Chapter 52 German Shepherd Fruit

Chapter 52 German Shepherd Fruit

Seeing that the girl was not satisfied with this or that, Guan Xiang gave her two options: "Either you come and stay at my house, or you go to Uncle Dan's house to walk the dog. Otherwise... I haven't settled the score with you for what happened earlier."

Guan Xiang's threatening tone struck right at the girl's weak spot, because she had broken her promise first by not telling Guan Xiang about her unemployment in time.

"I can go, but my salary will be halved." The girl still felt the salary was too high; she only needed to walk the dog in the afternoon and didn't need that much pay.

"Deal," Dan Si said quickly, afraid the girl might change her mind.

Dan Si's impatient manner finally aroused Guan Xiang's suspicion.

She's not as naive as Zhao Zhao. Anyone can ask someone to walk the dog, so why would she specifically ask Zhao Zhao?

If Zhao Zhao hadn't refused to stay at her house and didn't want her parents' money, how could Dan Si's plan have succeeded?

In the corridor, Guan Xiang crossed her arms and stared intently at Dan Si.

"Tell me, what are you planning?" Guan Xiang narrowed her eyes and approached step by step.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, Dan Si stopped hiding it and asked, "Did you know that my uncle is Zhao Zhao's benefactor?"

"I know, so what?" Guan Xiang stopped, looking puzzled.

"Isn't this because I knew Zhao Zhao was unemployed, so I specially created this easy job for her?" Dan Si curled the corners of his lips and gave Guan Xiang a knowing look.

"So you mean Uncle Dan deliberately kept a dog?" Guan Xiang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, her tone hesitant, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Otherwise what?" Dan Si leaned lazily against the wall, his fingers rhythmically tapping the windowsill.

"Wait, Jinshan Villa is a bit far from the school. How will Zhao Zhao commute?" Guan Xiang was still worried about the girl's safety. It would be at least eight o'clock by the time she got back to school after walking the dog.

He said casually, "That depends on your ability. Find a way to get Zhao Zhao to live in Jinshan Villa."

"Alright." Guan Xiang nodded. Staying at Jinshan Villa was the safest option.

In the end, no one knows how Guan Xiang persuaded the girl, but Dan Si was very satisfied with the result, which allowed him to swindle an extra sum of money when he reported to Dan Anwen.

Gu Zhaodi looked at the information lying in her hand, silently swallowed, and asked what it was like for a big shot to help her move her luggage.

Child: Uncle Dan, I can manage by myself.

Uncle Dan: I'm downstairs now.

You've arrived so quickly?

The girl looked out the window, while the man leaned against the car, looking at his phone, the shadows of his wispy hairs cast on his smooth forehead.

Perhaps sensing the girl's gaze, the man tilted his head slightly, the sunlight shining on his high, straight nose, outlining his handsome features.

Dan An spoke calmly, "Little one, take your time tidying up."

The girl gave a soft "hmm," and then, realizing the man couldn't hear her, nodded her head a few more times.

Having lived in the dormitory for more than half a year, I hardly had any of the girl's belongings. In the end, all I brought with me was a suitcase and a bag.

"Is that all?" Dan Anwen stepped forward, took the luggage, and asked, raising an eyebrow.

The girl nodded obediently, her clear eyes looking at the man.

The man gently ruffled the girl's hair and let out a barely perceptible sigh.

"Let's go."

As soon as I entered the villa, I heard several dogs barking.

Before Gu Zhaodi could react, a large dog pounced on the girl, its weight of several dozen kilograms nearly knocking her to the ground.

Fortunately, Dan Anwen caught the girl's back in time, stabilizing her and preventing her from having a close encounter with the ground.

"sit down."

The man's slightly authoritative command rang out, instantly subduing the excited dog, which obediently sat with its head tilted back, staring longingly at the two people.

Looking at the large, dark brown dog in front of her with its adorable expression, Gu Zhaodi's heart melted instantly. Who wouldn't love such a well-behaved large dog?

The girl crouched down and stroked the dog's head, then looked up and asked Dan Anwen with a hint of a smile in her eyes, "Uncle Dan, is this the German Shepherd that someone gave you? It's so cute."

German Shepherd: This is me being powerful, okay?

The man raised an eyebrow. "A gift from someone else? It seems Dan Si has embellished the story quite a bit."

A hint of a smile appeared in Dan Anwen's dark pupils. It was good that he liked the dog; he had initially worried that the girl might be afraid of large dogs.

