Chapter 275: I Have Some Interest In Dogs. Could You Bring Me to Take a Look At It?
Mo Jiangye shot his wife a look. “So you have been secretly eating lobsters here behind my back?”
The woman shrugged. “No.”
“Xiao Ruo…” Yao Tiao’s voice echoed from behind.
“Hm? What is it?”
“I think Red Bean is out of kibbles. Help me buy some when you come over tomorrow so I won’t have to make a trip to the store.”
A dark, flustered look took over her face as she hastily pulled her friend aside. “Okay, I got it. I’ll get someone to deliver the kibbles here tomorrow.”
“Great, thanks!”
Meanwhile, the man frowned. “What is this Red Bean you’re talking about?”
“It’s a dog. Yao Tiao is pet-sitting someone else’s dog.”
He was hypersensitive to dogs now, especially ones with the name Red Bean, so Mo Jiangye’s face sank even further.
“Is it a dog with red fur?”
“Bingo.” Yao Tiao nodded fervently.
“Does it look like a teddy bear?”
“Yep.”
While standing beside her, Ye Erruo secretly reached out and tugged at her friend’s arm, desperately wishing that she could get her friend’s mouth to zip up.
Her husband pressed on with a sneer. “Is it as round as a ball?”
“It used to be, but it’s all skin and bones now due to its poor appetite.” Yao Tiao, who was clueless about the situation, spilled the beans about the dog to the man.
“And it’s very fond of Ruoruo?”
“Yes, that’s right—”
The other woman hastily put a hand over her mouth, pushing against it in warning. “That’s enough. As you said, it’s getting late. We ought to head home now.”
After inhaling deeply, the man tugged at his shirt’s collar with a creepy smile. “I have some interest in dogs. Could you bring me to take a look at it?”
Yao Tiao appeared confused as she replied, “Okay.”
Ye Erruo shot a death glare in her friend’s direction. If Mo Jiangye finds out that this is Red Bean, Yao Tiao will have to take care of it by herself. I won’t be able to help her should Red Bean refuse to eat its meal again.
The other woman hesitated when she realized this. “Young Master Mo, aren’t you allergic to dogs?”
“I’ve recovered and been cured of my allergy.”
“Red Bean isn’t here today. Why don’t I bring it to you next time? Yes, how about next time?”
He pulled his wife over to him. “A sound was coming from the dog cage in the lounge.”
“That’s a cat, Young Master Mo.”
“Oh, that’s fine. I have some interest in cats too.” Upon saying that, he pulled his wife in the direction of the lounge before Yao Tiao could even react.
Ye Erruo frantically waved her free hand at her.
“Keep waving at her for help.”
“…”
The door to the lounge was kicked open with a bang.
The abrupt, loud noise startled Ji Sichen, who was inside the lounge searching for something.
“W-What’s the matter?”
The other man headed straight toward the dog cage, which was not far away from the entrance. “Open it.”
“No. Stay away from it. You can’t touch dogs.”
“Didn’t you say it was a cat?”
“…”
“Open it.”
The nerve of her! She raised that ugly mutt behind my back! How dare she do that?
“There’s nothing inside. Young Master Mo, you should step further back.”
He gripped Ye Erruo’s wrist tightly in his hand as he eyed the dog cage. “Cut the crap and just open the d*mn cage.”
“Are you guys looking for Red Bean? It went out earlier,” said Ji Sichen.
The woman heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Knowing that her husband disliked Red Bean and that he was allergic to dogs, she had tried her best to stay away and minimize her visits to the bar during this period. Moreover, Yao Tiao’s pet-sitting job would be considered complete when Bo Jinyan picked up his dog in a few days.
Hm? That’s not right. Didn’t he say he would be abroad or something? He was here earlier. Did he come to fetch Red Bean?
Naturally, her husband did not miss her relieved look and was all the more certain that the dog Yao Tiao had been taking care of was the ugly mutt that he knew!
“Ye Erruo!”
