Chapter 196 He is too selfish

The man suddenly said this, and Yang Cici stopped nodding, looking confused.

What boyfriend?

What is this person saying?

She didn't even know she had a boyfriend.

But seeing that the man didn't look like he was joking, she blinked and was about to ask when her cell phone suddenly rang.

I picked it up and saw the note: [Wang Ting].

She looked up and said, "Sorry, wait a moment, I have to take a call first."

Pei Yanchuan's smile was still gentle, but it didn't reach the deepest level. "Okay, you take it."

Yang Cici picked up the phone and put it to her ear: "Wang Ting, what's wrong?"

Wang Ting's voice was a little embarrassed. "Team Leader Yang, did I bother you? Actually, I don't have anything to do. It's just that you are going to adopt a child today. Did you go?"

"I haven't gone yet, but I'm planning to go."

"That's great... ah, no, I mean, I also need to go to the pet store to buy some dog food. Do you want to come with me?"

Hearing this, Yang Cici paused and glanced at someone next to her.

Meeting her gaze, the man narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether it was intentional or simply out of doubt. He walked closer, leaned over, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Wang Ting on the other end of the phone paused when he heard the voice of a strange man.

"Team Leader Yang...are you with your friends?"

“…”

Noticing the man's strange behavior, Yang Cici suddenly remembered that Pei Yanchuan met her in the pet shop yesterday, and she seemed to be walking with Wang Ting at that time.

So this is where the word “boyfriend” comes from.

Yang Cici blinked twice slowly, suppressed her smile, pursed her lips, and smiled at Pei Yanchuan twice.

Responding to Wang Ting across from me: "Yes, I'm with my friends, so I won't bother you. You go ahead and do your work. I'll contact you later."

Wang Ting was stunned, but still agreed, "Okay."

The thing is... he's not busy.

As soon as Yang Cici hung up the phone, she heard the man ask gently, "Is it your boyfriend calling? Will he misunderstand us?"

Yang Cici looked at him puzzledly, "Why the misunderstanding?"

Does this mean she has a boyfriend?

Pei Yanchuan's eyes darkened, but the curve of his mouth remained gentle.

"No, as long as there's no misunderstanding." He said softly, "Then shall we go to the pet store now?"

"Okay." Yang Cici looked around. "Where's your assistant? Isn't he coming with us?"

Pei Yanchuan stepped forward and opened the passenger door. "He has other work arrangements."

Qi Lou, who was hiding in the corner to get a taxi, wiped away his tears silently: "..."

It's not easy at all, he's doing this all for Mr. Pei's love as the mistress!

It looks like tomorrow's flight can be cancelled.

Yang Cici had just fastened her seat belt when a bottle of water was handed to her.

"Drink some water."

She hesitated for a second, and the man's helpless laugh rang in her ears.

"You've never opened one before. Are you afraid I might drug you?"

“…”

Yang Cici raised an eyebrow and took the water, then looked at the man while unscrewing the bottle cap.

"Can you?"

The girl's eyes were slightly upturned, and her amber eyes held a seductive and deliberately teasing smile.

The blurry beautiful profile of that night was now within reach.

Now it is him who is with the girl.

——Only him.

Pei Yanchuan's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and there was an unclear emotion in his eyes.

He slowly shifted his gaze away, stroking the steering wheel with his fingertips, a low laugh coming from his chest.

“Not before.”

Not necessarily now.

—

They had originally agreed to go eat first, but Yu Jing and Yu Si left first, so they planned to go and adopt the dog home first.

When the pet shop clerk saw them come in together, his face went blank for a moment.

Have these two... reached an agreement?

She looked around and hesitated, "...Who adopted it?"

Yang Cici raised her hand slightly, "Me."

The clerk looked at Pei Yanchuan next to him.

The man said with a gentle smile: "I'll accompany her."

Clerk:?

You... accompany me?

Do you love Golden Retrievers to this extent?

Yang Cici took a look at the golden retriever's condition and reached out to tease it through the cage.

