”What? Mom, what did you say? The phone seems to be broken, I really can’t hear anything!” Pei Jiale played dumb again.
”Stop playing games with me! Go meet this girl this weekend, do you hear me?”
”I can’t hear you! Mom, I’ll fix the phone first and call you back later.” This time, he didn’t give his mom a chance to nag him, decisively hanging up the phone.
He let out a sigh of relief, patting his chest. After the nervousness subsided, his stomach started growling.
He hadn’t completely lied earlier – he was indeed hungry now. However, having never learned to cook, he really didn’t know what to eat.
These days he’d been ordering takeout, which was getting tiresome, and the nearby restaurant food wasn’t very good… It seemed he should listen to his mother’s advice and hire a capable housekeeper.
But this housekeeper couldn’t know his status as the vice president of Tianxing Group and the second young master of the Pei family, otherwise they wouldn’t just cook for him but would try to jump into his bed. Past experiences were not to be forgotten!
The best solution was to ask the landlady to help find a reliable girl nearby.
The landlady was indeed efficient. No sooner had he asked her than someone knocked on his door. Had the housekeeper been found so quickly?
Pei Jiale ran excitedly to open the door, only to be disappointed to find not the housekeeper he was expecting, but a seven or eight-year-old girl standing outside.
The girl was extraordinarily beautiful, wearing a white dress with green dots, cute like a doll.
”Brother,” she called sweetly, holding out a beautiful lunch box, “Catch this, it’s so heavy!”
”Little girl, who are you?” Pei Jiale hurriedly caught the lunch box, asking in surprise.
”I’m your new neighbor. My name is Xiao Tong,” she answered with a smile.
“Want to be a maid? Why?”
“Because she recently became obsessed with cleaning rooms, cooking, as if she can’t stop.”
“How could that be?”
