Upon hearing this, Song Yuanxi immediately smiled.

There was something different about her smile—it was candid, and carried a certain honesty.

Her delicate body did not completely hide her obstinate and stubborn personality. She said, “Brother Liangchuan, I will not leave with you.”

Shen Liangchuan frowned.

They continued to look at each other in the eye.

In the past, Song Yuanxi had always been afraid of him and would always obey him.

But now, there was a certain defiance about her, even if there was still a hint of that old fear in her eyes which she stubbornly tried to conceal.

In the end, Shen Liangchuan sighed and took the seat opposite her.

Following his lead, the girl sat down and asked, “Brother Liangchuan, what would you like to drink?”

Before he could speak, she had already raised her hand and signaled to the waitress. “A cup of latte, thanks.”

She had lived with him for eight years, she knew by heart his taste for coffee.

He looked at her and asked, “Where have you been putting up?”

Song Yuanxi smiled again at the question. “Brother Liangchuan, is that you worrying about me?”

Shen Liangchuan nodded and said, “Yes.”

She replied, “You care about me because you worry about not being able to fulfill my brother’s wish?”

He fell silent for a moment and then nodded again.

Song Yuanxi laughed and said, “You don’t need to worry anymore. You’ve taken care of me for eight years and I’m grown up now. You can’t be minding me forever. You’ve already fulfilled your promise to my brother.”

Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened.

Before he passed away, his last request had been for Shen Liangchuan to take care of his little sister.

Instead of doing that, he had driven Song Yuanxi to the edge of sanity.

The truth was that he did harbor guilty feelings.

He furrowed his brow and continued questioning her. “Don’t change the topic. Tell me, where are you staying now?”

“At a friend’s place.”

“Which friend?”