Pei Yanchuan walked over and squatted beside her. His eyes lingered on the girl's outstretched hand for a few seconds, and he gently held her wrist with familiar movements and a natural tone.

"This dog seems a little dirty. Let's wash it first before touching it."

Yang Cici nodded obediently and withdrew her hand.

The clerk next to him: “…”

What's going on? Weren't you guys still refusing to give in yesterday? Did you start talking about it overnight?

Pei Yanchuan pulled out a wet tissue and subconsciously wanted to help the girl wipe it. He paused and handed it to her again, "Does it have a name?"

"Yes, I have."

Yang Cici said solemnly, "I plan to call it 666."

System 666: [??? Host!?! How could you do this!?!]

Yang Cici: [Any similarity is purely coincidental.]

Pei Yanchuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this and then laughed out loud: "It's an interesting name."

"Is that so?" Yang Cici even called out, "666."

The golden retriever stuck out his tongue enthusiastically and swung his tail, looking like he really liked the name.

System: (o｀ε′o)

Yang Cici stood up and went to sign the adoption contract with the clerk.

Pei Yanchuan also stood up and looked at the dog calmly, without any fondness in his eyes.

The clerk took the dog out for a bath and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Will you raise the dog together in the future?"

Pei Yanchuan paused, turned his head and glanced at the girl signing the contract inside the room. After confirming that she wasn't paying attention, he said softly, "Yes."

After completing the formalities, the clerk moved the cage and the dog to the trunk.

After returning home and standing at the girl's door, Pei Yanchuan did not go in, but looked around inside.

His eyes fell on the unopened package on the ground, and he asked casually, "Do you live alone?"

Yang Cici had just finished wiping the dog's paws and nodded, "Yes."

"That's good. It's best for boyfriends and girlfriends not to live together."

“…”

She turned her head with a subtle expression, "Really?"

Pei Yanchuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and said with a smile: "Yes, after all, they are just boyfriend and girlfriend. It's better not to let boys live in before you get married."

Yang Cici: "...That makes sense."

She sat on the cushion and tilted her eyes towards the man. "I bought some toys for it, and some of them are not assembled yet. Do you want to come over and take a look?"

The two of them packed the toys together, but before they had finished, the man suddenly said, "Is your boyfriend very busy at work? He doesn't even have time to come over and take care of the dog. If he's not free in the future, I can come over and help you walk the dog."

Yang Cici: “…”

The frequency of the character "boyfriend" appearing today is indeed quite high.

She put down the toy and suddenly tilted her head and smiled: "Mr. Pei, actually my boyfriend doesn't allow me to have contact with other men, so I brought you in quietly."

She curled her eyes, supported herself on the floor and gradually moved closer.

"So, let's just keep this a secret between us, okay?"

The girl's eyebrows are curved, and when her lips open and close, the tip of her pink tongue is faintly visible, like a piece of soft candy coated with honey, tempting to pick it.

Pei Yanchuan's eyes suddenly froze, and his nose was filled with the soft and sweet scent of the girl. If he moved half an inch closer, he would have been able to hold her in his arms.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, his eyes darkened, and as he leaned over, his breath swept across the girl's ear, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Miss Yang, he is controlling you to make friends. Don't you think this is too selfish?"

Selfish?

Yang Cici was stunned for a moment, and her whole body felt like it was drenched in a bucket of ice water.

Is this... selfish?

They had once tacitly agreed to this rule, but now Pei Yanchuan called it selfish?

That's right, Pei Yanchuan is now a "normal person".

They are different now.

The thinking is also different.

Yang Cici lowered her eyes and the smile on her lips faded a little.

She sat back on the cushions and uttered a faint "hmm".

"You're right, it's selfish."

When the man was stunned, she raised her head again, slowly curved her eyes, and smiled as usual, but her tone was calm and without any fluctuations.

"Mr. Pei, actually I don't have a boyfriend."

"Those requests just now are what I ask of my future boyfriend."

"Thank you for telling me this. This is the first time I know how selfish my thoughts are."
