Tangtang glanced at her injury. Even though she had been careful to avoid touching it while washing up, the once pristine bandage had clearly changed since yesterday.

Her swinging legs suddenly stopped as she instinctively tried to hide her hand behind her back. But before she could, a hand reached out from beside her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her off the bench.

"Come on, I'll help you change it, " Meng Chenzhou said."

Huh?"

Tangtang's eyes widened. Her big bro wasn't going to make her wait today.

"Big bro, where are you taking me?"

Trailing behind Meng Chenzhou, Tangtang noticed that the path they were walking felt oddly familiar.

With a book in one hand and Tangtang's much smaller hand in the other, Meng Chenzhou led her to a large house.

Eventually, the two children stopped in front of the imposing building.

"This is where I live, " Meng Chenzhou said.

"Really?" Tangtang looked at the house, then at Meng Chenzhou.

So, it turned out the family that had moved in yesterday was his!

Including the butler who had given her a gift.

Tangtang couldn't help but smile brightly. "That's so cool!"

The butler was already waiting at the door, dressed impeccably in white gloves, a tailcoat, and holding a single cane.

He stood respectfully to the side, hands folded, and bowed slightly to Meng Chenzhou. "Young sir."

"Hello, Mr. Butler!" Tangtang chirped, one hand still held by Meng Chenzhou and the other clutching the gift the butler had given her.

She waved it cheerfully. "Thank you for the present!"

The butler had noticed the little girl accompanying Meng Chenzhou the moment they arrived. He hadn't let his gaze wander with Meng Chenzhou present, but now, hearing her voice, he realized she was the same child from yesterday.

"What a charming surprise!" After meeting her the day before, he'd found her endearing, which was why he'd given her the gift.

"I'm so pleased you like it, " the butler replied warmly, his usually reserved and elegant demeanor softening with genuine affection.

He hadn't expected the young sir to bring this little girl here.

It was surprising—after all, the only person Meng Chenzhou had ever allowed to get close to him was...

Suddenly, the butler's thoughts drifted to someone far away overseas.He quickly reined them in.
