She was used to fighting for Du Sichen's approval. Before she got his applause, even if she had won countless awards, she didn't think she had a foothold in the entertainment industry.

However, all the efforts to gain his attention were in vain.

My brother really cared about her, but he never understood what she really wanted since he was a child.

Perhaps it has been too long since he returned to his former residence, Du Yunqian slept deeply, and his consciousness drifted far away.

She had a very long dream.

She dreamed that she was attending her parents' funeral, it was raining, she was wearing a black dress, holding a white rose in her hand.

Because she didn't know what death was, she didn't cry, and sat on the bench in a daze until a man and a woman squatted in front of her.

"Are you Du Yunqian?" The woman reached out to hold her hand.

"Hmm." She nodded.

"From now on, we will be your parents." The man standing next to him had a face resembling Du Sichen's. He reached out and stroked her hair with thick and warm palms.

She was picked up and traveled a long distance to another home.

"Yunqian, this is your brother, come, call someone."

"elder brother!"

She opened her mouth obediently, but got no response.

The boy's face was hesitant, and he looked at her coldly, with obvious wariness on his face.

"You have to get along well in the future, you know? Yunqian, you have to obey your brother obediently, and you, you have to take care of your sister when we are not at home."

"Understood." Although the mouth responded like this, the boy's expression revealed his reluctance.

She has a new family, her parents and elder brother. Although she feels vaguely uneasy, she quickly adapts to the new life.

Parents are not often at home, so she habitually clings to her brother.Her brother ignored her, but he never bullied her.When eating, he would wait for her to finish before leaving his seat. She didn't know whether it was due to politeness, or the young man tried his best to take care of his sister.

She likes to nest by the boy's side, as long as there is no noise, he will not drive her out.

She likes to call him brother, although he will always frown at her when he hears this name, but this does not detract from his beauty that has gradually grown over time.

"Brother!" She liked to break into his study when he was concentrating on studying, and sat down on the floor, trying to attract his attention.

The boy looked back at her, didn't care, and continued to study.

"Brother!" she shouted again.

"Yeah." In a casual tone.

"elder brother!"

"What's the matter with you?" The boy finally got angry, and she smiled, knowing that he was angry, but she would not punish her.

No matter how many times she played such a game, she would never get tired of it.

Several times, she woke up from her sleep and found that she was hugged by her brother and sent back to her bed all the way.

"Asleep again? Go back to sleep in your own room!"

Hearing his dissatisfied complaints, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Let me tell you, it's not an example."

Complaining is nothing but complaining, but the action of putting her back on the bed was unexpectedly gentle.

Occasionally, he would stand by the bed and watch her for a while before leaving.She carefully pretended to be asleep, until he turned and left, then dared to open her eyes and look at her leaving back.

On the day she was taken away, she was playing in the park, waiting for her brother to come home.

Several strangers took her away. At first she screamed and cried bitterly and panicked, and finally she was exhausted and huddled in a corner, crying until she had no energy left.

Being ignorant and ignorant, she was just afraid at first, until a stranger said cruelly to her, "Your parents won't give you money in exchange." Then she vaguely knew what happened.

In addition to fear, there is more despair in my heart.

In the early morning of a certain day, she was thrown on the street and left to fend for herself. A kind person called the police and sent her to the hospital.

She slept in the hospital for a long time, and when she woke up, her mind was blank.

The boy stayed by her side, woke up several times, and never left. He was persistent and stubborn to talk to her, but she didn't know what to say to him.

That face was gentle and handsome. Although it was a bit childish, it could already be seen that he would be an extraordinary handsome man in the future.

She looked at the young man, feeling familiar.

who is he?Is he part of his family?

Why do you look at her with such a worried expression?

"The doctor said that your memory is a bit confused, but it's okay, it will recover slowly in the future, now you have a good rest and don't think about anything..."

The teenager held her hand tightly, so hard that she felt pain.

"I'm your brother...don't worry, from now on, I will take good care of you and never let anyone hurt you."

The sun shines into the room, and the excessively bright light makes all the darkness invisible.

Du Yunqian sat on the bed, looking at the white carved dresser and the bright red plush sofa, the colors were too bright for her to feel real.

What a terrible dream!

It was rare to go home once, but I had a nightmare.I dreamed that I lost my parents, the sadness and despair of being abandoned, as if I had experienced it myself.

