Lin Xiao's mother was a gentle woman, but she was brought back because of Nan Lichuan's father's philandering.

He secretly loved his mother, but did not like Nan Lichuan's mother.

Therefore, Nan Lichuan's love turned into hatred.

After finishing his work, Nan Lichuan received a phone call from his father, indicating that guests had arrived at their home.

I also told him that his mother wasn't home, and that now was a good opportunity.

The boy frowned. Why would you say that?

"Okay, I'll be right back. My little brother hasn't taken a shower yet, has he? Wait for me to come back."

Nan Lichuan was driving home in his business van when he saw the woman standing at the door, and his face darkened.

The woman was probably a little uncomfortable because someone noticed that someone was staring at her. Curious, she turned her head and smiled gently when she saw who it was.

"Oh, it's Chuan. Why aren't you going in? Hurry up and go in; your father is waiting for you."

Nan Lichuan's expression changed. Hearing her speak to him in a tone that suggested she was the mistress of the house, he lost his temper.

"No matter what you've done, I will never forgive you."

Nan Lichuan left those words behind, not caring whether he was being too heartless, and went inside.

What I saw was my father's figure, who had been waiting there for a long time, and there seemed to be a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

“This is your aunt, and also Xiao Xiao’s mother. How could you speak to your aunt like that? Apologize.”

Nanshan was furious when he heard his eldest son talking about the person he liked. Moreover, his mother's marriage to Li Chuan was an accident, and there was no love involved.

This made him feel indebted to Lin Xiao's mother, and even more indebted to Lin Xiao.

Perhaps it was this feeling that made his son think he was being unfair, wondering why he treated his mother so coldly.

"Hey, you two, father and son, really. Come in and talk. What are you doing standing at the door? It feels weird to me, an outsider. I'll go see where Xiao Xiao is. You two talk."

Lin Yaqin smiled and pushed the two staring blankly into the room. She then made an excuse to go find her beloved son. He must miss his mother, having not seen her for so long.

When Lin Xiao suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance approaching him, he was so startled that his round face was filled with surprise, and he covered his pink lips with his short little hands.

"Who's here?"

Lin Yaqin believed that her beloved son felt unfamiliar with her because he hadn't seen her for so long.

So I felt inexplicably sorry for her and wanted to hold her in my arms before I left.

"Come here, it's Mommy. I'm sorry, baby, for making you wait so long. Mommy won't be working for a while, so I can spend some time with you. Be a good baby."

The woman smiled gently, opened her arms, and reached out her hands to let the little one in.

Lin Xiao shook his head, on the verge of tears. He didn't want to. He didn't want to get close to this woman because he didn't know her. He wanted his brother. He only wanted his brother.

He ran with a somewhat unsteady gait, intending to reach Nanlichuan when he was ready to go.

But she slipped and fell at Nan Lichuan's feet.

He touched his knee, looked up at his brother's suddenly cold face with a wronged expression. His brother's aloof demeanor only made him sterner.

"Wow, brother didn't catch Xiao Xiao, brother is naughty, he wants a hug."

Nan Lichuan closed his eyes, refusing to look at Lin Xiao's adorable appearance, and even took a step back. He didn't know why, even though he knew the child was innocent, he just didn't want to look at that identical face.

"Why is your mother over there, constantly bothering me? I have things to do, so be good."

The sudden change in tone startled Lin Xiao.

Is my brother angry? Why is he angry? Is it because he cried? But shouldn't children cry?

"Wow, brother, is brother angry? He's ignoring Xiao Xiao! Dad, brother's ignoring Xiao Xiao..."

Thinking that his brother might ignore him, he started to cry quietly.

Nan Lichuan seemed heartless, ignoring his brother's cries, and went straight upstairs, leaving behind a single sentence before departing.

"Call me when it's time to eat, and I'll go upstairs and finish that proposal."

Nanshan smiled helplessly; he still hadn't managed the relationships between them well.

Otherwise, these events wouldn't have caused the son's attitude towards his younger son to change again.

"Dad, does my brother hate me? Does he find me annoying? I..."

Nanshan patted Lin Xiao's head and smiled kindly at the child, saying, "Good boy, your brother doesn't dislike Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao is so cute, how could your brother dislike her?"

"Xiao Xiao, please eat well. You'll feel better once your brother finishes his work."

Nan Lichuan looked down at the documents in front of him, and the image of Xiao Xiao's tearful face came to mind again, causing his heart to tighten.

Suddenly I found him a bit ridiculous. Xiao Xiao is such a young child, why does he look at a child with that kind of thinking? He's really despicable.

The issues concerning adults and children should not be discussed together.

Thinking this to himself, Nan Lichuan realized that he might have been a little harsh with the little guy at noon today, and he felt guilty, so he decided to go to his room to check on him.

He gently pushed the door open, and looking into the small room filled with blue colors, he felt how adorable the owner was.

He glanced at the person beside the bed, whose small hand was sticking out because of rubbing against him, and couldn't help but want to put the hand back.

But then he heard the little guy mutter something and slap his hand away.

"Brother is bad, don't want Xiao Xiao..."

The low muttering had completely extinguished Nan Lichuan's anger, and he looked at the little guy tenderly.

[Ding! The romanceable character Nan Lichuan has gained +20 favorability.]

"Is brother really that bad? Brother didn't abandon Xiao Xiao."

The boy leaned down and kissed Lin Xiao's forehead, as if to reassure him and smooth out his tightly furrowed brows.

The warmth from beside her ear, and the sudden surge of positive feelings in her mind, woke Lin Xiao up, and she rubbed her eyes with her little hands.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that his brother was leaving his forehead. He was startled and touched the temperature of his forehead.

Was he being taken advantage of, or was it by his own brother?

System 009 kindly reminded: 'Host, what's wrong? Your face is so red. Should we go see someone?'

Lin Xiao tried to stretch out his little arms, but found that he couldn't use too much force. After all, he was just a child, so he could only say dejectedly.

"No, it's just that this body is too small, so small that it's inconvenient for me to move around. How am I supposed to complete the mission?"

009 turned her head away, somewhat embarrassed, avoiding the person looking at her with that small face, and stammered as she spoke.

"Um, everything will be alright soon, just bear with it. Ten years will pass quickly!"
