Chapter 370 - I Will Avenge You (1/2)
Han Suyin walked towards a cradle as she picked the little girl from inside.
Han Jian Yu felt the grip of the little fingers loosening on his index finger and he carefully removed the girl's hand from his.
''She can be your little sister,'' Han Suyin turned the girl's face towards him.
Han Jian Yu looked at the girl who was like a sunflower, smiling and giggling to herself as she looked at him, ''Is she your daughter?” Although he knew it but it was a guess so he decided to confirm it.
''Yes,'' Han Suyin replied as she continued, ''She is Han Mei.''
''Mei,'' Han Jian Yu said before nodding, ''Suits her. She is delicate and beautiful like her name. And she even needs me to protect her. How weak...!'' He stopped mumbling, realizing that the person he was complaining to was the girl's mother.
Han Suyin burst into laughter, instead of being offended, ''You can make her strong and teach her things. I will give that responsibility to you.''
Han Jian Yu seemed to be deep in thoughts as he contemplated over it, ''Will do,'' He reluctantly said as he glanced at the bright smile on the baby girl's face. The faster he taught her things and made her independent, the more chance will be there for him to escape this babysitting job.
He rubbed his palms together, hoping that she can grow up in a few days so that he can set her up for some hellish training.
As if feeling his intentions and burning gaze on her, Little Han Mei shrunk back as she buried her face in her mother's neck before wailing loudly.
Han Suyin was left somewhere between laughter and tears as she noticed the exchange between the pair.
''She is perceptive. I was testing her perception skills,'' Han Jian Yu stiffly said, suppressing his urge to glare at the little girl. How loud and exaggerating was she!
Han Suyin awkwardly nodded, ''Uhh... she is a naughty girl,'' She said to Han Mei, ''Little Mei, should you not greet Brother Jian Yu?”
Han Mei finally stopped wailing as she hiccupped before looking at the boy.
Han Jian Yu did not know if it was his illusion but he felt like she smiled. It was a mocking smile. This little brat-
The plan was simple. To make her independent and strong and leave the Han Family.
But Han Jian Yu's simple plan was filled with obstacles as the little girl was not as simple as she seemed.
The naughtier she was, the colder he became but she was a clingy kid, barely letting him go at any given time.
Han Mei liked this cold elder brother of hers and the first word that she learned to speak was 'Brother'.
The Han Family members were all stunned but everyone was happy at their Little Princess' achievement. They were more pleased that these two kids were getting along well.
But unaware to them, that night, Han Jian Yu was locked in a room and beaten up for the whole night by a few servants, ''What did I tell you? You are a servant. You have to serve her, be her guard and be her loyal dog. Not her elder brother,'' Han Sheng slapped him before he turned around to leave.
