Everyone in Haicheng knows that Qiao Chu is the woman Mr. Zhi hates the most, but to everyone's surprise, he married Qiao Chu!
Marrying Mr. Zhi is like being a widow?!
Qiao Chu, who...
The stray cats and dogs must have been starving; they ignored the warning and followed the trail.
The stray dog was quite fierce and started barking.
Jiang Zhi stood in front, protecting Qiao Chu.
While cautiously confronting the stray dogs and cats, he also called his bodyguards outside the park.
One of the bodyguards rushed over, while the other went to buy dog and cat food.
...
The barking of those three dogs attracted other stray dogs.
In an instant, they all stared at Jiang Zhi and his group, and even roared at them.
Jiang Zhi and his bodyguards stood in front of Qiao Chu, protecting her closely.
They merely stood their ground and did not make any rash moves.
They won't attack them unless they attack them first, so they probably won't pounce on them either.
We don't know if these stray animals have been vaccinated or not. It's best to avoid any accidents and to prevent Qiao Chu from being frightened.
...
The bodyguard rushed over as soon as he got the dog and cat food.
After eating dog and cat food, the stray animals finally calmed down.
Once they were full, they left and returned to the bushes.
Qiao Chu: "Actually, they are quite pitiful. They did nothing wrong. It's the people who abandoned them who are so immoral."
Jiang Zhi: "They are also sentient animals. Before they were abandoned, they should have been docile. Now, they are starving and probably scared. So, when they see strangers, they will confront them as if to protect themselves and become aggressive."
Qiao Chu: "Honey, let's find a way to properly settle them. It's not a good idea for them to stay here indefinitely; it's also very dangerous. If a child walks by and gets attacked, the consequences could be unpredictable. This tragedy can be avoided. We'll do our part, and consider it an act of kindness for our baby."
Jiang Zhi: "Okay, I'll have Qin Yun contact an animal rescue center and move them to another place as soon as possible. They need to get a check-up and vaccinations. This is an open park without any management, so people might just dump their unwanted pets here."
Qiao Chu: "They eat one meal a day and go hungry the next. I really don't know how they usually live."
Jiang Zhi: "After they've eaten their fill, they've all hidden in the bushes. They probably only come out to forage when no one's around. Or maybe some kind person comes and calls them, and that's when they come out."
Although the stray cats and dogs were full, Qiao Chu had her bodyguards put the remaining cat and dog food in the bushes so that they would have something to eat when they got hungry.
Judging by appearance, there are more than twenty stray cats and dogs. It will take time to find a place to put them.
At the earliest, they might not be able to be moved until tomorrow.
They haven't been given a medical check-up, and no one dares to adopt them.
After taking one last look at them, Qiao Chu and Jiang Zhi left the park.

Tomorrow she'll be walking in Joe's show, and as the main model. By the afternoon, Cheng Ling's work for the day will be finished.
She can get some rest now.
Xiao Liu took another assistant home, and then he was going to take Cheng Ling back.
Suddenly, Cheng Ling said, "How about we go eat hot pot?"
Xiao Liu: "You'd better not eat anything indiscriminately. What if you get pimples on your face tonight, or blisters on your lips? That would be terrible."
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Ling told the truth, "I... am very nervous, and I'm afraid I'll make a mistake tomorrow."
"This isn't your first time on stage, just treat it like any other fashion show. There's nothing to be afraid of. Go for it, it'll be fine, it'll all end perfectly."
"That's what I think too, but I'm inexplicably nervous. I'm afraid I won't be in good enough shape, and I'm also afraid of letting Sister Chu down."
Xiao Liu frowned slightly and pursed her lips.
This woman is such a nuisance!
They are inflexible and stubborn to the end.
...
There was a moment of silence.
Xiao Liu sighed before saying, "What do you want to eat tonight? Eat something you like; it should cheer you up and help you relax. Go to bed early tonight, so you don't get dark circles under your eyes or puffy faces. Also, avoid eating anything that might cause internal heat, or you'll break out in pimples overnight."
"I can't eat hot pot, I can't eat anything that causes internal heat, and I guess I can't eat ice cream either," Cheng Ling said truthfully. "I don't know what to eat."
"Do you have any vegetables at home? You can cook for yourself."
“I often work with you, as you can see, I don’t have time to cook at home. I don’t even have any vegetables at home. I only have noodles and eggs. Sometimes when I’m hungry, I cook noodles for myself.”
"Never mind what I said."
"Take me to the supermarket, I need to buy some things."
Aren't you worried about being recognized?
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Give me a list of what you want to buy, and I'll buy it for you. Stay in the car and don't wander off."
Cheng Ling blinked and pursed her lips.
After a while, she slowly uttered an "oh".
Let's just buy some groceries, and she can cook for herself.
******
Half an hour later, Xiao Liu returned to the parking lot.
He was carrying two large bags of things.
Cheng Ling didn't ask.
She didn't let him buy that many things; perhaps one bag of things was for his own use.
"Xiao Liu, how much did it cost you in total? I'll transfer the money to you, thank you!"
"It didn't cost much, so forget it."
"No, I can't always let you pay. It's not much money, but it adds up."
"I'll calculate it with you at the end of the month."
"Make a note of this, and settle last month's bill as well. Even though your salary is higher than mine, it's still money. I won't take advantage of you. You earn money through hard work too."
Xiao Liu didn't say anything and drove away.
What a nagging woman!
...
Cheng Ling walked ahead, and Xiao Liu carried her things.
When she arrived at her house, she realized that both bags were for her.
Moreover, Xiao Liu went into her house.
He walked into her house for the first time.
He was the only man who had ever visited her home.
Xiao Liu looked at Cheng Ling and said, "What are you standing there for? Wash the rice and cook!"
"Why did you buy so much food? I can't finish it all by myself. If I put it in the refrigerator, I don't know when I'll have time to cook."
"Of course it's for two people! My young mistress specifically instructed me to comfort you and ensure a perfect show tomorrow, so I'm going to keep you company tonight and prevent you from overthinking. I've cooked for you!"
Cheng Ling laughed and asked skeptically, "Can you cook?"
Xiao Liu rolled her eyes at Cheng Ling, "Nonsense! If I don't cook, what will my master eat?"
Instantly, Cheng Ling smiled, her lips pursed.
For some reason, she was very happy!
She obediently went to wash the rice and cook.

The next morning, before Qiao Chu had even gotten out of bed, her phone suddenly started ringing incessantly.
In a daze, Qiao Chu reached for her phone and looked at the caller ID.
The call was from Qiao Nuan.
Qiao Chu pressed the answer button, and immediately, Qiao Nuan's anxious voice came through the phone.
"Sis, something's happened! You and your husband are trending on social media and getting a lot of flak for trying to poison stray dogs and cats."
