Chapter 651 - - Protect Yourself

Miaomiao liked shiny things at her age.

She had no idea about expensive jewelry.

However, she was very happy to see beautiful things.

Gu Yi took the hair clip and put it on her hair, “Do you like it?”

“Wow! It’s beautiful.”

Miaomiao happily raised her fingers to touch the hair clip.

However, Shao Tianze frowned while watching the monitoring screen.

The bodyguard responsible for looking after Gu Yi said, “Young master went to the mall yesterday and favored this thing. He said it was suitable for Miss Miaomiao and bought it.”

“He’s considerate.” Shao Tianze commented.

He said that Yi was considerate, but, in his heart, he thought his son thought too much and did too much.

He believed that Yi should be estranged from Miaomiao.

Only when they were estranged, Miaomiao would doubt Gu Yi’s words and would not trust Gu Yi.

As he was thinking, Shao Tianze pursed his lips and said to the nurse near him, “Any call from Yuncheng today?”

Hearing Shao Tianze’s question, the nurse quickly said, “Miss Shao Xue has called.”

Hearing the nurse’s words, Shao Tianze frowned and asked, “Shao Xue called?”

“Yes.”

“Did Yi answer the phone?”

“Mr. Shao, according to your order, he did not answer the phone.”

The nurse answered with deference.

Shao Tianze thought for a little, rubbed his brows, and said, “I will go back to Yuncheng tomorrow morning. Make preparation.”

“Yes.”

The bodyguard and the nurse left the monitoring room after hearing Shao Tianze’s words.

After they left, Shao Tianze looked at his son and daughter on the screen and squinted.

His son and daughter had indeed bothered him a lot.

He shouldn’t have taken so much trouble.

However, his son was too smart and knew too much.

As he was thinking, Shao Tianze retrieved his gaze from Gu Yi and Miaomiao. He began to wander. Gu Changge suddenly occurred to him for no reason.

At the same time, in Miaomiao’s room, Miaomiao was fond of the small gift from her brother.

Gu Yi watched that Miaomiao took off the hair clip, held it in her hand, and looked at it with pleasure and surprise.

Gu Yi raised his head slightly and scanned the room.

He didn’t see anything suspicious, but he was sure that there must be video surveillance equipment in this room.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used this little thing to convey information to Miaomiao.

Miaomiao sat on the bed, looking at the hair clip in her palm. Then, she looked up at her brother with a smile and asked, “Why didn’t you give me this in the daytime?”

Gu Yi said, “Because we went out to play during the day. The gift was at home. I could not give it to you.”

Miaomiao accepted this explanation. Then, she put the hair clip on her brother’s hair and grinned, “You look great wearing this, too.”

Gu Yi laughed, “Don’t make fun of me. It is for girls. You look good on it.”

Hearing her brother’s words, Miaomiao felt pleased.

She asked Gu Yi in a low voice, “Brother, do you have anything to tell me?”

Gu Yi was a little stunned by Miaomiao’s question. He didn’t expect that his naive sister could sense it.

“Yes.”

“No good timing?”

“Yes.”

They spoke in a very low voice.

Only by being close to each other’s faces could they hear it clearly.

Miaomiao frowned, “Do you want me to alienate Aunt Changle, brother?”

Gu Yi was surprised, “You…”

How could his sister know that he wanted to say this?

Seeing her brother’s expression, Miaomiao was certain that her brother wanted to say this to her. So, she said, “Aunt Shao Xue had reminded me before.”

Hearing Miaomiao’s words, Gu Yi felt relieved.

“Miaomiao.”

Gu Yi called his sister’s name.

Hearing that, Miaomiao asked him, “What?”

“You have to protect yourself.”

“Okay.”

Miaomiao nodded.

“And…”

Gu Yi still wanted to say something.

However, he stopped while he raised his head and saw his sister’s serious face.

“And what?” Miaomiao gazed at her brother eagerly, waiting for him to speak.

However, Gu Yi smiled slightly and said, “Nothing. Eat properly. When I grow up and I can protect you, I’ll go to Yuncheng to find you.”

Hearing those words, Miaomiao was thrilled. She reached out and grabbed Gu Yi’s arm, “Grow up quickly, brother.”

“I will.”

“At full speed.”

“What do you mean?” Gu Yi looked at his sister strangely.

He didn’t know that his sister had learned so many words in the time he was away.

