On the way back, Gu Zixuan got along peacefully with Yu Yuanshen. Because she had made a decision. She had just kept Feng Chengjin last night, and Brother Yu obviously had his suspicions. It might hurt to clear things up so urgently today, explaining it in a few days would be better. She didn’t need to think too much about feelings for now. They strolled through Jiangbin Park and sat for a while. They went for breakfast, and after bringing some back, as they were out of dog food at home, they went to a pet store once it opened to buy some more. They had been out for more than three hours. Any longer, Yu Wei might wake up without breakfast and feel hungry. Gu Zixuan thought that Feng Chengjin should have left by now, so she followed Yu Yuanshen back home. But just as they arrived home, they entered the password lock and heard sounds from upstairs that made both her and Yu Yuanshen pause. After hesitating, they both went upstairs. Arriving at the bedroom door, they listened to the conversation inside. "Liang Yichao, I don’t want it." "Yu Wei, you have to." "I really don’t want it." The familiar tones and the tug-of-war conversation made Gu Zixuan’s heart tremble slightly, immediately understanding what was happening. She quickly grabbed Yu Yuanshen’s arm, "Brother Yu, wait, Weiwei is an adult." However, it was too late. Yu Yuanshen’s face turned cold, he shook off Gu Zixuan’s hand, rolled up his sleeves, and abruptly pushed open the door. Inside the bedroom, Yu Wei sat on the bed with arms crossed, smiling a little. By the bed, Liang Yichao was sitting wildly with one leg supporting him on the ground, the other swinging carelessly. His face was intriguingly wicked, and in his hand, he held a cigarette, adopting the pose of a noble young master. The two were staring at each other, with a safe distance between them, looking as if he was negotiating with Yu Wei. At his feet, there was also a dog lying curled up. Upon hearing the door open, and seeing Yu Er Ge entering with a chilly demeanor, Liang Yichao took another puff on his cigarette, his deep Mo Tong eyes narrowing with mischievousness as he flashed a procurred smile. Yu Yuanshen had pushed open the wrong door, which made his expression a bit awkward, especially since this was probably Liang Yichao’s first time being alone with Yu Wei, and he wasn’t misbehaving. Yu Wei also understood what her brother intended, and couldn’t help but hold back laughter as she glanced down at the silly-looking dog sticking its tongue out, saying, "He came to deliver a dog." She spoke plainly, but there was a hint of tattling in her tone, drawing Yu Yuanshen’s gaze downward. Upon seeing the dog’s breed, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Gu Zixuan felt the same, especially seeing that nearly adult-sized Husky...then looking at the dog that seemed dumber than Demon, seeing a new discovery by her feet, those blue eyes widened brightly, and with a clumsy jump, it rushed in front of her. Startled, Gu Zixuan clutched Demon tightly to her chest, but that didn’t stop the Husky’s enthusiasm for Demon, as it pounced towards her while excitedly "woo! woo!" barking wildly. Demon wasn’t one to show weakness, especially when Gu Zixuan held it close, giving it an aura of invincibility that made it bark fiercely at the larger dog three times its size. Gu Zixuan didn’t know what the dogs were communicating about, only the pathetic memory of the intelligent breed and the sight of the Husky’s gaping maw made her intensely protective, fearing for Demon in her arms, as her protective instincts surged to the highest level, hugging little Demon even tighter. Yu Yuanshen quickly intervened, pulling the Husky aside. But because this Husky was nearly grown, its size was hefty, Yu Yuanshen’s first attempt to restrain it failed as it succeeded in pouncing on Gu Zixuan almost knocking her down; he swiftly wrapped an arm around her waist to prevent her fall while grabbing the Husky’s collar with the other hand to pull it away. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fıre·net The chaotic scene had seemed quite entertaining to Liang Yichao who was sitting on the side, especially Yu Yuanshen’s appearance as he grappled to pull the dog back. Liang Yichao watched approvingly, with a sly grin, before quickly stepping forward "seriously" pulling back the Husky, "scolding," "Er Gouzi! Behave yourself!" Then he turned to Yu Yuanshen with a grin, "Brother, hope it didn’t scare you." For a female dog with such a straightforward name... Gu Zixuan almost fainted on the spot. Standing upright, holding onto Demon tightly, refusing to let it down to get bitten. Yu Yuanshen steadied Gu Zixuan, frowning deeply, "Who told you to bring a dog over?" Liang Yichao lifted his chin, pointing at Demon, "I saw Yu Wei likes dogs a lot, and you always say I don’t pursue Weiwei properly, so I wanted to chase her for real. Mr. Feng sent a dog for Miss Gu which you helped take care of, you won’t just kick out the dog I brought for Weiwei, would you?" Liang Yichao did not know that Gu Zixuan