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!”
