Chapter 222

222 Taking a Fancy to a Little Golden Retriever

With Aunt Bai’s support, Le Yao immediately felt much more relaxed. Aunt Bai had been helping Le Yao bathe Shuo Shuo and coax him to sleep before preparing to go back.

“Sir Jue probably hasn’t eaten yet.” Aunt Bai smiled. “I’ll go back first.”

Le Yao opened her mouth to say that it was fine for him to skip a meal, but in the end, she didn’t. After all, he had helped her a lot. She couldn’t be so ignorant.

Aunt Bai would come over to help for the next two days, and Le Yao and Sister Mei were clearly much more relaxed.

Shuo Shuo seemed to like drawing very much. He could draw for the entire day.

“Young Madam, you can actually raise a small animal, such as a puppy. It’s very beneficial to the child,” Aunt Bai suggested.

“Alright.” Le Yao thought for a moment. She seemed to have seen something about “animal therapy” on television. “I’ll take him to the pet market in the afternoon to take a look. He can raise whatever he likes.”

Aunt Bai didn’t stay for lunch because she had to go back and make lunch for Nangong Jue.

“You’ve worked hard enough. Let him come and eat.” Le Yao sighed. “There’s no lack of chopsticks.”

“Okay.” Aunt Bai smiled.

Nangong Jue came over quickly and thanked Le Yao very politely. “I’ve troubled you.”

The corners of Le Yao’s mouth twitched, but she said nothing.

After lunch, Le Yao was going to bring Shuo Shuo to buy pets.

“I happen to be free, so I’ll accompany you,” Nangong Jue suggested. Then, he sent a message to Fang Ming. “You’ll host the meeting in the afternoon.”

Fang Ming: “...”

This was a management meeting. He was just an assistant. Could he host it?

Nangong Jue knew the importance of the afternoon meeting, so he sent another message: If I say you can do it, you can do it. Best of luck!

Fang Ming: “...”

What else could he say? Even if he couldn’t, he had to. Seriously, he was doing the President’s job, but he was taking the assistant’s salary. It was unfair.

There was a large pet market in Xiling City. It was at the foot of the West Mountain and had been here for more than ten years.

Le Yao realized that as soon as they got out of the car, Shuo Shuo’s eyes lit up. He could not take a step forward as he looked at the cats and dogs in the cages.

“Do you like it?” Le Yao looked at the little guy.

The little guy looked at Le Yao. Although he didn’t nod or answer, the light in his eyes showed that he liked it very much.

“Which one do you like? Point it out to Mommy.” Le Yao guided the little guy.

The kid hesitated, then looked at each cage.

When the small animals saw someone approaching, they moved to the edge of the cage and whimpered.

Shuo Shuo looked here and there. Finally, unexpectedly, he stopped in front of a sickly puppy.

“Mommy.” Shuo Shuo pointed at the dog and looked at Le Yao.

“Sir, Madam, this golden retriever was born less than a week ago, but because its mother passed away, it hasn’t eaten anything. Its body is very weak. Why don’t we look at others...” The stall owner was a bald man. “I have a lot of varieties here.”

“We’ll take this one. How much is it?” Nangong Jue said directly.

“Normally, it would be at least 1,000 yuan, but this... If you’re willing to raise it, I don’t want money. I’ll give it to you. I hope you can raise it well...”

In the end, Shuo Shuo carried the little golden retriever as he wished and smiled happily.

Not far away, a woman wearing a mask looked at the backs of the three of them with a murderous glint in her eyes.
