Chapter 17: Is It Brother?
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After successfully stealing a kiss, the little thing buried her head under the blankets, satisfied, and fell asleep.
Outside the window, the moon hid behind the clouds. Inside the cozy but childish room, the white puppy was falling asleep on the soft carpet. The wind chimes outside the window tapped lightly against each other with the breeze.
The man rigidly lowered his head and looked at the girl who was fast asleep. His eyes were soft and after a moment of hesitation, he lowered his voice and replied.
“Good night.”
…
Early morning the next day, the often quiet and lifeless Huo family suddenly became bustling with activity.
There was no other reason than the fact that everyone’s favorite young master of the Huo family was coming back.
The moment the news was conceived, the mansion was blasted with happiness.
The little thing who had just woken up and got off the bed hugged the puppy tightly while rubbing her eyes, watching all the maids cleaned up the mansion in confusion.
“Grandpa housekeeper.”
She called out crisply and her white little face tilted up in confusion.
“Eh?” The housekeeper’s anxious expressions disappeared for a moment when he heard the little girl’s soft voice. His tense expressions softened and he smiled slightly, “Little miss, you are awake? Are you hungry?”
Ye Sang shook her head and blinked curiously, “Grandpa, are guests coming here?”
Housekeeper nodded eventually after hesitating; he thought that it was better to tell her about the Huo family’s young master.
The middle-aged man hugged the ball of snow and sat on the couch, his low voice sounding worried, “You just came so you shouldn’t know, but our sir has adopted a young master.”
“Our sir doesn’t have women around him, and probably won’t have any in the future, so he decided to adopt a child and raise him as his heir to reassure our old master.”
“This time, the guest who’s coming to the Huo family is our young master who’s undertaking advanced studies overseas, Huo Chenyu.”
But…
There was something else he didn’t say.
And that was: a cold-hearted person like their sir probably won’t take the child seriously even though he adopted the child.
In Huo Yao’s eyes, Huo Chenyu was only a qualified heir.
As for that unnecessary fatherly love… it was impossible for Huo Yao to give that to him.
“Is it brother?” The little thing was confused and tilted her head at Grandpa housekeeper puzzledly.
It almost made all the maids and the housekeepers’ hearts melt.
“I heard that the young master has a bad temper…” A maid whispered.
“Right, I’ve heard about that too. I wonder if he’ll bully young miss?”
“Aaahhh, little miss is so cute, he can’t be demented enough to do that, right?”
“Who knows?” Another maid was worried for Sangsang, “Let’s watch him closely today. If he dares to bully our little miss we’ll tell the sir about it.”
Although they weren’t sure if their young miss or Huo Chenyu was more important in Huo Yao’s eyes.
…
The Huo family’s mansion had never been this busy; everyone was anticipating the arrival of the young master.
The housekeeper hugged the soft ball tightly in his arms and comforted her as he was worried that she was scared, “Little miss, don’t be scared, you can tell me anything.”
“Although I’m not that useful, my words are worth a gram or two in front of Mr. Huo.”
From the bottom of his heart, he really didn’t want the young master to come back now.
The little thing hasn’t been here for long and Mr. Huo was a cold person. He didn’t put Huo Chenyu in his mind, let alone Ye Sang, who only spent about a day with him.
Chapter 18: Granddaughter Is The Best In The World

If they were to fight, the little thing would only get beaten up.
Ye Sang leaned in and rubbed her milky face against the housekeeper, “Grandpa housekeeper, you are so nice.”
Her actions made everything laugh and secretly scream how cute she was.
The mansion’s atmosphere was joyous and harmonious. The little thing had a soft and adorable voice and she smiled like a sun; she easily made everyone’s heart melt.
When everyone was crowded around the little girl, Old Master Huo came downstairs and was in a trance for a moment, looking at the bustling scene. He reacted slowly and realized that it was because of the granddaughter his cheap son brought back.
The housekeeper had a good sense and held the little thing’s hand, bringing her to Old Master Huo and pushed her in front of him for an introduction.
“Old Master, this is young miss.”
Ye Sang’s cat eyes brightened at the familiar face. She flew over and called crisply, “Grandpa!”
Her crisp ‘Grandpa’ made Old Master Huo’s unpleasant mood immediately disappear.
As expected, my granddaughter is the best in the world.
Look at how she calls me Grandpa, it’s much better than that stinky brat Huo Chenyu.
Old Master Huo never really thought about it, but as the saying goes, there would be no harm if there were no comparisons.
Since the good little granddaughter came, he found Huo Chenyu to be exceptionally unpleasant to his eyes.
Old Master Huo pinched the little thing’s face lovingly and leisurely studied all the maids panicking at Huo Chenyu’s arrival. He chuckled for an unknown reason, “The Huo family was never this busy before.”
“He’s only a child, is there a need for you all to put up a great deal in tidying up?”
His eagle-like eyes sharply glanced at everyone, his light tone already showing his attitude.
