If it werenât for this brat then I wouldnât be so miserable!
âCanât Beat A Bug, did you not hear my words?â Bai Xiachen furrows up his lovely brows, âHe is from here on forward Xiaopengâs follower, what makes you think he can follow you home?â Turning to his friend, âXiaopeng, give him a name.â
âThisâ¦â The chubby actually crumpled up his face over this dilemma. Apparently giving someone name was too difficult of a task for this kid. But an idea did come to him after a minute of struggling: âOh I know! He insulted me before so I will use the same name for him. From now on he will be Watchdog.â
Watchdog whimpers loudly this time towards his old man. The youth wanted to plead to his father for help because he had no wish to follow the chubby back to the Wang House. Unfortunately, the newly named Canât Beat A Bug dismissed the pleading look he was getting and quickly left for the door.
It couldnât be helped. As the master of a sizable family, the former Dou Tian was sure to have more than one son. Thereâs hardly enough reason for him to go against the chiefâs command just for a son who failed him so miserably.
Watching his fatherâs fleeting back disappearing from view, Watchdog crumbles to the floor, his body paralyzed from the shock of being abandoned. Before long, two long trickles of tears slowly flowed down those bruised up cheeks before this youth turned to face the two boys.
âWhat are you look at me for?â The chubby shoots a glare in return, âI am not gay so lose that idea. Whatâs more, its not like you are any good looking. If you keep staring at me then watch how I will dig out your eyeballs.â
Watchdog instantly flinched at that threat. No longer daring to make eye contact, this former young master of the Dou House was now shaking profusely like a frightened puppyâ¦.
Of course, the chubby was only throwing some threats around for the insult he received before. Itâs not like he would really dig the other personâs eyeball out, thatâs too gross for the likes of him. Maybe a few more scares would suffice.
âWatchdog, from now on you are my follower. If I say east then you must go east. If I say west then you must go west. If I say laugh then you canât cry, understand?â
As the old saying goes, one must lower their head if living under anotherâs roof. Hearing the order, Watchdog hurriedly nodded his head to indicate he understood.
âGood, very good, now show me a smile.â Wang Xiaopeng looks down at the dog in front of himself like heâs looking at a pet.
Sadly, the act only had the alternative effect of disgusting the chubby. A pig face smiling to him, as if that would be decent to the eye? If anything, it might make him gag instead and have nightmares during the night.
âOh forget it, youâd better stick to crying lest I be scared to death by your face.â Patting his own chest, the chubby makes a face like he still hasnât recovered yet from the shock.
Ignoring the overexaggerated play his friend was making, Bai Xiachen turns to the grandpa instead. âGreat-grandfather, where is my mother?â
âOh, sheâs in the backyard with your great-grandmother.â
âOkay,â nodding at the answer, the little steambun led the way by holding hands with the little dragoness. âDragony, letâs go find Mother.â
The girl followed along without any protest as usual. A clever move by her of course. However, the chubby in the background on the other hand wasnât so happy. For some reason, heâs got this notion that heâs been abandoned by his boss.
â¦â¦
As the madam of the house, Jun Tian Yueâs birthday banquet wouldnât lose out to Bai Chang Fengâs in any way. And since they have now learned of Bai Yanâs past and who sheâs close with, the Lan family was also naturally invited, pushing this adopted family into the envious limelight for a second time.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
