When they arrived at their residential building, Yun Nan called. âFang Xi, where are you?â
Fang Xiâs voice still carried a hint of laughter as she reassured Yun Nan, âIâm downstairs. Donât worry, Iâm fine.â
Relieved, Yun Nan asked, âHow did you get back? Did you leave your car at the
Fang Xi replied, âRelax, the barâs shareholder drove me home in my car. Are you done with your work? Is everything ready? Iâm returning to work tomorrow. Iâll be checking everyoneâs work; I want to make sure you guys didnât slack off while I was gone.â
Yun Nan laughed and told her, âAye, aye, Chief Steward. You wonât be disappointed.â
Ye Kun parked the car and handed the car keys to Fang Xi. Knowing heâd left his car at the bar, Fang Xi apologetically offered, âWhy donât I send you to work tomorrow?â
âNo need,â Ye Kun smilingly declined. âMy workplace isnât far away.â
That scored him more points with Fang Xi. She wouldnât be surprised if he accepted her offer so they could meet each other again. However, the sincerity he was showing her was rare nowadays. He truly had no other intentions aside from taking her back home.
They got to their floor and opened their respective doors. Fang Xi turned around to say goodbye, only to hear a âwoofâ coming from Ye Kunâs apartment. Then, a furry little animal jumped out.
âTuan Tuan!â Ye Kun hurriedly called out in admonishment. Tuan Tuan barked angrily at Ye Kun. Then, the canine noticed Fang Xi and ran over to her.
Fang Xi was about to enter her apartment, but when she saw Tuan Tuan running towards her, she immediately stopped in her tracks, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan sniffed Fang Xiâs hand and licked her fingers, causing her to giggle at the ticklish sensation. Fang Xi stroked Tuan Tuanâs head with her other hand and greeted the puppy, âTuan Tuan, hi there! â
Tuan Tuan barked cutely and wagged his tail in response. Fang Xi looked up at Ye Kun and remarked sincerely, âTuan Tuan is too cute.â Before Ye Kun could say anything in reply, Tuan Tuan ran into Fang Xiâs apartment through her slightly opened door.
âTuan Tuan!â Ye Kun cried out.
Fang Xi stood up a little too quickly. She felt dizzy, and her vision turned dark for a moment. âCareful, easy now,â Ye Kun cautioned and gently supported her. Fang Xi steadied herself against her doorframe. She knew she had drunk too much and sighed.
Ye Kun helped her into the house, saying, âLetâs get you inside first. Do you have any honey? Iâll make you some honey water.â
He led Fang Xi to the sofa and sat her down on it. Fang Xi propped her head up and answered, âThereâs some in the fridge.â Tuan Tuan jumped onto the sofa and leaped into Fang Xiâs arms, sniffing around. âThis little one is extremely adorable,â Fang Xi thought and hugged Tuan Tuan; she was extremely fond of the pup.
Ye Kun found the honey and deftly mixed it with some warm water. He handed the cup of honey water to Fang Xi and reached for Tuan Tuan, but Tuan Tuan refused to leave Fang Xiâs arms.
Fang Xi took the cup and felt quite touched. This was the first time in her life that a man had made honey water for her. Usually, she was the one who made honey water for others. Fang Xiâs eyes blurred. Blinking, she saw Tuan Tuan struggling to stay with her and suggested, âWhy donât you let Tuan Tuan play with me for a while?â
âAlright,â Ye Kun conceded. âMake sure you drink that honey water. Otherwise,
youâll have a heauache tomorrow morning.â rang Al stareu at ye nun anu smiled sadly. She had said the same thing to the man she loved countless times. She didnât expect to hear the same thing herself one day.
Fang Xi downed the honey water in one gulp. Ye Kun took the cup from her hand and brought it to the kitchen to wash it clean before placing it back where he found it.
Fang Xi looked at his tall figure in shock. His movements were fluid, natural, and without any pause. It was as if he did this every day. She was brought out of her daze by Tuan Tuan licking her fingers again. Fang Xi lowered her head and was met with the puppyâs shiny black eyes. It was so adorable that her heart was about to melt.
âTuan Tuan, itâs time to go home. Arenât you hungry? Miss Fang needs to rest. We can visit her another day, okay?â Ye Kun persuaded as he extended his hands toward Tuan Tuan once more.
âWoof!â Tuan Tuan barked at Ye Kun in protest. Ye Kun and Fang Xi laughed at the dogâs antics.
Ye Kun exasperatedly commented, âYou little rascal! You canât just dump your dear old dad for a pretty lady!â
âTuan Tuan is a male?â Fang Xi asked.
Ye Kun nodded and told her, âYeah, heâs a boy, and it looks like this little fella has a taste for beautiful girls!â
Fang Xi lifted Tuan Tuan and rubbed his coat. âTuan Tuan is a cute little guy!â she declared. The puppy stuck out his tongue and licked his own nose.
Ye Kun reached out and took the little furball. âGet over yourself, you little beastie. We have to go home and eat. Arenât you hungry?â
Tuan Tuan twisted and turned before obediently sitting in Ye Kunâs arm. After all, food is of the utmost importance..
