In order to support himself, Chu Mingwan spent most of his time busy with all kinds of jobs, but the only hobby he was willing to spend money on was reading novels. Especially when he was so busy his feet barely touched the ground, he could even let his phone’s voice function read them aloud automatically.
Therefore, Chu Mingwan was not unfamiliar with the concept of transmigrating into a book, but when such a bizarre thing happened to him, he still felt somewhat bewildered and at a loss.
He raised his head and looked over the unfamiliar bedroom in front of him. Chu Mingwan’s first impression of this room was that it was outrageously large, much more spacious than the largest staff dormitory he had ever lived in, and every piece of furniture in the room was filled with the aura of money.
Only after the pain in his head subsided did Chu Mingwan have the strength to sort through the extra memories in his mind.
This was a typical dog-blood sweet-and-tragic novel world, and Chu Mingwan had transmigrated into the villainous cannon fodder in the plot who could be summed up in just a few words, a pure tool used to push the plot forward and make the big shot a success.
The original owner was the legendary fake young master who was especially good at stirring up trouble. After the Chu family found their true young master, he carried out a series of incomprehensible flashy moves, nearly costing the true young master his life. After being driven to the limit, Father Chu took charge and directly bundled the original owner off to Qi family, where he became the Qi family head’s new wife in a marriage for a lucky omen.
The Qi family head was not missing arms or legs, nor did he have any problem of being unconscious. As for why he was clearly healthy and well yet still needed such a marriage for a lucky omen, Chu Mingwan called it the original book’s major bug.
And in the original plot, after the original owner married into Qi family and learned that the Qi family head had a three-and-a-half-year-old son, all kinds of nasty tricks kept coming one after another, including but not limited to: colluding with the nanny to withhold the little cub’s food, forcing the little cub into confinement from time to time, threatening the little cub that if he did not behave, he would be thrown away…
At first, the original owner still had some scruples, but the later it went on, the fiercer and more vicious his methods became, until the originally somewhat shy and timid little cub was successfully tormented into severe autism.
The Qi family head was busy with the family business all day long. By the time he discovered that something was wrong with the little cub, even if he sent the original owner to prison and arranged for people to torment him in every possible way, and then found the world’s best children’s psychologist for his son, everything was already too late to save.
When the little cub grew up, on the surface he seemed to have escaped the torment of autism, but inwardly he became a youth with a gloomy and sinister temperament.
Thinking of the series of irrational actions in the original book, all of which could have been written into the criminal code, that the grown-up antagonist made because he could not obtain love, Chu Mingwan could not help shivering. The original owner was truly committing sins, he had utterly ruined the little cub’s life.
As a miserable office worker who had died in the hospital at such a young age, Chu Mingwan lay comfortably on the spacious big bed and kept saying that the original owner had something wrong with his brain. With such a cute cub, and a husband who was clearly just a money-making tool for supporting the family, directly lying flat and giving up would have been as blissful as could be, so why would he think like that!
“You’re just a little wild bastard, a little wild bastard with no one to give birth to you and no one to raise you. Sooner or later I’ll throw you out of Qi family.”
“What a witless little animal, go stay properly in your room.”
“A child eating too much nutritious food is bad for the stomach. Don’t give him these things to eat in the future.”
“Your dad doesn’t even come home for New Year’s, he already doesn’t want you. A little waste who can’t even speak clearly.”
The original owner’s various vicious remarks kept echoing in his mind. Chu Mingwan could not help clenching his fists and saying that it was sinful. Lowering his head to look at the cute cub nestled in his arms and sleeping soundly, he could not help but stiffen.
However, what was worth being glad about was that the original owner had only just married into Qi family a few days ago, so at most he had only bullied and suppressed the little cub verbally, and had not yet reached the point of being utterly insane…
“Pah.” Lucky my ass. The little cub was originally such a soft little nature, after hearing those vicious words, how much hurt would he have suffered? Unable to successfully convince himself, Chu Mingwan felt even more heartache for the little cub who had been abused by his stepfather in his arms.
