In a flash, Lisa had run over, and fussed over Minnie. Thankfully her little sister hadn't actually gotten injured, otherwise she would have immediately burst into tears.

She turned her head, and her dark round eyes glared at Sooyoung angrily.

Sooyoung guiltily looked back at her, before her eyes turned to Ten, and not knowing where to put her hands, she said, "I didn't, I didn't do it on purpose..."

Ten expressionlessly asked, "What exactly did Minnie do wrong to provoke Second Miss Gao's displeasure?"

If he hadn't come at that exact moment, Minnie would have struck the fake mountain. She was only three years old, if something had happened to her, how would he explain it to his parents? Only such a poisonous and cruel person would actually harm such a small child.

Sooyoung had finally found him after so long, yet she'd never thought that they would meet like that.

As she was already eight years-old, she already knew quite a bit.

She started to regret her earlier actions; if she'd known that he was coming earlier, she would've been nicer to Minnie... Afraid that her standing would drop in his eyes, she immediately started making excuses, saying,

"She wanted to see my hairpin, but this was the birthday present that Jaehyun gave to me. I was afraid that she would break it, so I didn't let her see...Later on she wanted to snatch it away, so I accidentally pushed her..."

Although Minnie was still crying, her ears were still sensitive, and hearing this she immediately raised her head, saying, "Big brother I didn't snatch it, I didn't..."

Ten looked to her, and used his hand to gently wipe away her tears, asking, "You wanted her hairpin?"

Minnie's face was full of tears and snot as she nodded, face full of grievances.

Ten didn't mean to blame her one bit, and gently patted her little bun, saying, "It's nothing, tomorrow Big Brother will get a prettier one for you. Ah Minnie already is pretty, so you should have an even prettier hairpin."

The underlying meaning of his words was that Sooyoung's hairpin didn't look good enough.

Sooyoung flushed, his words were even more humiliating than a direct admonishment. She immediately felt embarrassed, before she'd dressed up so well, yet he hadn't even taken a second glance at her.

After he'd comforted Minnie, Ten looked at her again, his expression returning to his usual peaceful one. "This is Kwon fu, and this is Ah Minnie's house, since Second Miss Gao came as a guest, you should follow proper etiquette. If you don't know this, then you shouldn't come next time."

Despite his young age, Ten was extremely protective of his younger sisters. They were his two baby sisters, if any short-sighted person bullied them, then he wouldn't be polite.

Sooyoung was a prime example of this. She'd been excessively spoiled by her family, and there'd been numerous people who fell at her feet. After being scolded so harshly, her anger and humiliation lead to her spitting out one sentence. "What's so good about coming, if I can't come then I won't come!"

Saying this she tossed her head back and ran out of the courtyard.

From afar the two children playing on the swings saw their sister running, and didn't think much about it, continuing to play.

Having witnessed the entire scene play out, Jaehyun apologised on behalf of his sister, saying, "I'm really sorry, when I go back home I'll report this to my family elders so that they can talk to her."

Ten didn't reply, and carried Minnie outside. As he turned around he said to Lisa, "I'll bring Minnie home first, Little Lamb, you should also be careful not to hurt yourself."
