“Th-Third Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?” Huo Tianlin swallowed nervously.

He felt like his third uncle’s gaze could practically eat him alive!

“Huo Xiao San, you’re not allowed to have any meat tonight,” Huo Tingyan said coldly, his tone merciless.

Huo Tianlin’s eyes widened in shock — he nearly jumped up in protest. “Why?!”

“Why?” Huo Tingyan let out a cold laugh. His words were as sharp as knives.

“You’re the older brother, yet you can’t even protect your own little sister. I feel embarrassed for you.”

Huo Tianlin lowered his head in shame, feeling utterly humiliated.

It was all his fault — he was too useless to protect his sister.

Clenching his fists, Huo Tianlin resolved to eat two extra bowls of rice tonight. He had to grow up quickly so he could take revenge on Si Yang.

Damn Si Yang — just you wait!

“Brother, don’t be sad. Luoluo will share my meat with you,” the little girl leaned close to his ear and whispered secretly.

Huo Tianlin’s eyes lit up immediately. “Really?”

To this little rascal, a meal without meat was torture. He’d rather be hung from a tree by Third Uncle than go without meat.

“Mhm mhm.” Su Luo guiltily turned her head to check if Dad had noticed. When she saw he hadn’t, she let out a relieved sigh.

Brother had given her his drumstick before, so now she wanted to be good to him too.

Though still very young, the little girl had a grateful heart.

The director at the orphanage had told her: A drop of kindness should be repaid with a fountain of gratitude.

“Wahhh, Luoluo, you’re the best! Brother likes you the most!” Huo Tianlin grinned from ear to ear, overjoyed like an excited puppy.

“Luoluo likes Brother the most too.” Su Luo showed a sweet smile, her clear, big eyes sparkling like a beautiful little angel.

Huo Tianlin’s face turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye, blushing like a cooked prawn from head to toe.

“Hehehe…” Huo Tianlin grinned foolishly like a 200-pound puppy.

His sister had just said she liked him the most!

He was her favorite person!

Huo Tianlin was so excited he almost did a backflip on the spot.

The two little ones pressed their heads together, whispering secrets to each other, completely unaware that a third person heard every word.

The face of a certain CEO instantly darkened.

This little liar! She had clearly said before that she liked Daddy the most — how long had it been since then, and now she’d changed her heart?

A cold pressure radiated from Huo Tingyan. His thin lips were pressed into a tight line.

His mood was absolutely terrible.

But Su Luo didn’t notice anything at all — her entire world was filled with her brother.

“Ahem…” Third Master Huo let out a low cough, trying to draw attention.

“Daddy, are you sick?” Su Luo’s little ears twitched when she heard the sound. She turned her head immediately, looking at him worriedly.

“No.” Huo Tingyan’s expression remained blank, his tense face clearly showing his displeasure.

“Oh.” The little girl nodded. Hearing it was nothing, she quickly turned back again, urging her brother to continue.

Huo Tianlin animatedly bragged about his heroic deeds. Seeing his sister’s worshipful gaze, his vanity inflated to the max!

Third Master Huo’s face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. His eyes fixed coldly on that brat — the more he looked, the more of an eyesore he became. He wanted to kick him out on the spot.

Seeing the two kids glued together so affectionately, Huo Tingyan felt very sour inside.

She used to cling to Daddy all the time, but now that she had a brother, she didn’t want him anymore.

Before, if he so much as coughed, the little girl would run to his side, fussing over him with concern.

And now…

Huo Tingyan’s face remained stiff and tight, the air pressure around him dropping lower and lower.
