Chapter 13 "I'll be back soon."
At around 8:30 the next morning, He Siyu called Ni Yang.
The girl frowned and touched her phone at the bedside with her eyes closed.
He answered the call without even looking at it, "Wow~"
He Siyu had just gotten off the plane and was sitting in the car when he heard Ni Yang's slightly hoarse voice, which tickled his tired nerves like a kitten's scratch.
Just the sound of a word, and the fatigue in the nerve endings was instantly replaced by comfort.
A smile appeared on his lips that he himself didn't even notice. "I'm in London now. It's still early. You should get some more sleep."
When Ni Yang heard He Siyu's voice, his sleepiness subsided a little. He opened his eyes and looked at the time. It was 8:30 in the morning. It was probably around 1:00 in the morning in London.
"He Siyu, are you staying in a hotel?"
There may not be food available at the hotel at this time.
"No, I have a flat in London, my own place."
"Then remember to eat something before going to bed. Going to bed hungry is bad for your stomach."
Ni Yang opened his eyes completely, sat up, and his voice became much clearer.
As He Siyu listened to the rustling sounds on the other end of the phone, his mind naturally emerged with the image of Ni Yang turning over in their bed, with large areas of her fair skin exposed.
His throat was as expected dry. He calmly opened the window and raised his hand to loosen his tie impatiently. There were still young people speeding on motorcycles on the streets of London late at night.
The evening breeze outside the window blew the hair on his forehead. His face, with its fine bone structure and skin, was noble and cold. The darkness in his eyes was thicker than the night.
The hoarse voice paused before responding to Ni Yang, "Okay."
As soon as he got off the plane, he called Ni Yang to report that he was safe as instructed. Hearing her concern, his heart softened. It seemed that getting married was better than he had imagined.
Both sides fell silent. He Siyu listened to Ni Yang's breathing. His anxious and tired brows slowly relaxed. He moved his lips and whispered softly, "I'll be back as soon as possible."
Ni Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."
As the call was about to end, Ni Yang hurriedly said, "Can I have a puppy? If you don't like it or you're allergic to dog hair, just pretend I didn't say anything."
He Si tried to slow down his breathing, frowned slightly, and his eyes were blank for a moment as he looked out the window. The fingers that were pinching the corners of the phone turned white from being squeezed.
"...If you like, ask Uncle Zheng to take you to buy one."
His voice was a little messy due to the wind. Ni Yang seemed to have noticed something and softened her voice and asked him, "Do you have a favorite breed?"
"Just pick the one you like."
"No, since we're adding new members, your opinion is very important. After all, the puppy will call you daddy in the future."
"...Then let's go to West Highlands."
"Okay, when I take him home, I'll bring him to video chat with you."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Ni Yang lay down again, used his mobile phone to search for the best pet store nearby, and looked for posts about West Highland dogs on the Internet to learn how to take care of dogs in advance.
She vaguely realized that He Siyu must have had a puppy before, a West Highland Terrier breed, but for some reason, he lost it.
Forty minutes later, Ni Yang was brushing her teeth in the bathroom when she received a WeChat message from He Siyu, which contained a photo of egg noodles.
[The ingredients were bought in advance, and I simply cooked a bowl of noodles. After eating, I went to wash up and go to bed.]
She bit her toothbrush and picked up her phone to reply.
[Okay, the noodles look delicious, let's eat them and go to sleep.]
[If you like it, I'll cook a bowl for you when I get home.]
[Okay, it's my honor.]
[A yellow-faced emoji with the OK sign]
Ni Yang found a very suitable reply in her collection of emoticons.

After breakfast in the morning, she went to the pet shop with Uncle Zheng.
Among the many beautiful puppies, I picked out the most well-behaved and best-looking West Highland Terrier.
I took him to get shots and deworm him, and bought him a lot of dog snacks, dog food, toys, and a small house.
On the way back, Ni Yang played with the two-month-old soft-fur Westie through the space box.
She took a photo and sent it to He Siyu.

[She is a beautiful girl.]
[You give him a name.]
Knowing he was still sleeping, I didn't do it again.
She put away her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the butler sitting in the passenger seat directly.
Uncle Zheng was transferred from the old house, so he must know a lot about He Sixu.
"Uncle Zheng, has He Siyu ever had a puppy before?"
The butler in the passenger seat sighed heavily.
"Yes, ma'am," she said with a distressed look on her face. "At that time, I was my husband's driver, picking him up from school every day. When he was just a sophomore in high school, one evening after evening study, I found a West Highland Terrier on the side of the road. It was so skinny and sickly, with tangled fur and extremely dirty."
"After being secretly raised by Mr. for a while, the puppy grew fat and became very lively. Every time he saw Mr., he would jump at his feet. He was so cute. Mr. named him Rousong."
"That period was when Mr. laughed the most."
"The old man doesn't need any entertainment equipment from the gentleman, especially a pet like this that is of no use to him."
"On the day that my husband went to compete in another city, the old man brought people to kill Rousong."
"The master was very sad. That was the first time he rebelled against the old man's control over him. He ended up kneeling in the ancestral hall and breaking four or five of the rulers."
Ni Yang frowned when he heard this: "..."
Old Man He looks very serious and solemn. When he was at the old house, he also protected He Siyu. However, he not only had his beloved puppy killed in private, but also abused him.
"Didn't grandma stop it?"
Ni Yang looked at the drowsy puppy in the space box beside him with a serious look on his face.
"The old lady doesn't interfere with the gentleman's education. She is only responsible for keeping him alive."
"...Did He Siyu never have a childhood?"
How can there be a childhood in such a family?
Nothing is achieved overnight. He Siyu's ability was the result of being whipped since childhood.
The housekeeper glanced at Ni Yang in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said, "From now on, Madam, please be nicer to Mr. Right. He's having a hard time."
Ni Yang didn't say anything. She took the puppy out of the space box and said to him, "Dog, let's wait for Daddy to come back together."
The butler smiled kindly, he knew that the lady would be good to the gentleman.
She is a child who grew up in love, so how could she be stingy with her love for others?
