Chapter 139 Extra: Love Me, Love My Dog
Shen Jingni is currently in the rising phase of her career, so she has been very busy lately.
She went to Paris to attend fashion shows at the beginning of the year and met several internationally renowned designers.
Oath of Love plans to collaborate with Caelum of Moore, but the specific plans and designs are still under discussion.
Zhao Zonglan was fine, no different from usual. After all, any one of Jingyao's senior elites could stand alone and be in charge. As the chairman, he didn't need to do many things personally.
Gun Gun hasn't had a good appetite lately and has lost weight. He's seen a doctor twice, but they haven't found anything wrong.
Shen Jingni believes that it must be because she has been too busy lately and has not had time to play with it, which makes Gun Gun unhappy.
In the morning, Zhao Zonglan was taking her to work.
Shen Jingni yawned deeply, her face still showing signs of weariness. She picked up the coffee on the small table in front of her, took a sip, and said to Zhao Zonglan, "Brother, I might have to work overtime tonight. Remember to take Gun Gun out to play, okay?"
Zhao Zonglan frowned slightly. "More overtime?"
This is the third time this week.
Shen Jingni nodded, looking helpless. "We've been working with Caelum recently, so we need to keep an eye on everything, from product quality to advertising, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Although Shen Jingni is a lazy person, she believes that if she does something, she should do it well.
Zhao Zonglan would not interfere with her work, but he did not encourage her to work overtime.
“Honey, companies that require too much overtime will have a hard time retaining employees, and employee efficiency will also be low, making it easy to achieve less with more effort.”
Hearing him say that, Shen Jingni put down her coffee, puffed out her cheeks, and looked at him: "Working overtime is normal. Which company doesn't have busy times?"
"All you're saying is that you don't want to spend time with Gun Gun!"
Zhao Zonglan: "..."
Okay, he really didn't want to accompany him.
Seeing that Zhao Zonglan didn't speak, Shen Jingni got angry and said righteously, "Zhao Zonglan, when we adopted Gun Gun, didn't we agree that we would raise it together?"
"You must take responsibility."
"You can't go back on your word."
They're accusing him again.
Zhao Zonglan felt that he had already been very responsible.
They provide it with food and shelter, and even have servants take it out for walks every day.
That dog is already living a life of luxury.
Shen Jingni's little mouth was still babbling accusations, "Don't think I can't tell, you just don't like it!"
"You're probably thinking to yourself, 'I don't want it, I don't want to keep it, so why don't you just take me too...'"
Zhao Zonglan would not allow her to finish saying that last sentence.
He leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips. "Sweetie, it's okay to be angry, but don't say anything out of line."
Shen Jingni turned her face away and ignored him.
It's always like this; she gets furious, while he remains calm and rational.
You jerk.
Zhao Zonglan understood her stubbornness; at times like this, reasoning with her was useless, and the only thing that could be done was to coax her.
"It's not that I don't want to keep it."
"How about we take it out to play tonight?"
Shen Jingni then glanced at him sideways.
However, he still didn't say anything.
She wanted to see how he performed first.
Since Song Yanting left the capital, Song Qiyu's workload has indeed increased significantly, but after half a year of adjustment, he has adapted.
Rong Zaiyi went abroad for more than half a year and only returned last month. Although she is still working at Dingcheng, she is not working as hard as before.
A few young masters have arranged to drink at Fenghua Palace today.
Rong Heng arrived early and immediately started complaining as soon as he sat down: "I was thinking of taking a break and going out to play for a few days after my third sister came back, but who knew she wouldn't even take care of the new project and dumped it all on me~"
The young master started to feel aggrieved again.
Song Qiyu comforted him from the side: "It's okay, you'll get used to it. Besides, given your mother's personality, she wouldn't really let you get tired."
The old lady of the Rong family dotes on Rong Heng and would never let him suffer. It can only be said that this young master is too spoiled and lazy.
Xie Chengsui walked in, an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, and under his slightly open red shirt, obvious traces of intimacy were visible.
