Over in the corner of the courtyard, Duo Duo was a complete, sobbing mess in Shen Mochen's arms.
Her big, tear-filled eyes were fixed on the sight of her furry puppy-brothers getting ready to board with Auntie Su.
The realization hit her all at once: she was going to be left all alone once again!
How could her tiny heart accept this?! She didn't want to stay in this big, quiet place by herself. She wanted to go with them!
Aside from her father and her Uncle An Mo, she didn't have any playmates in the Upper Domain, and now even Uncle An Mo was following Auntie Su to the lower domain!
What was she supposed to do now?
Duo Duo kicked her tiny legs and wailed hysterically, her little fists clutching her father's robes.
Shen Mochen knew that if his daughter stayed here watching the carriage pack up for even a second longer, her heart would break completely. Seeing her cry like this shattered his own soul into a thousand pieces.
