Chapter 87 Two Dogs

◎Not finished yet, will finish the rest tomorrow◎

Two dogs

Yu Xu smiled and said, "Yes, I remember you. But you'll have to wait a bit; I need to finish washing it."

He smiled and patted the Schnauzer's head, the puppy rubbing against his palm contentedly. I noticed the dog's owner staring at me intently. I smiled, and she blushed—a very innocent and adorable personality.

While Yu Xu was still focused on bathing the puppy, I turned around and quietly took a mirror out of my bag.

In the mirror, there was a fairly pretty face, with fair skin and soft, watery eyes.

I took out the lip gloss, a crystal-clear, light pink, and as I carefully applied it, I secretly glanced at Yu Xu through the reflection in the mirror.

He didn't notice my little actions. He took the puppy out of the bathtub, dried it carefully with a towel, and put it in the dryer. The adorable Schnauzer's fur was blown fluffy, and it was enjoying itself comfortably.

Just as I was looking at him in the mirror, I suddenly saw his gaze turn towards me, then quickly turn back, his ears slightly red.

So he was looking at me too.

Our eyes met in the mirror. He seemed to realize that I was looking at him curiously. His lips slightly curved upwards, and his eyes lowered slightly. Because of his gentle demeanor, his eyebrows and eyes were made even more refined, and his eyes were bright.

"May I see your cat?" Yu Xu walked up to me, bent down, and squatted down. I nodded and took the cat out of the carrier.

This cat is very affectionate and snuggled up to Yu Xu.

He looked at the kitten carefully before his expression softened, and he asked politely, "I can take care of it for a while, but when do you plan to take it home?"

I bit my lip. “It… its owner is injured and still in the hospital. I don’t know when he will be discharged, but I promise I will come to the store to see it every day and I won’t abandon it.”

I opened my mouth, wanting to explain something more, but Yu Xu, seeing my worried expression, nodded at me and assured me.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of it." His tone was calm, yet it inexplicably reassured people.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Aren't you afraid I'll leave the cat here?"

"Probably not. I feel you really like it and hope your friend can come back soon. The kitten is lonely in the pet store; it's waiting for its owner to take it home."

He suddenly said such a long thing to comfort me, and my tense heart relaxed a little.

Before leaving, I kissed the kitten on the head with lingering affection. "If Jiang Mingzhuo still doesn't wake up, I'll move to an apartment where pets are allowed and take you home. Wait for me a little longer."

The kitten meowed at me several times, very well-behaved. My eyes stung slightly, but I made a promise again.

"I'll come see you after class."

As I left the pet store, I felt as if I had caught Yu Xu's faint lemon scent. Although he spent time with so many animals at the pet store, he was very clean and refreshing, which made people feel a little fond of him.

My heart was pounding. I glanced at the G-Class parked by the roadside, afraid that Yu Xu might see me through the window and misunderstand my relationship with the driver. I didn't get in the car; instead, I pretended not to know him and walked faster with my head down.

As I expected, the car followed me slowly from behind. Seeing that I didn't get in for a long time, it honked its horn as a reminder.

When I looked up, Xie Yong had already driven the car to my side.

As the car window slowly rolled down, I took a few seconds to think about what to say.

"Get in the car." Xie Yong lazily looked down at me for a few seconds.

I said, "I'm a little reluctant to part with it."

The words were cut off abruptly halfway through.

Xie Yong stared at me.

Although he didn't say anything, I knew he was angry.

Why do I have this intuition? Actually, he never curses, nor does he like to make sarcastic remarks like Jiang Zhao, and he is different from those loud and boisterous college boys who always wear their emotions on their sleeves.

Xie Yong was very well-mannered. He seemed overly arrogant and confident, but he was still normal.

But beneath his stable exterior lies a complete madman at heart.

I remembered his attitude towards Jiang Mingzhuo's car accident last night, and I was startled. I gently opened the car door and sat back in the passenger seat.

"Why did you stay inside for so long?" Xie Yong let out a light, mocking laugh. "I was almost falling asleep waiting."

"The people in the shop need to check it out. If it's not healthy, it can't be kept there," I said tentatively.

Xie Yong remained expressionless, but I could feel my heart trembling under his gaze. I didn't know what kind of answer Xie Yong wanted. And I didn't want to bring a man I'd only met twice into Xie Yong's sight.

Did he see it? Or... is he testing me as well?

An extremely subtle burning sensation spread through my heart. I became restless, and tears fell at just the right moment. "I miss it."

This should be Xie Yong's biggest weapon.

By showing weakness, relying on him, and completely obeying him, I could vaguely sense that he enjoyed this unique treatment.

"Didn't I tell you you could leave it to me, and I'll take good care of it?" Xie Yong's slender hand half-pinched my cheek, bit my lower lip, and his anger subsided considerably. He wiped away my tears and put his arm around my waist.

“That’s Jiang Mingzhuo’s cat…” I hesitated, as the man’s palm slid across my waist and abdomen. My arms instinctively wrapped around his neck. He supported himself slightly with his shoulders, and his back muscles were clearly visible under his casual shirt. He pulled me onto his lap and kissed my neck. I couldn’t help but tilt my head back and cling tightly to him.

Xie Yong suddenly leaned close to my neck and said something.

"I didn't close the car window."

I was startled. Xie Yong smiled and kissed my neck. "Don't be afraid. No one dares to watch. Even if someone takes pictures, my legal team won't let them get away with it."

He paused, then suddenly grabbed my waist. "Who dares to compete with me? In this world, besides me, no other man can interfere in our relationship. I can't let myself be like Jiang Zhao, with a third party interfering in our relationship."

[Author's Note]

The more confident a man is, the more likely he is to be proven wrong.

Cheating can happen countless times. The mistress always thinks that her move to the other woman's place is true love, but in reality, a fourth man is already rubbing his hands in anticipation.

I'll finish the rest tomorrow. I got back a bit late today, sorry!
