Chapter 8, The Utilized

The next day, it was another sunny day

Teng Yi affectionately and intimately wrapped his arms around the small frame of the young one, "Let's go, Second Brother will take you to school, or you will be late."

"Good." Luo Nian nodded obediently, looking at the closed door, a cold smile that was completely incongruous with her innocent appearance crept onto her lips. Heh... ? ... It seems that a good show is about to unfold. I wonder if Tian Tang Zhen Ao and Bi Yang Ai Bi Rui will enjoy it... ? Hmm... ... In fact, rather than a peaceful method of revenge like tit for tat, she preferred to double the torment, leaving her victims in a state of utter despair, unable to live or die.

As the year gradually opened its eyes, gently embracing her with its arms and warmth, she couldn't help but smile sweetly, reluctant to get out of bed

Zhenyi was suddenly stiffened by the sensation on his lips, looking at the innocent smile, his eyes filled with darkness. "Good morning. Has Xiao Luo greeted anyone else like this?"

Long eyelashes lowered, blocking the trace of coldness that slipped through Luonian's gaze. Could it be that she was deliberately holding back Zhenyi? Indeed, she had underestimated the stubbornness of that woman from Tiantang Zhenya. Did she really want to compete with her for Zhenyi? Perhaps it should be said that a woman's sixth sense is truly accurate; as a mother, she sensed the aggressive signals emanating from Luonian, which is why she was going to such great lengths to obstruct her

It truly seems to be heading further down a dead end, as I originally intended to let her live a few more years out of consideration for Zhenyi.

"But... but Big Brother said he would take me..." Luo Nian felt a bit wronged, as Big Brother had clearly promised to take her to school

"Xiao Luo." Just as Luo Nian was about to be shoved into the car, Zhen Yi's voice suddenly rang out, and the smile at the corner of Teng Yi's mouth abruptly vanished, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes

A lovely red and blue checkered wool V-neck thin vest, paired with a white shirt featuring a red bow at the neckline, a checkered skirt that is five centimeters above the knee, white knee-high socks, and black leather shoes, presents a cute yet elegant Japanese-style school uniform. The outfit is complemented by high, slightly messy red hair styled into a bun, adorned with a cream-colored small bow on top, creating the image of an incredibly cute and innocent little girl in the mirror

Is it acceptable to be late?

Good morning, brother

"No need to thank me, little darling. It's no wonder that little darling hasn't grown up, given that only this little bit of food is provided. I was wondering what was going on, and now it all makes sense." Teng Yiyi's smile was enchanting and captivating, but the butler who stepped out beside her was immediately startled. His usually calm demeanor, akin to a deep ancient well, flashed with a hint of panic. This is bad! The incident involving the third young lady had caught them completely off guard, and they had forgotten to instruct the newly arrived maid not to display her usual harsh demeanor towards Luonian while the two young masters were present.

Absolutely not

Holding the soft, seemingly boneless little hand, Teng Yi's smile grew increasingly radiant. However, due to his demonic nature, no matter what he did, he always appeared so wickedly enchanting and alluring. As the door was pushed open, sunlight poured in, instantly adorning him with a layer of golden edges, creating an aura of noble illusion.

I will go out first, Xiao Luo, hurry up and get up, your elder brother will take you to school

Luo Nian hesitated for a moment while standing in place, nervously clutching the hem of his clothes with his small hands. After glancing around, he finally took small steps forward and said, "Second Brother."

You are about to be late, does the little darling dislike the second brother so much? Not even willing to go to school with the second brother? It seems that every time Zhenyi is present, the little darling forgets all about the second brother, which is truly heartbreaking. He exaggeratedly made a sad and dejected expression, and anyone could tell he was pretending, but the easily deceived little bunny just couldn't see through it

"No, my brother said he would take me to school." Luonian clutched the table leg, refusing to let Tengyi drag her out, her cheeks puffed up, and her big eyes stared at Tengyi.

You little liar! Zhen Yisong let out a sigh of relief, irritably pinching her tender cheeks, "You said you liked the eldest brother the most, and now that you've only been away for a short while, you think the second brother is quite good! Tell me, have you fallen for Teng Yi?"

Teng Yi immediately smiled, his eyes curving, as he pinched the little one's soft and tender cheeks, "Let's go."

One of the founders of Curtis Law College is Tian Tang Zhen Ao, which is also a prestigious institution with a Japanese-style orientation, thus the uniforms inside are also inclined towards a Japanese aesthetic

At this moment, her courage has indeed grown, but no, it should be said that regarding the matter of Zhenyi, this little one has always been that bold.

"Little darling." A face exuding an aura of seduction suddenly drew close to Luo Nian, causing Luo Nian's eyes to widen in fright, resembling a startled little rabbit. This appearance, however, elicited a chuckle from Teng Yi.

"No, not at all." Luo Nian sat in the chair opposite him, and the maid, who had yet to receive instructions from Tianzhong, as always, only provided her with a glass of milk and a slice of toast. She had just picked up her knife and fork when a beautifully slender hand, with joints that were almost excessively elegant, took her breakfast away. In the next moment, it was replaced with a lavish breakfast: a perfectly fried egg, high-quality Italian ham, and two red cherries as decoration, making one’s appetite stir.

"You're going to be late for class, you little fool." A pleasant and melodious male voice came from above, and the small head of Luonian was pulled out, meeting a beautiful and gentle smiling face. Luonian seemed to be infected by his tenderness, and the dissatisfied pouting red lips immediately broke into a smile, giving him a kiss with a soft "muah" on his lips

"Then, I will go with you, and Second Brother won't be sad." Luo Nian cautiously grasped the hem of Teng Yi's clothing, her clear and beautiful big eyes filled with a touch of endearing grievance.

... ... but ... ...

At a loss for words, only the sound of the two of them slowly chewing remained. After a while, Luonian finished the last sip of milk and glanced at the ornate wall clock, which indicated that it was almost time for class. However, Zhenyi had yet to appear

When Luo Nian opened the door and walked downstairs, the atmosphere seemed no different from usual. The only difference was that the cold and proud Tianfang Manao, who usually sat high at the dining table, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was a charming figure in a black silk shirt, leaning on his perfectly sculpted chin, smiling at her.

A faint glimmer passed through the depths of her lowered gaze, and she shyly and timidly looked up at Teng Yi, who was smiling at her from across the table, "Thank you, Second Brother"

Hmm? Is the little darling afraid of me? Teng glanced at Luonian's series of actions, and the smile at the corner of his mouth slightly faded, yet he still smiled with his enchanting peach blossom eyes.

Sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the room, and the white plush carpet seems to reflect a milky halo, soft as water

Ah! The sound was suddenly interrupted by a sharp scream, and Zhenyi furrowed his brow; it was the voice of Biyang

still

"But you are already going to be late." Teng Yi embraced her, his beautiful fingers poking at the red envelope on her head, while the short and unremarkable Luo Nian did not notice that the smile at the corner of this demon's mouth had already vanished

Luo Nian blinked his eyes as if deep in thought, which instantly caused Zhen Yi's expression to darken slightly. Luo Nian then smiled radiantly, saying, "No way, I like big brother the most, I wouldn't want to kiss anyone else!"

Ah...
