“Second Uncle, Second Uncle, since you don’t wish to help my family, I’ll just take my leave . ”

When she finished saying this, she did not bother to look at their expressions and simply left the villa .
She exited the villa in large strides, and as she looked at the dark sky, her heart weighed heavily on her .
Her face held a stunned expression and, like a puppet whose strings had been cut, she stiffly and sluggishly stepped onto the muddy road .
She walked to a luscious tree and squatted under its canopy . She hugged her knees together and buried her head in them .
“Daddy…” she cried helplessly .
From her mother’s sickness to asking for help from her relatives – this series of events really broke her heart and let her see the true colors of some people .
She sobbed like a child as she knelt while hugging her arms under the shade of the big tree .
It was not like this last time .
Back then, her cousin left all the good things for her and gently consoled her .
As for her second uncle, he showered her with love and treated her so much better than her cousin .
When did it all change?

“Daddy… Daddy…” she wept her father’s name .
‘Ge Ge, you are daddy’s bravest princess; you cannot cry so easily!’
Daddy, I’m so hurt… Daddy…
Da, da, da! Approaching footsteps were heard amid the mournful silence .
However, she was too wrapped up in her world filled with sadness to take notice of this .
Da! The sound finally stopped .
Before her was a man in black leather shoes .
The tall and well-built man lowered his head to look at the woman squatting and crying silently . After remaining mum for a while, he finally asked, “… Why are you crying?”
This sudden cold and crisp voice startled her into looking up .
“Why are you here?” she asked when he saw him looking at her .
“Why are you crying?” he pursued, ignoring her question .

He had secretly followed her here and waited outside her second uncle’s villa .
At the sight of her running out of her second uncle’s home in tears, his heart raged .
His heart ached further the moment he saw this little woman kneel down in sadness and weep bitterly .
“What does it have to do with you?!” she demanded, releasing all her bottled-up anger on him .
“…” He frowned slightly at her loud voice .
His sudden appearance destroyed her desire to cry . She got up and moved to wipe her tears with her sleeves when he handed over a square-shaped, gray handkerchief .
“Wipe your face . ” His forehead creased more tightly at her flushed and puffy face .
She sniffed and did not reject his offer . Swiftly receiving his handkerchief, she wiped her tears .
It was not enough for her to clean away her tears; she also violently wiped her snot with the clean handkerchief in front of him .
Her actions were clearly not elegant, but she only looked very adorable to him .
“What are you looking at?!” She fiercely glared at him when she spotted him staring at her intently .

“Heh…” He was amused by her fierce appearance .
“Thank you for your handkerchief . Here; you can have it back!” She harrumphed . His smile infuriated her into evilly shoving the dirtied handkerchief back in his hand .
Feeling the wetness of the handkerchief, all his amusement faded .
His smile froze in that instant, causing him to look exceptionally comical .
She burst into laughter at how silly he appeared .
She felt much better after looking at his frozen expression .
Ze ze ze! That old saying, ‘Happiness is built on other’s misery’, is indeed spot on .
“Ha ha ha!” It was with this thought that she laughed .
At her clear laughter, the anger he felt for being forced to come into contact with the soiled handkerchief dissipated .
Her tear-stained face was clearly unsightly, but her sunny smile made his heart jump fast .
The corners of his mouth could not help but form a smile as well .
This dumb woman, crying and laughing at the same time and behaving like a child…
Feeling amused and helpless at her smile, his mouth involuntarily curved upward .
“Why were you crying?” he asked again with a smile on his lips .
Her mood improved because of their recent interaction, so she did not find his presence annoying .
“Because I feel sad,” she replied softly .
“What made you sad?” he pressed on, as though the answer did not satisfy him .
“…” His question caused her to look up at him . When their eyes met, she saw the concern evident on his face, and her heart began to feel depressed again .
Someone who was not even a friend had so much concern for her, yet her relatives…
Her nose wrinkled, and she replied moodily .
“None of your business . ”
“…” He frowned at her response . Eventually sighing inwardly, he said gravely, “I’ll send you home . ”
