“She probably went out to play.” Although Shen Yan woke up early, he didn’t see where Emily had gone. The girl probably thought that he wasn’t awake yet.

“I’ll go out and look for her,” Shen Yu said as he walked out.

​​ 

Shen Yu found Emily outside as expected. Emily was playing happily, hopping around bare-footed.

When Shen Yu saw Emily’s bare feet, his face immediately sank.

Emily saw Shen Yu walking out of the house. She happily called out to him, but she couldn’t quite figure out why he looked a little angry.

The bodyguard behind her quickly brought her shoes.

“Put them on,” Shen Yu said as he squatted down and put the shoes on for Emily.

Emily let out a sigh of relief as she realized that Shen Yu was only unhappy because she didn’t wear shoes. She was so scared that her brother did not want her anymore.

“Remember to wear your shoes in the future, okay?” Shen Yu said gently.

“I will remember it, Brother,” Emily replied obediently.

Shen Yu nodded in satisfaction when he heard Emily’s reply.

Shen Xue saw this scene just as she came out, and a fire of envy was ignited inside her. She had never seen Shen Yu treat anyone like this. A while back, when she accidentally touched Shen Yu, he took a five hour long shower! How could she not be angry and jealous seeing this?

“Brother Shen Yu…” Shen Xue ran over. Just as she was about to scold Emily going to close to Shen Yu, she saw Shen Yu giving her a warning stare and swallowed her words. She knew that she couldn’t annoy Shen Yu. It would severely push down her status in the Shen family.

“Hey Emi, are you playing?” Shen Xue turned her head and spoke to Emily with a smile.

“Yes, Sister Shen Xue. Do you want to play too?” Emily turned towards her and started smiling too. This was the first time Sister Shen Xue smiled at her.

Of course, Shen Xue didn’t actually want to play with Emily, not even a little. She only asked in order to please Shen Yu, who seemed to have taken quite a liking to the girl.

“Okay, sure.” Shen Xue had no choice but to agree.

Emily gleamed with joy, she had thought that Shen Xue found her annoying. It turned out that she was just overthinking.

Shen Yu couldn’t help but sigh when he saw Emily’s smile. This girl was really silly. She would believe anyone’s words. He wasn’t convinced that Shen Xue really wanted to play with her. But this may not be bad. Perhaps he could take the opportunity to warn Shen Xue.

Emily pointed at a puppy not far away from them and said, “Sister, let’s play with the puppy.”

Shen Xue’s face turned pale when she saw the puppy. She was very particular about cleanliness, and playing with a dirty dog which looked like it hadn’t bathed for quite a while is definitely not sanitary.

“Sister Shen Xue, what’s wrong?” Emily tilted her head and asked in confusion.

“No… Nothing…” Shen Xue tried hard to suppress the sense of nausea inside her stomach.

Emily was so happy she felt like she could fly. No children in the village were willing to play with her since her parents passed on. Now, her beautiful sister was coming to join her!

“Emi, take care of yourself when you play,” Shen Yu reminded her.

Emily nodded. She was afraid of big wolfdogs, but she wasn’t scared of puppies. In fact, she liked them very much.

Just then, several children walked over from the nearby houses. One of the little boys pointed at Emily and said, “Hey, isn’t this Emily?”

When Emily saw this group of children, she quivered slightly. In the past, these kids always bullied her.

Shen Yu noticed Emily’s subtle movements. He stepped forward to block in front of Emily.

The eyes of those children flashed with envy when they saw Shen Yu’s clothes. They had never worn or even seen such fancy clothes before, including the clothes that Emily was wearing. They looked really pretty.

The children recalled what their parents had said to them. As long as they were on good terms with Emily, they would soon have such pretty clothes to wear too. So, they quickly put on their friendliest smiles and walked towards her.

Emily thought that they were here to bully her again, so she grabbed onto Shen Yu’s sleeve tightly.

“We want to play with you.” The girl at the front looked thin and small, but her triangular eyes shined with an emotion that Emily couldn’t quite understand.

Emily looked at Shen Yu. She wanted to play with these children too.

Shen Yu patted Emily’s head and said, “Emi, if you want to play, go ahead.”

Emily’s eyes sparkled with joy. Ever since she met her brother, she had become happier and happier. Even the kids who used to bully her were now inviting her to play.

“Millie, how do you know that big brother?” One of the girls, whose name was Leia, asked curiously.

Emily scratched her head. When she thought of how they met, she also felt quite strange about it, perhaps it was what the adults call a fated encounter?

“We met at a roadside alley,” Emily said honestly.

The children did not believe Emily. How could someone possibly be adopted from the roadside?

One of them asked, “Emi, Emi, your clothes are really pretty. Did this brother buy them for you?”

Hearing this, Emily shook her head, “No, Grandpa bought them for me.”
