Chu Xiuhuangâs gaze had already fallen on the little girl beside her.
She had two long ponytails, wore a thick beige velvet coat that reached her knees, revealing two short legs in black tights, and white short boots on her feet.
Her little oval face was fair and delicate, with a pair of distinctively black and white eyes slightly wide open, full of curiosity about him. Her small nose and mouth were both tender and exquisite, making her look adorably obedient.
âThis isâ¦your little sister?â Chu Xiuhuang raised his long eyebrows.
He had expected a chubby little girl, but was surprisedâ¦
âShe looks quite like you,â Chu Xiuhuang immediately added.
He had seen Shi Huan without glasses before, and this little girlâs face and eyes seemed to be carved from the same mold.
Shi Huan pursed her lips, âMr. Chu, could you put out your cigarette?â
ââ¦â Chu Xiuhuang glanced at the little girl, and even though he was reluctant, he threw out the cigarette butt and stomped on it twice.
If it werenât for the fact that the little girl looked quite lovely, he wouldnât have done it.
âHuanhuan, is he a bad person?â Little Luoluoâs soft voice rang out.
Shi Huan tried to suppress a laugh, âDonât be afraid, heâs my boss.â
âBoss?â Little Luoluo looked at Chu Xiuhuang, feeling that he didnât seem like a good person.
Also, whatâs a boss?
âJust call him uncle.â
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang immediately wore a stern face, âCall me brother.â
This time it was Shi Huanâs turn to wear a stern face.
Heâs already in his thirties and he feels no shame in having a five-year-old child call him âbrotherâ?
âCall him uncle.â So, she quickly said again.
Who knewâ¦
âCall me brother.â
With her big eyes wide open, little Luoluo was overwhelmed in confusion for a moment.
Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, looking rather displeased at Shi Huan, âLittle Huanhuan, is this how you treat your guests?â
Speaking of guests, Shi Huan frowned immediately, âMr. Chu, how did you come? Your conditionâ¦â
âIâm in good health, didnât I tell you as long as you donât touch me, Iâm fine.â Chu Xiuhuang spoke very straightforwardly.
The hair on Shi Huanâs scalp stood on end, âCan you be a little more considerate with your choice of words? Thereâs a child present.â
âWhatâs there to be afraid of, she wouldnât understand anyway.â After saying that, Chu Xiuhuang took a glance at little Luoluo.
Shi Huan: ââ¦â
Forget it.
She walked over, unlocked the door, âMr. Chu, I donât have any extra slippers at home, youâ¦â
âIâll wear yours.â Chu Xiuhuang promptly replied.
âYou wonât fit into mine.â
âThatâs alright, Iâll make do.â
Shi Huan was at a loss for words, âThen what do I wear?â
Meanwhile, Shi Luoluo had already put on her little pink slippers, put down her backpack, took off her coat, put on her cute little uniform, wobbled on her short legs to the water dispenser, poured herself a glass of water, returned to the sofa, and sat there quietly drinking her water.
Chu Xiuhuang couldnât help but let his gaze fall on the little girl again, and began to grumble inwardly.
This⦠isnât this little girl quite good at taking care of herself?
Chu Xiuhuang couldnât help but give Shi Huan another look.
This secretary of the Shi family was simply a little swindler!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shi Huan was inexplicably looked at, she put down the ingredients in her hand and opened her mouth to speak, âMr. Chu, let me go to the supermarket downstairs to buy you a pair of slippers.â
âNo need.â Chu Xiuhuang directly took off his leather shoes and walked in, âSomeone will be sending them over soon.â
Thankfully, he had the foresight.
Shi Huan nodded her head.
Sure enough, just as she had put things into the small kitchen, there came a knock on the door.
Shi Huan quickly came out.
Only to find that Chu Xiuhuang had brought in a huge bagâ¦
âMr. Chu, why did you buy so many things?â
Is it just for eating dumplings? Why does it feel like heâs planning to stay here?
Chu Xiuhuang settled down on the sofa, âDonât mind me, just get on with making the dumplings.â
âOh.â Shi Huan frowned.
She felt uncomfortable seeing him sitting so comfortably and casually in her living room.
She bought this house early on, when this property development had just started selling. It happened to be the end of the year and she had received a substantial dividend from Mr. Chu. She made a bold decision and used it all to buy this house.
For all these years, because of constantly repaying her familyâs debts, she hadnât managed to save much money. However, having this house gave her a sense of security in this city.
The little dwelling wasnât luxurious, but every object in it was prepared by her.
At first, she thought that sheâd be living alone, so she bought furniture that was particularly practical and sufficient for one person.
After little Luoluo came, because she was just a five-year-old child, Shi Huan didnât feel anything was amiss.
But now that Chu Xiuhuang had entered, Shi Huan suddenly felt the house was too small and the furniture too small.
Especially the sofa, it felt like it was about to collapse under Chu Xiuhuang who was nearly 1.9 meters tall.
And then that little tea table, which she felt was quite large when she used it, seemed like a miniature table in front of Chu Xiuhuang.
Not to mention, as soon as he stood up, she felt he was nearly touching the ceiling.
Shi Huan felt a lot of pressure and quickly said, âMr. Chu, please take a seat.â
Chu Xiuhuang looked at her, then sat back down again.
He wanted to offer to help her wash the vegetables, but since she was so polite, he decided not to.
On the side, little Luoluo busily moved her little butt deeper into the sofa, making room for the uncle.
Chu Xiuhuang reached into the bag for the slippers, which were tied up with a nylon cord. He tugged at it for a while, and then the little girlâs soft voice called out, âUncle, let me help you cut it.â
The corner of Chu Xiuhuangâs mouth twitched as he turned to look at her.
If it werenât for her looking pretty cute, heâd have been tempted to give a kick to any annoying brats who couldnât stop talking.
âCall me brother,â he instructed.
Little Luoluo blinked her eyes, âBut Huanhuan told me to call you uncle.â
âWhatâs Huanhuan to you?â Chu Xiuhuang suddenly asked.
Luoluo obediently answered, âHuanhuan is my sister.â
Chu Xiuhuang grinned in satisfaction, then whispered, âYour sister likes me.â
Little Luoluo opened her mouth in surprise.
âNow you know what you should call me, right?â Chu Xiuhuang was delighted, âCall me brother.â
Little Luoluo looked at him.
Somehow, she felt like she couldnât utter the word âbrotherâ.
âItâs okay if you donât call me brother.â Chu Xiuhuangâs smile grew mischievous, âYou can call me brother-in-law.â
Luoluo blinked her eyes then turned away.
Something seems to be wrong with this uncleâs brain.
