From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Mhmm… Okay…”

“Then you won’t cry anymore, right? If you’re crying, you can’t take care of Brother Wen Yan, right?”

“Yes… Yes…”

Jian Yiling tried to hold back her tears. However, as she had been crying for a long time, she could no longer control her sobs.

Jian Yunmo gently pinched Jian Yiling’s nose and said: “Look, your eyes are swollen from crying. They’re not pretty anymore.”

“I don’t want them to be pretty. I just want Brother Wen Yan to get better.”

“Mhmm. Why don’t you go and wash your face? Then, let’s go and speak to Brother Wen Yan, okay?”

“Okay…”

Jian Yunmo carried Jian Yiling to the bathroom and helped her wash her face.

Then, he carried her over to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan was not yet asleep. His arm had been put into a cast.

When he saw Jian Yunmo and Jian Yiling, Wen Yan smiled: “Little Yiling is not crying anymore?”

Jian Yiling’s eyes were still visibly red and swollen. However, she said: “Brother Wen Yan, I’m sorry! I won’t climb trees in the future! I will take care of you! Furthermore, I will also help you find a sister-in-law in the future!”

After all, she broke Brother Wen Yan’s hand! If he couldn’t find a wife in the future, she had to be responsible!

Upon hearing this, Wen Yan laughed: “Ahh, alright. If I can’t find a wife in the future, I will rely on you!”

“Mhmm!” the little girl nodded seriously.

Then, Jian Yunmo thanked Wen Yan: “Thank you for protecting Yiling today.”

“Don’t be so polite. Yiling is also my cousin.”

“Mhmm. It’s getting late though. Please rest. I will bring Yiling over to see you again tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

After that, Jian Yunmo and Jian Yiling left Wen Yan’s room.

Then, Jian Yunmo carried Jian Yiling to the garden. He borrowed an axe from the gardener of the Wen family.

Jian Yunmo carried Jian Yiling in one hand and an axe in the other.

“Brother, what are we going to do?”

Jian Yiling’s arms were around Jian Yunmo’s neck. Her small face was filled with curiosity.

“We’re going to cut down the bad tree that caused Yiling to fall.”

“Huh?” Jian Yiling exclaimed in surprise.

“The tree misbehaved. It caused Yiling to fall down.”

“No no.”

“Hm?”

“No no. I was the one who misbehaved. Don’t blame the tree. Brother, please don’t chop down the tree,” Jian Yiling said.

“Really? So we don’t chop the tree?”

“Mhmm! And since I wasn’t well behaved, you can spank me as well.”

“But aren’t your buttocks afraid of pain?”

“Then… Spank me gently, okay?” Jian Yiling said quietly. She was still a little afraid of being spanked.

This made Jian Yunmo incredibly amused.

“Well, you owe me for now. Let’s just go back to sleep okay? Tomorrow morning, we will get up and take care of Brother Wen Yan, okay?”

“Mhmm! I want to take care of Brother Wen Yan!”

By the time Jian Yunmo carried Jian Yiling back to their room, the little girl was already asleep in his arms.

However, her arms were still circled around his neck as she refused to let go.

When Wen Nuan saw this, she couldn’t help but smile: “Ahh, it seems as though you know how to coax your sister.”

The next day, Jian Yiling got up early in the morning.

“Brother! Don’t be lazybones! Get up! The sun is already up!”

When Jian Yiling woke, she was determined to wake her brother up as well.

“You bad girl. Don’t you know that I rushed over yesterday?”

As Jian Yunmo had just woken up, his voice was a bit hoarse.

However, he had no choice but to get up. After all, their little princess had woken. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t sleep anymore.

“Do you want to wear a pink dress or blue dress today?” Jian Yunmo asked his sister.

“Pink!” Jian Yiling cried out. “Brother Yunmo, please hurry up! I want to go and take care of Brother Wen Yan!”
