Chapter 469: 469, don’t call me brother, call me brother-in-law instead
Chu Xiuhuang’s 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.
“This is…your little sister?” Chu Xiuhuang raised his long eyebrows.
He had expected a chubby little girl, but was surprised…
“She looks quite like you,” Chu Xiuhuang immediately added.
He had seen Shi Huan without glasses before, and this little girl’s face and eyes seemed to be carved from the same mold.
Shi Huan pursed her lips, “Mr. Chu, could you put out your cigarette?”
“…” 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 weren’t for the fact that the little girl looked quite lovely, he wouldn’t have done it.
“Huanhuan, is he a bad person?” Little Luoluo’s soft voice rang out.
Shi Huan tried to suppress a laugh, “Don’t be afraid, he’s my boss.”
“Boss?” Little Luoluo looked at Chu Xiuhuang, feeling that he didn’t seem like a good person.
Also, what’s a boss?
“Just call him uncle.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang immediately wore a stern face, “Call me brother.”
This time it was Shi Huan’s turn to wear a stern face.
He’s already in his thirties and he feels no shame in having a five-year-old child call him ‘brother’?
“Call him uncle.” So, she quickly said again.
Who knew…
“Call me brother.”
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, “Little Huanhuan, is this how you treat your guests?”
Speaking of guests, Shi Huan frowned immediately, “Mr. Chu, how did you come? Your condition…”
“I’m in good health, didn’t I tell you as long as you don’t touch me, I’m fine.” Chu Xiuhuang spoke very straightforwardly.
The hair on Shi Huan’s scalp stood on end, “Can you be a little more considerate with your choice of words? There’s a child present.”
“What’s there to be afraid of, she wouldn’t understand anyway.” After saying that, Chu Xiuhuang took a glance at little Luoluo.
Shi Huan: “…”
Forget it.
She walked over, unlocked the door, “Mr. Chu, I don’t have any extra slippers at home, you…”
“I’ll wear yours.” Chu Xiuhuang promptly replied.
“You won’t fit into mine.”
“That’s alright, I’ll make do.”
Shi Huan was at a loss for words, “Then what do I wear?”
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 couldn’t help but let his gaze fall on the little girl again, and began to grumble inwardly.
This… isn’t this little girl quite good at taking care of herself?
Chu Xiuhuang couldn’t help but give Shi Huan another look.
This secretary of the Shi family was simply a little swindler!
Shi Huan was inexplicably looked at, she put down the ingredients in her hand and opened her mouth to speak, “Mr. Chu, let me go to the supermarket downstairs to buy you a pair of slippers.”
“No need.” Chu Xiuhuang directly took off his leather shoes and walked in, “Someone will be sending them over soon.”
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 bag…
“Mr. Chu, why did you buy so many things?”
Is it just for eating dumplings? Why does it feel like he’s planning to stay here?
Chu Xiuhuang settled down on the sofa, “Don’t mind me, just get on with making the dumplings.”
“Oh.” 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 family’s debts, she hadn’t managed to save much money. However, having this house gave her a sense of security in this city.
The little dwelling wasn’t luxurious, but every object in it was prepared by her.
At first, she thought that she’d 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 didn’t 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, “Mr. Chu, please take a seat.”
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 girl’s soft voice called out, “Uncle, let me help you cut it.”
The corner of Chu Xiuhuang’s mouth twitched as he turned to look at her.
If it weren’t for her looking pretty cute, he’d have been tempted to give a kick to any annoying brats who couldn’t stop talking.
“Call me brother,” he instructed.
Little Luoluo blinked her eyes, “But Huanhuan told me to call you uncle.”
“What’s Huanhuan to you?” Chu Xiuhuang suddenly asked.
Luoluo obediently answered, “Huanhuan is my sister.”
Chu Xiuhuang grinned in satisfaction, then whispered, “Your sister likes me.”
Little Luoluo opened her mouth in surprise.
“Now you know what you should call me, right?” Chu Xiuhuang was delighted, “Call me brother.”
Little Luoluo looked at him.
Somehow, she felt like she couldn’t utter the word “brother”.
“It’s okay if you don’t call me brother.” Chu Xiuhuang’s smile grew mischievous, “You can call me brother-in-law.”
Luoluo blinked her eyes then turned away.
Something seems to be wrong with this uncle’s brain.
