Chapter 167: Chapter 167: How to snag a butler

"Where do I sleep?"

Qiao Nian and Shentu Chu stared at the only bed in the house.

"There," he motioned to the bed with his chin.

"Then you?"

"Where else?" He replied, grinning at her.

"Ah!" Qiao Nian wrapped her arms around herself protectively, eyes wide with fear.

"Just kidding. I’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight," Shentu Chu laughed, teasing her, fingers on his chin elegantly.

"Hmph!" Qiao Nian pulled the pillow away from his outstretched hand.

Shentu Chu couldn’t help but tease the little girl to get a reaction out of her. That reaction was simply too cute. Every time he sees her, it made his chest swell with inexplicable joy.

The next morning, Qiao Nian woke up to the smell of noodles and soup. So fragrance!

She washed up and found Shentu Chu leaning over the stove, cooking.

"Shentu Chu, good morning," she greeted him.

"Morning, Nian Nian!" Shentu Chu seemed to be in a good mood. He lifted the pot cover and sniffed the wonderful aroma of the soup.

"Almost ready," he

Qiao Nian

The two were like a married couple, one prepared the food, another set the table.

For a strange reason, she felt very comfortable with him. Last night, she kept an eye on her door thinking he would break into the room and force himself on her. As a result, Qiao Nian didn’t get much sleep so she yawned at the table.

"Still tired?"

"Huh?" Qiao Nian looked at the man who was attentively serving the food. She watched him prepared a bigger portion for her. He even added more veggies into her bowl.

"I didn’t sleep well last night, but it’s okay! Why is my portion bigger than yours?" She leaned over the table and frowned.

"Because you are still growing so you need to eat more," he replied.

"But I’m already an adult. Adults don’t grow," the girl protested.

"But in my heart, you will," Shentu Chu answered without much thought.

Qiao Nian blushed at his words and quietly eat her noodles. Was this counted as flirting with her?

After finishing, Shentu Chu washed the dishes. Seeing him cook and wash dishes, Qiao Nian pictured the image of a perfect house husband. Was this the real Shentu Chu? Or was he putting on an act in front of her?

"I need to go to work. Here," he put the house keys into her hands. "Look after the house. Do anything you wish,"

Then he patted her head and left. Qiao Nian looked at the keys and at the door which he left through.

Did he trust her that much?

Shentu Chu drove to the Shentu Group. But he took a detour and head towards the Shentu mansion.

"Butler Zhang! How nice to see you!" Shentu Chu suddenly appeared behind the old butler, almost startling him.

"Master Chu, what brings you here?" The butler smiled faintly. Even though he was smiling happily, he was cursing in his heart. Why did Shentu Chu come at this time?! The butler had no time to off his laptop screen.

"Nothing. I just want to discuss something with you. Why are you in my grandpa’s room?," Shentu Chu’s tone sounded ominous as if something bad was going to happen.

Hearing Shentu Chu said that made the old butler nervous. He had no idea but somehow with the way he was staring at him intently, the butler started to sweat.

"Discuss what? It’s normal for me to be in his room, I’m his butler," The butler replied weakly.

"Ah, so it’s like that! Oh, today is your birthday. You have done so much for this family and grandpa," he had a little sarcasm in his tone.

"How about you let me plan a grand surprise birthday party for you, Butler Zhang?" Shentu Chu smiled at the old butler. The old butler could sense malice dancing on those lips of his.

"Thanks, but I’m just a butler. I don’t deserve such grand birthday," Butler Zhang looked at Shentu Chu, almost emotionless.

"What’s behind your back? Can I take a look?" Shentu Chu moved to the left to look behind Butler Zhang, but he blocked his way with his body.

When Shentu Chu moved to the right, the butler followed suit.

"You look suspicious," Shentu Chu mused, his lips curling viciously.

"You’re overthinking," the butler smiled back. Then the butler moved to one side, revealing the screen of the laptop. The laptop was displaying the share price of the Shentu group.

"Old Master Shentu asked me to check the stock market and report back to him. Master Chu, please excuse me," the butler acted like nothing was off.

"Don’t overthink. I was just pulling your leg. Since today is your birthday, I shall celebrate it for you," Shentu Chu said, in a half whisper near the butler’s ear.

Butler Zhang felt goosebumps crawling up his spine, the hair standing on his skin.

"Master Chu, we are too close. Someone might misunderstand," Butler Zhang made an excuse. The presence of Shentu Chu was turning into dark clouds. The air seemed to shift from calmness to turbulence.

Butler Zhang never expected Shentu Chu to omit such dangerous aura!

"Who would misunderstand two men together? Butler Zhang, I think you are starting to overthink things because of your old age. You need to rest," Shentu Chu laughed.

"Follow me downstairs. Let’s have a party," he gave no room for Butler Zhang to reject, dragging the old butler along to the living room where the table was set with foods and wine.

How did Shentu Chu prepare all of this so fast?

"Here, a toast to our dearest butler. Thank you for serving the Shentu family for many years, especially my grandpa," Shentu Chu raised a glass at him.

Butler Zhang had no choice but to drink and raise his glass back. If he didn’t, it’ll be seen as a huge sign is disrespect.

Today, it seemed like Shentu Chu had called all the maids and servants, even the guards who usually patrol outside the mansion, to celebrate.

Butler Zhang’s palms felt sweaty all of sudden.
