Sun Ma was overjoyed to see Gu Yun Ting return. When she saw the child beside him, who bore a striking resemblance to both Ye Wan and the young master, she was so moved she almost cried. It took her a while to regain her voice, "Young Master, is this... little miss?"
"Yes, Tuan Tuan is my daughter, and from now on, she is the little miss of this place." Gu Yun Ting looked tenderly at the little figure beside him, his eyes and brows filled with a smile.
"That's wonderful, truly wonderful! Then what about Ye Wan? When will she return?" Sun Ma asked about Ye Wan, looking at Tuan Tuan with affection.
"Did my mommy live here before?" Ye Tuan Tuan asked curiously.
"Yes, your mother lived here since she was very young. She was barely older than you when she came to the Gu residence," Sun Ma explained with a smile.
Gu Yun Ting's expression darkened for a moment. He also wished Ye Wan would return soon, but now that she had seen her own shortcomings, she would likely be even less inclined to come back.
Just then, a colossal figure roared and charged out, heading straight for Ye Tuan Tuan. Sun Ma was startled and, fearing the beast would frighten the little miss, quickly reprimanded, "Ju Zuo, no fooling around! You'll scare the little miss!"
Ye Tuan Tuan's eyes widened in surprise. Looking at the enormous tiger, she suddenly found this place incredibly cool. They actually kept tigers here!
Gu Yun Ting also frowned, looking at the large creature. This was a pet Ye Wan had raised since she was little. He naturally treated it very well, allowing it to roam freely in the Gu residence, providing it with delicious food and drinks daily, and assigning two full-time caretakers to manage its meals and daily life.
But what if it scared his daughter...
Just as everyone expected Ye Tuan Tuan to be frightened into tears by the tiger, Ju Zuo suddenly stopped in front of her, lay down, and rolled over, exposing its belly and playfully seeking attention.
Ye Tuan Tuan giggled with delight, crouched down, and petted Ju Zuo's belly, exclaiming, "It's so soft and cute!!"
Seeing this, Gu Yun Ting breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Ma looked at the cute and playful giant in astonishment, "It recognizes little miss? Ju Zuo has been here for so long, and no one could touch it. Even I would get bitten if I tried, and its caretakers dare not handle it. I never expected it to willingly let little miss touch it! This is truly magical!"
Ju Zuo was somewhat of a tyrant in the Gu residence. It only gave Sun Ma a little face. Of course, it listened to Gu Yun Ting, but it paid no attention to anyone else. Ju Zuo was also intelligent, as if it knew who its master was and whom it could ignore.
"Its name is Ju Zuo? It's really very cute, I like it," Ye Tuan Tuan said, smiling happily.
"Little miss, this is your mother's pet. It was... your father who gave it to her to raise. Ju Zuo has missed your mother dearly all these years. Your heartless mother hasn't come back to see it, leaving it to long for her," Sun Ma couldn't help but complain.
"Wow, this is mommy's pet? That's so cool! Daddy, can you give me one too?" Tuan Tuan also wanted a pet, a pet as cool as this one.
"Of course, I'll give you anything you want. If you want the stars in the sky, I'll pick them for you," Gu Yun Ting wasn't joking. For his daughter, he would give her anything she desired.
"Thank you, Daddy." Tuan Tuan jumped for joy. With Ju Zuo, Tuan Tuan would not be bored. She led the big tiger around, occasionally stroking its head. Ju Zuo was also very obedient, allowing her to pet it.
Sun Ma was now in charge of the Gu residence, and there were many servants. Everyone knew that the young master's daughter, their residence's little miss, had returned. Everyone was very curious about the little miss. Seeing that the girl could tame the tiger that no one dared to provoke filled them with wonder.
