Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chen Villa.

After dealing with Cai Lingyun and learning the truth of Guiying's mental condition, his next aim was to help her in any way possible to heal the trauma she suffered.

But how? This was the question bugging Zixin since he learned the truth.

The best path was to take Guiying to Jack Si, who could provide his guidance on what to do next. That's what Ai wished to do as well.

But once again, how?

After a deep thought, he texted Guiying to meet him at some place. When he stepped out, he bumped his way into Yunru.

"Bro!" He grinned with his usual beaming face.

Zixin blinked and asked, "You seem to be in a happy mood today. Extra happy if I may say."

Yunru scratched his head. "I-It's nothing! I am just…"

"Going to meet his girlfriend~" his twin sister Yubi teased.

Yunru smacked her on the head with a furious blushing expression. "I told you so many times that she is n-not my girlfriend!"

Yubi snorted. "Don't lie to me! Ever since you came back from Shanghai, you have been frequently meeting up with her. And don't you deny it because my reliable sources say that you have been skipping work at Sky!"

Zixin raised his brow. "Is that so?"

Yunru pointed his trembling finger at her. "Y-you…you are speaking nonsense! Bro, believe me!" He grabbed his hand and widened his watery eyes, "Your little brother is very responsible. I-I have not been slacking at all."

Yubi folded her arms as if a cop was interrogating a suspect. "So tell us the reasons for your frequent meetings. This judge will determine whether you are guilty or not!"

"I…have been just trying to help her."

"Help?"

He cleared his throat. "Huan wants to write a new story, and I was just giving her some suggestions. To be honest, her family and also the Shi Publishing's situation is going quite downhill. Once the news of her new story will be out, it will help give that boost and she won't be so troubled…" he pursed his lips.

Yubi giggled. "That's just means you are treating her in a special way~"

His face reddened. "I-I-I am not doing anything like that…"

Zixin patted his head. "It's good that you are helping her."

"See!" He gave a victorious look to Yubi. "Bro understands me the best!

Yubi rolled her eyes.

"But you should be careful. Shi Huan is your friend, but she also works for a company who is a rival to Sky. You are the President of Sky so professionally, if you involve yourself too much, it might cause conflict between the two companies in the future. Your important position at Sky makes your relationship with Shi Huan a little delicate."

Zixin was aware that he had been helping Guiying as well, who belonged to Dream High, another rival of Sky. But he was conscious to limit his support, considering that Jun was Sky's CEO. He wasn't directly related to Sky or Dream High in any way, so he had some place to help Guiying.

But Yunru's position and situation was different.

Yunru quickly said to wash away his worries. "Y-Yes, Bro! I understand my position at Sky. I promise there won't be any trouble."

Zixin nodded. "Good. I will take my leave then."

'Guiying' was casually eating her ice cream in the park as made herself comfortable on the bench.

Wonder why Chen Zixin called me? 'She' thought as she popped a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.

If this is about her story again, then I will need to bring this idiot out.

"Big brother! Pass the ball here!" A little girl giggled as she waved her hand to an older boy she was playing with.

Her brother kicked the ball and passed it to her, but she missed passing it back to him.

"Aish! Kick the ball like I told you before," he taught her the game, putting his hands on his waist. He patiently showed the way to play with the ball to his little sister, giggling and laughing.

As they played again, the girl's slipper slipped from her foot as she ran, making her stumble. The boy facepalmed and sighed. He fetched her slipper and walked back to his sister, slipping it back in her foot. "Be careful silly or you will hurt yourself. If you lose your slipper, then I won't help you with Mom's scolding hehe."

She pouted. "I will just say that big brother played a prank on me and lost my slipper!"

"..."

He pinched her chubby cheeks. "How could you see your big brother in trouble? She will punish me with washing the dishes for the whole week!"

"Hehe…"

He ruffled her hair and laughed along with her.

'Guiying' stared at the sibling pair and listened to their interaction in silence. Her unreadable gaze couldn't be deciphered.

"Your ice-cream is melting."

'Guiying's' stupor broke, and she lifted her gaze to see Zixin standing beside her. 'She' looked back in her ice-cream cup and found that the chocolate scoop had turned into a milkshake. "Oh yeah…"

Zixin quietly sat beside her. From afar, he had already noticed her staring intently at the kids. He softly said, "They are cute, aren't they?"

'She' threw him a sideway glance. "They are cute because they are blessed with luck. When you are brought up in a good family, everything feels cute and fluffy."

Zixin looked somber. "I…"

'She' raised her brow questioningly and asked a question instead which she wanted to for sometime. "What did you mean when you said that you will protect me? That evening you called me. You expressed your gratitude. You felt proud of me. Where did this come from?"

He felt his heart race. "I met Cai Lingyun that day."

'She' blinked once.

"I got to know about your childhood."

'Her' expression instantly narrowed, hinting of danger.

"And the fact that the one talking to me right now is not the Guiying who met me at the hospital outside."