Miaomiao smiled and said with joy, “I want you to grow up at top speed. The sooner you grow up, the sooner you can be with me.”

Hearing his sister’s interesting explanation, Gu Yi couldn’t help raising his hand to stroke his sister’s hair, “You should study hard after we leave. You are going to kindergarten soon.”

“I don’t want to go to kindergarten.”

Miaomiao pouted, “Teachers have come to teach me at home. Why should I go to school?”

When Gu Changge was alive, Gu Yi and Miaomiao didn’t need to go to school.

Gu Changge hired the best teachers for them at home.

However, after Gu Changge died, they had been moving and they neglected their studies.

Gu Yi felt it was time to go back.

Before leaving, he whispered to his sister, “I came into your room secretly.”

“Why didn’t you come here openly?” Miaomiao looked at her brother.

Gu Yi was silent for a moment.

He didn’t explain to her that he could not openly come to her room because of Shao Tianze.

He only smiled, “Because we should go to bed at ten o’clock in the house. I’m afraid of being scolded for interrupting your rest.”

“No. Dad won’t scold you.”

“Yes.”

Gu Yi felt suffocated after hearing that his sister trusted their father.

He wanted to tell his sister that she couldn’t completely believe her father, apart from guarding against Gu Changle.

But how could he say this kind of thing?

Their father killed their mother. If he told this to his sister, how would his sister feel?

He couldn’t imagine how his sister would react after learning about these things. His only choice was not to tell his sister and not to let her know.

“Well. Miaomiao, you should sleep early. And I’m going back to rest.”

“Brother, talk to me for a while.”

Miaomiao took Gu Yi’s arm, not wanting Gu Yi to leave.

Gu Yi saw his sister holding his arm and laughed resignedly. He said, “Atta girl, stop being naughty. Tomorrow morning, I have to get up early to do my homework, and you will go back to Yuncheng.”

Being reminded by Gu Yi like this, Miaomiao’s mood fell instantly.

“I don’t want to go back to Yuncheng.” Miaomiao’s voice was gloomy. She was sorrowful at the thought of leaving Harbor City for Yuncheng and parting from her brother the next morning.

Gu Yi raised his hand and stroked his sister’s hair lightly, comforting her, “It’s OK. Don’t be sad. I will fly forward. I will grow up soon and go to fetch you, Miaomiao.”

Miaomiao raised her head and looked at Gu Yi suspiciously, “Really?”

“I promise you.”

Miaomiao’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Gu Yi had no way but held out his finger, “Miaomiao, if you don’t trust me, let’s make a pinky promise.”

Miaomiao blinked with tears in the eyes, “Promise.”

She stretched out her finger and hooked Gu Yi’s.

The two children hooked their fingers together and made the promise.

“After we did this, this promise will not change for a hundred years.”

“Yes.”

Gu Yi smiled, released his sister’s finger, and left her bed, “Well, I’m going back.”

“OK,” Miaomiao answered. Then, she watched her brother open the door and leave the room.

She would have many opportunities to meet her brother. However, for no reason, she felt it was hard to see her brother again after this parting.

She blinked, and tears flowed out of her eyes unconsciously.

Gu Yi quietly left his sister’s room and crept back to his room.

He didn’t know if Miaomiao’s room was arranged intentionally.

This time Miaomiao came to Harbor City from Yuncheng and lived in a room very far away from his.

As a matter of fact, Miaomiao could be arranged in the room next to him.

However, she was arranged as far as the corridor.

He thought it was their father who separated them deliberately.

As he was thinking, he walked to the door of his room. He put his hand on the doorknob, intending to open the door.

However, at the time when he turned the handle, he suddenly felt someone’s breathing in the dark air.

That was a very familiar breathing sound.

In an instant, the nerves in his whole body became tense.

In the next second, Shao Tianze’s voice reached Gu Yi’s ear.

“Why did you go to Miaomiao’s room so late?”

Hearing Shao Tianze’s voice, Gu Yi could not help trembling.

He didn’t know how to answer Shao Tianze.

On such a pitch-dark night, adults would be shocked by the sudden sound.

Let alone a child.

Shao Tianze didn’t hear his son’s answer.

He frowned and turned on the dim lights in the corridor.

The lights were not very bright.

Gu Yi stood stiffly in front of the door, turning around his head to look at Shao Tianze.

Shao Tianze also looked at his son, “What did you say to Miaomiao?”
