Billionaire's Secret Twins and Rebellious Wife-Chapter 607: Cheeks Suddenly Felt Hot…

The sunset cast a tranquil glow, its dazzling radiance softly shedding light on a fair complexion.

Xi blinked his lively, big eyes as he leaned forward for a closer look.

Upon seeing clearly, he realized it was that familiar, beautiful face.

Surprised, he quickly strode over.

"Little Zi sister!"

Little Zi, who had been hiding in the corner secretly sobbing, hurriedly halted her tears and raised her tear-streaked, reddened eyes.

"Xi?"

She was surprised too, noticing the unshed tears lingering in Xi’s eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

"Why are you crying?"

Almost in unison, they both questioned each other in confusion.

Xi’s expression froze momentarily, and then he sniffed haughtily.

"I wasn’t crying."

Saying so, he stepped his small long legs forward to stand before Little Zi, who was crouched in the corner.

She crouched, he stood, and their gazes met, but Xi’s height made him tower slightly over her.

Under the glowing sunset, their two teary, pitiful faces were inexplicably compatible.

"Little Zi sister, why were you crying?"

He asked with concern, momentarily forgetting the anger and sadness he had been feeling earlier.

Little Zi raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

Her tear-streaked, almond-shaped face was dyed crimson by the sunset. Though she felt sorrowful inside, looking at the small figure before her, she forced herself to smile slightly.

"Little Zi sister made a mistake and might be fired by Madam."

"Fired?"

"Mm."

Little Zi nodded.

Xi furrowed his handsome little brows in dissatisfaction.

"Why would Madam fire Little Zi sister? What mistake did Little Zi sister make?"

"Little Zi sister accidentally bumped into Doctor Ye, who just arrived. Her cup fell to the ground and shattered. Sister Lin said that cup was custom-ordered by Sir from abroad and costs twenty thousand yuan. This time, I caused big trouble."

"Then how did you bump into her?"

He pressed her for details.

Little Zi blinked her tearful eyes.

"I was brewing tea in the tea room as Sister Lin instructed, not realizing someone was behind me. When I turned around, I accidentally bumped into Sister Lin, and then Sister Lin unintentionally bumped into Doctor Ye."

"So it wasn’t even Little Zi sister’s fault at all!"

Xi decisively concluded.

"I’ll go talk to Chuxi’s dad. No one is allowed to fire my Little Zi sister!"

He swore earnestly, spinning around, but immediately hesitating as he turned.

He was still mad at Xinxin and Chuxi’s dad. Wouldn’t going now mean he was admitting defeat?

Seeing the little guy’s serious demeanor, Little Zi quickly rose and stepped up to him.

"Thank you, Xi, but let it be. After all, it really was me who bumped into Sister Lin, which caused her to bump into Doctor Ye. Let’s not trouble Young Master Mo with this—it’s important to take responsibility for mistakes."

"But Little Zi sister didn’t do anything wrong!"

Xi gazed at her seriously, a resolute determination in his eyes that was rare for a five-year-old.

"Little Zi sister is beautiful, gentle, and so kind. Plus, Little Zi sister is Xi’s good friend. Xi won’t allow those overbearing people to bully Little Zi sister."

Hearing his words, Little Zi froze in a daze, her cheeks inexplicably growing warm.

"Xi..."

Touched, she stared into the pure, steadfast eyes before her, and suddenly, all her grievances seemed to vanish.

"Xi, thank you. No one has ever treated Little Zi sister this well."

"Then Xi promises Little Zi sister, I’ll always treat you well! Except, except my favorite person will still be my Xinxin, though!"

He made his promise with the air of a grown man, suddenly extending his fair little hand to wipe the tears from the corner of Little Zi’s eye.

"Little Zi sister, don’t cry anymore. Xi will protect you."

Little Zi felt warmth blossom in her chest.

"Xi, thank you..."

"Little Zi, what are you doing! How dare you try to deceive Xi, Young Master!"

Out of nowhere, Sister Lin appeared, storming forward to grab Little Zi’s hand and drag her away.

"Come with me to see Madam!"
