The little girl wore a halter dress and a little cap on her head.

In front of her were the servants from the Wen family.

None of the servants dared to oppose Jian Yiling’s words. They were scared of making her cry.

“Miss Yiling, please wait here. We will climb the tree and pick the berries for you, okay?”

“Yep, yep. Miss Yiling, we will pick the berries for you,” someone else quickly echoed.

“No no no!” Jian Yiling cried out as she shook her head like a rattle: “I want to pick them by myself!”

After saying that, she climbed onto the tree.

.

Just watching her made the servants feel incredibly nervous. After all, her slim arms and legs appeared quite fragile and weak.

Not after long, Jian Yiling reached a tree branch. She smiled before she declared: “See! I’m amazing!”

Then, she reached out to pick the bayberries.

One by one.

As her hand was too small, she could only hold two to three berries in her palm.

As Jian Yiling was focused on picking bayberries, she did not watch where she was stepping. As a result, she misstepped and plummeted from the branch.

“Ahh——”

The expected pain did not come. Instead, she landed on a soft body.

Jian Yiling froze and turned around. She found her cousin Wen Yan underneath her.

At the moment Jian Yiling fell, Wen Yan rushed over and caught her.

However, he was only twelve years old. As a result, he did not have much strength. Therefore, as he caught Jian Yiling, he himself fell to the ground.

As the two of them hit the ground, Jian Yiling was well protected by Wen Yan. As a result, she did not get injured.

However, Wen Yan got injured.

“Brother Wen Yan…” Jian Yiling whispered. She was stunned.

“Are you okay?” Wen Yan asked in a soft voice.

“I’m okay…”

“Are you in pain anywhere?”

“No…”

“That’s good then,” Wen Yan said as he smiled at Jian Yiling.

After that, the Wen family’s doctor hurriedly arrived to the scene.

After giving Jian Yiling a checkup, the doctor determined that she was okay. However, Wen Yan was not so fortunate. His arm suffered a fracture.

Upon hearing this news, Jian Yiling began to cry.

“Why are you crying?” Wen Yan asked.

“Because… Your arm is broken… I broke Brother Wen Yan’s arm…” Jian Yiling sobbed.

The little girl realized that she had caused Wen Yan’s arm to fracture.

“It’s alright. It will heal by itself,” Wen Yan explained to Jian Yiling.

“It hurts right? I caused you a lot of pain right?”

“No, it’s fine,” Wen Yan replied. In an attempt to soothe her, Wen Yan used his uninjured hand to gently pat Jian Yiling on the head.

“It’s my fault… I shouldn’t have climbed the tree…”

The five-year-old girl was regretting her decision.

Jian Yiling did not stop crying.

As Wen Nuan was unable to comfort her daughter, she could only contact Jian Yunmo.

Jian Yunmo rushed over. By the time he arrived, it was already midnight.

During this time, Jian Yiling kept sobbing.

When she saw her second brother, Jian Yiling rushed over to hug him: “Brother Yunmo… I did something bad… Yiling misbehaved…”

Then, she continued to cry on Jian Yunmo’s shoulder.

Jian Yunmo gently patted the little girl’s back before he whispered comfortingly:

“Mhmm, you did something wrong. However, there’s no use in crying. We need to remember this mistake. This mistake must not be made again. In the future, you shouldn’t climb trees by yourself again.”

“Mhmm, I won’t do that again. I won’t climb trees again…”

“Then don’t cry anymore okay?”

“But… But… I broke Brother Wen Yan’s arm…”

“Then you should go and apologize to Brother Wen Yan. After that, you need to take good care of him.”
