“What should we do…”

Shen Nan stood rooted to the ground. The butler sighed and felt a little helpless.

“Sixth Young Master, you’d better explain yourself to the Old Master when he comes back.”

The butler shook his head, sighed, and left.

Shen Nan’s legs suddenly gave in and he collapsed on the ground. He could already imagine what kind of a thunderstorm he’d be facing when he got home later.

Shen Xue’s face paled as well. She did not expect things to turn out like this.

“Brother, you’re too impulsive.”

Just as they walked out of the door, Emily let go of Shen Yu’s hand and said, her voice sinking lower than usual.

“Me leaving the old house has nothing to do with you. Don’t think too much about it.”

Shen Yu reached out and rubbed Emily’s hair.

Emily bit her lips lightly. How could it have nothing to do with her? These things clearly happened because Brother Shen Nan didn’t like her.

Shen Yu looked at Emily’s conflicted look and did not know how to explain this matter. All he could do was to pull Emily into the car.

Not long after, Shen Yu brought Emily out of the car. Emily looked at the apartment in front of her and looked at Shen Yu with a puzzled expression.

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you home.”

Emily got even more confused. However, she knew that Shen Yu would never harm her, so she just followed.

As she looked at the interior of the house, her bewilderment only grew. Especially when she saw the dark-themed design of the house. All she saw was either black or gray. If not for the white furniture, Emily would feel like she had entered some shady place.

“Let’s go. What do you want to eat? I’ll order takeout for you,” Shen Yu said softly as he tugged on Emily’s hand. They then sat on the sofa.

“Brother, let’s go back. Otherwise, Grandpa will be worried.”

Emily looked at Shen Yu nervously.

“Don’t worry. The driver who sent us here just now is from the old residence. Grandpa knows our whereabouts. He won’t be worried,” Shen Yu explained. He seemed to be in a good mood, which was very rare.

“But…”

“Don’t think too much about it. It’s not your fault. I want to bring you back. If the Shen family doesn’t like you, I’ll bring you back,” Shen Yu interrupted Emily.

Emily widened her eyes and looked at Shen Yu, puzzled. Shen Yu really did not need to do this. What did Emi do to deserve someone who was so good to her?

“Brother, actually you don’t have to…”

Emily’s voice was a little choked up. She couldn’t bring herself to tell Shen Yu that there was no need to care for her. She couldn’t bear the thought of parting with him.

But she also didn’t want Shen Yu to fall out with the Shen family because of her. If that happened, she would have committed a great sin.

“Emi, I said that I won’t leave you behind. Don’t worry. I have my own plans in doing so. I will bring you back in a few days,” Shen Yu comforted Emily seeing that she was clearly feeling guilty.

If the Shen family had seen Shen Yu talking, they would probably be in shock again. When had Shen Yu ever explained anything to anyone?

Emily was even more puzzled. Why couldn’t she understand what Shen Yu was saying?

Regardless, she smiled and nodded. No matter what Shen Yu wanted to do, she knew that Shen Yu wouldn’t harm her. Since Shen Yu already said that he would bring her back in a few days, then she would stop worrying about it.

“Alright, not upset anymore? What do you want to eat? I’ll order takeout for you?”

Shen Yu saw that Emily was finally smiling, and the haze that shrouded his heart faded a little.

“Hmm…” Emily thought for a moment. “I want to eat fried chicken and hamburgers.”

“No, those things are not nutritious at all.” Shen Yu refused without even thinking.

“But, but, I’ve never eaten it before. In the past, I heard the children in the village boast about how fried chicken and hamburgers were the best foods in the world,” Emily said hesitantly.

Fast food had just become popular back then. When Emily was in the village, other children would mock her for having never tasted it before and deliberately brag about how delicious it was before her. At that time, she couldn’t help but feel envious each time they talked about it.

But she knew very well that she couldn’t afford to eat either of those foods, so she could only pretend that she didn’t care at all.

However, she really was envious.

Now that she finally had the chance, she had to try it.

Shen Yu wanted to say no, but when he saw Emily’s eyes sparkling with joy and anticipation, he couldn’t bring himself to reject her.

“We’ll eat it once, and once only.”

Shen Yu sighed and ordered fried chicken and burgers for Emily.

Emily let go of Shen Yu’s arm and said happily, “I knew my brother is the best to me.”
