Chapter 105 Breakup
Yun Zhaozhao didn't dare to speak, only clutching her clothes tightly. Pei Jiuyan, who was beside her, wrapped his arm around her hand and asked, "How is our dog?"
"The little guy is very resilient, and the surgery was a success, but he will need to stay in the hospital for about a week."
Hearing that Yun Xiaobao was alright, Yun Zhaozhao finally relaxed.
Can we take a look at it?
Yun Zhaozhao quickly asked.
"Sure, but it's been anesthetized and hasn't woken up yet."
The veterinarian led them inside. Because of the surgery, some of the fur on Yun Xiaobao's abdomen was shaved off. When Yun Zhaozhao saw the stitched wound, her eyes reddened.
Only then did she regain her senses. Yun Xiaobao had broken ribs and internal bleeding. How could that be? It was clearly tied up.
Suddenly remembering something, her expression changed slightly: "Doctor, can you find out why it's bleeding internally?"
“We saw a large bruise on its body, which must have been caused by being kicked.”
As her suspicions were confirmed, Yun Zhaozhao's expression instantly turned ugly.
She hadn't expected the truth to be like this. No wonder Yun Xiaobao bit Fu Shangluo yesterday; it turned out he had kicked it first.
Pei Jiuyan knew that Yun Zhaozhao would never harm Yun Xiaobao. Seeing her sudden change in expression, he guessed what was going on and said with a dark face, "I'll handle this."
Recently, Fu Shangluo has been visiting Yun Zhaozhao's house the most, and Yun Xiaobao doesn't get along with him either. Besides Fu Shangluo, Pei Jiuyan can't think of anyone else.
"No, I'll handle it myself."
Yun Zhaozhao spoke slowly.
“Zhaozhao…”
Pei Jiuyan wanted to say something, but seeing the determination in Yun Zhaozhao's eyes, he gave up.
Forget it, at worst he'll just put a sack over Fu Shangluo and beat him up.
Yun Zhaozhao did not immediately confront Fu Shangluo, because Yun Xiaobao had already woken up. It had been given anesthesia and could not move. It just opened its eyes and looked at Yun Zhaozhao pitifully, making whimpering sounds.
"I'm sorry, Xiaobao. Mommy misunderstood you."
Yun Zhaozhao stroked the dog's head, her eyes filled with guilt.
Yun Xiaobao seemed to understand. It stuck out its tongue and licked Yun Zhaozhao's hand, as if to comfort it.
Yun Xiaobao needed to rest more. The pet hospital had people to take care of him, and Pei Jiuyan was also there, so Yun Zhaozhao left first.
On the way, she took out her phone and realized that Fu Shangluo had called her more than ten times, so she called him back.
"Zhaozhao, you finally answered the phone! Where have you been?"
Fu Shangluo's worried voice came from the other end of the phone.
Where are you? I'm coming right now.
Yun Zhaozhao asked.
“Zhao Zhao?” Fu Shangluo immediately noticed that Yun Zhao Zhao’s tone was off, but he still said, “I’ll be at your house right away. Don’t run around. Wait for me at home.”
Yun Zhaozhao arrived home before Fu Shangluo. She was tidying up Yun Xiaobao's toys in the yard. As soon as Fu Shangluo came in, he saw her doing this and couldn't help but say, "Don't do this. It's too dirty and full of germs. Let the servants do it."
Yun Zhaozhao kept working. It turned out that Fu Shangluo disliked Yun Xiaobao so much that she hadn't noticed before.
After tidying up, Yun Zhaozhao looked at him and said, "Do you hate Xiaobao because it bit you last time?"
Fu Shangluo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "No, why would I argue with a dog?"
"Then why did you kick it?"
Yun Zhaozhao looked directly into Fu Shangluo's eyes, giving him no chance to look away. To be honest, she hadn't expected Fu Shangluo to do something like this.
It's fine if he doesn't like Yun Xiaobao, but why hurt him?
Fu Shangluo then realized that his plan had been exposed. In fact, he regretted kicking the dog yesterday. Why did he get angry with a dog?
"I'm sorry, this was definitely my fault. It bared its teeth at me yesterday, I don't like it, and every time I see it I think of Pei Jiuyan."
Now that things were out in the open, Fu Shangluo didn't hide anything, knowing that Yun Zhaozhao didn't like being lied to.
"I'm so sorry, Zhao Zhao."
"It's not your fault."
Yun Zhaozhao put down Yun Xiaobao's toys and looked at Fu Shangluo, saying, "Brother Shangluo, you don't need to come over every day anymore."
Fu Shangluo knew Yun Zhaozhao would be angry, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so strong.
"Why?" he asked, suppressing his anger. "Just because I kicked Yun Xiaobao? Zhao Zhao, I've already apologized."
Yun Zhaozhao looked at him with some disappointment. She didn't know how Shangluo had become like this.
"Do you know why I suddenly left the studio today? Because Yun Xiaobao almost died. You kicked it and broke its ribs, and it also suffered internal bleeding."
Fu Shangluo's expression changed drastically. He truly hadn't expected this outcome, and he finally understood why Yun Zhaozhao was so angry.
"I'm sorry, Zhao Zhao, I didn't know. I just kicked him yesterday."
He genuinely hadn't expected that kick to be so severe. He knew Yun Xiaobao's place in Yun Zhaozhao's heart and would never want to kill Yun Xiaobao and hurt Yun Zhaozhao.
However, Yun Zhaozhao did not accept his reason.
Sometimes an unintentional action can better reflect a person's true psychology. Fu Shangluo's kick was probably made with a lot of force; he probably didn't even realize how much he hated Yun Xiaobao.
"Brother Shangluo, I won't go to the studio. I'll take the carving home and finish it. It won't affect the exhibition."
Yun Zhaozhao calmly stated her decision, but Fu Shangluo could not accept it.
"Zhaozhao, are you going to break up with me over a dog? In your heart, all these years of friendship aren't even worth as much as a dog?"
He didn't want to compare himself to a dog, but that's the reality; he wasn't even as good as a dog.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao looked at him indifferently: "Brother Shangluo, you once said that if we were together, you would treat me well, and treat the child in my belly as your own."
"But now you can't even tolerate a dog..."
How could she possibly believe him? The child in her womb was Pei Jiuyan's, and Fu Shangluo knew that too.
He speaks without any reservations now, but things might change once the child is born. He might think of Pei Jiuyan when he sees Yun Xiaobao, but what about when he sees the child?
Upon hearing this, Fu Shangluo's face turned deathly pale. He wanted to say no, he would definitely treat the child well, but with Yun Xiaobao's situation as an example, he had no credibility whatsoever.
But Yun Zhaozhao's words redefined their relationship.
"Brother Shangluo, it's best if we remain friends, or even siblings."
"I still need to go see Yun Xiaobao, so I won't invite you in."
Yun Zhaozhao packed Yun Xiaobao's things and left, leaving Fu Shangluo standing alone in the courtyard.
He finally managed to get Yun Zhaozhao to give him a chance, but he never expected that he would be kicked out of the game in just over ten days.
And it all started because of a dog!
"In your heart, even cats and dogs are more important than me."
"Yun Zhaozhao, I've really spoiled you too much!"
Fu Shangluo murmured, a sinister glint in his eyes that he himself was unaware of.
