Passionate Devotion

Little Hottie

The next morning, on the couch in the living room, Miniature Leng Yejin ignored Shanshan’s loud chatter. He stared at the pink dress that he was wearing in defeat while changing channels with the remote controller in his hand. He wanted to watch the morning news.

Throughout the night, his mood changed so drastically. He was so angry that he no longer wished to speak.

Tong Lu walked out from the kitchen with breakfast. Soon enough, the dining table was filled with delicious food.

Shanshan ran towards her mother excitedly. “Mum, mum, where did little brother come from?”

“I don’t know either.” Tong Lu lifted her and sat her down in her chair and said, “There’s only one baby chair. Can you let little brother use it?”

Shanshan nodded happily. “Okay. Little brother is so cute. But why doesn’t he speak?”

Tong Lu walked into the living room and picked up Miniature Leng Yejin, who was sulking alone on the couch. She put him into the baby chair. “Little kid, after we have breakfast, I’ll take you to shop for some clothes. Don’t be mad, okay? Be a good boy and finish the breakfast first.”

Miniature Leng Yejin glared at her with a cold and arrogant look in his reddened eyes. He did not want to say anything at all. He was on the verge of an outburst and angry with how powerless he had become. His eyebrows were scrunched up tightly.

Shanshan quickly handed a peeled egg to Miniature Leng Yejin. “Little brother, my name is Shanshan. What’s your name? From now on, you can be my little brother. What do you say? Don’t worry, I, your big sister, will protect you.”

The crease between Leng Yejin’s eyebrows deepened. ‘... never mind. Shanshan is just a child. She’s innocent!’

“Mum, why does little brother keep ignoring me?” Shanshan felt very disappointed. ‘Is it because I’m not charismatic enough?’

“This little kid might be wary of strangers.”

Outside the mansion, after playing cards for the whole night, Long Yan wanted to use the bathroom. He hopped out of his car, ripping a stack of tiny stickers off his chin. “I’m done with the game. I want to go in and use the bathroom.”

“I’m going as well.”

“Me too.”

“Me three.”

The four of them walked into the mansion one after another.

Hearing their footsteps, Tong Lu turned towards them and spotted Ji Yiming, who was standing among the group of four. She immediately got up and said, “Dr. Ji, it’s good to see you here. Do you know where my brother-in-law is? There’s a child in the mansion. I have no idea whose child it is. I couldn’t even find some clothes that suit him.”

“Cough! Cough! What did you say?”

The three men and a woman who had just walked in shifted their gazes to her at once. There was excitement, admiration and, most of all, disbelief in their eyes.

Tong Lu could not help but feel awkward. ‘Why are they looking at me as if I’ve said something shocking?’

All she did was stumble upon a child and take care of him for a night.

To be fair, that child was really difficult to deal with.

Tong Lu pointed to Miniature Leng Yejin, who sat at the table in an aloof manner. “This is the child I’m talking about. I don’t know where he’s from. Someone just left him in the study and...”

Before she finished, the group of four turned around and ran off within a blink of an eye.

Tong Lu was puzzled.

But less than a minute later, the four people who had disappeared at the front door hurried back into the house and dashed towards the dining room.

From where they came in, they could not see Leng Yejin, because his chair was facing away from them.

But they could take their time.

Ji Yiming walked around the dining table to take a good look at him. “Pfft——”

“Pffttt——”

“Pffttt——”

“Cough-cough——”

There was a child before their eyes. He sat in a baby chair and was wearing a pink dress. His bright and ink-black eyes were filled with wrath beyond his age. ‘Is he Leng Yejin, the man whom we see as a god? Big Brother Jin?’