Du Yunqian recalled everything in his dream, but he couldn't remember some details, but he remembered the sadness when he attended his parents' funeral.

However, his parents are still alive?

Du Yunqian didn't understand.

During her growing up, there was something that had always troubled her, and no one had ever given her an answer. This long dream aroused her doubts again.

After grooming and dressing up, he went downstairs. Du Sichen was already waiting for her to have breakfast with her in the dining room.

French toast, bacon, egg rolls, English breakfast tea... Du Sichen seemed to have specially ordered that this day's breakfast was extraordinarily rich.

Looking at the food she likes, Du Yunqian can't eat it.After barely swallowing the sandwich, he couldn't help but speak.

"Brother, I...why don't I have memories of my childhood?"

Stopping his hands that were cutting food, Du Sichen raised his head and glanced at Du Yunqian.

He doesn't go out for work today, so he wears a cotton plain shirt and khaki slacks. He is dressed in a very homely and simple way, but the noble mechanical watch on his hand reveals his extraordinary taste and wealth.

He carefully studied Du Yunqian's expression, and responded.

"This question again?"

"I don't remember my life before I went abroad. What was it like when I was a child? In my memory, there has never been a picture of a family reunion... It seems that something important happened, but I can't remember it at all..."

"You're young, so it's only natural that you don't remember anything." Du Sichen said flatly.

In my impression, Du Sichen used this sentence countless times in reply, and Du Yunqian could no longer be satisfied with this perfunctory answer.

"No, something must have happened back then to make me so uneasy, and... I had a dream yesterday..."

After wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin, Du Sichen raised his eyes and sighed, "I'm not a child, how could I take my dreams seriously?"

"That dream was very real, as if I had really experienced it." Du Yunqian clenched his fists.

"Okay, tell me, what did you dream about?" Putting down the hot tea in his hand, Du Sichen responded patiently.

Although his tone was gentle, there was a condescending arrogance in his expression.

Under his sharp gaze, Du Yunqian looked away a little guilty.In the past, Du Sichen taught her more than once to be calm and dignified, to have the demeanor of a lady, and not to yell because of trivial matters.

Du Yunqian's dream was very fragmented. She looked into the distance and tried to describe the scene in her dream.Including how she came to this home, how she got into the hospital in an accident.She told intermittently, but she didn't notice that the face of the man beside her was getting heavier and heavier.

"Enough, let's stop here! It's just a dream, don't take it seriously."

Involuntarily interrupting Du Yunqian's narration, Du Sichen got up, walked to the French windows, looked at the green courtyard, and said softly, "What you should focus on now is your own future, don't think about it."

"elder brother!"

"Does chasing the past do anything for your future? It's pointless..."

"If I don't figure it out, I will feel that my life is missing a piece, just like a puzzle. That blank piece will always be my shortcoming, why my parents and I always don't kiss each other, why I have to live abroad alone... In my dream, I was an adopted child, if the dream is real, I think it all makes sense..."

Du Yunqian raised her head and asked seriously, "I'm not a child of this family, am I?"

Du Sichen seemed to be shaken a bit, but when he turned around, he did have a calm smile with a hint of reproach.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you want my brother?"

"of course not!"

"That's good, I don't want to hear any more silly talk about dreams..."

Du Sichen walked back to his seat and sat down again.He patted Du Yunqian's clenched fist and reminded softly, "Didn't you have something important to tell me yesterday?"

"Yep!"

Although he knew that Du Sichen was shifting the focus, this matter was also very important.Du Yunqian hurriedly fetched her handbag, and respectfully presented the tickets for the stage play.

She stared at Du Sichen with worried eyes.

"This time I'm going to do a stage play."

"I know, you have reported to me last month that you are going to perform a stage play."

His warm tone made Du Yunqian happy, and hope emerged in his heart.

"Next Wednesday is the premiere, this time the best position, brother willing to come?"

Du Sichen scrutinized the coupon, carefully scanning the front and back, not missing any details, and seemed very interested, which made Du Yunqian even more delighted.

"I know my brother likes stage plays, so..." Du Yunqian smiled brightly, her face flushed with excitement.

She took the job only for Du Sichen to appreciate.Too used to trying to win Du Sichen's approval, before he got his applause, even if he won numerous awards and was affirmed by the audience, Du Yunqian never thought that he already had a foothold in the entertainment industry.

