The tiny Helian Si stood at the door of Helian Ci's room, tiptoeing.

With her rosy cheeks, she cautiously approached the carved wooden door, peeking through the narrow crack with her blinking eyes.

Let Sisi peek in secretly, is Second Brother here? Has Second Brother returned?

Yue'er was watching from the other side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. No matter how she looked at it, she thought the little princess was really adorable. How could she be so lovable?

Behind the carved wooden door sat Helian Ci in a wheelchair, his face deathly pale, his exceptionally red lips slightly pursed, his dark eyes as deep as a still pool.

Through the crack in the door, I could see the little girl's pink face pressed against the carved wooden door, and a hint of a smile involuntarily crept into her eyes.

He raised his hand, his pale fingers gently knocking on the carved wooden door, producing a soft "thump, thump, thump" sound.

There was no other way; if he opened the door now, that coward would definitely fall flat on his face.

Helian Mou Sisi, who was secretly peeking through the carved wooden door with his little face pressed against it,

Startled by the sudden sound, the little girl, with her tiny toes, was so frightened that she kept backing away.

On her rosy little face, her grape-like, watery eyes widened slightly, and she looked utterly startled!

What the heck is going on?!

"Crunch."

The door was opened from the inside, and Helian Ci's sickly pale face came into the little girl's view. The little girl's curled eyelashes fluttered.

Oh my? It's the Second Prince from Daming Lake!

The little girl's face, which had been frightened, suddenly broke into a bright smile, her two little tiger teeth pointing out, making her look incredibly cute.

The little one, oblivious to everything, ran to Helian Ci in a few quick steps and threw himself into his arms.

"Second brother, waaaah, you're back! I'm so sorry, waaaah! I shouldn't have forgotten you at the wicked empress's banquet, waaaah! I was so wrong, waaaah!"

The little girl was wearing a light green gauze dress, and at that moment, she was a soft, delicate bundle, nestled in Helian Ci's arms.

The little voice was soft and sweet, and when Helian Ci heard it, his heart felt warm and comforted. His pale, sickly face softened, and his features became gentle.

His dark eyes fell on the little girl's sobbing back. He raised his hand and gently stroked her back, his slightly hoarse voice a little awkward but gentle.

"Brother, you're alright. Don't cry, okay?"

For some reason, the Second Prince's words by the Daming Lake gave this little Sisi goosebumps.

It's like, I suddenly have this feeling of being the domineering CEO's pampered little wife, emmm...

Ah, no, this page is set in ancient times! So, that's the domineering prince's beloved princess!

Hmm~

Suddenly it feels so Mary Sue-ish~

As Helian Si thought this, his fluffy little head lifted up from Helian Ci's arms, and there wasn't a trace of tears on his pink little face.

Helian Ci was stunned for a moment, then a hint of amusement flashed through his mind. What a coward...

Oh well, what can I do? This little coward is my little princess, so I can only spoil her and indulge her.

At this moment, Helian Mou Sisi's fluffy little head was filled with pink Mary Sue bubbles. By the time he came to his senses...

Only then did she realize that her second brother, the prince, was staring at her little face by the Daming Lake. The little girl froze.

All the pink Mary Sue fantasies were gone, and she weakly and guiltyly tried to defend herself in a low voice.