Upon seeing this, Song Qiyu clicked his tongue lightly, "Oh, looks like it just ended."
Guanglin bowed and lit a cigarette for Xie Chengsui.
He took a deep breath and said casually, "I picked it up a couple of days ago when I was on a business trip to Nancheng. It's a really great piece of clothing."
Song Qiyu scoffed, "Superficial and frivolous."
Xie Chengsui didn't take it to heart. Let him be reckless, it's not like he can't afford to be reckless.
He sat on the sofa, glanced up at Song Qiyu, and said, "What's so superficial about love between men and women?"
"You...you're not still a virgin, are you?"
Rong Heng was not interested in these romantic tales, but when he heard Xie Chengsui ask such a question, he immediately perked up, his big, dark eyes staring at Song Qiyu with gossip in them.
Song Qiyu coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, his ears suddenly turning red. "I... I was just being respectful to Can Can. I wouldn't cross the line until she agreed."
Zhao Zonglan happened to hear this when he brought Gun Gun in.
He commented in a calm voice, "That's good. Don't be like Tang Guanyue, who just does ridiculous things."
Tang Shu's older brother, Tang Guanyue, was seriously injured by his girlfriend. Although he survived, he is still recovering at home. This incident not only severely damaged his body, but also caused him to lose his beloved forever.
Song Qiyu quickly chimed in, "Fifth Brother, don't worry, I'm nothing like him."
Zhao Zonglan glanced at Xie Chengsui again and added casually, "Don't be like Xie San. It's not shameful for a man to keep himself clean."
Xie Chengsui: "..."
Fifth Brother is indirectly saying he's dirty.
He flicked off the ash from his cigarette, his fox-like eyes narrowing with a smile. "Fifth Brother, this is my only hobby."
Zhao Zonglan remained silent.
Gun Gun was very well-behaved. After wagging its little tail and following Zhao Zonglan in, it squatted on the carpet at his feet, watching him without running around.
They had all seen Gun Gun before, so they weren't surprised.
Rong Heng loved puppies, so he had someone bring over some dried meat and fed it while playing with it.
"Why did Fifth Brother bring Gun Gun today?"
"Is your sister-in-law working overtime again?"
Shen Jingni has been busy with work lately and rarely attends gatherings in the industry, which is something everyone knows.
Zhao Zonglan responded calmly.
Mentioning Shen Jingni, he glanced at Gun Gun, who was having a great time playing with Rong Heng.
He took out his phone, snapped a picture of the person and the dog, and sent it to Shen Jingni.
At that time, Shen Jingni had just finished a meeting with the two directors of the planning and publicity departments and finalized the plan.
She opened WeChat.
Although she was happy to see Zhao Zonglan personally taking Gun Gun out to play, it wasn't enough.
Shen Jingni: [Look at Rong Heng, he knows how to play with Gun Gun, why don't you hug it? Don't be so indifferent.]
Zhao Zonglan looked at the WeChat chat box, frowning and sighing helplessly.
They're getting harder and harder to appease.
The little guy is making more and more demands on him.
He took a small sip of his drink, looked at Song Qiyu, and asked in a cool tone, "Can you take pictures?"
The best and largest private room on the second floor of Fenghua Palace was specially reserved by Xie Chengsui for his friends to have a get-together.
The waiters were waiting at the door with the dishes.
The manager in charge carefully pushed open the door and led his people inside.
They moved very quietly, as if afraid of disturbing their distinguished guests.
But as soon as they entered, they saw Young Master Song bending over, holding his phone, taking pictures of Mr. Zhao.
Meanwhile, Mr. Zhao, who is usually aloof and unapproachable, sat on the sofa with a dog in his arms.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Prince Rong was still directing from the side: "Fifth Brother, don't tighten the reins so much, it will be uncomfortable."
"Why don't you smile? Your cold face is scary."
These are Rong Heng's true feelings.
Fifth Brother is handsome, but he's cold and aloof, and doesn't seem very human.
