The nanny came to clear away Li Sheng's used plates, and changed the chopsticks for Ye Chen and Li Yin. Li Yin clenched her fists and said to the housekeeper, "Grandpa housekeeper, can you get me a pudding?"

"Of course, Miss." The housekeeper smiled, glanced at Ye Chen beside Li Yin, and walked towards the kitchen.

When the entire hall was empty, Li Yin spoke in a low voice, with a bit of sadness in her crisp voice: "I'm causing you trouble, right?"

Ye Chen didn't answer.

Li Yin pursed her lips: "I'm sorry."

Ye Chen shook his head, and took a piece of pastry for Li Yin, but when Li Yin looked at the pastry, mist appeared in her eyes, she rubbed her eyes, jumped off the chair, and ran upstairs with a thud.

Ye Chen sighed lightly, lost his appetite in an instant, put his chopsticks aside and was about to get up.

The butler came over with the pudding, saw the empty seat next to Ye Chen, but didn't ask anything, just said to Ye Chen who stood up: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"Thank me for what?" Ye Chen frowned puzzled.

"The master often goes out on business. For so many years, the young lady has been at home alone without many friends. Mr. Zhou is the first person who can make the young lady so happy." The butler's cold face softened a little.

"...I heard that Mr. Li has a younger sister." When he called before, Li Yin was indeed picked up by a woman.

"Because of some reasons, the little miss can't get together with her parents, and she can't go to school like ordinary people." When the butler said this, his eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but sullen. "The master hired a private preschool education earlier. Come to accompany the little lady, but I probably won't come again in the future."

Ye Chen remembered Li Yin's bright smiling face before, he was silent for a moment, looked at the pudding in the housekeeper's hand and said, "I'll bring it to her."

Not surprised by Ye Chen's actions, he handed the plate containing the pudding to Ye Chen. The butler put his palm on his left chest and bowed gratefully to Ye Chen: "Mr. The fourth room to the left of the stairs. If you need anything else, just ask."

"You're welcome."

The door of Li Yin's room was ajar, and through the gap, a small body curled up with a doll could be seen.

Ye Chen pushed open the door and walked in.

Sensing someone entering, Li Yin's face buried in the doll half lifted, and after seeing clearly that it was Ye Chen, she buried it again and said sullenly, "Don't come near me."

Ye Chen stopped walking and asked with a smile: "Are you angry?"

Li Yin shook her head, and said the rest of the sentence: "As long as you don't get in touch with me, uncle won't force you to stay here."

"I didn't mean to trouble you on purpose..." Tong Yin wept slightly, and Li Yinyin's small body in the shadows trembled, not daring to look at Ye Chen, "You must be here right now." I regret what you helped me before."

"I do not regret."

Hearing these four words, Li Yin raised her head cautiously, and looked at Ye Chen who was squatting halfway in front of her at some point, looking at her tenderly.

"Even if I come again, I will choose to help you, but I will suggest them to change to another hotel later." Ye Chen stroked Li Yin's fluffy hair, held her face up, wiped away the tears lightly, and said with a smile : "Okay, okay, my little princess, it doesn't look good if your eyes are swollen from crying."

Li Yin's eyes kept flickering with these words, and suddenly her face collapsed, she threw herself into Ye Chen's arms, let go of her voice and started crying, but Ye Chen was a little caught off guard, thinking that she had said something wrong words, hastily patted Li Yin to coax her.

Then I realized that this is a sign that a child is willing to get close to you.

After playing with the recovering Li Yin for a whole afternoon, Ye Chen, who almost tossed his old bones to pieces, hugged Li Yin, who was finally tired from playing, to the bed.

Li Yin's eyelids were trembling, but she still reluctantly grabbed Ye Chen's palm: "Why don't you leave?"

Ye Chen smiled and rubbed Li Yin's hair, "I promise you, when you wake up, you will see me by your side."

Hearing this, Li Yin immediately smiled contentedly, rubbed the quilt sleepily, and closed her eyes.

The child fell asleep quickly after being tired, and it didn't take long for Li Yin to fall asleep. During this period, he struggled around in a daze, exposing his neck to the outside.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand to tuck Li Yin in, but his gaze suddenly focused on a faintly visible streak under Li Yin's neck.

Is this... whiplash?

[Ding, the system failure has been detected, and it is now reloading... The loading is complete, and the system 2020 will serve the host wholeheartedly. 】

Hearing the familiar machine voice, Ye Chen's mood was not relaxed. He gently pulled down Li Yin's collar a little bit, and more of the streaks were revealed, completely confirming Ye Chen's heart. idea.

Sensing the anger churning in the host's heart, 2020 hesitated to speak.

【Host? 】

"How did Li Yin get hurt?"

[Retrieving the data of Li Yin, a level 1 character in the dungeon, please wait... The data has been retrieved.The host was caused by Li Yin's father. 】

"Her father?"

Ye Chen, who thought Li Sheng had some special hobbies, frowned and accepted the information 2020 gave him.

According to the data, Li Yin's father was violent. Li Yin had been subjected to hundreds of violent incidents before being picked up by Li Sheng, and Li Yin was not yet five years old at the time.

And Li Yin's mother, Li Lan, didn't love Li Yin's father, and even hated her to the extreme. She sacrificed her marriage to save the down-and-out Li family, and she was also severely beaten by Li Yin's father during the period.This resentment accumulated over time, and it was grafted onto his daughter Li Yin, which led to his indifference towards Li Yin afterwards.

Li Yin, who was treated like this by her parents, gradually closed herself, until Li Sheng propped up the Li family again and rescued their mother and daughter, but there was not much improvement.

Is that why the steward said?

Ye Chen pursed his lips tightly, looked at Li Yin's peaceful sleeping face like a kitten, lightly shook his fingertips, and carefully tucked the quilt up for Li Yin: "Where did you go before?"

[The system experienced a temporary failure, and was forced by the headquarters to go back for maintenance and updates, and could not notify the host in time.This update mainly improves the original performance of the system, and improves and fixes the search function.Example: System 2020 is a level 1 system, which can investigate the information of all level 1 dungeon characters in the dungeon. 】

A flash of light flashed in Ye Chen's mind: "Including Li Sheng?"

【Yes. 】

"Help me get his information."
