After successfully stealing a kiss, the little thing buried her head under the blankets, satisfied, and fell asleep.
Outside the window, the moon hid behind the clouds. Inside the cozy but childish room, the white puppy was falling asleep on the soft carpet. The wind chimes outside the window tapped lightly against each other with the breeze.
The man rigidly lowered his head and looked at the girl who was fast asleep. His eyes were soft and after a moment of hesitation, he lowered his voice and replied.
âGood night.â
...
Early morning the next day, the often quiet and lifeless Huo family suddenly became bustling with activity.
There was no other reason than the fact that everyoneâs favorite young master of the Huo family was coming back.
The moment the news was conceived, the mansion was blasted with happiness.
The little thing who had just woken up and got off the bed hugged the puppy tightly while rubbing her eyes, watching all the maids cleaned up the mansion in confusion.
âGrandpa housekeeper.â
She called out crisply and her white little face tilted up in confusion.
âEh?â The housekeeperâs anxious expressions disappeared for a moment when he heard the little girlâs soft voice. His tense expressions softened and he smiled slightly, âLittle miss, you are awake? Are you hungry?â
Ye Sang shook her head and blinked curiously, âGrandpa, are guests coming here?â
Housekeeper nodded eventually after hesitating; he thought that it was better to tell her about the Huo familyâs young master.
The middle-aged man hugged the ball of snow and sat on the couch, his low voice sounding worried, âYou just came so you shouldnât know, but our sir has adopted a young master.â
âOur sir doesnât have women around him, and probably wonât have any in the future, so he decided to adopt a child and raise him as his heir to reassure our old master.â
âThis time, the guest whoâs coming to the Huo family is our young master whoâs undertaking advanced studies overseas, Huo Chenyu.â
But...
There was something else he didnât say.
And that was: a cold-hearted person like their sir probably wonât take the child seriously even though he adopted the child.
In Huo Yaoâs eyes, Huo Chenyu was only a qualified heir.
As for that unnecessary fatherly love... it was impossible for Huo Yao to give that to him.
âIs it brother?â The little thing was confused and tilted her head at Grandpa housekeeper puzzledly.
It almost made all the maids and the housekeepersâ hearts melt.
âI heard that the young master has a bad temper...â A maid whispered.
âRight, Iâve heard about that too. I wonder if heâll bully young miss?â
âAaahhh, little miss is so cute, he canât be demented enough to do that, right?â
âWho knows?â Another maid was worried for Sangsang, âLetâs watch him closely today. If he dares to bully our little miss weâll tell the sir about it.â
Although they werenât sure if their young miss or Huo Chenyu was more important in Huo Yaoâs eyes.
...
The Huo familyâs mansion had never been this busy; everyone was anticipating the arrival of the young master.
The housekeeper hugged the soft ball tightly in his arms and comforted her as he was worried that she was scared, âLittle miss, donât be scared, you can tell me anything.â
âAlthough Iâm not that useful, my words are worth a gram or two in front of Mr. Huo.â
From the bottom of his heart, he really didnât want the young master to come back now.
The little thing hasnât been here for long and Mr. Huo was a cold person. He didnât put Huo Chenyu in his mind, let alone Ye Sang, who only spent about a day with him.
