Chapter 7
Sui Yan couldn't hold back anymore. She jumped down from the sofa and ran towards Sui Zhi, her feet pattering.
Sui Zhi was faster. He squatted down and hugged the little girl. "Sui Yan, did you miss your big brother?"
"I did!"
Sui Yan hugged Sui Zhi back. After a while, she complained with grievance, "Big brother, you didn't even call me."
Sui Zhi was taken aback. He tried hard to remember these things. He realized that because he didn't want to face Liu Chang, he didn't like Sui Yan at that time either. Of course he wouldn't take the initiative to call a little sister he didn't like.
Sui Zhi felt very guilty now. He consoled his sister clumsily, "Sui Yan, I'm sorry, big brother was wrong. I definitely won't do that again in the future, okay?"
The little girl was very easy to coax. "Okay! Then Sui Yan won't blame big brother anymore."
Sui Zhi's eyes softened. His voice was gentle, "Then thank you, Sui Yan."
"Sui Yan." Sui Yu's voice carried unrestrained tremors. He squatted down to look at Sui Yan at eye level.
Sui Yan blinked and walked over to hug him too, "Big brother!"
Ye Anning watched this scene and unconsciously frowned. Last time... it wasn't like this.
Could it be...
She thought of Ti Zi's abnormal behavior earlier. All of this made her feel a little nervous and scared.
Ye Anning looked at Sui Yan. She didn't dare imagine what would happen if Sui Yan knew about the things in their previous life.
Just as her thoughts wandered, she saw Sui Yan pulling one person in each hand, leading Sui Yu and Sui Zhi to the sofa.
Despite her small size, she solemnly took out her little backpack.
Ye Anning gently asked, "What does Sui Yan have in her bag?"
Sui Yan opened the little backpack, revealing the candy inside. She wanted to give her treasures to her big brothers and big sister. "Big brother, this is the candy Sui Yan brought for you! And big sister too!"
Sui Yu's eyes turned red. He tried his best to make himself look normal. "Thank you, Sui Yan, but big brother forgot to bring you a gift. What should we do?"
Sui Yan smiled sweetly. "It's okay! Big brother didn't know Sui Yan was coming."
The more sensible she was, the more distressed Sui Yu and Sui Zhi felt. Just thinking about how this cute, well-behaved little girl was forced by them step by step into that state, forced to the point that she had no choice but to die, they almost suffocated.
Ye Anning really couldn't stand it anymore. She said, "Sui Yan, shall big sister take your brothers to get you something to eat?"
Sui Yan looked at her blankly but obediently nodded. "Okay!"
Although Sui Yu and Sui Zhi didn't really want to leave, after thinking about it, they also thought of a certain possibility.
Sui Yu hugged the little girl on the sofa and gave her a cute pillow. He gently rubbed the little girl's head, his voice extremely gentle, "Sui Yan, be good and wait for your big brother here, okay?"
Sui Yan hugged the pillow tightly. She looked very serious. "Okay, don't worry big brother!"
Ye Anning looked at her and couldn't help smiling lightly. The cold voice next to her rang out, "Let's go."
Ye Anning looked towards Sui Yu who had spoken. Her gaze was no longer as gentle. Her attitude was also quite cold. "Okay."
She led the way without another word. She didn't go far, just stopped at the corner of the stairs.
Sui Yu and Sui Zhi had almost confirmed their guesses. Sui Zhi asked, "What do you want to say?"
Ye Anning raised her eyes coldly to look at them. "Although I hurt Sui Yan too before, I don't deserve to say this now. But I still want to say that I will protect her well this time."
Sui Zhi frowned. "You too..."
Sui Yu put his hand on his shoulder to stop him from continuing. Sui Yu also said seriously, "In that case, none of us have the right to manage others. We won't make the same mistake again either." He took a deep breath. "I will protect her well and won't let her become like last time again."
Ye Anning pressed her lips together. "That would be best. I hope you can keep your word." She suddenly remembered Ti Zi and kindly reminded them, "Right, that wolf cub should be the same as us."
Sui Zhi was stunned. "It was probably the only one who cared about Sui Yan and stayed by Sui Yan's side at that time."
Sui Yu pressed his eyebrow. "That's probably a bit troublesome. We have to indulge it but also be guarded by it."
Ye Anning lowered her eyes. "It's our own doing."
Sui Zhi didn't dwell on this at all. He was quite happy. "Don't think too much about it. Isn't it very good now?"
Thinking of this, Ye Anning also smiled lightly. She went upstairs without looking back. "Then let's leave it at that. There's no need to say anything more."
Sui Zhi called out to her instinctively, "Where are you going?"
Ye Anning looked back at the two of them. "To get something tasty for Sui Yan."
Sui Yu and Sui Zhi were both stunned for a moment, then followed after her at the same time.
Downstairs, a certain little girl...
Sui Yan put the pillow aside and laboriously hugged Ti Zi. Her chubby fingers gently poked Ti Zi's head. She said in a small voice, "Ti Zi, why do you look uncomfortable?"
Not only was Ti Zi uncomfortable, it was also very desperate.
It closed its eyes helplessly. Forget it, these people don't seem to want to hurt Sui Yan for the time being. It could only keep an eye on things for now.
Sui Jinhong poked his head out from the kitchen. Seeing only his little daughter sitting alone in the living room, he yelled, "Sui Yan, how come you're alone?"
Sui Yan looked over blankly and remembered to reply after a while, "Dad, big brothers and big sister said they went to get something tasty for me."
Sui Jinhong wasn't as easy to fool as Sui Yan. He walked out with a frown. "Where did they go?" It doesn't take three people to get something to eat!
Sui Yan still foolishly pointed the way. "Big brothers and big sister went upstairs."
Sui Jinhong immediately strode upstairs. Halfway there, he saw his two sons and eldest daughter each carrying a pile of snacks coming down.
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked solemnly again, "How could you leave your little sister alone downstairs?"
Ye Anning admitted her mistake first. "Dad, we were just too happy and wanted to get more tasty things for Sui Yan."
Sui Yu and Sui Zhi also nodded in agreement. "That's right."
Sui Jinhong didn't ask any further. He only decided to pay more attention to the children.
Ye Anning put all the snacks in her arms on the coffee table, then went over and held Sui Yan's hand. The little girl's small hand was soft and Ye Anning felt a little addicted touching it.
Sui Zhi was a little jealous. He shoved Ye Anning away and hugged his sister. "Sui Yan, do you like your big brother?"
Sui Yan was holding a pile of snacks in her arms. Her big eyes were narrowed in satisfaction. She gave Sui Zhi a loud kiss. "I like you! Big brother is the best!"
Sui Yu was even more jealous. "What about me, Sui Yan?"
Sui Yan snuggled up to him and kissed his face too. "Eldest brother is also good!"
Ye Anning squeezed back in. "Sui Yan! And big sister too!"
Sui Yan obediently kissed her again. "Big sister is super good!"
Ti Zi on the side had a disillusioned look. Hmph! It's all good now, who knows what will happen later!