The Huo family needed an heir, but Huo Chenyu was only a dispensable chess piece to them.
There was no need for them to go through so much trouble.
The housekeeper hesitated and spoke, “But…”
“We haven’t tidied up the young master’s room…”
Indeed there were quite a lot of empty rooms but they never really cleaned them because they didn’t often have many guests.
If they don’t clean it now, where would the young master stay?
The housekeeper was worried that Ye Sang’s status would be threatened after the young master came back, but he realized that his worries were unnecessary after seeing Old Master Huo’s unconcerned attitude.
Old Master Huo squatted down and held the little thing tightly in his arms, asking carelessly, “Can’t he stay in the guest room?”
“Tidy up a guest room for that brat.”
“But…” The housekeeper was astonished, he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Old Master Huo’s face became frosty and looked rather impatient, “Anything else?”
Can’t he see that he was busy improving the relationship between him and his good granddaughter?
Only a stinky brat was coming, did they have to make such a big deal out of it?
The housekeeper shook his head and shut his mouth discreetly, “Nothing.”
He had been here for so many years and he had learned how to weigh his masters’ words and observe their expressions. Everyone there all knew that Old Master Huo was reminding him about this.
He was making it clear to everyone that it didn’t matter if Huo Chenyu comes back or not, Ye Sang will always be more important than him.
Everyone felt their hearts drop back into their stomach after seeing this.
It was obvious that Old Master Huo loved the young miss from the bottom of his heart.

Chapter 19: “Brodda… Can I Eat That?”
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After lunch, Old Master Huo held the little thing’s hand while taking a stroll, ruffling her soft hair with the other hand while smiling, “Sangsang, do you want to meet your older brother with me?”
“Brother… ”
The little thing’s eyes were confused.
What is a brodda?
She bit a finger subconsciously and his childish voice was muffled, “Brodda… can I eat that?”
Old Master Huo froze, “No, you can’t eat a brother.”
The little thing tilted her small face up and softly commented, “But Sangsang never ate a brodda before…”
Huo Chenyu, who just got out of the black Bentley, stared at the scene. “…”
The housekeeper, who was behind him and in charge of leading the way heard the conversation and laughed.
Old Master Huo couldn’t help but laugh loudly as he lovingly kissed the little thing’s forehead, “Why is our Sangsang so cute?”
Huo Chenyu saw the unmasked smile and spoiling expressions and immediately stopped in his tracks rigidly. He slowly clenched his fist and the coldness in the bottom of his heart slowly expanded.
The pair of dark eyes hidden under the boy’s fringe looked at Ye Sang with unmasked malice.
Another child who was raised like a disposable chess piece?
As soon as the idea appeared in his head, Huo Chenyu dispelled it firmly.
No.
She was different from him.
When Old Master Huo looked at her, there wasn’t a single bit of coldness or scheming intention.
His kind and pampering eyes… any human could recognize her identity.
Huo Yuchen laughed silently.
Heh…
So this is his so-called ‘sister’?
“Grandpa.” The instant when Old Master Huo looked at him, the ten-year-old boy looked down and silently held back the malice at the bottom of his eyes.
He obediently acknowledged him, but his cold tone was exactly the same as Huo Yao’s.
Old Master Huo heard his call and his smile faded. He put the little thing down on the ground without a reply, but coldly introduced, “This is your sister, she’s five years younger than you.”
Then, Grandpa Huo rubbed the top of the girl’s head and changed to a warm tone of voice while explaining, “This is your older brother, Huo Chenyu.”
“If he dares to bully you, tell Grandpa and I will take care of it for you.”
Huo Chenyu caught Grandpa Huo’s spoiling yet sincere expressions, and derision flashed across his eyes.
Ha.
So it looked like people from the Huo family weren’t heartless.
They just didn’t like him.
As a tool to them, he must make the Huo family satisfied to avoid getting disowned.
Ye Sang was resting in Grandpa Huo’s arms, struggling over the fact that “brodda isn’t edible”, heard Huo Chenyu’s name. She pondered blankly for a while and widened her cat eyes as if she remembered something.
She pouted her lips and mumbled to herself, “Brodda… Isn’t edible.”
She remembered this ‘brodda’.
In the novel, Huo Chenyu’s contribution to her cheap Daddy’s bankruptcy and having his reputation swept away couldn’t go unnoticed.
Her Dad brought her brother back and raised him up as the heir without any warmth of a father. Even after Huo Chenyu found his biological parents, her cheap Daddy decided to catch his parents to control Huo Chenyu, as well as to prevent him from rebelling against him.
It was in Huo Yao’s personality to be so conceitful, he didn’t know where to draw the line; when things reach the extreme, they could only move in the opposite direction.
No matter how obedient his chess piece was, he couldn’t possibly sit and wait for death after the people he cared about were caught.
Under the male leader, Duan Jinyan’s, persuasion, Huo Chenyu made up his mind to hack into Huo Yao’s computer and stole all records and files of his company.
