The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539: I Never Said I Wanted to Take Her Back

”Isn’t Dad fussing over you? What do you need me for—” Xiao Chen’s voice stuck, he lowered his gaze and coughed lightly, ”It’s been so long, I don’t remember clearly.”

Chen Laohu’s eyes flickered uncertainly, and when they settled, they turned into a pair of eyes whose appearance seemed periodically bright and dim, with murky glints in the depths.

Little Taotie suddenly looked over and found that the white lotus flower instantly turned black, becoming an ink lotus!

A change of person!

Little Taotie met Chen Yue’s eyes, who somewhat awkwardly avoided her gaze.

Chen Yue squinted, looking thoughtful.

The panic in the girl’s eyes was captured clearly by Chen Yue.

Chen Yue’s mouth slightly curved upward, as if things were becoming interesting.

Little Taotie didn’t know if Chen Yue had discovered anything, so she only lowered her head and didn’t look over there, whispering, ”Wu xiang hui jia le!” (I want to go home!)

Cheng Guodong was quick to pick up Little Taotie and head out before the others, ”Let’s go, we’re going home!”

Tao Bin and Tao Shen, who were left last, exchanged a bitter smile.

For Little Taotie now, the Tao Family wasn’t the ”home” she spoke of.

Everything was a step too late; if they had found their sister earlier, brought her to the Tao Family before Cheng Guodong did, and resolved everything before Guodong, maybe the Tao Family could still be called a haven. But for Little Taotie, while the Tao Family had her relatives, it wasn’t a true haven.

Tao Bin lagged behind a few steps, Tao Shen slowed down and asked, ”Anything you want to say?”

Tao Bin lowered his voice, ”Are you really planning to just keep things like this?”

”What else? Take her back? Do you want to play the villain?”

It’s obvious who she’s closer to now; she loses her teeth and acts coy with Cheng Guodong, Qin Xin, and Gu Yixing, but not with the two of them, the difference is clear at a glance.

But even so, he wouldn’t resort to taking her forcibly - what would be the point, anyway?

She would only be unhappy.

He wouldn’t do anything to make his sister unhappy.

”I never said to take her.” Tao Bin replied with annoyance, ”Even if we wanted to take her, can we outdo those three big brothers?”

Tao Bin felt extremely frustrated. Based on Brother Cheng’s age, he could have had a child so big as to be their sister already, so how could he shamelessly claim to be a brother!

But he was still quite clear-minded; Brother Cheng, although somewhat shameless, was ultimately Little Taotie’s benefactor and the great benefactor of their whole family. Whether he wanted to recognize her as a sister or an adoptive daughter actually doesn’t make much difference, since he raised her properly through legal procedures. Their sister genuinely liked this big brother, taking her away was impossible.

”What I’m saying is, should we also move to Brother Cheng’s house?”

”You can go; I’ve got a research project unfinished, so I probably won’t be home for a month.”

”You’ve been busy lately, did something happen?”

”National secret, can’t say.”

”Oh, oh, oh, being all mysterious, if you can’t say, don’t say then.” Tao Bin blinked and said mysteriously, ”Actually, I have a secret too.”

”Hmm?”

”Hehe, won’t tell you! Won’t tell you!”

Tao Bin hurried to catch up with Little Taotie and the others, turning back to make a face at the last Tao Shen.

Tao Shen facepalmed, ”Small ghost, when will you mature a bit.”

Tao Shen picked up his pace to catch up.

...

When the group returned to the villa, they ran into Hua Jinyan who had just parked and was getting out of the car.

Little Taotie saw him and waved towards him, but suddenly remembered she was missing a tooth, and quickly put her hand down, covering her mouth, thus not making a sound.

She originally wanted to call out to him.

Hua Jinyan jogged over, came by Little Taotie’s side, and seeing her strange expression, squinted, ”What’s up?”

Little Taotie shook her head, not speaking.

Hua Jinyan suspiciously observed her expression, seeing her lips pressed tightly together, he guessed, ”Did you lose a tooth?”
