Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Not long after, Su Su came out of the kitchen with an exquisite strawberry cream cake in her hands. The servants behind Su Su praised her sincerely, “Young Miss Su is so clever and skillful!”

“Yes, she did great considering that this is her first time. She’s amazing!”

Su Su was filled with happiness and satisfaction. She put one short leg in front of the other and was ready to go upstairs to look for Su Jun.

“What do you have there?” Su Qiao suddenly appeared from the sidelines and stood in Su Su’s way with an unfriendly expression on his face.

“It’s a cake I made for Big Brother.” Su Su subconsciously protected the cake in her hands and replied softly.

Su Qiao had always been jealous of his big brother. He had a bad temper, and Su Su was distraught that Su Qiao would ruin the cake if he got provoked.

“Oh, I see.”

Su Qiao noticed that Su Su was subconsciously protecting the cake, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. However, he didn’t say or do anything else. He simply moved aside and made way for Su Su.

Seeing that Su Qiao didn’t intend to pester her, Su Su let out a sigh of relief. She smiled sweetly at Su Qiao and then happily walked up the stairs.

Unexpectedly, just as Su Su took a step forward, she suddenly tripped on something that was sticking out from under her feet, and she suddenly lost her balance.

“Ah!” Su Su cried out in shock and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

“Young Miss Su!” The servants behind Su Su also cried out in shock. Although they rushed forward to try and catch Su Su, they could not stop her from falling.

Su Su fell to the ground along with the cake. The beautiful strawberry cream cake was smashed.

Su Su looked at the cake that was smashed on the ground. She had worked so hard to make this cake so she could lift Su Jun’s spirits. Su Su was utterly disappointed that she didn’t even get the chance to show her big brother what the cake looked like.

Su Qiao saw that the little girl was pouting, almost bursting into tears, so he withdrew his foot with disdain.

‘Bah! Big Brother wouldn’t have eaten the cake even if you gave it to him. You might as well just throw it away!’

Chen Shun heard the commotion and rushed over as soon as he heard the noise. He saw the mess on the ground. Su Su was still lying on the ground in a daze, while Su Qiao stood by the sidelines and watched in disdain. Chen Shun immediately understood what had happened.

Butler Chen quickly went forward to help Su Su. Chen Shun frowned and said earnestly, “Fifth Master Su, you really shouldn’t have done this. Young Miss Su will be sad, and so will Young Master Su.”

Since Chen Shun, who had always been respected in the Su family home, had said this, Su Qiao did not refute, which was rare. Instead, Su Qiao sat on a chair at the sidelines, ready to watch Su Su cry.

“Young Miss Su, did you hurt yourself when you fell?” Chen Shun asked with concern as he looked at the little girl who was teary-eyed and had an aggrieved expression.

Su Su still managed to hold back her tears, but when Chen Shun asked her if she was okay, she lost control and could not stop her tears from rolling down her face. She answered while sobbing, “I’m fine, Uncle Chen. I made that cake for Big Brother…”

Looking at the mess of a cake on the ground, Su Su could not hold it in anymore and burst into tears.

Perhaps it was because the Su Su of the future was currently in a child’s body. When Su Su cried, her body twitched and trembled frantically. She could not stop, no matter how hard she tried.

When Su Qiao saw Su Su crying uncontrollably, he rolled his eyes. He initially thought he could get away with this, but not anymore.

Su Qiao had caused Su Su to cry hysterically. If Su Jun saw this, he would skin Su Qiao alive.

Su Qiao straightened his back and waited for Su Jun to arrive and unleash his wrath.

Sure enough, Su Jun heard Su Su Su’s cries and quickly ran downstairs. He anxiously picked up the crying Su Su and patted her back to comfort her, “Don’t cry, Su Su. Big Brother is here. I will protect you. Don’t cry, okay?”

Although Su Su didn’t want to cry, she couldn’t control herself at this moment. She could only sob and explain, “B-Big Brother… T-The cake… I-It fell…”

Su Jun looked at the cake on the ground and frowned. He asked, “Did someone trip you?”

In an instant, Su Jun fiercely glared at Su Qiao, whose expression was undoubtedly suspicious.

Su Qiao trembled under Su Jun’s gaze, yet he managed to suppress the guilt and fear in his heart and stared back without hesitation.

Su Qiao was confident that his big brother would not beat him to death no matter how angry he got.

When Su Su saw that Su Jun was about to lose his temper and unleash his rage upon Su Qiao, she tugged at her big brother’s sleeve, “No, Big Brother, I fell all on my own. I made a cake for Big Brother, but I tripped and dropped it. I’m crying because I’m disappointed that you couldn’t taste the cake.”

‘Su Su didn’t expose me to Big Brother?!’ Su Qiao’s eyes widened..
