The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

She gestured with her hands to express her gratitude, her eyes filled with tenderness and emotion.

Seeing this, Mengmeng quickly reached out her little hand to wipe away her tears and gently comforted her, "Auntie, don't cry, Little Butterfly will definitely make your life better!"

As Mengmeng watched the fairy butterfly gently land on Aunt Xue's shoulder, she silently said to the fairy butterfly in her heart, "Fairy butterfly, you must heal Aunt Xue's voice. I think Aunt Xue is so gentle, her voice must be very beautiful!"

When Aunt Xue can talk, she'll definitely tell me lots of wonderful fairy tales and sing lots of beautiful nursery rhymes. I can't wait!

The fairy butterfly gently tapped its wings, seemingly in response to Mengmeng's request.

Aunt Xue felt that warm power and hugged Mengmeng with tears in her eyes.

The little girl's soft little body felt so warm in her arms.

Aunt Xue's cold and lonely heart was melted by Mengmeng's warmth at this moment.

"Auntie, don't cry. Auntie, can you help me get dressed? Your clothes are so comfortable!"

She spoke sweetly, and then handed over her little skirt.

A gentle smile appeared in Aunt Xue's eyes as she gently helped Mengmeng put on her clothes.

She thought to herself how lucky she was to be able to take care of such a sensible and lovely child.

After getting dressed, Mengmeng happily twirled around, her skirt swaying gently.

She took Aunt Xue's hand and they walked downstairs together.

When she reached the top of the stairs, she saw Gu Shiyu standing there.

He was wearing a dark-colored school uniform suit, with a white shirt collar and a dark red tie. He was tall and straight, like a prince from a fairy tale.

Mengmeng's eyes lit up. She let go of Aunt Xue's hand, circled Gu Shiyu several times, and exclaimed in amazement:

"My brother is so handsome, like a prince!"

Gu Shiyu was slightly taken aback, then awkwardly looked away, a faint blush spreading across his cheeks.

"Idiot, it's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be."

His expression remained aloof as usual, but he couldn't hide the blush that had crept up to the roots of his ears.

Mengmeng didn't mind her brother's "sharp tongue" at all; she just tilted her little face up and looked at him with a smile.

Gu Shiyu sighed, took her small hand, and led her downstairs for breakfast.

When they arrived at the dining table, Gu Shiyu complained that Mengmeng ate too slowly, but he still considerately cut her bread and poured her milk.

Even when she accidentally got her mouth dirty while eating, he gently wiped it clean with a tissue.

"Your brother is going to school today and will be gone all day. You stay home and behave, don't run around, okay?"

Gu Shiyu frowned and gave her some instructions.

Then he looked at Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping and solemnly instructed them to keep a close eye on Mengmeng and not let her go to dangerous places.

Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping smiled and nodded, indicating that they would definitely take good care of Mengmeng.

Mengmeng took a bite of the custard bun and said with a smile, "Brother, brother, let me tell you, Uncle Gu told me to call him Dad! I have a dad now, brother!"

Her voice was full of joy and excitement.

Looking at her smiling face, Gu Shiyu couldn't help but smile.

"Fool, I knew you'd be this happy."

His cold expression softened, and he was genuinely happy for Mengmeng.

Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "Brother, you actually knew all along?"

Her tone was filled with surprise and delight, and a touch of emotion quietly welled up inside me.

She wondered to herself if her brother had helped her behind the scenes, which was why Uncle Gu was willing to take her in as his daughter.

The thought flashed through Mengmeng's mind, and she felt a warm glow in her heart, her eyes softening even more.

She felt as if she had rediscovered her brother's gentler side.

Although he always appeared cold, he was actually very sensitive.

Gu Shiyu felt a little embarrassed by Mengmeng's intense gaze.

He coughed lightly, his tone carrying a hint of feigned indifference.

"Alright, I'm going to school now. Stop grinning like an idiot here."

As she spoke, she picked up her schoolbag, lowered her head to avoid Mengmeng's bright eyes, and tried to hide the emotional turmoil in her heart.

However, there was something unnatural and awkward about his movements.

Mengmeng blinked, secretly amused by her brother's awkward expression.

I think my brother's reaction was absolutely adorable.

She quickly followed, ran lightly to the door, and called out softly, "Brother, let me take you!"

