Chapter 23
She couldn't help but feel that these seven men seemed very fond of Qiao Chuchu.
Auntie Wang affirmed, "Of course, one of the seven gentlemen's taboos is not to mention their sister in front of them."
She pointed to the taboo written on the paper: "Look, this is the only taboo that everyone agrees on, and it's even highlighted in red. You must be very careful."
Xia Xuechun scanned through it: "Why doesn't Qiao Chuchu have any taboos or preferences?"
Auntie Wang sighed helplessly: "It's because she just came back, and everyone who knew her before is no longer here. We don't know her, only what she looks like."
Xia Xuechun understood.
So this girl wasn't liked by her brothers.
No wonder.
Such an arrogant and greedy person indeed isn't likable.
Qi Xiaojia whispered in her ear: "Since her brothers don't like her, it's okay for us to secretly disobey her, right?"
Xia Xuechun smiled and nodded: "As long as we don't make it too obvious."

Qiao Chuchu sat on the sofa drawing on her tablet. After a while, she sighed: "Can I go to the study to draw? I feel uninspired here."
Pei Buxian sat beside her, looking at his laptop: "No."
Qiao Chuchu was speechless: "Why?"
Pei Buxian, expressionless, sipped his strawberry milk: "I need to keep an eye on you to prevent you from committing suicide. If you go to the study, I'll have to go too, but I don't want to now because I'm inspired to write my novel in the living room."
She protested: "What about my drawing? I also have inspiration."
Pei Buxian picked up his phone and transferred fifty thousand yuan to her: "I'll buy your drawing."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Pei Buxian, still chewing on his straw, looked at her calmly: "I'm your employer now, can you listen?"
Qiao Chuchu: "……"
She angrily threw her tablet away!
?Pei Buxian is such a stubborn donkey!?
Pei Buxian remained expressionless.
Yes, he was.
Xia Xuechun walked into the living room and just happened to see this scene.
The siblings sat on the sofa, the atmosphere stiff.
Qiao Chuchu crossed her arms, seemingly pouting at Pei Buxian.
Pei Buxian typed on his laptop, ignoring Qiao Chuchu's mood.
Xia Xuechun couldn't help but mock inwardly.
She thought she was a little princess surrounded by stars, but she was just a tool pretending to be perfect in front of others.
She walked towards Qiao Chuchu.
Qiao Chuchu noticed her and became interested.
?Oh, the heroine is here.?
Pei Buxian paused typing and looked at Xia Xuechun.
Qiao Chuchu glared at Pei Buxian: ?Hmph, Pei Buxian, you're pretending to be indifferent, but in reality, you're just a lovesick fool. If I die, you'll become the most obsessive one in the seven-man group!?
?Because after you fall deeply in love with Xia Xuechun, as the master of Chinese suspense and detective novels, you'll start writing "Dragon-Pride Male Protagonist Novels," and the heroine in your novels will always be Xia Xuechun. Your love for her will be engraved in your words, disappointing your readers and even making it to the hot search several times. Readers will try to persuade you, but you won't listen, and they'll throw eggs at you in anger!?
Pei Buxian's eyes flickered, curious like a puppy as he stared at Xia Xuechun.
All along, there had only been one heroine in his detective novels.
What kind of charm did this Xia Xuechun possess to replace the original heroine in his novels and occupy his creative world?
Xia Xuechun felt Pei Buxian's intense gaze and was a bit uncomfortable.
She used a clean cloth to wipe the opposite sofa.
Pei Buxian kept staring at her.
Xia Xuechun secretly glanced at Pei Buxian and just happened to meet his eyes, quickly looking away in panic.
The masters of this house were all so handsome.
Pei Buxian's features were exquisite, a kind of delicate beauty.
He had a feminine appearance and dyed his hair platinum blonde. His beautiful, clear eyes were like the starry sky in a doll's eyes, drawing people into his enchanting gaze.
Xia Xuechun's movements became stiff under this intense gaze.
Qiao Chuchu watched from the side.
Pei Buxian was so focused on staring at Xia Xuechun.
Xia Xuechun was already flustered and shy, her cheeks flushed, her eyes moist like a little deer's.
Qiao Chuchu sighed: ?Ah, it seems that this destined love cannot be avoided.?
Pei Buxian's eyes flickered as he continued to look at Xia Xuechun.
After hesitating, Xia Xuechun finally mustered the courage to greet Pei Buxian: "Mr. Pei, you've been watching me all this time, is there something you need?"
Pei Buxian came to his senses: "I was thinking."
Xia Xuechun was curious: "Thinking about what?"
Pei Buxian: "Thinking about why someone like you, who's practically useless, could be hired for a thousand yuan a day."
Xia Xuechun: "?"
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Pei Buxian tilted his head, indifferently: "And you work very much like someone."
Xia Xuechun was a bit panicked: "……Like who?"
Pei Buxian: "Like a great-grandmother who crawled out of someone else's ancestral grave."
Xia Xuechun: "?????"
Qiao Chuchu: "Pfft!"
Pei Buxian stood up: "Let's go, Qiao Chuchu, to the study."
Qiao Chuchu suppressed her laughter and stood up from the sofa.
Pei Buxian looked around: "Westie, come with Dad."
……
Pei Buxian frowned: "Westie?"
……
Qiao Chuchu looked around.
The vast living room was quiet, making one worry.
Pei Buxian's face turned pale in an instant: "Westie? Westie?!"
Seeing his bad complexion, Qiao Chuchu quickly stood up: "Brother Seven, it's okay, Westie is probably just playing in another room. Although the house is big and hard to find, all the doors are closed, where could Westie go? I'll help you look for it."
Xia Xuechun held her breath, looking embarrassed: "Uh……"
Qiao Chuchu was on guard: "What's wrong?"
Aliali: 6754d302bd5e46c308a67379Xia Xuechun stood there awkwardly, her hands fidgeting in front of her: "When I came in through the side door, I didn't close it."
She apologized to Pei Buxian: "I forgot……"
Qiao Chuchu widened her eyes in shock: "What?! How could you forget to close the door? The employer's house has pets, and not just one. What if the cat or dog gets lost?!"
Xia Xuechun shivered from her yelling, pouting unhappily: "I didn't do it on purpose!"
Pei Buxian suddenly grabbed her collar: "Just because it wasn't on purpose, does that make it okay?!"
Xia Xuechun screamed, meeting Pei Buxian's furious gaze: "Find my Westie, I want it back in my arms."
Xia Xuechun couldn't help but tremble: "But… I don't know where to look."
Pei Buxian's eyes darkened, clenching his teeth: "You don't know where to find the dog, but I know where to find your stupid father, mother, and brother."
Xia Xuechun: "!"
Pei Buxian gripped her collar tightly, threatening fiercely: "Now do you know where to find my dog for me?"
