After I Traveled Through Time, My Gentle Brother Turned Dark - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The moment the Dog Emperor arrived at the side hall, several stunning beauties immediately pressed themselves against him.

Even if this man looked like my brother, there was no way he could be my brother. My brother had been an excellent student, gentle and kind-the complete opposite of this tyrant.

He ate a grape one of the beauties fed him and said carelessly, “Transmigrators, how do you know the name Meng Qingran?”

I answered obediently, “Meng Qingran is my brother.”

He froze. Then he pushed away the woman beside him, strode over, and pulled me into his arms.

“Ranran?”

My mind went completely blank. I couldn’t tell whether I was happy or sad.

This Dog Emperor really was my brother. But how had my gentle older brother become like this?

The Dog Emperor hugged me and cried. His shoulders shook so hard that for a moment, I had no idea what to do.

“Brother…” I called out softly.

He gave a muffled hum, then cried even harder.

I sighed and patted his back like I was coaxing a child.

I was clearly the one who should be crying. He had just been bullying me, and now I was the one comforting him.

When he finally cried himself out, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and looked at me with a smile. “We haven’t seen each other in ten years, and our Ranran has grown into a young lady. You’re just a little uglier than when you were a kid.”

I rolled my eyes. “My soul transmigrated, okay?”

Like he knew anything.

Meng Qingran’s expression stiffened slightly. Clearly, only then did it occur to him why I might have transmigrated in the first place.

He stammered, “So… you… died?”

I answered vaguely, “Probably.”

Whether I was alive or dead was honestly still uncertain.

After all, after I was hit by the car, I lost consciousness almost immediately. When I opened my eyes again, I was here.

Meng Qingran put an arm around my shoulders and patted me. “It’s fine. Your brother is here now. I’ll make sure you live in luxury and stay a princess for the rest of your life.”

The word princess made my heart sting.

When I was little, I loved watching Barbie Princess movies and dreamed of becoming a princess myself.

Even on the day he went to buy the cake, I kept reminding him over and over that he had to buy the kind of cake only a princess could eat.

“Meng Qingran.”

I called his name, and he looked at me gently, the same way he used to.

The tears I had been holding back for so long finally spilled over.

I said in a low voice, “Brother, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have made you go buy that cake. I don’t want to be a princess. I just want you to come home.”

Meng Qingran rubbed my head and murmured, “Silly girl.”

I knew he couldn’t go back. If he could, he wouldn’t have been stuck here for ten whole years.

Meng Qingran really did make me a princess.

A mere maid had suddenly become the Guardian Princess. Nothing like this had ever happened since the founding of the dynasty.

My current identity was the emperor’s biological younger sister, the illegitimate daughter the Late Emperor had lost track of outside the palace.

Most people would try to hide an illegitimate daughter, but he actually gave me the highest-ranking title.

Those so-called upright officials even declared that they would dash their heads against the pillars in the main hall to show that they refused to accept me.