Zhao Zonglan's expression darkened slightly, and he glared coldly at him.
Rong Heng suddenly shivered and hurriedly pulled his teammate aside, "Third Brother Xie, what do you think?"
Xie Chengsui has much higher emotional intelligence than him, so he wouldn't be so blunt.
"Fifth Brother, this photo is for your wife, right? Smile more gently, she'll be happy to see it."
Song Qiyu, the cameraman, chimed in, "Yes, yes, Fifth Brother, smile, then bend down and tease the glutton, and I'll snap a picture."
Song Qiyu didn't know how to take photos before.
But after spending a lot of time with Qin Muhuan, he naturally developed his skills due to her picky nature.
Zhao Zonglan couldn't bring himself to smile at the dog.
But he was willing to act in order to appease Shen Jingni.
So he smiled and curved his lips at the camera.
Then, following Song Qiyu's instructions, he raised his hand to hold the little paw of the tumbler, and quickly put it down again.
I don't want to have any contact with it for even a second longer.
Although the waiters were surprised by what they saw, they didn't dare to look for long. After serving the dishes, they quietly withdrew.
When Shen Jingni received the photos, she was discussing the name of the new wedding dress series with several designers.
She couldn't help but laugh when she saw the people and dogs in the photo.
Chu You, who was standing next to her, asked, "Boss, have you thought of a good name yet?"
Shen Jingni shook her head and said to them, "Let's call it a day. Everyone has worked hard. We'll continue our discussion tomorrow."
Chu You was the most excited: "Yay, long live the boss!"
...
After leaving Fenghua Palace, Zhao Zonglan had his driver take him directly to the building in front of Shen Jingni's company.
This has been going on for a while now.
She gets off work late, so he comes to pick her up.
But the stubborn girl wouldn't let him in, saying it would disturb her work.
Gun Gun played in Feng Hua Palace all night, and now he's probably tired. He's lying next to Zhao Zonglan, being very well-behaved.
Zhao Zonglan glanced at it sideways.
Actually, this dog isn't that annoying.
He reached out and touched its head.
Feeling the warm touch, Gun Gun stretched out its neck and rubbed against his palm.
Shen Jingni came out of the company gate and got straight into her car.
She tossed her bag to Zhao Zonglan, then picked up Gun Gun and asked gently, "Did you miss me?"
Gun Gun let out two sobs, as if in response.
Zhao Zonglan put her bag aside, scooped her into his arms with one hand, and said in a low voice, "It had a lot of fun today, so it probably doesn't want to."
Shen Jingni, of course, did not believe it.
He looked at her, his eyes deep, "But I miss you so much."
Although the two had been together for almost a year, Shen Jingni was still a little overwhelmed by his sudden sweet words and deep affection.
Too seductive.
In the dimly lit carriage, occasional streetlights shone in, flashing across her slightly flushed cheeks.
Shen Jingni leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips.
Just like when he kissed her.
Her voice was sweet, and she made no attempt to hide her emotions, "I miss you too."
Zhao Zonglan pressed his lips to hers, his breath hot, and asked in a deep voice, "How much do you want it?"
Shen Jingni did not answer.
He wasn't in a hurry to ask further questions.
But his sexy Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he said in a low, husky voice, "Tell me slowly when we get home."
The word "slow" refers to the fact that time seemed to pass very slowly for Shen Jingni tonight.
But undeniably, it was enjoyable.
What Zhao Zonglan gave her was always top-notch.
The South Building is being rebuilt and is almost finished.
This was also what Zhao Zonglan wanted to give her.
In romantic relationships, it's perfectly normal to occasionally experience something new; there's nothing shameful about it.
But Shen Jingni was unaware of this.
All she knew was that Mr. Zhao took good care of Gun Gun during the time she was working overtime.
From initial disdain and dislike to current compromise and cooperation.
He is changing for her little by little.
The process was lengthy.
But the tendency to extend that affection to everything connected to the beloved is undeniable.
