While she was busy in the kitchen, another person appeared in the living room besides Xiaomei; it was Xu Ye, who was slowly walking back.

The man and the dog were huddled together in front of the newly bought computer, engrossed in what they were doing. Xu Moran, carrying Xiaomei's dinner, came out of the kitchen without even noticing.

Just as Xu Moran was about to walk behind the man and dog, his eyes, filled with curiosity, turned to the computer screen.

Just as she was about to see what was on the computer screen, the person and dog who had their backs to her suddenly made a sound.

One of the men slapped the dog on the head and yelled, "You bastard! I wondered why you were looking at this so intently. Turns out you were watching something inappropriate for children. Tell me, can't a dog have any decent aspirations?"

Xiao Mei's face, covered in dog hair, was filled with utter bewilderment.

However, being clever, it quickly realized that Xu Moran was definitely behind it.

Hey hey hey, what's wrong with its wise and mighty owner lately? Why does it keep using a dog as a scapegoat?

There's another thing. What happened? Just a moment ago, its owner was typing a string of code into the computer, and suddenly the code on the screen turned into pictures, and they were pictures of dogs, the kind that's inappropriate for children.

Xiaomei found the pictures on the computer screen so offensive, yet she couldn't bear to look away.

It looks so beautiful! This is exactly the pose it has always dreamed of, shyly covering its face with its paws.

At this moment, Xu Moran had also seen what was on the computer screen. She was shocked that a dog would be browsing pictures that were not suitable for children. She also felt helpless. It seemed that finding a suitable female dog for Xiaomei was an urgent matter that could not be delayed.

When Xiaomei saw the plate in Xu Moran's hand, she immediately forgot about Xu Ye's framing of her, jumped off the chair, and went to eat dinner.

As for those inappropriate images that popped up on the computer screen, it's none of its business as a dog browsing them, because its owner has already turned them off after successfully making it take the blame.

Speaking of food, even though Xiaomei is a dog, she couldn't help but shed tears. The few noodles she ate that morning were only because her owner accidentally dropped them on the floor, and she managed to pick them up and eat them.

As for the few slices of beef from Lanzhou Snacks, it didn't even get a single bit of meat, yet it was falsely accused of eating them.

Xiao Mei was indeed hungry. She ate the dinner that Xu Moran had made for her with her head down. Before she knew it, her eyes were filled with tears. Fortunately, she did not give up. Because she met Xu Moran, her almost hopeless dog life was finally rekindled.

Xu Moran looked at Xu Ye, but instead of asking him when he had returned, she waved to him, indicating that he should move aside so she could use the computer.

Xu Ye readily gave up his seat for her, but before she noticed, her finger twitched slightly, and the browsing history she had just viewed was cleared.

As soon as Xu Moran picked up the mouse, he could feel the difference between this computer and his previous one. The speed at which web pages opened later further confirmed the saying, "You get what you pay for."

Expensive things are indeed expensive for a reason.

Xu Moran was looking up seafood recipes online. She knew she couldn't possibly eat all this seafood, so she was considering sending some over to Jiang Moli. The aroma of garlic was already wafting from the kitchen.

She wondered if she was smelling something wrong, so she took a deep breath. Her nose was filled with the aroma of stir-fried garlic. With a bit of curiosity, she walked toward the kitchen from which the fragrance was coming.

In the short time she spent searching online for seafood recipes, Xu Ye was already bustling about in the kitchen.

It's still because of that double-door refrigerator issue.
