âYour little girlfriend called again.â
âBrother Jiangye...â Beep, beep, beep, beep... The line was once again hung up.
As the man lifted his wifeâs face, he explained, âSheâs the daughter of Old Master Linâs good friend, but thereâs nothing between us. Talking to an unimportant person is just a waste of time. Understand?â
âWell, she claims to be your girlfriend.â Ye Erruo smiled at him vaguely.
âAll I have is a wifeâI have no girlfriends whatsoever. Now, go change clothes and weâll go out for a stroll to digest our food.â He then proceeded to undo the knot at her waist.
âYou allowed her to call you Brother Jiangye, though.â
That made him smirk as he rubbed his fingers against her tender cheeks. âAny idea how adorable you are now?â
âDidnât you do that?â
âMy mistake.â
The woman snorted in response. I couldnât bother wasting my time to talk to someone trivial either. I was just helping you pick up the call, alright? Yeah, thatâs what I was doing.
âLetâs go change.â
While she was changing clothes, Mo Jiangye sternly scanned the call log on his phone before blacklisting a certain number. How did she get hold of this number thatâs only known by family and friends?
âArenât you changing?â
He then tossed the phone to the bed and went ahead to change clothes as well.
Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt... The phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated. It was Ye Erruoâs phone that was ringing.
âYao Tiao?â
âHello? Xiao Ruo, where are you?â
âH City.â
âWhy the hell did you go so far away?â
âWhatâs the matter?â
âIâm doomed. Iâm so doomed. Itâs dying! Quick, give me that manâs phone number.â
âHuh?â
âHis dog hasnât eaten or drunk in several days. It has lost so much weight that itâs all skin and bones now. This is terrible. This is truly terrible! The little mutt is going to die at this rate! Quick, give me his number so I can get him to fetch his dog.â
A smile bloomed across Ye Erruoâs face. âDogs have a temper too. Who knows, it might be upset with you for mistreating it. Iâm sure itâll start eating after a little coaxing. Give me a second to find the ownerâs number and Iâll send it to you.â
Right beside her, Mo Jiangye was holding her hand as he led her out of the house.
She continued talking to her friend on the phone while going on a stroll with him.
âUgh. What else do I have to do to coax that little thing? Iâve already called it âBossâ and even bought doggy clothes and toys for it, yet it still refuses to eat a single thing.â
âClothes? Why did you buy clothes?â
âWell, it wants to wear clothes.â
â...â
âThe dogâs always cuddling the jacket that you left here at the bar. Itâll just remain still on it all day. Iâve even taken it to the vet, but according to the vet, thereâs nothing wrong with the dog. It just refuses to eat anything.
âSigh... By the way, where did you buy that jacket? Aby seems to like it a lot. I canât even touch that jacket with the dog guarding it so preciously. Iâm thinking of buying the dog some clothes from the same brand. It might start eating if itâs in a good mood.â
âIt was a gift from my husband. I suppose the jacket is from the brand MTR. Why donât you go check out its counter?â
âThat mutt is a rich manâs pet, alright. It only recognizes expensive brands.â Yao Tiao could feel a headache coming on.
âHow do you know that the dog wants to wear clothes, though? Itâs still not eating after the visit to the vet? Are you sure you went to a professional pet clinic? Is it sick?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âJust give me the pet ownerâs number. Iâll contact him myself.â
âIâll send it to you in a bit, though Iâm not sure if I still have his number. Iâll have to search for it first.â
âShoot. Surely, you didnâtâ oh, gosh! Youâre finally willing to get up and move around, Boss! Are you feeling hungry? Come and eat something.â
