As she spoke, there was a hint of desolation in her expression, her head hung low, and her voice carried a heavy nasal tone.
"I've been looking forward to this birthday for a year. Our whole family could celebrate it like before, but now, everything has changed..."
As she spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Qi Ming watched and listened, his heart breaking for her.
Imagining the grand Qi family birthday banquet at this moment and comparing it to Miaomiao celebrating her birthday quietly here with only him as her company.
He was grateful to be here; otherwise, Miaomiao would be even more pitiful.
At the same time, he also hated himself for not being able to help Miaomiao and letting her be stranded outside.
"Miaomiao, don't be like this. Second Brother swears to you that no matter when, I'll protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."
With tear-filled eyes, Qi Miao looked at him, her face filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Second Brother."
