Chapter 114 Life is a long and never-ending love poem.
A few days later, Jiang Qingying brought Gou Dan to the Jiang family home because she needed to make a new doghouse for it. If Fu Gui and Gou Dan were to squeeze into one room, they would probably make a ruckus on the roof.
The moment Gou Dan stepped into the Jiang family home, Fu Gui bared its teeth and bared its teeth. If Jiang Qingying hadn't done her homework for the two dogs beforehand, they would definitely have been furious by now.
In the living room.
Jiang Qingying, with her pregnant belly, stood between the two dogs, glanced at Gou Dan, and then at Fugui.
The two dogs dared not move in anger, glaring fiercely at each other.
Jiang Qingying was quite satisfied. Seeing Lu Jinyuan come over, she said, "Here, the rest is up to you."
Lu Jinyuan remained expressionless.
He really didn't want to be a security guard.
Qin Qing and Jiang Chen sat on the sofa watching the show, appearing indifferent and aloof.
Jiang Qingying ignored his silent protest. "I'm tired. I'm going upstairs to rest for a while. Call me when it's time to eat."
Seeing Jiang Qingying leave, the two dogs couldn't hold back any longer and were about to pounce on each other to start a fight. But the next second, the person separating the two dogs became Lu Jinyuan.
A character colder and more terrifying than Jiang Qingying.
Jiang Qingying at least showed them affection, but they could hardly feel that kind of love for dogs from Lu Jinyuan. At most, it was just his affection for his dog that extended to him. He treated them with a "good enough" attitude, neither liking nor disliking them.
The two dogs let out a howl, which turned into pitiful whimpers. They both glanced at Qin Qing and Jiang Chen sitting on the sofa, hoping to get some help.
Lu Jinyuan also looked at the two elders, "How about you two..."
Qin Qing looked away. "I'm going to the restroom."
Jiang Chen then added, "I forgot to water the flowers today, I'll go water them in the yard."
Lu Jinyuan squatted down, pressing down on the neck of one dog with one hand. He was suddenly glad that both dogs were small breeds, otherwise he might not have been able to hold them down. He let them get close to each other and smell each other's scent. He would reward the one that behaved well with a treat.
After a few rounds, the two dogs became much more well-behaved and obediently squatted in front of Lu Jinyuan.
Lu Jinyuan crossed his arms and looked at them. He had asked Jiang Qingying about their ages before. He mechanically pointed at Fugui and said in a cold tone, "It's your brother."
Then, using the same gesture and tone, he said to Fugui, "This is your brother."
"You live in harmony."
Dog Egg: Unlikely.
Fugui: This is my territory.
"If you argue, I'll stop giving you snacks; if you fight, I'll throw you all out."
Lu Jinyuan's style of doing things remained the same: after stating the conditions, he would threaten them, hitting the nail on the head and showing no mercy.

Lu Jinyuan went upstairs to find Jiang Qingying and saw her leaning against the sofa reading a book. He walked over, lifted her legs up, sat down, and then put her legs on his own.
Jiang Qingying, engrossed in her book, didn't look away. "You've got it sorted out?"
"More or less," Lu Jinyuan said. "Although the two dogs still seem unhappy, at least they haven't started arguing."
It's really frustrating. How can you be happy when you're being threatened? The two dogs are probably crying in their own den right now.
"How did you manage to do that?" Jiang Qingying asked.
Lu Jinyuan briefly recounted what had just happened, and then, upon looking up, he met her speechless gaze.
"It's very effective, isn't it?"
"......."
Jiang Qingying ignored him. As long as he could handle it, that was fine. As for what method he used, she would turn a blind eye.
Lu Jinyuan: "What book are you reading?"
Jiang Qingying showed him the cover, "It's quite interesting."
"I couldn't resist bothering you," Lu Jinyuan said. "What book is this?"
Jiang Qingying: "Just one comic book."
She flipped to a clip she had just read and laid it out in front of him, saying, "It tells some loving and interesting stories from the perspective of small animals; it's quite heartwarming and healing."
Lu Jinyuan looked down at the comic book, which featured a small shark and a large shark.
Great White Shark: "Let's ignore each other."
Little Shark: "Stare."
Great White Shark: "Hmph, we're in the Cold War."
Little Shark: "But I'm worried you'll cry!"
Lu Jinyuan chuckled softly, "It is quite interesting."
“Right?” Jiang Qingying smiled, closing the book. “Actually, it’s just some very everyday content, about the mundane things in life, like firewood, rice, oil, salt, and the warmth of human connection.”
"I remember you weren't this cute the last time we had a cold war."
"..." Jiang Qingying glanced at him, "Aren't you quite cute?"
Lu Jinyuan: "I had no choice."
Jiang Qingying: "Actually, there's another, more common way to put it."
Lu Jinyuan raised an eyebrow.
"Cold War is Cold War, but it doesn't mean I don't love you."
"Yes, I know." Lu Jinyuan smiled. "I know you love me very much."
Jiang Qingying took a breath casually, trying to change the subject without leaving a trace, "I've finished reading this book. Are you interested? If you like it, you can take a look."
Lu Jinyuan took the book from her hand without saying a word.
Jiang Qingying knew he hadn't read this type of book before, and said earnestly, "Don't always read those thick and heavy books that, apart from a bunch of grand principles and inspirational quotes, can't make you happy at all. Your image as a big boss is deeply ingrained in people's minds. Read some of these warm books to add a bit of humanity to you."
“You’re wrong,” Lu Jinyuan corrected her. “Actually, I only read books on economics and finance.”
"..." Jiang Qingying remained expressionless.
"So, your life is really bland."
"It won't happen when you're here."
Am I your toy?
Lu Jinyuan lowered his head, rubbed his temples, and explained helplessly, "That's not what I meant. I just feel that with you in my life, many things have changed."
"for example?"
"For example, when I was unhappy before, I didn't need to adjust myself and it would pass quickly, so quickly that sometimes I would doubt whether I had any bad feelings at all, maybe it was just an illusion. But it's different when you're by my side. You can notice my emotions in time, even before I notice them, and then comfort me."
Jiang Qingying pondered, "Do you know that you don't actually have very obvious expressions on your face? You look almost the same whether you're happy or unhappy, but I can always sense a slight difference, just a tiny bit different."
"Hmm." Lu Jinyuan reached out and patted her head. "That's why you're so important to me. Aside from work, you're always with me. We eat together, sleep together, go on dates, or just chat casually like this."
Jiang Qingying said, "Isn't this what people often call Xiaoman?"
Lu Jinyuan nodded in agreement.
Jiang Qingying added, "I've always felt that Xiaoman is a very romantic word. What is Xiaoman? It probably means spending every meal and season with a kind and affectionate person."
The afterglow of the summer sunset streamed into the room through the window. Through the white gauze, the orange-yellow sunlight was divided into two shadows. The bright side shone on Lu Jinyuan's face. He smiled slightly, his eyes deep and affectionate, his black pupils appearing dark brown, and the texture of his pupils could be faintly seen.
Jiang Qingying was studying when she heard him speak, his voice carrying a gentle, clear smile.
“I’ve always felt that I have nothing to do with romantic poets, but now I have come to believe that life is a long and unfinished love poem, where everything is vibrant and full of emotion.”
