Chapter 42 | 0042 The Well-Dressed Beast is Invited into the Home (600 Views)

Hobart's knocking came as expected at seven o'clock in the evening.

Wu Qian opened the door, and the handsome man standing in the doorway said as usual, "Let me in, Cloud."

"Please come in, master."

Wu Xian thought her master must be her magic godfather, regularly injecting vitality into this listless gray puppy.

She suddenly felt frustrated. "Will the master disappear? At exactly twelve o'clock."

"Cloud, I'm with you at exactly twelve o'clock. I won't disappear if you don't want me to."

“Master is so kind.” Wu Qian hugged Hobert and pressed her face against his chest. Hobert picked Wu Qian up and carried her into the room.

The door was pushed shut by an invisible force, concealing Hobert's figure. He was like a wild beast granted permission to enter a human home, impeccably dressed, holding and kissing Wu Qian's hand.

Sharp fangs were hidden in its mouth.

Wu Xian didn't care about that.

She cared more about the plates her master brought out from the kitchen that day. If she ate them, her master would reward her, which helped to reduce her urge to vomit whenever she saw food.

She actually started to look forward to it.

Today it's steak again, medium-rare. The difference is that it's served with two florets of broccoli. The green color has a strange, peculiar taste typical of vegetables, and the fact that they're still green even after being cooked makes them look even more disgusting.

Wu Xian frowned, pondering the equivalence between the broccoli and the reward. She hesitated, wavering between the two options.

“You’ll like it, Cloud.” Hobert straightened Wu Xian’s body, which was moving like a pendulum, and made a decision for her. “And we’ll share.”

The master is always right.

Wu Xian finished eating, then tilted her head back so her owner could wipe away the stains and wait for him to announce today's reward.

“Study,” Hobart told her.

"Study?" Wu Xian was incredulous. She had accepted a much more difficult task, and all she got in return was studying!

She hates studying; studying is boring.

More importantly, she simply had no talent for learning. Back then, Ms. Wu would poke her head and berate her for being stupid, trying all sorts of methods, but nothing worked, and she eventually gave up—she also had an excellent son.

Wu Xian wasn't sure if her results would satisfy Hobert, and it would be too unfair to punish her for studying.

She was afraid that her owner would discover she was a child with no talent, and that her owner might be disappointed and abandon her like Ms. Wu.

“Cloud, don’t be afraid.” Hobert stroked Cloud’s nape.

The master was very gentle. He didn't care about Wu Xian's terrible eating manners and patiently helped her remove the food stains. He even brought her beautiful jewelry as a surprise.

But the master was also very strict. He put a ruby ​​hairpin on Wuxianka and told her in a steady voice, "Listen to me, Cloud."

He is a monarch, and his rules should be followed without exception.

Wu Xian lowered her head and submitted to Hobert. She shouldn't have questioned her master; he would give her what she wanted.

"Master, what kind of learning is it?"

"German."

Wu Qian was not unfamiliar with German; she vaguely remembered that she had studied it for a long time but still couldn't learn it.

“Master, Cloud isn’t smart.” Wu Qian was somewhat frustrated, and she needed to make things clear first to avoid punishment.

"Cloud is a good boy, don't worry."

"It's okay, this is just a game between us, don't take it to heart, but in order to prevent its rules from being invalid, I will still have some requirements for you."

"Cloud can do it, it's just a little difficult."

Every previous instance proved that Hobert understood Wu Qian very well. If he said something was true, then it really was true. He never exaggerated or concealed anything. Wu Qian felt relieved and began to look forward to it again.

"Then we should begin. Where should we go, Master? Is it right here?"

"Would Cloud like to come to my place? We need a study." Wu Qian's house didn't have a study; all her papers, expensive and cheap, were carelessly thrown together on the floor and table.

“Yes, Cloud is going to Master.”

"Okay, we'll change our clothes again to help you get into character, okay?"

Wu Xian naturally agreed.

The master was very gentle; he was willing to ask Wu Xian for her wishes.

However, the master would not compromise, and Wuqian could only choose to do it or give up.

Giving up means forever, not just for an hour, a day, a month, or a long period of time, but to sever all contact with the owner forever, with no more chances to make arrangements.

Wu Xian was naturally unwilling, so she nodded.

Hobart didn't give her any choice at all.
