Chapter 542: Seeing the Essence Through Phenomena

"Guo Jiajia?" Yue Guohuai asked Ling Chao, "Whose child is this?"

Yue Guohuai had some impression of the children in the courtyard, but he really didn't know who Guo Jiajia was.

"The child of a new family just moved in, and he happens to be in the same class as Guoguo."

"I've seen that little girl a few times. She's very rude, and the other kids in her class don't like her either."

"If you don't like any of them, then that's the child's problem."

Yue Guohuai looked at Yaya: "Unlike our Yaya, at that time both teachers and children liked her."

"Guoguo, do you think you are fat?" Yaya held Guoguo in her arms and sat on her lap.

Guoguo looked down at herself and replied firmly, "I'm not fat. My sister said I'm stocky, and I think being stocky is a compliment."

"Yes, being sturdy is a compliment. I think you are very healthy."

"I know what healthy means. I know my sister is praising me." Guoguo rubbed Yaya's face.

"Guoguo, you think you are not fat, so what others say is their business, right? We can't shut others up and stop them from speaking. What we can do is not listen to the child's unpleasant words."

"I don't care if Guo Jiajia thinks I'm fat or not. I don't eat their food, so why should she be so nosy."

Guoguo looked at Yaya: "Guoguo is concerned about whether sister will think I'm fat. I'm afraid that if I'm fat, sister won't be able to hold me."

"How come elder sister can't hold Guoguo? Guoguo really underestimates elder sister."

Guoguo lifted up Yaya's arm and said, "Sister's arm is so thin, Guoguo is afraid that she will break it."

Yaya didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister is not a porcelain doll."

When she was a child, her family was always afraid of hurting her. Unexpectedly, now that she has grown up, her younger brothers and sisters have started to worry again.

She really didn't know what to say, it only showed that her family loved her very much.

"Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Before Yaya could answer, Huo Jiusi replied, "No."

"Brother Jiusi, why are you speaking for my sister again? Are you my sister? You are not my sister, how can you represent my sister's opinion?"

"You are too domineering. Domineering boys are not cute. Be careful that I won't like you. I tell you, we girls all like gentle boys."

Guoguo's outburst made Huo Jiusi's face darken, while Yue Guohuai and Ling Chao both laughed out loud.

"Guoguo, you are a little smart kid. How old are you and you know whether you like it or not? Do you know what like is, huh?" Yue Guohuai teased Guoguo.

Guo Guo straightened his chest and said, "Grandpa Yue, of course I know. For example, I like eating apples, so I like apples. I like watching cartoons, so I like cartoons."

"I want to be with my sister, so I like my sister."

"Brother Jiusi is always with sister, they like each other."

"It's just that Brother Jiusi is too domineering. He glares at me, so I don't like him. But if he gives me delicious food and toys, I will like him again."

Ling Chao concluded: "After all this talk, you just want Jiusi to give you delicious food and toys."

"If brother Jiusi doesn't give it to me, sister will give it to me." Guoguo hugged Yaya's arm and shook her: "Isn't that right, sister?"

"Yes, I've bought them for you."

Yaya took out the gifts for Guoguo, which included not only snacks and toys but also a beautiful skirt.

"Guo Guo, there's also this."

Yaya took out another music box, which she picked specially for Guoguo.

The last time she came back, she gave Guoguo a music box, the kind that would make a little figure dance when you put it in the middle. Guoguo liked it very much. This time she went back and picked out a crystal ball music box for Guoguo.

“Wow, I love this.”

Guoguo hugged the music box and quickly determined that the knob at the bottom could make the music box sound.

"This is so fun, thank you sister." Guoguo kissed Yaya on the face.

Huo Jiusi said at the side: "Now that you have received the gift, you are not allowed to sleep with your sister at night."

"No, I want to sleep with my sister at night." As she said that, Guoguo made a face at Huo Jiusi.

Among these brothers and sisters, although Guoguo is a girl, she is the most powerful. As long as she dares to go against Huo Jiusi, she is not afraid no matter whether Huo Jiusi has a cold face or a gloomy face.

She also saw through Huo Jiusi's true nature and whispered to Yaya, "Sister, Brother Jiusi is just a paper tiger. He may look intimidating, but he won't hurt anyone."

Yaya gave Guoguo a thumbs up, marveling at the fact that she could see the essence through phenomena at such a young age.

Huo Jiusi looked at Yaya, intending to ask her what she meant and let her speak.

Yaya thought about it and nodded: "Guoguo, sleep with me tonight."

Guoguo was very happy: "Yeah yeah yeah, I'll sleep with my sister tonight."

Guoguo kept sticking to Yaya, watching cartoons with her, asking Yaya to tell her stories, and playing with dolls with her for a while.

No matter what the two of them do, Huo Jiusi will be by their side.

Sometimes when he looked at the two of them together, he would think it would be nice to have a daughter in the future.

But this idea was quickly dismissed, because childbirth has a huge impact on women's bodies and he didn't want Yaya to suffer that.

Although he is only twenty years old physically, he is at least thirty years old mentally. He knows exactly what he wants and is convinced that Yaya is the love of his life.

In case he has to separate from Yaya for some reason in the future, he also hopes that Yaya will be well.

He didn't think he had to have a child. As for the Norn family, they were competing for this position now. After he had done some things and could guarantee the safety of him and Yaya in the future, whoever was willing to be the earl could do it. He didn't care at all.

They still regard this position as a treasure, thinking that sitting in this position gives them supreme power and they can do whatever they want.

In fact, this position is a cage. People sitting on it cannot do whatever they want. Instead, they will become slaves of the Norn family.

The reason why he agreed to become the earl was that no matter whether he agreed or not, those people would not let him go. In this case, if he agreed, there would still be a chance of turning things around.

He can protect himself and his family, and he can also eliminate those people. Even if he cannot eliminate them, he will make them lose the ability to harm them.

Yaya slept with Guoguo, and Huo Jiusi slept in another room.

After coaxing Guoguo to sleep, Yaya quietly went to the next room holding a pillow.

The door could be opened, but she thought Huo Jiusi would be waiting for her, but she didn't expect that he had already fallen asleep.

However, her first reaction was not why Huo Jiusi didn't wait for her, whether he did it on purpose, but whether this workaholic stopped working and went to sleep, and whether he was feeling unwell.