When the German Shepherd was first delivered, the men were all surprised. Who would have thought that Liu Lei thought the president wanted to keep one, so he specially bought this tall and mighty breed, which was more in line with his status as a big shot.

However, since we've already bought it, there's no reason to abandon it.

"What's its name?" the girl asked, squeezing the German Shepherd's chubby paws.

Dan Anwen lowered his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then said calmly, "It doesn't have a name yet, why don't you give it one?"

"Really? I'll name it." The girl's eyes were filled with disbelief and anticipation.

The man nodded with a smile.

The girl patted the German Shepherd's sturdy back and said, "Let's call him Guoguo."

"Guoguo?" the man murmured, then asked, "What's the meaning behind it?"

"Guoguo means candy, and it means sweet." The girl smiled, recalling how she relied entirely on candy to stay alive while taking medicine at the Jinshan Villa.

Dan Anwen smiled slightly and said gently, "Then let's call her Guoguo."

Clearly, neither of them had considered the German Shepherd's feelings.

German Shepherd: I'm a boy, okay? Besides, what mighty German Shepherd has this name?

"Guoguo, Guoguo." After the girl called a few times, the German Shepherd wagged its tail vigorously, responding to the girl in its own way.

The girl's smile deepened, and she excitedly said to Dan Anwen, "Guoguo is so smart!"

The man watched with a doting expression as he quietly watched the man and dog play in the entryway, unaware of the expression on his face.

Aunt Zhang came out from the kitchen and said, "Miss Zhao Zhao is back."

Aunt Zhang smiled broadly. She liked this little girl very much. She was a little reluctant to leave when she left a few months ago, but she never expected her to come back now.

"Aunt Zhang, please call me Zhaozhao. I'll be Uncle Dan's worker from now on," the girl said, squatting on the ground with a smile in her crescent-shaped eyes.

“This…” Aunt Zhang looked at Dan Anwen with a troubled expression.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said okay only after the man nodded slightly.

"Then Mr. and Zhao Zhao, come and eat quickly. I've made my specialty dishes today."

"Okay." The girl followed the man into the bathroom to wash her hands.

Gu Zhaodi drank the pork rib and corn soup that Aunt Zhang had served her. The sweetness of the corn itself slowly melted into the soup as it was cooked in the clay pot, making the high-quality pork ribs even better.

Even Guoguo, who had just finished eating her dog food, followed the smell and came running over, sitting at the table and staring longingly at her bowl.

"Uncle Dan, Guoguo..." The girl looked at the man with pleading eyes, noticing that Guoguo's drool was almost dripping onto the floor.

Dan Anwen pursed her lips almost imperceptibly; these two really are adorable.

"This contains salt, so it's better for dogs to eat less of it. I'll ask Aunt Zhang to cook a bone for it later."

"Okay, then you can eat it later, Guoguo," the girl said, bowing slightly to the German Shepherd on the ground.

Perhaps sensing that its hopes of eating ribs had been dashed, it lay limply on the ground, its eyes still fixed on the food on the table.

After dinner, Gu Zhaodi drank some digestive tea and asked, "Uncle Dan, what exactly is my job?"

Dan Anwen stopped flipping through the financial newspaper and said calmly, "Aunt Zhang usually feeds it, so you can just take it out to play for a while after school."

The girl blinked and asked in surprise, "Is there nothing else?"

The man pursed his thin lips, pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of anything he could ask the girl to do.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll let you know if anything comes up later." He was trying to fool the girl for now.

The girl silently marveled to herself, "This is how wealthy people raise dogs, with dedicated dog walkers."

After settling into the Jinshan Villa, the girl would take Guoguo for a walk in Jinshan Park every day. Sometimes, if Dan Anwen returned early, she would go with her.

Normally, Dan Anwen would drop the girl off at school on his way in the morning, and if he had time in the evening, he would also pick her up on his way back.

So the relationship between the girl and the man progressed rapidly, to the point where they truly felt like family.

Gu Zhaodi was doing her homework in the study when her cell phone rang.

"Uncle Dan, is there something you need?" Gu Zhaodi was slightly surprised. She had never received a call from a man before; they usually communicated via WeChat.

A deep, magnetic male voice rang out, "Little friend, are you home?"

"Yes, I'm doing my homework in the study."

Dan Anwen is extremely tolerant of girls, and even his study, which is full of company secrets, has now become a shared area with them.

Every corner of the house bore traces of the girl's life, yet he felt no aversion whatsoever, and even felt a strange sense of peace in his heart.
