The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Xiao Yuxi grabbed Xie Yaochuan's clothes, hiding her whole body behind him, peeking out one eye and looking timidly at Mu Yunchao.

Seeing him looking at her, she immediately grabbed Xie Yaochuan's clothes to cover her face.

"outsider!"

"They'll kidnap and sell people!"

"I won't see my second sister!"

"bad!"

Xie Yaochuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Mu Yunchao, who was heartbroken by the little girl's actions, and couldn't suppress a smile.

Wow, this seemingly perfect gentleman has actually come to this.

Mu Yunchao looked at the little girl's hands, which were hiding behind Xie Yaochuan and only showing her fingers gripping Xie Yaochuan's sleeve. The little girl's hands were a bit thin and had an unhealthy pale color.

As if burned by his gaze, the little girl's hand "whoosh" and shrank behind Xie Yaochuan's clothes.

Great, now we can't see anything at all.

Is he that scary?

Realizing he couldn't see anything, she slowly shifted her gaze to Xie Yaochuan's face, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, but she still spoke coldly and indifferently, "Why are you here instead of attending court?"

Xie Yaochuan raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled somewhat unrestrainedly, "Your courtyard wasn't like this a month ago, was it?"

Mu Yunchao looked at his eyes, which seemed to hold a deep affection in anyone's eyes, and subconsciously glanced at the surrounding layout, which had not been altered.

Sure enough, his junior brother never uses his brain for anything worthwhile.

"You still came in, didn't you?" Mu Yunchao stated the fact calmly.

Xie Yaochuan nodded, then reached behind him and pulled the little dumpling to the front, grinning mischievously. "Why the cold face? Can't you see you've scared the child?"

Mu Yunchao's expression softened instantly, as if all the ice had melted away. He slowly squatted down and looked at Xiao Yuxi, "Can you tell me your name now?"

Xiao Yuxi subconsciously took a step back, just in time to step on Xie Yaochuan's shoe, leaving a small black footprint on the white shoe surface.

Xie Yaochuan's brow twitched slightly. He silently took a step back, grabbed her by the collar, lifted her up, and held her in his arms. He could clearly feel the child relax.

If anyone else had dared to step on his shoes, he would have killed them long ago.

Mu Yunchao's eyes darkened, and he looked at him coldly, "Let go."

"Senior brother, it's not that I'm not letting go." Xie Yaochuan bounced the little girl in his arms, and when he saw her gasp softly, he continued with a smile, "It seems that the children of your Mu family don't quite recognize you."

The same debt as in my past life.

Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, Xie Yaochuan slowly recalled that the Mu family seemed to be a family of military generals. Although Mu Yunchao was a civil official, his methods were even more ruthless than those of military officials.

Xie Yaochuan raised an eyebrow, gently removing the fur from the little girl's collar that she had put in her mouth. "Silly girl, you put everything in your mouth. Tell your brother," Xie Yaochuan smiled and glanced at Mu Yunchao, emphasizing the word "brother," "What's your name?"

Mu Yunchao's fingers tightened slightly, his eyes sweeping across his neck. If he hadn't saved Xixi in his previous life, he would have snapped his neck without hesitation.

Xiao Yuxi hugged Xie Yaochuan's neck, secretly glanced at the seemingly cold older brother opposite her, and hugged him even tighter.

Cold and aloof, looking really fierce.

She looked at her cold, aloof brother who was giving her a strange, smirking smile, which startled her so much that she immediately turned her head away.

Although that cold-looking older brother is also very handsome, his smile is really scary, like he's a bad guy.

This older brother has a really, really handsome smile. Xiao Yuxi hugged Xie Yaochuan tightly, feeling a sense of security, and then answered him in a soft, sweet voice, "My name is Mu Yuxi."

Xie Yaochuan nodded, then looked at the person opposite him who was already furious.

Although his expression remained unchanged, Xie Yaochuan, having spent a long time with him, could naturally guess his emotional changes.

Suddenly, he saw Mu Yunchao's pupils shrink slightly upon hearing the name. He felt that this child might be related to his recent strange behavior.

Mu Yunchao's heart tightened as he looked at the little girl in front of him. The tender face in front of him slowly overlapped with the blood-stained face from his previous life. Was he going to repeat the same thing again in this life?

Seeing her slightly frightened expression, Mu Yunchao tried to soften his voice, "Xixi, I'm your brother."

Xie Yaochuan looked at Mu Yunchao in shock, and became even more curious about the identity of the child in his arms.

Brother? Could he be the Duchess's child?

That's impossible, how could they be so unfamiliar with each other?

Xiao Yuxi, who had been hiding her face in her fur collar, lifted it up and looked at the older brother opposite her.

She instinctively turned her head to look at the handsome older brother who was holding her.

Xie Yaochuan reached out and pinched her cheek. "What? I already said he's your brother, that's your real brother. Why are you looking at me, your fake brother? Don't tell me you'd rather I be your brother? Fine, our Xie family..."

Xie Yaochuan coughed suddenly, looking incredulously at Mu Yunchao, who had somehow acquired a wooden stick.

Mu Yunchao, holding Xiao Yuxi in his left arm and a thin wooden stick in his right, stepped back several dozen paces and stared coldly at him.

Xie Yaochuan felt a bone-chilling cold; everything around him seemed to have been frozen instantly, as if he were in an ice cellar.

Xie Yaochuan patted the dust off his stomach where the wooden stick had hit him, and chuckled somewhat irritably, "You won't even let me talk anymore..."

Xiao Yuxi opened her mouth in surprise. She had suddenly gone from the handsome brother's arms to this brother's arms, but she hadn't moved at all. How could things have changed so suddenly?

The warmth in my older brother's arms felt a little different from the coldness in others, and suddenly I felt a little less afraid.

Xiao Yuxi looked at him and subconsciously bit her finger. He looked just like her second sister.

Mu Yunchao threw the stick aside, pulled her fingers out, and looked down at her, saying, "Don't eat everything, it's dirty."

"Pfft..." Xie Yaochuan leaned on a nearby rock and slowly sat down, looking at Mu Yunchao, who was now completely different from before, lying lazily on the rock.

"Since you want to carry her, then carry her. While you're at it, take her to the Duchess's place. I'm going to lie down for a bit."

Mu Yunchao ignored him and said, "Go home and lie down. Don't dirty my floor."

Xie Yaochuan watched with annoyance as Mu Yunchao carried the little girl away.

Good guy.

He genuinely exclaimed, "Wow!"

This guy is really something. He used to be a brother to me, but now he looks down on me?

Xiao Yuxi hugged her older brother, looked at the handsome older brother lying on the rock behind her, then at the older brother's delicate profile in front of her, and asked somewhat timidly, "Are you Second Sister's older brother?"

"Second sister?" Mu Yunchao looked up at Xixi in his arms.
