Inside the RV.
Tang Qiao and Song Shang sat facing each other, Tang Qiao staring at Song Shang with a gloomy expression.
"Didn't you say you'd take Zhu Hao away from the wolf clan? We signed a contract!"
Tang Qiao looked indignant. "You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Song Shang lazily picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of hot water, and said leisurely, "Of course not."
"Now the Wolf Lord has even brought her family here. What is this? Isn't supporting one human enough? And he's going to let his whole family abuse the wolf clan?!"
Tang Qiao's breathing became rapid, as if she were talking about something exciting, her whole body trembled, and she was extremely angry.
Song Shang frowned, his words sharp, "Our contract only covers Zhu Hao; we don't care about anyone else."
"I know!" Tang Qiao slammed her hand on the table angrily. "But you haven't even resolved Zhu Hao's issue, have you? Don't forget, contracts have an expiration date! Your time is running out!"
Song Shang's eyes were dark, and he exuded a sharp aura. "Are you threatening me?"
"Of course not." Tang Qiao stood up and looked down at him. "I'm just reminding you that if you don't hurry, you'll explode and die."
"Also, Zhu Hao's family will naturally leave with him. You just need to make sure that Zhu Hao stays away from the wolf clan and the wolf lord on his own initiative."
As soon as Tang Qiao finished speaking, without waiting for Song Shang's response, she turned and left without looking back, leaving only an angry back view.
Bang!
The RV door was slammed shut, causing the entire vehicle to shake violently.
Song Shang ignored him, his slender fingertips rhythmically tapping the table.
Da da da...
“Heh…” Song Shang suddenly chuckled.
The image of Zhu Hao's beautiful face floated into his mind, and imagining her bewildered look as he bewitched her, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

study.
Tang Song sat at his desk, occasionally craning his neck to look at Zhu Hao beside him.
[Tsk tsk tsk... Drawing again, drawing again, drawing clothes for that slutty fox again, why doesn't she design one for me?! Humph!! So annoying! That slutty fox is so fussy! So annoying! Awooo~]
Tang Song looked gloomy, twirling his pen between his fingers, but he didn't look at the document for a long time.
The howling of wolves echoed in Zhu Hao's ears, making it impossible for her to concentrate on her painting.
Snap!
Zhu Hao slammed the pen on the table and stared at Tang Song with a serious expression.
【Aww~ Waaaaah~ Uh... Why is the cub looking at me like that? Did I disturb her? I didn't even move... I just twirled my pen...】
Zhu Hao puffed out his cheeks, stood up, snatched the pen from his hand, tore off a piece of draft paper, and slapped it in front of him.
【Awoo~】
The wolf's howl lingered for several turns, long and continuous, like a pitiful whimper.
Zhu Hao gave a helpless twitch of his lips, picked up his pen, and wrote on the paper, "Quiet! I'll make it for you after I finish drawing Song Shang's clothing design!"
Tang Song blinked, staring incredulously at the line of words on the paper.
[Awoo~ Awoo~ Hahaha! Awoo~ The cub said it's going to design clothes for me!? Hahahaha!]
The wolf howls grew louder.
Zhu Hao stared at Tang Song with a hesitant look, wondering if she should just give up. Why was this guy getting even noisier?!
She was about to pull away the draft paper when Tang Song pressed it down before she could, replying in a deep voice, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you go ahead and do your work."
[Urgent! I'm so anxious! But I can't delay the baby's work! Aww~ I'm so happy! The baby said he'd make me clothes! Hehe~ So happy~]
Zhu Hao's lips twitched as he stared at the large hand pressed against the paper, trying to reach out and pull it off.
?
Can't pull it?
Tang Song was quite protective of her...
Zhu Hao chuckled helplessly, the wolf howls around him growing louder than before.
She silently brushed the hair behind her ears down to cover them, but it had little effect.
Zhu Hao returned to his seat, stared at the half-finished design draft, bit his lip, and sighed.
She wasn't annoyed by Tang Song's noise at all; in fact, the corners of her mouth even unconsciously turned up.

Fang Family Villa.
Fang's mother sat solemnly against the headboard, while Fang's father lay beside her, fast asleep with his eyes closed.
After a moment of contemplation, Fang's mother glanced down at Fang's father and, seeing him sleeping peacefully, clicked her tongue softly.
She reached out and nudged him. "Get up!"
Mr. Fang jolted awake, his eyes snapping open. He rubbed his hair in annoyance, his voice tinged with displeasure at being woken up. "What are you doing?!"
"I just realized that even though the Xiao family has fallen, this engagement isn't null and void yet!"
As soon as Fang's mother finished speaking, Fang's father instantly sobered up.
His expression was cold as he calmly considered the situation. "That won't do! We can't let them drag the Fang family down! We're already facing difficulties with many projects because of the Xiao family, and we can't afford to have any more dealings with them."
Mother Fang frowned deeply. "But at this critical juncture, wouldn't it damage the Fang family's reputation if we broke off the engagement?"
"Why think so much? The Xiao family isn't necessarily so kind to us. Didn't Madam Xiao always look down on us before? Do you expect us to treat them with respect now that they've fallen on hard times?"
Fang's mother paused, but did not refute, "What about Xiaoling?"
Mr. Fang pondered, "She is usually obedient and doesn't have many opinions."
Fang's mother pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Hey!" An idea suddenly flashed through Mr. Fang's mind. "How about this? Anyway, there hasn't been any progress with Zhu Hao, and Xiao Ling is single again now. How about letting Xiao Ling try to get to know Tang Song?"
"Xiaoling is obedient. If the two of them really like each other, let Xiaoling act cute, and we're not afraid that Tang Song won't help us?"
As Mr. Fang spoke, he became more and more agitated. He sat up straight and stared at Mrs. Fang with shining eyes. "We've run into a wall with Zhu Hao several times. Why don't we just try someone else? After all, our target is Tang Song, not Zhu Hao."
Fang's mother was clearly tempted, but still hesitated, "But..."
Mr. Fang looked impatient. "What's with the 'buts'? Even if you can get through to Zhu Hao, can you guarantee she'll always be obedient? Can you guarantee Tang Song won't get tired of her? She's deaf and mute! Nobody wants to raise a cripple forever! Tang Song is only interested in her now. What if that novelty wears off? Won't she just be thrown away like a rag doll?"
"No, didn't you see Tang Song's attitude towards Zhu Hao at the hospital? It wasn't like he was just playing around; he was so considerate, as if he wanted to keep her in his pocket all the time."
Mr. Fang looked disdainful. “You still don’t understand men, especially men like Tang Song who are at the pinnacle of power. What kind of woman can’t they have? Zhu Hao is just a little pretty. She’s weak-willed and can’t listen or speak. Tang Song is being so considerate now because he’s still interested. He’s not short of women. Once he loses interest, he’ll transfer that consideration to someone else.”
Fang's mother was still hesitant, feeling that it wasn't like that. A woman's intuition is very accurate; she could sense that Tang Song's feelings for Zhu Hao were genuine and not just a fling.
Seeing that Mrs. Fang still didn't believe him, Mr. Fang lost his patience. "How about this! Do it on both sides at the same time?"
