Return to the Noble Family, Eight Brothers Exclusively Dote On Me

Xiao Xi is a pitiful little girl who was abandoned. She could only survive by scavenging tr*sh and living in a shack.

One day, a distinguished and aloof CEO, with red eyes, said: “You are m...

Chapter 40 Peril (1/2)

Xiaoxi just said she would take Cao Dabao to visit her home, but Cao Dabao wasn't cooperating, so she wouldn't give him a friendly welcome.

Xiao Xi led Cao Dabao to a room on the first floor.

This room has simple furniture and a bathroom, and it's larger than the master bedroom in many city homes.

“Brother Da Bao, you can stay here. This is where Aunt Ning used to live.”

"What? You're letting me stay in the servants' quarters?"

"Hey, aren't you currently a male servant?"

"Little bean! You wish!"

Cao Dabao threw his suitcase aside and was about to rush out the door.

Xiaoxi immediately locked the door from the inside.

"What are you trying to do?" Cao Dabao roared.

"I'll teach you manners!"

"Little bean, you think you can take that?"

Cao Dabao revealed his true colors, arrogant and unruly, looking down at the little girl who wasn't even as tall as his waist.

Xiaoxi wiped her face and stopped smiling.

With a blank expression and a firm tone, he said, "First of all, my name isn't Little Bean, Cao Dabao, don't push your luck!"

From now on, call me Grandma. In this family, I'm the boss!

Xiaoxi saw a stainless steel water cup on the table, picked it up, and gently squeezed it with her two little hands.

The stainless steel cup instantly transformed into a stainless steel ball.

Cao Dabao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock: Holy crap, what's going on? Why am I getting so creeped out?

"Cao Dabao, I'm giving you ten minutes to take a shower and change your clothes, you know? You're all covered in sweat!"

See you in the lobby in ten minutes! If you're late, I'm taking this door down!

Xiaoxi glanced at her watch and left the room.

Cao Dabao snapped out of his daze and looked at the stainless steel ball on the table.

"Oh my god... ah..."

He thought the cup was made of some special material, and Xiaoxi was just teasing him. But it was a bit heavy, and he accidentally dropped it, hitting his foot.

Cao Dabao dared not delay and quickly packed his things to change.

Even so, we almost went over time.

In just ten minutes, Xiaoxi had already written down the rules and regulations, clearly listing the things to do each day, as well as the rewards and punishments.

Ye Wentao remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Ye Wentao took Cao Dabao to a nearby supermarket, meaning that they should come there to buy meat and daily necessities from now on.

When they returned, Xiaoxi told Cao Dabao how to manage the vegetable garden.

Then she went to the kitchen to familiarize herself with the recipes, and gave him the ones that Xiaoxi had learned on her own, asking him to follow them.

Cao Dabao cursed inwardly, but dared not show it.

He wasn't allowed to sit idle after that, because Aunt Ning had gone back home, and the empty rooms in the house were all covered in dust.

Ye Wentao cooked today's meal.

Cao Dabao thought he could finally relax in the evening, but Ye Wentao came to his room and gave him a two-hour lecture.

It was a spiritual baptism.

He also threatened that if he didn't satisfy Xiaoxi in the future, the ideological education would not stop.

What kind of day was Cao Dabao's?

He was exhausted, lying in bed, covered by the blanket, crying until he fell asleep, unaware that he was a guest in a foreign land.

He felt like he hadn't slept long when a loud knocking woke him up, leaving him bewildered as he faced reality.

Xiaoxi gets up early, so he can forget about sleeping; he has to make breakfast.

When Xiaoxi and the others came back in the evening, Cao Dabao deliberately made the dishes too salty.

Xiaoxi casually remarked.

"You think I can't handle you? You're wasting my vegetables, I'll cook them again! If you don't want to be a decent human being, then you're not eating tonight."

And so, Cao Dabao listened to Ye Wentao's two-hour-long ideological education lecture.

I cried again before bed, I was hungry.

Xiaoxi is very hypocritical.

When the older brother next door, Yan Mu, came to pick up the groceries, Xiao Xi's voice was sweet and her smile was so sunny.

As for Cao Dabao, who was working hard in the vegetable garden, a shout would make him tremble.

Half a month passed like this.

That day, Ye Wentao happened to have an impromptu meeting that evening and didn't go home. Suddenly, he received a call from Xiaoxi.