Although it was already midsummer, after a night of heavy rain, there was still some of that half-warm, half-cold chill lingering in the air. The little cub, curled into a tiny ball in Chu Mingwan’s arms, could not help but kick his feet.
That little foot landed on Chu Mingwan’s thigh, not light and not heavy, but it hit solidly. Mumu felt that something was not quite right. He struggled to open his sleepy eyes, and then met his stepfather’s twisted, strange expression.
The little cub was still somewhat half-asleep. He vaguely remembered that the rain had been very, very heavy last night. After he was startled awake by a nightmare in the middle of the night, he ran to his stepfather’s room, originally planning to sleep for just a little while before going back…
Those eyes that had originally been half-lidded with sleepiness suddenly opened wide. The little cub did not dare move as he shrank in Chu Mingwan’s arms. Oh no, he seemed to have overslept, and the bad, bad stepfather was definitely going to scold him again.
Seeing that tears were about to uncontrollably fill the little cub’s clear black-and-white eyes, Chu Mingwan decisively chose to strike first: “Thank you, Mumu, for working hard taking care of Dad last night. Come, let Dad give you a kiss.”
With a “mua,” before Mumu could even react, Chu Mingwan had already fiercely kissed the cub’s chubby little face, and he said arrogantly without the slightest politeness, “Wow wow wow, I just want to kiss Dad’s good cub.”
Kiss the cub, kiss the cub, he just wanted to kiss the cute cub. Of course he had to kiss the cub when he had one!
Chu Mingwan could not help himself, and kissed Mumu’s face several more times in a row. Seeing the little fellow’s dumbfounded expression, he could not resist rubbing the cub’s fluffy little head as well.
Wow wow wow, this felt really good. His family’s Mumu cub had soft, abundant little curly hair. When he grew up, he would definitely be a handsome guy who would never go bald. Chu Mingwan could not help but let his imagination run wild.
Mumu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Even the tears that had been on the verge of falling were forcibly held back. With a face turned red and flushed from being kissed by Chu Mingwan, he looked like a little kitten cub that had been scared silly.
He had accidentally slept on his stepfather’s bed. After his stepfather woke up, he not only did not scold him, he even praised him for being a good cub?
Mumu cub did not quite believe his own ears. He felt dizzy, as if in a dream, because only in dreams would Dad and little dad call him a good cub.
He must be dreaming. Mumu could not help clenching his little fist and foolishly closing his eyes again. As long as he did not open his eyes, he would not wake up from the dream. Little dad would definitely keep kissing him and gently calling him a good cub.
Even though he had been bullied by the vicious stepfather many, many times, Mumu cub still wanted little dad to like him.
Another heavy kiss landed on the little cub’s forehead. Seeing the adorable way the little cub was openly pretending to sleep, Chu Mingwan’s eyes had already curved into crescents: “Dad’s good Mumu, good morning!”
After being kissed again by his stepfather, the little cub still did not quite believe his own ears. As long as he did not open his eyes, the stepfather would keep being especially gentle to him, but Mumu, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, was still a very polite good cub, and unconsciously opened his eyes to answer, “Little… little dad, good morning!”
That soft little baby voice melted Chu Mingwan’s heart even more. Right at that moment, a rumbling sound rang out, and Mumu cub could not help touching his disobedient little belly, his face instantly turning red.
“Ah, whose little belly is rumbling?” Chu Mingwan could not help pinching the little Pikachu tail on the cub’s belly again, then lifted Mumu up in one motion. “So it was my good cub’s tummy that’s hungry. Hurry and brush your teeth and wash your face with Dad, then we can go down to eat!”
But Chu Mingwan truly overestimated the strength of this body of his. As a third-rate nobody, the original owner had indeed shown great professional dedication, stubbornly starving himself into this white-chicken physique. As a result, just after he carried the good cub in his arms off the bed, a wave of low-blood-sugar dizziness could not help surging up.
