I Picked Up a Little Father to Run the Household

Wen Xu never expected that, as an ordinary modern-day office worker, he would transmigrate into a book as the despised, vicious cannon-fodder character.

The moment he opened his eyes, his original body's lover threw him out, and he froze to death in the snow at the village entrance.

The original plot rushed through his mind:

He was greedy for wealth, abused his niece, and had nearly sold a five-year-old child to support his lover

The good news: The original owner had finally brought about his own death!

The bad news: Now Wen Xu was stuck cleaning up the mess~

Wen Xu's heart clenched.

He'd have to pay for the original owner's sins.

Just as he was so cold he couldn't feel his body, a little girl with twin buns crouched in front of him, her eyes sparkling.

"You're so handsome! Be my little dad!"

Wen Xu: "...Do your elders know you say things like that so casually?"

Xu Xing was the most carefree child he'd ever met!

After five years of being beaten and scolded by the original owner, she still couldn't hold a grudge. She could turn around and switch sides just because of a pretty face.

Xu Xing excitedly ran home and dragged Xu Changfeng, who had just returned from the mountains, out into the snow.

"Old Xu! Do you want a husband? I found one! He's alive! And still warm!"

Xu Changfeng looked down at the frail young man lying in the snow, his dark hair in disarray and his face deathly pale. He narrowed his eyes.

Without his usual makeup, Wen Xu really was handsome.

But Xu Changfeng couldn't forget how Wen Xu had cleaned out their home over the past five years, nor could he forgive him for nearly selling Xu Xing

He picked Xu Xing up without a word and turned to leave.

"Let's go home. Pretend you never saw this man."

Xu Xing struggled with all her might, but couldn't break free. So she simply flopped down in the snow and clung to Wen Xu.

"If you don't want a little dad, then I'm not getting up either!"

"We'll freeze to death together and leave you an old bachelor with no one!"

Xu Changfeng: "..."

Wen Xu: "..."

In the end, they carried him home.

Xu Changfeng shot Wen Xu a cold look, tossed him a thick quilt, then turned away with a dark expression to brew medicine.

The day Wen Xu recovered, Xu Changfeng handed him a divorce agreement.

"Now that you can move, get out."

Wen Xu held the divorce agreement in his hand.

Divorce?

Not a chance.

The original owner was blind, but Wen Xu wasn't.

Xu Changfeng was capable and well-connected, with ties to every walk of life...

Well, the main thing was: broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs. Even the way he walked could make your heart flutter~

The man was a walking hormone factory. Wen Xu was determined to latch onto this golden thigh!

In the original story, Xu Changfeng and Xu Xing had a very hard winter.

That was because the original owner had taken all their possessions.

Wen Xu tore up the divorce agreement and rolled up his sleeves

His approach to winning Xu Changfeng's heart and paying off his debts was simple and direct:

Return to his old trade, earn money to support the family, and get back every penny his lover had swindled from him.

He started with a roadside stall, then rented a storefront and renovated the house.

Xu Changfeng thought Wen Xu would drop the act in three days, but Wen Xu managed to turn their dilapidated home into a warm, lively place filled with hot meals and the comforts of home.

The first person who couldn't take it anymore was Xu Changfeng.

That night, he finally cornered Wen Xu by the stove. "You don't have to do this. Your father's death is my debt to you. You can ask me for anything, but you don't have to..."

"Don't have to what?" Wen Xu interrupted. He rose onto his toes and leaned close to Xu Changfeng's ear, smiling. "Don't have to go out of my way to seduce you?"

Xu Changfeng's expression darkened. He suddenly pinned Wen Xu against the stove. "Wen Xu, think carefully."

"Once you come through this door, don't expect to leave!"

Wen Xu smiled, eyes curving as he hooked an arm around Xu Changfeng's neck.

"Good thing."

"I wasn't planning to leave."

Bonus Scene:

After dinner, Xu Xing put down her chopsticks and suddenly sat up with a serious expression.

"Old Xu, Little Dad, I have something to say."

Wen Xu got up and gathered the dishes. "Go ahead."

"When are you two going to finish getting together?"

Xu Changfeng paused. "...Finish getting what?"

"You know, finish getting together!" Xu Xing said seriously. "When the father next door got together with his little dad, he bought him a hairpin. Old Xu, you bought one! Little Dad, you accepted it! Doesn't that mean you're halfway there? When are you going to finish the other half?"

Wen Xu was wiping down the stove with his back to the uncle and niece, his shoulders shaking as he tried to hold in his laughter.

After a long while, he turned around, leaned against the stove, and folded his arms. "Then what's the other half?"

"It's..." Xu Xing thought for a long time. "It's... when the father next door got together with his little dad, they slept in the same room at night!"

At that, Xu Changfeng's ears turned bright red, and he froze in place.

Xu Xing added earnestly, "I'm not saying you have to sleep in the same room, but... if you two want to sleep in the same room, I won't object. Old Xu's bed is big, anyway."

Xu Changfeng finally couldn't sit still. He shot to his feet and hurried out of the kitchen.

Behind him, Wen Xu burst out laughing.

"You big goose, why are you running? Your niece has laid everything out for you. Stay and listen, "