"I like it, but I have an important meeting that day." Du Sichen put the invitation ticket on the table and pushed it back to Du Yunqian.

"The stage play doesn't start until seven o'clock in the evening, brother must be in time." Du Yunqian said anxiously.

Just a few seconds of silence, to Du Yunqian, seemed as long as a whole century.

Du Sichen thought for a while, and then said, "My job...you know, I often rush to work day and night, even late at night."

"Can't you spare a few hours for me?"

"Business matters!" Du Sichen spit out these words without haste.

Du Yunqian was extremely disappointed, but she stopped arguing. She was not a girl who would fight for herself, and Du Sichen was not someone who could plead.

The harder you try, the more you will get the opposite effect.

She tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, but the slight trembling of her body betrayed her will.

Sensing Du Yunqian's annoyance, Du Sichen put his hands on her shoulders and pulled her closer, "For the first stage performance, you must be on stage beautifully. What kind of flowers do you like? I will ask the secretary to order it. You are welcome."

"Thank you brother." Du Yunqian bowed her head in thanks, this is not what she wanted.

It was futile to go all out to get Du Sichen's attention.

She was very disappointed.

My brother really cared about her and loved her, but he never understood what she really wanted since he was a child.

Ji Xiang originally wanted to go and return quickly, but under the arrangement of Kles, it turned into a grand ceremony of returning to the family.

Ji Xiang felt cheated when he visited his ruddy and apparently healthy father.

Then, Kles took him to the royal press conference and publicly announced that he had retrieved the half-brother. He summoned many relatives and dignitaries and asked them to pay respects to Ji Xiang according to formal etiquette.

This series of arrangements caught Ji Xiang by surprise.In Kles' territory, even if he doesn't want to, he will be pressured by Kles to attend.

Those aristocrats who were quick to get rid of him in the past spouted compliments, admiring him like a god, hearing it, Ji Xiang just wanted to sneer.

In just three days, he has become the rightful second prince of this country, Kles even allocated a palace to him, as if Ji Xiang is about to come back and live there for a long time.

On the fifth day, Ji Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, and said he wanted to go back to work, Kles had to let him go, and before leaving, Kles gave him a cross badge.

"This is for you!"

Ji Xiang was familiar with the shape of this pattern. He pulled out the necklace from his neck and compared it with the badge presented by Kles, and it was indeed similar.

"This is..." Ji Xiang murmured.

"This is the crest of our Muller family. Your necklace should have been given to your mother by your father and king, and then passed on to you. This badge can only be given to the person we value the most." Keles smiled , with a face full of aristocratic majesty, softened by a smile.

"Really? My mother gave me this necklace..."

Over the years, Ji Xiang has always hated his mother for sending him to far away Europe and ignored him. After listening to Keles' words, the hatred for many years seems to be relieved a little.

Maybe mother still loves him!

"You can also give the badge to someone you value. As long as you have this badge, you are a distinguished guest of our Muller family. If you have any requests, we will do our best to help."

"It's so easy to use?" Ji Xiang couldn't help laughing seeing that Kles said it carefully.

Keles still had a serious expression, and added, "Because of this, we mostly gave it to our own significant other."

Your significant other?

Ji Xiang suppressed his smile and thought about this question.

With this gift, Ji Xiang went to Aoxiang Tianji to look for Jin Haoxun, but in vain.Secretary Li Ling said that Jin Haoxun went out for a walk.

"The manager should be going to the park. It's not far from here. Do you want to go and find him?" The little secretary smiled and pointed the direction for Ji Xiang attentively.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look."

Walking to the park, the park is not big, so it didn't take long for Ji Xiang to find someone by the lake, but Jin Haoxun was not alone, there was a girl in a light red shirt beside him.

Ji Xiang recognized at a glance that it was Xiao Yili, the head of the soaring sky.

Xiao Yili was born in a wealthy family, without the slightest squeamishness, she is gentle and amiable.

Her body is frail, and she is a real greenhouse flower. She has congenital heart disease since she was a child. She underwent a major operation a year ago, and she was rescued from the gate of hell with great difficulty.

Usually Xiao Yili always had a gentle smile on her face, but now she seemed a little excited.

Ji Xiang sensed that the atmosphere was not right and stopped quickly.

