The puppy lay in the bag, whimpering, its cries so sweet they melted my heart.

Hearing Cheng Qicai sigh, Gu Rongqi asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Qicai shared her worries, "I originally wanted to find someone to adopt it, but finding an adopter is quite troublesome. I thought about it and decided to keep it myself, but I have too much stuff at home and need to tidy up. Just thinking about all that stuff gives me a headache!"

Gu Rongqi thought about the furnishings in Cheng Qicai's home, and after a moment's thought, said, "I can adopt it."

"Really?" Cheng Qicai turned her head sharply to look at Gu Rongqi.

She really didn't expect Gu Rongqi to want to adopt it. Cheng Qicai still clearly remembered the displeased expression on his face when the puppy peed on him.

Cheng Qicai thought it was already too much trouble for him to ask him to help catch it, but she didn't expect him to say that he wanted to keep it as a pet.

Gu Rong started to speak.

Cheng Qicai gently tapped the puppy's nose and sighed, "I never imagined that in just one hour you would go from a homeless person to a wealthy young master."

From now on, whenever we meet, I'll have to call him "Young Master Gou"!

Envious! Just thinking about how she'll have access to designer brands for everything she eats, wears, and uses in the future makes her so envious!

Humans are worse than dogs, it's infuriating!

Putting aside her sadness, Cheng Qicai asked curiously, "So, Mr. Gu, what name do you want to give it?"

To be honest, she couldn't imagine what it would be like for Gu Rongqi to appear on stage with a big yellow dog; it felt like a dimensional rift.

What name do you think is good?

"Laifu? Wangcai? Dahuang?" Cheng Qicai rattled off several names in one breath, all of which were well-known and auspicious.

Gu Rongqi: "..."

Judging from Gu Rongqi's expression, he didn't seem very satisfied. After thinking about it, she agreed. How could a domineering CEO's dog be named like this? It should at least be a foreign name to sound sophisticated.

She racked her brains for a moment, and finally came up with a foreign name: "Eddie?"

Having already mentioned this name, her brain felt completely drained; if she were asked to name another one, she would be helpless.

“…” Gu Rongqi paused for a moment, “I’ve already come up with a name.”

"What?"

Gu Rongqi suddenly looked at her, his eyes filled with an indescribable meaning. Cheng Qicai inexplicably felt that his gaze was somewhat malicious.

Gu Rongqi slowly uttered the name, "Golden Bean".

Huh?! What a strange name! Cheng Qicai scoffed.

"How... is this the name?" she asked hesitantly.

"Doesn't it fit perfectly?"

Cheng Qicai looked down at the puppy; it was yellow and round, and it really did look like a soybean.

I never expected Gu Rongqi to be so down-to-earth when it comes to naming things.

"We've arrived." Gu Rongqi stopped the car.

Since Gu Rongqi wanted to keep the puppy, then the puppy belonged to him, and she handed it to him when she got out of the car.

"Oh, right, Mr. Gu, wait for me a moment. I'm going upstairs for a bit; I have something for you." Cheng Qicai seemed to remember something, and after saying goodbye, she quickly ran upstairs.

Gu Rongqi turned off the car. He could still feel a little warmth at the bottom of the gift bag through it, and he sighed softly.

Watching the little mongrel struggling to pull the bag upwards, Gu Rongqi patted it through the bag and softly called out, "Golden Bean."

The puppy barked "Woof~" as if responding to its name.

Gu Rongqi chuckled softly.

"Mr. Gu!" Cheng Qicai knocked on his window. Gu Rongqi rolled down the window and held up two fingers. "Could you wait two more minutes? Just two minutes."

Gu Rongqi didn't understand what she was going to do, but he nodded nonetheless.

Cheng Qicai pursed her lips as she watched the seconds on her phone change from 59 to 00.

Seeing that the time had turned into her waiting time, she handed over a golden gift bag.

With a beaming smile, she said to him, "Happy birthday, Gu Rongqi! I hope I'm the first person to wish you a happy birthday today."

With just a few simple words, Cheng Qicai mentally prepared herself on her way to collect the gift. She was planning to call Gu Rongqi directly, so the sudden change in address still made her a little nervous.

Although Gu Rongqi had previously said that they were friends, Cheng Qicai viewed him more as her boss.

She felt that calling him "President Gu" on his birthday would be too formal; she wanted to wish him a happy birthday as a friend.

Cheng Qicai tilted her head, looking at Gu Rongqi with a puzzled expression.

Why isn't she answering? Is she complaining that her gift is too small? Or does she think she's a bit narcissistic for saying she was the first to send her blessings?

Ah... her arms are about to go numb from holding them up...

Gu Rongqi never expected that the reason Cheng Qicai asked him to wait two minutes was because she wanted to be the first person to wish him well.

Looking at Cheng Qicai's face, his vision became somewhat unfocused, and his mind went blank for a moment.

My heart is adrift.

Until a warm, moist sensation came from my knuckles.

Looking down, he saw Huang Jindou licking his hand, making the red mole on his index finger appear even more vibrant. He snapped back to reality as if he had been burned.

He accepted the gift from Cheng Qicai's hand and said in a soft, cotton-like voice, "Thank you."

Seeing Gu Rongqi staring at her so earnestly to express his gratitude, Cheng Qicai's face flushed slightly. She awkwardly pulled out some bread from her pocket with both hands. "Mr. Gu, Golden Bean keeps meowing, it must be hungry. This is all I have for it right now, why don't you let it eat some?"

"Hmm." Gu Rongqi tore the bread into small pieces and fed them to Golden Bean. After Golden Bean finished eating, he tore off another piece.

The puppy, having received its food, finally settled down and began to eat attentively.

Looking at Gu Rongqi feeding the dog so attentively, Cheng Qicai thought, "I didn't realize he was so thoughtful. He'll definitely be a great babysitter in the future!"
