Chapter 464 - 472 Chu Xiaoyao_2
Li Yifei’s heartfelt words caused Chu Xiaoyao much distress, and as he lifted his hand to caress her face, he softly said, "Xiaoyao, don’t worry, your uncle will never leave you."
"I believe you." Chu Xiaoyao smiled faintly, pulled down Li Yifei’s hand, and placed it on her chest, whispering, "Uncle, I’m sleepy. Just touch me here; I like it. When I fall asleep, then you can be with Sister Yiyi like that."
Su Yiyi’s face blushed, but she was more worried about Chu Xiaoyao. However, after she and Li Yifei watched over Chu Xiaoyao for a while, Xiaoyao actually fell asleep. Despite not appearing too grief-stricken that day, in reality, she was only pretending, and such pretense was exhausting. Thus, as soon as she relaxed, her weariness overwhelmed her, and she fell into a deep sleep.
"Xiaoyao really is a pitiful child. Who knows when she’ll be able to move on from this sadness," Su Yiyi sighed softly.
Li Yifei, stroking Su Yiyi’s cheek, said, "It may take a very long time, sigh..." He had been through similar loss and, being a man, it had still taken him some time to recover. Chu Xiaoyao, just a girl, naturally had a lesser capacity to endure. To truly overcome the period of mourning for lost loved ones would require even more love and care. Further, she was very sensitive during this time, simultaneously longing for attention and fearing others’ pity. Even a single word could wound her fragile nerves, making it a particularly difficult time to provide care.
Su Yiyi, leaning gently against Li Yifei’s chest, said, "As long as we treat her well, I believe Xiaoyao will recover soon. The love of a man can be the best medicine for her wounds."
In the morning, Su Yiyi went back to school, and Little Yue, the young girl, came over bright and early. After the College Entrance Exam, these kids were like birds freed from their cage, eager to go out and have fun every day.
However, soon after Little Yue’s arrival, Chu Xiaoyao’s phone started ringing. It was her uncle, Chu Wenqiang, calling, asking her to visit her father’s company. Chu Xiaoyao didn’t want to go, but Li Yifei still signaled her to agree.
After hanging up, Chu Xiaoyao pouted and said, "I don’t want to go. My uncle and the others used to treat me well, but this time, they seem too greedy for the inheritance. It makes me uncomfortable."
Li Yifei seriously told Chu Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, that’s human nature. After all, everyone has to look out for themselves. They haven’t done anything excessive, and it’s fairly understandable. The important thing is that they don’t try to take over the company and assets your father left behind."
Chu Xiaoyao shook her head and said, "But I doubt they’ll restrain themselves."