Quickly and nimbly setting the good cub firmly on the edge of the bed to sit, Chu Mingwan himself plopped down solidly onto his own backside, and Chu Mingwan was very familiar with this dizziness brought on by low blood sugar, so he could only endure the nausea that kept coming in waves and honestly sit on the floor a little longer.
Was stepfather going to faint again? No one knew what he thought of, but the little cub’s red face instantly paled a little. After hesitating for a few seconds, Mumu reached out and touched the Pikachu big pocket in front of his little belly, and from inside took out a White Rabbit milk candy.
Chu Mingwan was still a little dizzy, but afraid of scaring his good cub, he hurriedly raised his head. In the instant he did so, he saw Mumu cub extend a little white and tender hand, and the sweet milk candy was stuffed into his mouth. Although the candy had already started to melt a little, Chu Mingwan only felt that his heart was about to melt from how cute his good cub was.
“Little dad, are you feeling better?” Mumu was still a little afraid of stepfather, and raised his little head, full of unease.
Chu Mingwan could not hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand and lightly pinched the little cub’s smooth cheek, saying in a very exaggerated way, “Wow, it was a good cub who saved Dad. How is my Mumu so amazing!”
Being praised by his stepfather made Mumu feel a little shy. Although he still felt that stepfather was a little weird today, the little cub, not yet even four years old, could not think about too many things. Very quickly, under Chu Mingwan’s nonstop stream of rainbow praise that did not repeat itself even once, he lost the tiny bit of rationality that belonged to a human cub.
With his little red face praised into a blush, Mumu was in a daze as Chu Mingwan led him into the bathroom.
There was a little toothbrush and little cup in the bathroom cabinet for the cub. The original owner had prepared them when he had just married into Qi family, in order to put on the image of a good dad in front of Qi Yuan. The little cub had never used them more than twice before they were put back into the cabinet.
Skillfully taking out the little stool from the cabinet, Mumu carefully looked at stepfather. Seeing that he did not see the same look of disgust as before in stepfather’s eyes, he obediently stepped onto the little stool to brush his teeth and wash his face.
When the two of them finished washing up and walked hand in hand to the restaurant, it was already nine o’clock in the morning.
Seeing the father and son holding hands, the butler and a whole group of nanny aunts all stared in shock, eyes wide.
Being stared at directly by a group of people, Chu Mingwan did not feel the slightest bit awkward. On the other hand, the Mumu cub by his side subconsciously trembled a little, as if afraid of something.
The villa butler had been brought over from the old residence by the Qi family head, and had always protected the little cub very carefully.
After looking over all the nanny aunts except the butler, Chu Mingwan immediately understood what exactly Mumu was afraid of.
He had forgotten that in the villa, besides the original owner’s vicious stepfather, there was also a vicious servant.
Gently pinching Mumu cub’s soft little hand, Chu Mingwan did not rush to comfort the little fellow, but instead brought Mumu to sit down at the dining table together.
Because the original owner had been dieting to keep a good figure, the breakfast the chefs prepared was simply absurdly plain. Chu Mingwan only glanced at it and felt waves of stomach pain: “I suddenly don’t want to lose weight anymore. Is there anything else to eat?”
The butler was shocked out of his mind twice over, but his good professional quality kept him calm: “There is, but madam will have to wait a little while.”
Chu Mingwan cast a disgusted glance at the green set meal on the dining table: “No rush, just have someone clear away these green, green things first. They hurt my eyes to look at.”
“Oh, right.” Watching the nannies clear away all the green vegetable salad on the table, Chu Mingwan’s gaze brushed almost imperceptibly over one nanny, “In the future, prepare more dishes for Mumu that are suitable for his age. Has Mumu been getting thinner lately?”
The nanny, who was carrying a tray and about to walk out of the restaurant, immediately froze. This new madam had never cared about the young master before, so why had his temperament suddenly changed after waking up?
