Chapter 148 The smile will not disappear, it will only shift. When Xia Zhining heard the word "relatives and friends", her nose felt a little sore.

She reached out and gently rubbed Dark Star's furry head, her voice a little soft:

"These... these are too expensive. I'll just take some snacks!"

Gu Huaiye scoffed lightly and looked at her with a raised eyebrow: "Expensive? This little thing is considered expensive for a big shot who earns 1.3 million a day?"

There was a clear hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Didn't someone brag to me back then that he made 1.3 million in one day?"

Xia Zhining was choked and speechless for a moment, muttering softly: "That, that was just that day..."

Gu Huaiye glanced at the mountain of gifts and said nonchalantly, "Take it. Consider it a reward for eating well and exercising seriously lately."

He paused, then added with a hint of disgust: "Besides, this is all covered in some dog's saliva. I don't want it."

Xia Zhining burst out laughing, bent down, hugged Anxing's neck, and gave it a kiss on its furry forehead.

She raised her head, looked at Gu Huaiye with sparkling eyes, and said in a sweet and bright voice: "Thank you, little cutie Anxing~ and thank you, Boss Gu!"

Gu Huaiye only uttered an extremely perfunctory "hmm" from his throat. The car window glass vaguely reflected his seemingly cold profile, and... the faint blush that had quietly spread to his earlobe at some point.

The car slowly drove into the zoo.

As soon as Xia Zhining and Gu Huaiye got out of the car, they saw a large truck parked in an open space.

Several staff members were busy carrying chicken coops down from the truck. Next to them was a donkey being led by the staff, leisurely chewing on a carrot.

Gu Huaiye raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Zhining with a hint of ridicule:

"What's going on? Are you planning to open a farm in the zoo?"

Xia Zhining scratched his head uncomfortably: "That's not the case..."

"When I went to the village to catch tomb robbers, I promised Aunt Hen and Uncle Donkey that I would help them 'redeem themselves'."

She went on to explain: "I fulfilled my promise a month ago and then sent them to the quarantine station for isolation and observation. They underwent a comprehensive physical examination and deworming."

"Now that all the procedures are complete, they can finally officially move into the zoo."

Gu Huaiye looked at the lively scene in front of him, and his forehead couldn't help but jump: "How are you going to accommodate these... hens?"

There was a hint of foreboding in his tone. "Could it be growing on the lawn next to my RV and tent?"

Xia Zhining quickly waved her hands: "No, no, how could that be possible! Chicken aunts can't help but relieve themselves anywhere."

She smiled and pointed to the distance, "I built a new chicken coop in that wasteland behind. I hired someone to clean it up, it's very clean!"

Gu Huaiye was still worried: "Is it well built? Will they come out and check on my tent in the middle of the night?"

Xia Zhining swore: "Absolutely not! Don't worry~"

Gu Huaiye glanced at her, half believing and half doubting: "That's the truth."

After saying that, he turned and left, holding Anxing's hand.

The energetic big dog excitedly rushed ahead and ran towards the Snow Leopard House.

Gu Huaiye was still looking down at his phone, completely unaware that he was being led by Anxing, and was concentrating on his work.

Xia Zhining opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.

Forget it, forget it. It looks like... Mr. Gu might have to be a "temporary nanny" in the Snow Leopard House again today.

It has been more than half a month and the little snow leopard should miss him. Besides, the little snow leopard has grown a lot now, so Gu Huaiye can see the changes in the little snow leopard.

Xia Zhining smiled secretly and followed the man and the dog, ready to watch the fun.

When Gu Huaiye looked up from the email on his mobile phone, he was shocked to find that he had been accurately "navigated" by Dark Star to the door of the Snow Leopard House.

The snow leopard keeper who was cleaning looked up, surprised and happy:

"Mr. Gu, you're back home? What a treat! Come and see the little snow leopard! This little guy has grown so fast lately!"

He enthusiastically moved aside to invite Gu Huaiye into the house.

Dark Star couldn't wait to circle around, barking in agreement: "I want to see little Snow Leopard!"

Gu Huaiye sighed helplessly, put away his phone, and let the excited Anxing "drag" him into the house.
