"Brother, have a taste."

Gu Lianzhou lowered his eyes and ate a few bites of food without any expression.

Suddenly, I found it hard to swallow.

The food was delicious.

It was so delicious that... he almost immediately pictured her little girl circling around the stove in his mind.

So young, and already supporting themselves...

He pursed his lips, and his aura suddenly turned cold and hard.

Put down your chopsticks.

"From now on, leave such tasks to the servants."

“You are now the eldest daughter of the Shen family, you don’t need to do these things yourself.” He looked up at her, his tone serious, “No one is worth you doing this.”

He took her hand and examined her palm carefully.

His thick eyebrows were furrowed.

Shen Zhiyi let him examine her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“My brother didn’t kick me out yesterday, and I want to do something for him too…”

She turned her head and looked around.

“My brother came to work so early, he must be very tired. I can’t just stay at home and do nothing.”

Gu Lianzhou released her hand.

Would you like to come work here?

Shen Zhiyi nodded and then shook her head.

"I'm so stupid, I'll never be able to do anything right."

"It's better to leave the company to my brother to manage so that there won't be any problems."

“But…” She glanced at him quickly, then lowered her eyelashes, blushing as she said, “I want to stay by my brother’s side.”

"I get so bored at home all by myself while you're at work."

"I can only think of you."

"Waiting anxiously for you to come back..."

Gu Lianzhou stared at her reddened earlobes, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

All I can do is... think of him?

Is it the effect of the medicine, or is it from the heart?

His deep, dark eyes enveloped her, as if trying to discern something from her innocent face.

He didn't even know which answer would satisfy him.

Shen Zhiyi raised her hand and pointed to the empty space next to his desk, "If only you could put a table there so I could follow you around all the time, that would be great."

"Of course, I know it's a bit childish of me to think like this."

"I just don't know why, but my heart races whenever I leave my brother."

She lowered her head, carefully reached out, and pinched his sleeve.

"I...I want to be able to see my brother anytime..."

Gu Lianzhou almost held his breath.

Last night, her fragrance and warmth appeared almost instantly, permeating every pore.

Looking at her gentle and obedient face, a desire rose uncontrollably in his heart.

He wanted to keep her by his side for the rest of his life.

I will always be her brother, protecting her and taking care of her.

Perhaps... it's not impossible.
