In the eyes of Yusheng, a carefree person, the current scene was filled with pink bubbles.
But in Niannian's eyes, the scene in front of her was filled with a blood - killing aura. However, the pink of the peach blossoms and the crimson of the blood - killing aura intertwined and rushed into her eldest brother's body.
The picture was beautiful, but it was also extremely terrifying.
Niannian couldn't hold it in any longer. She wriggled out of Yusheng's embrace like a little loach and rushed directly into Yu Qiu's office.
The sound of her opening the door was really loud, which startled the two people inside.
The two of them separated quickly as if they had been electrocuted. The woman's earlobes were tinged with a blush, and Yu Qiu's fair face also turned crimson.
Being seen by his younger sister in such an intimate scene with a woman, and this younger sister was just a six - year - old girl.
Well, it was embarrassing no matter how you thought about it.
"You can go first. I'll call you if there's anything." Yu Qiu glanced at the woman beside him and was about to send her away.
But while he wanted the woman to leave, Niannian didn't.
The little girl directly blocked in front of the woman with her body, stopping her from leaving.
Frowning, she asked crisply, "Who are you? Why are you pestering my eldest brother?"
This inquiring tone made Yu Qiu frown. He subconsciously looked at the woman.
Sure enough, the woman being questioned already had red - rimmed eyes, and her face was full of uneasiness.
"I... I'm not pestering Mr. Yu. I'm Mr. Yu's assistant. I accidentally slipped when I came to deliver the documents just now. Mr. Yu was kind enough to give me a hand."
The woman's voice was soft. At the moment, she looked like a little white rabbit bullied by a big bad wolf, which could easily arouse a man's protective instincts.
"You must have done it on purpose. What's your purpose for approaching my eldest brother? Hurry up and tell me, or I'll beat you to pieces!"
Niannian had never been kind to demons and ghosts. She ignored the woman's explanation and continued to press on with her own questions.
The woman looked at the little girl and then at Yu Qiu behind her. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell instantly.
This crying not only stunned Yu Qiu but also the little girl.
Yusheng, who was standing at the door watching the show, was even more confused.
What's going on? Why is she crying?
"Miss, I don't blame you because you're young, but some words can't be said casually. I'm really poor and don't have much financial ability, but I just want to live a down - to - earth life and do my job well step by step. I have no intention of climbing up the social ladder."
"Miss, not everyone loves money, and not everyone is willing to sell themselves for money."
The woman's eyes were teary, and she bit her lower lip tightly to show her stubbornness.
This impassioned speech left Niannian completely at a loss.
What on earth is this? What is this demon talking about? Why can't she understand a single word?
"Niannian, don't be so impolite. She's my assistant. She just started yesterday. She really just slipped, and I just gave her a hand."
"But no matter what the truth is, you shouldn't assume other people's thoughts at will. It's easy to hurt people's feelings."
Seeing the little girl being so aggressive and the assistant looking so vulnerable and stubborn, Yu Qiu's heart gradually inclined towards the woman. He couldn't help but speak up for her.
But before the little girl could reply, Yusheng couldn't sit still.
If his sister said there was something wrong with someone, could that person be a good person? Definitely not!
Yusheng was deeply convinced of this. So it was okay for his sister to be a bit tough with someone with problems, right? Was there anything wrong with that? Not at all! That's exactly how tough she should be!
"Eldest brother, I don't like to hear what you said. What do you mean by 'assume'? Niannian is only six years old. What does she know? This woman talks like in a Qiong Yao drama. I don't even understand her speech, let alone Niannian."
"Niannian just simply asked if she had any ulterior motives. If she did, she could just admit it; if not, she could just say no. Can't she answer normally? She has to cry like that, as if someone is bullying her. She's just adding drama to herself with that long speech."
Yusheng's mouth was really poisonous. The woman, who was just silently crying, now burst into tears and even let out sobs.
Yusheng was really disgusted by her appearance. He didn't beat or scold her. Was it really necessary to cry like this?
"Anyway, you'd better not approach my eldest brother in the future. If you do, my eldest brother will be unlucky."
Niannian silently took a few steps back and retreated to Yusheng's side.
She knew that her second brother was speaking up for her, while her eldest brother didn't believe her at all and was even going to scold her.
A good word won't persuade a person who is destined to be doomed. Since her eldest brother cared more about this woman, there was no need to continue persuading.
"Second brother, let's go." After saying that, Niannian pulled Yusheng and left the office without looking back. Her cheeks were puffed up, looking like an angry pufferfish.
Yusheng took her to the tea room. After getting her a few small cakes and some milk, he gently coaxed her, "Don't be angry. Maybe eldest brother was just bewitched by that woman."
"No, he wasn't bewitched. The talisman paper I gave him yesterday not only cut off the peach blossoms but also had a spell to clear the mind. Although the talisman has expired, the after - effect of the spell is still there. No demon or ghost can bewitch eldest brother so easily. That means eldest brother really wanted to speak up for her just now."
This was what made the little girl the angriest. If Yu Qiu was really bewitched by a demon, she wouldn't say anything and just take out her little wooden sword to kill the demon.
But the fact was that eldest brother was clear - minded but still involuntarily inclined towards that woman.
The gears of fate had already started to turn. She felt a sense of helplessness.
"What's wrong with that woman? Can you tell anything?"
Yusheng was a bit surprised by this answer. He really couldn't believe that his eldest brother, who always valued his family, would side with an outsider.
"She has an evil aura on her. It's not very strong and harmless. Maybe there's some demon enshrined in her family."
"A demon?" Yusheng was shocked. He had seen ghosts and those strange blood zombies, but this was the first time he had heard of a demon.
"Yes, her connection with the demon is similar to that of a medium. But the immortals of the medium are usually intelligent and spiritual animals, which are half - step earthly immortals. They have a mutually beneficial relationship with their disciples. After accumulating merits, they can become formal earthly immortals, like the local gods."
"But the demon on her is definitely not one of those. The evil aura is too strong, and it's a bit... evil." Niannian nodded slightly and patiently explained to Yusheng.
"So that woman and that demon are not good people, right?"
"Yes, they definitely aren't."
