The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

Chu Bainiao was stunned for a moment.

If he was really a girl, there would be nothing wrong with pressing it, but I know he is a boy.

When I didn’t understand what was going on with my senior brother.

She's not that impatient yet.

Although she hadn't said no yet, her silence had already given the answer.

Cinderella hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, Aunt Chu, I, I... I'm sorry, I just don't know how to get along with older women... I, you know, I haven't had a mother since I was a child..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and his soft voice was a little choked up, "I'm sorry, I just like Aunt Chu very much, and I know that my father wants to marry Aunt Chu, so..."

"I just want to please you."

"I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable. Can Aunt Chu please stop hating me?"

Cinderella raised her head, crystal tears rolling down her eyes. She bit her bright red lips and explained aggrievedly.

Chu Bainiu's heart softened instantly. She put the milk aside and couldn't help but stretch out her arms to hold the child in her arms.

Damn Duke, how did he raise a child? He raised her senior brother like this!

"I'm not angry, nor do I hate you. Okay," Chu Bainiao patted his thin back, "I don't let you massage because I don't like massage, nothing else."

"I like Cinderella too. Even if you don't marry the Duke and you don't try to please me, I will still like you."

Cinderella put her arms around her slender waist, closed her eyes and buried her head in her neck, sniffing her fragrance with fascination, and the sounds she made were extremely pitiful.

"Thank you, Aunt Chu, you are such a good person."

The atmosphere was just right at this time. Chu Bainiao led him to sit on a stool in the room, then stood up and poured him a glass of water.

"Cinderella, can you talk to me? Why do you always wear a maid's dress and clean with the maids?"

Cinderella sat stiffly, and took the cup handed to her awkwardly, her fair face still showing a blush from crying.

"I, I originally wanted to help my nanny Aunt Duffy share some of the work, but then, later on..." There was a bit of confusion on his face, which still had a little baby fat.

"Later, it seemed like I was always doing the cleaning. When I wasn't doing it, the servants would ask me to help."

Chu Bai Niao's face turned ugly. "The Duke doesn't care? The housekeeper doesn't care either? You are the Duke's daughter. The Duke has paid you. The sanitation of the castle is their own job."

Cinderella's straight nose twitched slightly twice, and his little mouth pursed as if he was about to cry again. Chu Bainiao squatted in front of him and took a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Father, father doesn't like me." He said aggrievedly. The sight of this well-behaved and delicate little girl crying made Chu Bainiao's heart melt.

Cinderella stood up, knelt on the ground and threw herself into Chu Bainiao's arms, "My father never cared about me since I was a child. Neither did the housekeeper. Only Aunt Du Fei cared about me. But later, Aunt Du Fei was fired, and no one cared about me anymore."

"If I don't work, they won't give me food."

"Aunt Chu... Aunt Chu..." He called out again and again, each voice sounding more aggrieved and more pitiful than the last.

Chu Bai Niao hugged him tightly, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, and she coaxed him softly, "Be good, Cinderella, be good."

Her slender fingertips stroked his hair to comfort him, "Aunt Chu is here, no one can bully you anymore, be good."

Cinderella's face, buried in her soft body, was stunned for a moment, and then she pretended to cry and said aggrievedly, "Then, then Aunt Chu is going to marry father?"

Chu Bainiao hugged him, holding him, feeling a little conflicted, but quickly said, "Yes, I will marry him."

How can I save the poor little thing if I don’t become the mistress of the castle? He is just an ordinary man. I just need to hypnotize him and he will find something to do for himself.

Hearing her answer, Cinderella silently pulled the corners of her lips.

Marry your father?

That won't work.

Aunt Chu, you can't marry my father.

Chu Bainiao held him and coaxed him for a long time before the poor little girl stopped crying. However, no matter how pitiful she was, due to her gender, she still insisted on sending her back to her room to sleep.

Cinderella lived in the servants' room on the top floor.

Chu Bainiao walked beside her, and his brows furrowed deeper as he walked.

The servants who were resting in the corridor retreated to their rooms after seeing her personally escort Cinderella back.

It was not until they walked into the deepest part of the corridor, in front of the small and dark room, that Cinderella said, "Aunt Chu, this is my room."

His cheeks were slightly flushed, as if he was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, Aunt Chu, the room is a little small, so I won't invite you in."

Chu Bainiao took a deep breath. Across the room was where the servants went to the toilet, and the air here seemed to be extremely turbid.

Due to her height, she did not rub the child's head, but just hugged him gently.

He coaxed her, "Just sleep here today. I'll ask the housekeeper to change you a new room tomorrow, okay, my poor girl."

Cinderella's eyes turned red again, and he hugged her back heavily, his voice muffled, "Yeah!"

Chu Bainiao walked back slowly after seeing him enter the room. Along the way, she could hear constant whispers in the room. She felt it was noisy and uncomfortable.

Her senior brother's life was even more miserable than she had imagined, so miserable that she wanted to hang the Duke up and beat him.

She returned to the warm and comfortable room and lay down on the soft bed. She felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she should have let him sleep here.

He is just a child after all. Let him sleep on the bed and you can just sleep on the sofa for one night.

I don’t know whether the bed in that room is hard or whether the quilt is damp.

Early the next morning, Chu Bainiao changed her clothes, put on some light makeup, tied her hair up, and walked out of the room.

After sitting for a while in the small garden inside the castle and putting down the bait, the Duke came as expected, smelling the scent.

"Miss Chu, a batch of fruits was just shipped in from a neighboring country last night, and His Majesty specially rewarded me with some."

"Want to try it?"

Chu Bainiao raised his eyes and looked over. Cinderella looked four points similar to him. Although he was middle-aged, apart from the wrinkles caused by time, he was actually in good shape.

Unfortunately, neither the original body nor she was interested in the Duke.

She smiled and asked, "I have been staying in the Duke's castle for two days. There is one thing I am curious about. Can the Duke tell me?"

The Duke dismissed the servants and sat in front of her, saying lovingly: "Miss Chu, please speak. After all, you are the future mistress of the castle."

Chu Bai Niao smiled and said, "Why don't you care about Cinderella at all? After all, she is your daughter, isn't she?"
