on the other line was someone else.
The voice of Li Jianyue sobbing could be heard. The child cried over the phone, “Mommy, I miss my older brother!”
Su Qianci was silent for a few moments when she heard the little girl’s words before she finally said, “Older Brother will be home during the school holidays. You’ll be able to see each other then!”