"Brother Jin, you are very gentle. You know that I am weak and don't have many friends, so you are always by my side. I have always been very grateful to you..." Xiao Yili clasped her hands.

"It's okay, Yili, we are friends, this is what I should do."

"Is it just a friend?" Xiao Yili lowered her head in disappointment, "The media has been exaggerating our relationship, and I never want to clarify it, because... I also secretly hope that Brother Jin belongs to me... I have undergone surgery and cultivated to Now, for such a long time, Brother Jin has been by my side, in my heart, Brother Jin has long been more than just a friend... Is there no other possibility between us?"

A moment of silence.

Jin Haoxun, who was always good at speaking, couldn't say a word at this moment, and looked at the girl in front of him blankly, with a troubled expression.

The situation was embarrassing, Ji Xiang wanted to leave, but the movement of turning around alarmed the two people in the conversation.

"Ji Xiang!"

Jin Haoxun's shout forced Ji Xiang to stop, and he greeted the two, "Hi, what a coincidence, are you coming for a walk too?"

At this moment, of course he couldn't say that he came here specially to find Jin Haoxun.

Xiao Yili's expression naturally couldn't be better, she forced a smile, lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Ji Xiang's gaze.

"I'm going home first." Xiao Yili looked at Jin Haoxun, seeing that he had no intention of keeping him, she had to leave in a hurry with a frustrated expression.

The back view of Xiao Yili's departure seemed like she had lost a battle.Such a beautiful person is so embarrassed, even Ji Xiang can't bear it.

"Is this okay? Just let her leave like this?" Ji Xiang turned his head and asked Jin Haoxun.

"It's okay, our conversation is over." Jin Haoxun smiled unnaturally.

"She's a good girl."

"Of course." Jin Haoxun nodded, but without any joy.

It seems that Jin Haoxun has no intention of responding to Xiao Yili's feelings, but usually Jin Haoxun takes good care of Xiao Yili, which is seen by everyone.

"Aren't you going to respond to her feelings?" Ji Xiang couldn't help but ask.

Jin Haoxun thought for a while before saying, "I like Yili, but that's just for my friend, I never have any delusions."

"At the beginning you ran around because of her illness, took care of her and comforted her carefully during her illness, everyone saw it."

Ji Xiang just discusses the facts, Jin Haoxun did devote a lot of time and energy to Xiao Yili at the beginning, the media's relationship between the two is not groundless.

"I just cared about her and took care of her from the standpoint of my friend and manager. We almost lost Yili in that serious illness. I really can't imagine losing her again..."

"Isn't it great now? She is back healthy and healthy. She will never forget the kindness you showed her when you ran around for her. The Xiao family will naturally treat you differently, regardless of the difference in your identities... "Ji Xiang told from the standpoint of a bystander.

"I didn't think so, and naturally I didn't think about climbing the Xiao family." Jin Haoxun shook his head.

"Xiao Yili has a deep love for you. With such a beauty chasing after you, why hesitate? If you lose this object, you will never find a better candidate. If I were you, I would not hesitate." Ji Xiang The corners of his mouth curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Jin Haoxun raised his head, carefully studied Ji Xiang's expression, and said after a long while, "Ji Xiang, do you want me to be with Yili?"

Ji Xiang didn't hear the expectation in Jin Haoxun's voice. He turned his face away and said softly, "I don't think you need my opinion."

"I want to know what you think."

"Why? You have always been very assertive, and you don't need my advice at all." Ji Xiang's tone was lukewarm, with a bit of sarcasm, "If I really want to say it, I think you are a very suitable couple."

After staring blankly at Ji Xiang for a while, Jin Haoxun put on a smiling face and changed the subject.

"Are you here for a walk? Let's go for a walk and chat!"

Asked by Jin Haoxun, Ji Xiang was stunned.

In his trouser pocket was the badge that Kles gave him. When Kles said that he would give this badge to the person most important to him, Ji Xiang first thought of Jin Haoxun, but he did not expect that Encountered such a scene.

The sincerity that I originally wanted to offer with both hands, but now I can't say it no matter what.

Xiao Yili's confession was like a slap on his face, reminding him that all emotions are his wishful thinking, if even such a beautiful and gentle girl can't get the love she longs for, how much room will his emotions have? land?

What's more, can he be as brave as Xiao Yili?

"Okay!" Ji Xiang waved his hand, throwing what he wanted to say into the air.
