4408 The Other Side 377

Amused, Youyou tugged at his hand, pointing out what shouldn't be mentioned. "Are you crying?"

"No." Little Yichen denied it stubbornly, but anyone could hear that his voice was hoarse.

As an elder brother, he felt compelled to save face and not shed tears easily in front of Youyou. Now that his eyes were bloodshot, he naturally did not want Youyou to see it.

Youyou, however, did not stop and gently tugged at his sleeve again. "Hey... Big Brother..." Again, the address of "big brother" struck the most vulnerable part of Little Yichen's heart. "Big Brother, I missed you. What about you? Did you miss me?"

Little Yichen lowered his head and chuckled. "Yes..."

"Well then ..." Youyou was full of anticipation as he asked, "Aren't you going to give me a hug?"

Little Yichen turned and finally looked at him.

Seeing his reddened eyes, Youyou chided, "Why are you crying? It's not as though I'm missing an arm or a leg. I look fine don't I?"

Little Yichen could no longer hold back and hugged him tightly. Yun Shishi looked at them with relief. The brothers' reunion made everyone present sigh with emotion.

Gong Jie was deeply affected as well. Touched, he stepped forward and was about to reach out to hug the two brothers when Youyou looked up with a familiar icy expression. "Go away."

The man's expression froze. "I..."

The gratitude in his heart was immediately replaced by embarrassment. Gong Jie was furious! He had, just a moment ago, been extremely touched by the emotional display of brotherhood. In the end, he was struck down by Youyou's words.

"Hey!" The man looked resentful. "Can't I hug you even if I want to?"

To think that he was touched! What a heartless fellow!

"No, go away."

The man's suspicion grew. "When did Uncle offend you? Do you have to target me like this?"

"Pfft! Did you offend Youyou or Gong Fan? Otherwise, why would he target you like this?" Since Yun Shishi asked this, Gong Jie gave it careful thought, but he could not figure out what he had done to offend his little nephew. He shook his head blankly.

Hua Jin said, "It seems that you must have unintentionally offended the boy. Otherwise, of all people, why would he have chosen you as a target?"

Gong Jie spat, "Heartless fellow! Think about it; Uncle works so hard to support your little lover!"

"Little lover!?"

Everyone was stunned. These words undoubtedly caused a stir. Alice had just arrived with Natalisa. When she heard this, she was caught off guard and laughed out loud.

Youyou blushed awkwardly at the remark. "What are you talking about?"

Yun Shishi's interest was piqued. "Little lover. What little lover?"

Gong Jie clearly did not know that Alice had just arrived with Natalisa in tow. He said solemnly, "Sis, don't you know, it was this good son of yours who cried his eyes out and forced me to adopt Natalia back then. Any fool can tell that this fellow has evil intentions!"

Yun Shishi's mouth fell open in surprise. "No way. Youyou's only young. Does he know all this? How could he have fallen in love at such a young age?"

"Kids these days grow up fast."

Youyou retorted unhappily, "When did I cry or force the matter?!"

"Who threw a hissy fit and made me adopt her?"

Youyou's blush deepened. "I didn't!"
