Yun Yi scratched his head, a little confused. âYoung Master Shen? Heâs already gone home. He just made a few pancakes and said that he wanted to bring them to his parents. I heard from Miss Ning that heâs here to send the puppy.â Rong Yan asked curiously, âWhat puppy?â
Yun Yi replied, âItâs about the thief last night. Miss Ning is going to keep a fierce dog to guard the door at home.â
âIn order to thank him, Miss Ning taught him to make a few pancakes to play with.â
Rong Yan didnât comment, but his tense expression relaxed. âPack up that mutton and bring it to her tonight.â Then, he changed his words. â1 mean for the Ning Family.â
The guards could not understand the difference between these two statements. They would follow their masterâs orders.
The rabbit shook its ears and used its front claws to scratch its fur. Suddenly, it heard the man who kept it say sinisterly, âIf you make the courtyard like this again, 1â11 skewer you and roast you.â A few bamboo pieces were inserted in front of the rabbit. Half of them were buried in the soil. It shivered and almost pulled out its fur.
Rong Yan went out mainly to create the illusion that he was elsewhere. It was not dangerous, but it was very tiring. He slept until the sky turned dark.
Hearing the commotion in the house, Yun Yi brought over warm water to wash his face. âMaster, the Ning Family has just returned from the fields. Miss Ningâs second brother has already called for you just now.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As soon as he walked into the Ning Familyâs courtyard, Rong Yan heard Ning Xiaoxiaoâs crisp laughter from the kitchen. He went in and saw that she was playing happily with a dog in her arms.
âYouâre back?â
Strangely, such a simple sentence actually calmed his temper.
This was the first time someone had said such things to him. It was as if, as if she was waiting for him.
After not seeing her for a few days, she seemed to have changed again, but her clear eyes were always the same. She liked to look at him when she spoke. Her gaze was pure, and her joy was also pure. There were two buns tied on her head, and two red coral beads were clinking with her movementsâthey were from him.
Rong Yan nodded and walked in with a straight face, but his footsteps were very brisk.
Xiaoxiao looked behind him. âActually, Brother Yun and the rest can come too.â Yun Yi and the rest always said that there was a difference between master and servant and refused to eat at the same table as Rong Yan. However, there was no master-servant distinction in their family. At most, they could sit at another table.
Rong Yan thought for a moment and said, âThey eat a lot.â
Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She tilted her head and expressed her doubts. âEating more means that they have a good appetite. A good appetite means that theyâre in good health. They can protect you and take care of you better if theyâre in good health, so isnât this a good thing?â
Rong Yan looked at his unique and clear self in her eyes and couldnât help but smile. This girl could say anything about him. Seriouslyâ¦
The puppy on Xiaoxiaoâs lap was tickled comfortably by her and whined from time to time. Rong Yan picked up this noisy dog without thinking and was about to throw it away when he heard Xiaoxiao ask curiously, âYou like dogs too?â He had even hugged a rabbit last time. This neighbor was quite caring.
Rong Yan didnât understand his actions, but he could only suppress his impatience and put the dog on his lap. Then, he nodded reluctantly.
Xiaoxiao smiled as she watched the fair young master carry a silly dog. She suddenly remembered that she had yet to introduce it. âOh, right. Shen Tianci gave me this dog. Isnât it cute? We were thinking of a name for it just now. I thought of a few that everyone felt were inappropriate. Young Master All Yan, help me think of them?â
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows.. âWhat are you thinking about?â
