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

The dean lovingly carried Mengmeng back to the front yard.

A stylish silver luxury car was found parked in the yard, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing them, the three people in the car got out.

A bodyguard in black calmly pushed a young man in a wheelchair.

The man in the wheelchair exuded an air of nobility, with strong features and a hint of sadness between his cold brows.

He is a European royal duke, Gu Yinshen.

The slender, noble-looking boy following not far behind was his fifteen-year-old third son—Gu Shiyu.

"Are you the dean? Our husband wants to adopt a girl whose birth chart is auspicious and whose five elements are dominated by water."

The bodyguard stepped forward, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

The dean nodded, gently put Mengmeng down, and patted her head.

"Mengmeng, you wait here quietly. Grandma has some errands to run and will be right back."

After speaking, the dean led the bodyguards and Gu Yinshen to the inner courtyard to check the children's information.

As soon as the dean left, the front yard became quiet.

Gu Shiyu stood not far away, his heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one green, were particularly eye-catching in the light.

Mengmeng rubbed her swollen little eyes and looked up at him groggily.

Seeing those heterochromatic eyes, she tilted her head, feeling a pang of sadness.

She ran over with her little feet, her little hands tightly gripping Gu Shiyu's sleeve, her eyes full of curiosity and pity.

"Brother, you're so beautiful, even you got dumped?"

Her soft, sweet voice carried a hint of sadness, and her eyes were clean and innocent, revealing a natural kindness.

Gu Shiyu frowned slightly and looked down at her.

Because of his heterochromatic eyes, he was always the target of ridicule and strange looks, and he had long been used to the look of disgust and rejection.

But today, this little girl actually complimented his eyes on being beautiful?

"Uh... what are you talking about?"

His face flushed slightly, but he refused to admit that his heart had been touched, and his eyes flickered as he looked away.

Mengmeng didn't notice his arrogance and continued to say in a pitiful voice:

"Waaah... Brother, Mengmeng is so sad. Mengmeng was tricked by Tiantian. Mengmeng has no home anymore... Waaah... Brother is just as pitiful as Mengmeng..."

Tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.

Gu Shiyu felt a pang of panic, but muttered to himself, "What a crybaby, so troublesome."

Although he complained, his hands unconsciously took out a handkerchief and clumsily wiped away her tears.

He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only awkwardly say, "Don't cry, or people will think I'm bullying you."

With teary eyes, Mengmeng looked up at Gu Shiyu and said gratefully in a soft voice, "Thank you, brother...you're so good to me."

Gu Shiyu blushed and quickly turned his head away: "Don't say things like that. I'm not the kind of person who's nice to people."

He remained defiant, but a slight warmth stirred within him.

Just then, the clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and a strong wind picked up.

A few seconds later, the rain poured down.

Gu Shiyu was slightly taken aback, looked down at Mengmeng, and felt inexplicably nervous.

He quickly picked her up and hurried to the eaves to take shelter from the rain: "Really, why are you crying so much? The weather has changed."

The little girl in his arms looked at him, sobbing, as if she had found someone to rely on.

She said softly, "Brother, Mengmeng likes you like this... Brother is so gentle..."

Gu Shiyu awkwardly looked away: "I'm not gentle at all. Don't think that I'll be happy just because you praise me. I'm... I won't be easily coaxed."

He spoke forcefully, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

The little girl rubbed her head against his chest, then suddenly smiled, revealing two sweet dimples.

The moment she smiled, the dark clouds dispersed, the sky cleared up again, and even a seven-colored rainbow appeared.

Gu Shiyu looked up at the sky and couldn't help but mutter, "This weather... is really strange."

He was unaware that the little girl in his arms possessed the wondrous ability to control the weather.

"Thank you, big brother...you're so kind..."

Mengmeng said softly, her voice tinged with gratitude.

Looking at the soft, cuddly little girl in his arms, Gu Shiyu felt a surge of complex emotions.

Mengmeng's innocence and cuteness were like a breath of fresh air, washing away the long-suppressed gloom in his heart.

Her vitality and energy reminded him of his own lifeless family.

His father is disabled, his eldest sister is mentally unstable, his second brother is disfigured, his younger brother also has a hidden illness, and he himself is self-conscious and withdrawn because of his unusual eyes...

The whole house seemed shrouded in an invisible dark cloud, and everyone lost their vitality.

Mengmeng sniffled, her little hands covering her eyes, and asked in a soft voice, "Big brother... why do you have such beautiful eyes? Mengmeng likes them so much."

Gu Shiyu was stunned, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, but he quickly suppressed it.

She was the first person to truly like his eyes.

To conceal his inner turmoil, Gu Shiyu turned his head away calmly and gave a soft hum.

"Hmph, what's so interesting about this? As for you, you've been crying so much that your snot is running down your face. You're such a nuisance."

After a pause, he said again:

"Hey kid, wanna come home with me?"

Mengmeng blinked her teary eyes, her nose twitched with excitement, and another tiny snot bubble popped out.

She quickly wiped it away with her little hands, opened her eyes wide, and asked innocently, "Can I really go home with my brother? Will I have beautiful eyes too?"

Gu Shiyu glanced at her, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, then turned his face away and said stubbornly, "If you stop crying, maybe, possibly... I might consider it."

Upon hearing this, Mengmeng's eyes immediately lit up.

She flashed a big smile and said softly, "Okay! Mengmeng is willing!"

Seeing how happy she was, Gu Shiyu's heart softened immediately.

Although she still had a stern face, my heart had already melted at her adorable appearance.

He gave a soft hum and said in a feigned indifference, "Then be obedient and stop crying and whining. It's such a hassle."
