"Be good, Xiaolu."
Yang Fan coaxed him softly:
"Daddy will call your brother back, all right?"
"But my brother won't play with me." Yang Chenglu kept sobbing, his little face full of grievance.
"He even thinks I'm annoying!"
"He wouldn't dare!"
Yang Fan's expression turned stern.
"Chengye is old enough now. As your older brother, he should naturally take responsibility for looking after you."
"I'll contact him in a moment."
At that, Yang Chenglu immediately stopped crying. "Then Daddy has to keep his word."
"Of course." Yang Fan nodded.
He had finally managed to soothe this little tyrant.
Yang Fan then took out his wristwatch and sent Gu Chengye his coordinates through Feixun.
Afterward, his consciousness entered the Virtual World directly.
Before long, Gu Chengye appeared in the Virtual World.
"Dad, I'm on my way to Xiling Star."
"What did you suddenly call me for?"
Yang Fan looked at him. "Get back here right now."
"Huh?"
Gu Chengye froze. "Why?"
"To look after your little brother."
Yang Fan answered as though it went without saying.
Gu Chengye's eyes immediately widened.
"Wait... that's my job too?"
Yang Fan waved a hand.
"Play with your little brother, and I'll increase your monthly allowance by a thousand Divinity Points."
"Deal!"
Almost the instant Yang Fan finished speaking, Gu Chengye shot up from his seat.
"You got it!"
"I'll arrange the return trip right away!"
Having said that, before Yang Fan could even react,
Gu Chengye's consciousness exited the Virtual World.
Watching the figure disappear instantly before him, Yang Fan was stunned.
"..."
Why did it feel...
Like something wasn't quite right?
Why had that brat reacted as though he'd been waiting here specifically for me to name a price?
Yang Fan frowned and thought it over for a long while, but eventually
