He glanced at the half-opened door and rushed inside. A relieved sigh escaped his mouth when he saw the little girl standing near the window. He walked towards her and carried her up in his arms. ''Were you scared…? Why did you co here?''
''To play…'' Little Han i said as she dangled her little arms around his neck, ''Soone…here…'' She whispered.
''There is no one here…'' Han Jian Yu replied after looking around the empty room, ''You are not coming here again,'' he sternly said as he walked out while carrying her in his arms.
Little Han i pouted but sensing that her elder brother was really angry at her, she obediently nodded.
''Good girl,'' Han Jian Yu smiled at her.
''Co here again,'' Han i quickly said as she smiled, showing her two little pearly teeth and round eyes.
Han Jian Yu poked her chubby cheeks, ''No…''
''Young Miss should not go there anymore,'' Han Sheng said as they walked downstairs, ''You did well,'' He said to Han Jian Yu.
Han i ignored him as she played with the buttons of Han Jian Yu's shirt.
"Put her down,'' Han Liyun said.
''No…'' Han i quickly wrapped her arms around Han Jian Yu's neck.
''I am your elder brother. You should listen to ,'' Han Liyun stepped towards them.
''No ugly bwothers, plweaseee~'' Han i shook her pigtails quickly before she grabbed Han Jian Yu's head with one of her hands on top of his head and the other below his chin, ''My bwother…'' She planted a kiss on his cheek.
Han Liyun fud. This devil called him ugly? He stomped his feet before leaving.
Han Sheng's face darkened.
Han Jian Yu noticed everyone's expression, ''I will leave Young Miss in her room,'' He said before leaving.
After tucking her in her bed and making sure that she was asleep, Han Jian Yu walked out. Her parents will be back soon. His footsteps ca to a halt as he felt sothing poking his neck.
He extended his hand and took out the thing which was stuck to the collar of his shirt. It was her little pink butterfly hairclip…. Did she put it there when he was carrying her?
Then she would be looking for it tomorrow. He turned around and walked back to the hallway which was leading to her room but from the corner of his eyes, he saw sothing and turned around.
He glanced at the woman's back who was descending the stairs.
That woman… Isn't she her nanny? What was she doing here…? Before he could contemplate further, he saw her turning to the left.
Han Jian Yu's gaze landed on the child in her arms and his eyes widened.
''Stop there…'' He shouted but she started running when she heard his voice.
Han Jian Yu followed after her but the woman was already at the entrance by the ti he went down.
He picked up a flower vase and aid it at her head but just as he was about to throw it, he changed his mind and aid it at her leg instead. She was holding Han i and he did not want to hurt her accidentally.
He threw it lightly enough such that she would not fall but her steps faltered and he ran to her faster as he took out a small dagger from his waistband.
But just as he was about to reach her, the woman started running again and she was faster this ti. It was as if she was betting her life on this.
She shifted the child up to her shoulder.
Since Han i was tightly wrapped in a black cloth, he could only see her face near the woman's neck. She was still sleeping.
The woman ran all the way out of the mansion and for so reason, he could not see a single guard all around.
Han Jian Yu gritted his teeth when she rushed towards the highway all of a sudden. He aid his knife at her leg and it slashed past her knees from the side. His strength was not enough to make her fall but it was enough to make her stumble.
At that small mont, he rushed towards her but the woman suddenly jumped in front of a speeding truck.
His eyes widened, ''i…''
*Flashback ends*
''I don't rember what happened after that. I rushed there as faster as I could and I managed to snatch you from her but the truck had already approached us by that ti…'' Han Jian Yu seed to be recalling that old mory.
''How could you not know?" Yu i was confused and she glanced at him.
''When we woke up, we were no longer there and I did not rember anything. I was injured and you were with ,'' Since he did not have his mories, he never thought why would he wake up with Han i in the underground sewers of Amaranthine but it was a question that went on his mind ever since he regained his mories.
Yu i and Jun Zixuan exchanged glances and they could see the sa thoughts in each other's eyes.
Han Jian Yu sighed before he glanced at Yu i, ''It's not that I did not want to tell you the truth. I was afraid that things won't work out in my favor. I was montarily selfish and wanted to keep you away from your family just so I could be your brother forever,'' He stood up from the arm of the couch as he confessed his feelings about the matter, ''All this ti, I have not been ignoring you on purpose but I felt guilty about what I was doing and it was difficult to face you. But now, no matter what you decide, I will back you up.''
She hugged him before shaking her head, ''You don't need to feel guilty. In fact, I am sorry.. I was being unreasonable all this ti and I never thought that you should have your reasons as well," she whispered.
