What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"Mommy says she only likes me because I'm a good child. Mommy doesn't like me watching cartoons." Jiuge felt wronged when she recalled her mother's expression when she scolded her.

"No, parents' love is unconditional. She was just saying that, hoping you would be a good child. There are no parents in the world who don't love their children." The butler smiled and ruffled Jiuge's hair.

Jiuge's hair was only chin-length, but it was very black and thick, and it felt very soft to the touch.

Her eyes were very beautiful, with long eyelashes, a touch of baby fat, and skin as white as a porcelain doll.

If her parents were willing, Jiuge could absolutely become a child model.

"When are Daddy and Mommy coming back? When are they coming to be with me? Will they be back soon?" Jiuge jumped off the sofa with her short legs.

She hopped and skipped all the way to the door.

Jiuge picked up a small stool and stepped onto it to open the peephole.

She hasn't seen her parents for two weeks, and even her routine homework assignments are relayed verbally by the housekeeper.

"Please don't do such a dangerous thing. Your parents will come back when it's time." The butler took a few steps forward, picked Jiuge up from the stool, and put her back on the sofa.

"If you're not watching TV, go practice your barrier spell first. I have to go out for a bit, and I'll grade your papers again tonight." The butler emphasized this, remembering Jiuge's parents' instructions.

"Mm." Jiuge nodded and fell silent.

About ten minutes later, the housekeeper went out.

With a quick kick of her short legs, Jiuge ran to her room.

The large house where she and the housekeeper lived had been protected by a powerful figure in the family, so no spirits could enter.

There are security guards outside, so it's very safe.

Picking up a few crystals, Jiuge began chanting a spell.

The wind rises, and the barrier appears.

"I am bored……"

For Jiuge, who is born with full spiritual power, basic spells such as barrier spells, magic breaking spells, purification spells, and healing spells are like having her talent fully unlocked. She can learn them as soon as she learns them and understand them as soon as she understands them. She doesn't need to practice them repeatedly at all.

After setting down the crystal and calculating the time, Jiuge pushed open the door and returned to the living room.

The remote control is in the second drawer of the cabinet.

She thought for a moment and then pulled the drawer open.

The drawer was full of things, but thankfully the remote control was large and easily visible.

Because she was worried that the housekeeper would find out, Jiuge even made a note of the order and direction of the items in the drawer.

Turn on the TV; the initial channel is Channel 6.

If Jiuge remembers correctly, the pseudo-capital children's channel is channel 59.

After tuning in, Jiuge leaned against the heater and smoothly began watching "Little Ear Tutu".

Actually, Jiuge had secretly watched this animation before, but she didn't dare let anyone know.

My parents said that children who like to watch TV and are playful are not good children.

Jiuge felt that since she occasionally watched a couple of episodes without saying that she liked watching TV, she should barely be considered a bad kid.

The children's channel broadcasts two episodes together, and the time after watching them coincides with the time when the housekeeper usually returns.

When the TV was turned off, Jiuge reset the channel to Channel 6.

The drawers were also arranged in the same positions as before, as much as possible.

Just in case, she even used a rag to cool down the TV for half a day.

Back then, televisions were very wide, large, and heavy, and looked a lot like desktop computers.

If you watch TV for a long time, the temperature of the "chassis" behind the TV will rise.

Sure enough, the butler returned in less than ten minutes.

Jiuge's secret TV watching went unnoticed.

Another hour passed, and dinner was ready.

Jiuge heard that the housekeeper was a good cook, but she never liked what the housekeeper made.

The housekeeper always talked about nutritional balance and that children must eat light meals, and she was very strict in controlling her diet.

"I don't really like it, I can't finish it," Jiuge said softly, glancing at the butler.

At first, she needed to drink water while eating, otherwise she couldn't finish her meal.

Later, the housekeeper stopped Jiuge from eating and drinking, saying it was unhealthy.

In the end, Jiuge ate very slowly.

Eating food she doesn't like is tasteless to her.

"I hope you can finish this for your nutrition, otherwise it will be difficult for me if your health deteriorates." The butler smiled, but his voice was stern.

Jiuge ate her rice in silence.

This was the first time she had expressed that she actually couldn't eat these things.

The response she received was exactly what she expected.

Chapter 98 The Butler

"Butler sister, am I a child that Daddy and Mommy picked up from the trash can?" Jiuge asked as the butler bathed her in a tub.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The butler poked Jiuge's head.

Then, she picked up a towel and began to wipe Jiuge's body.

Fearing that Jiuge would get cold, the housekeeper wrapped her tightly in a blanket and carried her back to her room in his arms.

"But my parents rarely come to see me, and they don't let me go to kindergarten much either." Jiuge nestled in her blankets, her eyes stinging with tears.

She has no social life, little entertainment, and rarely goes out.

Nothing I wanted to do was allowed.

"It will be better when you grow up. You're still young now." The butler touched Jiuge's forehead.

Actually, she felt sorry for the little girl, but as the chosen child, there was nothing she could do but treat her according to the family rules.

"You'll be easier to mess with once you grow up?" Jiuge blinked, looking puzzled.

"Ah."

"How big?"

"When he grew to be about my height."

"That will take a long time."

"really."

"Was I given away as a free gift when I topped up my mobile phone plan?"

"You were born from a stone."

"I am not Sun Wukong."

"Anyway, you are your parents' biological child."

"The housekeeper's parents?"

"Of course they are your own parents, please don't say such frightening things..."

"I want to go out and play."

"Not for now, you can do it when you grow up."

"I want to hear a bedtime story."

"okay."

The housekeeper sat on the edge of the bed and began to tell the fairy tale she had told countless times.

Prince and princess.

Phantom thieves and detectives.

A tortoise and a rabbit.

The King and His New Clothes.

As she spoke, Jiuge became sleepy.

"Miss, you will also have a prince of equal social standing come to marry you in the future." The butler gently stroked Jiuge's forehead.

"Prince Charming?"

Upon hearing the word "prince," Jiu Ge, who was almost asleep, opened her eyes wide again.

"Yes, the family will select a suitable candidate for you at that time."

“The prince and I didn’t want to be chosen. In fairy tales, princesses and princes find each other on their own…” Jiuge said, her eyes half-closed, becoming drowsy again.

"In the adult world, many things are beyond our control." With that, the butler stood up.

After rearranging the blankets around Jiuge, she turned off the light and left the room.

……

Another month passed, and Jiuge still hadn't seen her parents.

Finally, one evening, she received a phone call from her mother.

When the housekeeper handed Jiuge the heavy cell phone with her parents' voices playing on it, Jiuge's little hands were trembling.

Because she rarely interacted with others, she became very introverted.

Aside from the housekeeper, Jiuge can go an entire day without saying a word to anyone else.

Answering the phone is a real test of courage for her.

But all of this couldn't stop the fact that the person on the other end of the phone was his parents.

"Jiuge, how have you been lately?"