Gu Shiyu paused slightly upon hearing her voice, but did not turn around; only a faint smile appeared on his lips.

I walked out, trying to appear calm, but my heart was warmed by the soft, cute little figure behind me.

Mengmeng excitedly pulled Gu Shiyu along the way, insisting on taking him to school.

Gu Shiyu initially thought it would be troublesome and that she would be too tired, but looking at Mengmeng's expectant eyes, he finally reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, I'll let you drive me this once."

Mengmeng cheered and climbed into the Gu family's luxury van, sitting in the back seat with Gu Shiyu.

She leaned against the window, her little face pressed against the glass, filled with curiosity about the tall buildings and street scenes outside.

Every now and then, she would point to a building and ask in her childish voice, "Brother, what's this? And what's that for?"

Looking at Mengmeng's adorable appearance, Gu Shiyu couldn't help but be touched by her innocence.

“You’re already a three-and-a-half-year-old big baby, why are you still acting like a curious little baby?”

Although he spoke impatiently, his mood improved when he saw her sparkling eyes.

When they arrived at the school gate, Gu Shiyu noticed a hint of reluctance on Mengmeng's face.

She tilted her head back, her eyes glistening with tears, and said softly:

"Brother, I'll miss you. Please come back soon, okay?"

Gu Shiyu's heart softened, and his cold and arrogant attitude also relaxed a bit.

He lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Okay, brother will be back soon. You stay home and wait for me."

Mengmeng nodded, forcing a sweet smile: "Goodbye, brother~"

Gu Shiyu pushed open the car door and got out, his eyes still filled with reluctance and excitement.

Just after Gu Shiyu walked into the school gate.

Lu Rongsheng, who was about to enter the school, happened to pass by the car and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Gu family's car.

This car is the one that the Gu family usually uses to pick up and drop off Gu Shiyu.

Gu Shiyu has been on leave from school for a month. Could it be that he came today?

Upon closer inspection, Lu Rongsheng saw a cute and pretty little girl waving from the car window.

When Lu Rongsheng saw half of the girl's face, he was stunned for a moment.

The girl looked so much like the girl who saved her father.

He's seen the photo; he can't be mistaken.

"Who is she? What is she doing in Gu Shiyu's car?"

Is it Mengmeng?

Lu Rongsheng frowned, full of doubt, "But, wasn't Mengmeng adopted by our family? Why does the Mengmeng at home look different from the photos? This girl looks more like her..."

He paused for a few seconds, then tried to go forward and take a closer look.

But they only had time to see the car drive away and eventually disappear from sight.

A cloud of doubt remained in Lu Rongsheng's mind.

……

Gu Shiyu walked into the campus.

Butterflies fluttered gracefully around him, their light shimmering faintly in the morning glow.

Gu Shiyu glanced at Lingdie, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curving into a smile, but he quickly regained his cold expression.

"Hmph, the little guy's gift is actually quite interesting."

He pretended he didn't care.

The faint light emanating from the butterfly seeped through his clothes and into his skin, bringing a soothing warmth.

Gu Shiyu felt much better, and even his usually tense nerves relaxed a bit.

"Silly Mengmeng, you gave me such a wonderful treasure so easily..."

He muttered his complaints quietly, but a soft spot in his heart kept spreading.

I really want to go back and be with Mengmeng as soon as possible. Every second I can't see her leaves me feeling empty...

I wonder if the little guy will cry without him by his side.

In classrooms.

Lu Rongsheng was standing around several classmates, excitedly showing off a photo on his phone.

The girl in the photo is wearing a cute dress, with a sweet smile, full of childlike innocence.

"This is our newly adopted little sister, Mengmeng. Isn't she cute?"

Lu Rongsheng's tone carried a hint of pride, clearly indicating that he liked this new younger sister very much.

Several female classmates nearby exclaimed, "Wow, she's so cute! Your little sister has such a sweet smile!"

Lu Rongsheng's smile grew even more smug. "Right? She's really well-behaved. She even did a jigsaw puzzle with me yesterday. She's smarter than me, her older brother."

Just then, Gu Shiyu stepped into the classroom, his indifferent gaze sweeping over Lu Rongsheng and the sweet photo in his hand.

He couldn't help but scoff, "What's there to brag about? Every family has a younger sister."
