Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 426 We've gotten on a pirate ship!

Looking at the vast disparity in combat strength between the two sides, Du Anrao helplessly rubbed his forehead, his face showing utter disbelief.

As expected, none of these roughnecks could be relied on at crucial moments; she had to step in herself!

However, even Du Anrao did not expect that the person who jumped out at the last moment and pushed the little girl was none other than the other protagonist of this incident.

Seeing Yu Zhaojun step forward and bring out the snacks that children love, and noticing the little girl's tempted look after seeing the snacks, the host felt that this was a sure thing.

"It seems that Mr. Yu also likes our little guest. Since both sides have chosen this little guest, the final result will be left to the little guest to decide. Whoever she chooses will be her temporary dad for this episode."

After saying this, the host breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had truly saved the day like a god, and that he would have to ask the director for a raise after the broadcast.

Unexpectedly, his words successfully angered a troublesome little tyrant who had never been ignored like this before.

"You trash, poor bastards, idiots, why didn't you choose me? You have no taste! In our family, she's just an unwanted little bastard, only fit to eat leftovers, live in a basement, and wear other people's old clothes. How could you like her and not me?"

"My mom said I'm the main character here, I'm the one everyone should like, the little prince everyone should dote on, the good boy. If you keep this up, I'll tell my dad and he'll fire you all, and make you... make you all beggars!"

Everyone present, including the production crew, was startled by Ke Zirui's sudden outburst. After realizing what had happened, a deafening silence fell over them.

The director collapsed to the ground, clutching his hair and wailing in despair, "It's all over, it's all over!"

Zhou Shunzhe stood next to him, watched his ugly behavior for a while, snorted coldly, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Standing next to Du Hexuan, Du Anrao was almost startled by the boy's voice, and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Good heavens!"

[Tsk tsk tsk, what a werewolf self-destruction! What a self-admission! Threatening people so fluently at such a young age, he must have been a bully and accomplice to many evildoers. It's a good thing Second Brother didn't choose him according to the script, or he'd be in big trouble.]

Du Hexuan nodded with lingering fear; the mere thought of this possibility sent chills down his spine.

Fortunately, An'an came along this time. Otherwise, if he had discovered the child's true colors halfway through the recording, he might have fled overnight with the train.

[Wait a minute, it seems my second brother hasn't won the little girl's approval to become her temporary father yet. What if he loses the election? Won't he have to stick to the original script and adopt this brat? Can I just ask to quit the show on the spot? Oh no, I'm stuck on a sinking ship!]

Du Hexuan: "!!!" Don't tell ghost stories at this time, you'll really thank me!

Finally realizing the seriousness of the situation, Du Hexuan wanted to salvage his image in the little girl's eyes.

Unfortunately, Du Yingdi, who has had a smooth life since childhood and has never tried to please anyone, has suddenly fallen into the biggest crisis of his acting career.

Just as he was scratching his head, extremely conflicted and not knowing what to do, Ke Zirui, after his outburst, seemed to have no intention of continuing to pretend. He revealed his true colors and rushed over to attack Ke Zhaozhao.

Ke Zhaozhao's face turned deathly pale. She closed her eyes and instinctively took a step back.

The expected, familiar pain did not occur; instead, I fell into a gentle and soft embrace.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Ke Zhaozhao was startled and timidly turned her head to look. What she saw was Du Anrao's gentle smile, which seemed to shine in the bright sunshine and the spring breeze.

As if sensing her unease, Du Anrao reached out and rubbed her head.

In Ke Zhaozhao's memory, this hand was not as big as her father's, but it brought her a warmth and sense of security that was even greater than her father's, making her unconsciously want to immerse herself in it.

until...

"Let me go! Let me go! You piece of trash, you scum, how dare you grab me! Believe me or not, I'll get my dad to kill you!"

"Fine, I'll wait here and see when your dad comes to kill me. If he doesn't come, he's a coward!"

Du Anrao was a little embarrassed and wanted to facepalm again: "Brother, why are you bothering a kid? Hurry up and come over here."

Du Hexuan's smug expression stiffened slightly. He decisively tossed the child aside and, like a husky on a leash, turned and pounced towards its owner: "Hey, coming."

Everyone: "..."

Ke Zirui, who had been thrown off by Du Hexuan, sat down on the ground with a thud and immediately burst into a pig-like cry.

It wasn't that it hurt; it was purely a blow to his self-esteem, which made him angry and embarrassed. Even while crying, he didn't forget to curse and swear.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such vulgar and offensive language would come out of the mouth of a child who is only a few years old.

The guests present had all raised children and knew all too well why they avoided dealing with such a difficult child. They immediately understood why Du Hexuan had changed his mind on the spot, risking offending the production team and investors to tear up the script and refuse to team up with the child.

Having such a brat, even for just a few days, would probably shorten your lifespan by several years.

I heard that this actor, Du, is still single. He has been in the industry for many years without a single rumored girlfriend. Putting him in such a hellish situation right from the start might make him afraid of marriage and having children.

Du Hexuan was so annoyed by the child's loud noise that he immediately turned his attention to Yu Zhaojun, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"What are you standing there for? Get rid of him quickly."

Yu Zhaojun's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked to the host beside him for help.

In just ten minutes, this seasoned host seemed to have aged ten years.

He looked wearily and with a sense of weariness at the obedient little girl being held tightly in Du Anrao's arms, clearly having come to see her as a safe haven. Then he looked at the unfortunate brat who was throwing a tantrum on the ground, yelling for his parents and occasionally cursing and threatening others. He simply couldn't bring himself to tell the little girl to separate from Du Anrao and his sister and take in this brat.

After a long pause, the audience finally heard the host sigh as if giving up, and loudly announce the results.

"Given Ke Zhaozhao's own choice, actor Du Hexuan will be her temporary caregiver for the next few days, working alongside Ms. Du to look after her. In return, Ke Zirui and Mr. Yu Zhaojun will automatically form a parent-child pair. Over the next few days, we hope that our trainee caregivers can take good care of our little ones and spend this wonderful time with them."
