"Yingying sister, Luoluo will show you to my room."
The little girl, having just made a new friend, was chirping excitedly like a sparrow.
"Okay," Ye Yingying replied with a gentle smile, appearing every bit the kind, protective elder sister.
Watching the two girls walk away hand in hand, Qin Shu's eyes softened, her mood lifting pleasantly.
Having two little girls in the house made all the difference—it was as if even the air had grown sweeter.
However, Huo Tingyan frowned slightly as he watched his daughter skip away, his eyes clouded with deep thought.
Unlike his optimistic mother, the Third Master of the Huo family had spent years navigating ruthless business waters, rising to such heights that he'd encountered all manner of devious characters. Though Ye Yingying hid it well, she couldn't deceive him.
Even the most cunning old foxes felt exposed under Huo Tingyan's piercing gaze—let alone Ye Yingying, a barely worldly little girl. He could see right through her machinations.
Her calculating nature at such a tender age unsettled him. Letting Su Luo grow too close to someone with such ulterior motives risked the naive girl being taken advantage of.
After all, that silly little thing might just cheerfully count the money for whoever sold her.