hadn’t told Yu Yuanshen where the dog came from, so he was very straightforward on the spot. However, in that instant, Gu Zixuan felt extremely embarrassed, especially when she felt that Brother Yu clearly knew, as his hand that was resting on her waist gave a slight pinch, then slowly let go, turning his handsome face away, "But why did you bring such a big one?" He didn’t put her in a difficult spot. Gu Zixuan blushed with a collapse-like shame. Hearing this, Yu Yuanshen found it hard to refuse, making Liang Yichao even more smug as he began to boast about himself, "This is an authentic Siberian Husky brought from Siberia, with great appearance and pure bloodline. I thought since Demon came back from the United States, he ought to need a genuine foreign bride, don’t you think? Second Brother, do you know how much effort I put into finding this dog?" Three whole hours! If I knew Second Brother and Miss Gu would come back this late, I would have had enough time to sleep with Yu Wei! Liang Yichao lamented inwardly. Yu Yuanshen’s face turned ever colder, especially when he vaguely guessed the reason and intention behind Liang Yichao’s strange behavior, making his tone even colder, "Demon doesn’t need a bride, Weiwei doesn’t need a dog, and Zixuan is afraid of big dogs, take it back." "Second Brother, that’s where you’re wrong. Demon will grow up, and it will be a big dog too. Why don’t you ask Weiwei? How do you know she doesn’t want one?" Liang Yichao persisted, and at this, seeing Yu Yuanshen’s dark and gloomy face, the amused Yu Wei couldn’t help but laugh, "Exactly, brother, Zixuan’s is also a big dog, how can you be sure I don’t want one? It’s a bit unfair, don’t you think?" Feeling teased, Gu Zixuan’s face turned even redder with embarrassment. Yu Yuanshen was left speechless with a cold, stern face. Seeing this, Liang Yichao’s eyes twinkled, and he left a sentence, "Then the dog will have to trouble Second Brother to take care of." Then he turned and ran off. Yu Yuanshen was annoyed, wanting Liang Yichao to take it back, but unfortunately, "Er Gouzi" was first, not a dog raised by Liang Yichao, so it didn’t recognize people. Second, once the hand was released, who knew how it would pounce on Gu Zixuan. So, Liang Yichao managed to slip away alive. Once Liang Yichao left, inside the house, the three of them looked at each other in growing awkwardness. Especially since everyone knew well who came up with this lousy idea. Yu Wei felt even more awkward because, although she liked dogs, she hadn’t planned on raising one. With Er Gouzi left, seeing her brother’s cold face, Yu Wei sensibly pulled up the quilt, yawned, and went back to sleep. Gu Zixuan, feeling even more embarrassed, felt that from yesterday to today, she had gone through the most dog-blood tragic chorus of her life. At this point, looking at Yu Yuanshen, she was extremely embarrassed, blushing as she held Demon and turned downstairs, "I’ll go open up the dog food and feed it..." As the two women turned around, Yu Yuanshen stood there, staring at the silly-looking husky, feeling depressed. That shadowy, cold, and fierce face made the husky sense that its new owner didn’t quite like it, so it pulled back its tongue, sitting obediently with a "dog-playing-dumb" look... That appearance, as foolish as could be, the husky’s foolishness... knows no gender. Yu Yuanshen pressed his lips coldly, unwilling to talk... Gu Zixuan took a new dog bowl for Er Gouzi, and after feeding Er Gouzi, made a nest for it on the balcony. After all, big dogs are not the same as small dogs, and Yu Wei didn’t allow Er Gouzi into her bedroom. Considering Demon’s safety, Gu Zixuan also couldn’t let Er Gouzi in. So, Brother Yu felt... even more embarrassed to be bothered. Thus, after settling everything, Gu Zixuan held Demon and returned to her bedroom. In the bedroom, Feng Chengjin had already left. Seeing that dead man leave after causing this mess, she was so frustrated and disheveled that she wished she had just let him leave yesterday, as it was he who needed to clear things up. Returning to the bathroom for a fresh shower, seeing the toothbrush in the crystal cup, she felt even more embarrassed. After washing up, she threw the wet sports shirt into the washing machine and wrapped her hair to take clothes from the wardrobe. As soon as she opened the wardrobe, she noticed it had been moved. Her heart subtly stirred, and she started to check what Feng Chengjin had moved, but when she turned to the dust-proof bag, seeing the clothes that were clearly looked at but not taken away. At that moment, Gu Zixuan understood something. She might not have realized before how much she liked him, seeing herself washing and ironing his clothes. Gu Zixuan’s face instantly flushed as red as red could be, that kind of reddening similar to the heart-stirring feelings of first love, like having her little secret discovered, and even by the person involved. A feeling that Gu Zixuan thought was very ill-timed, yet unstoppable love and heartbeat surged into her mind. At this moment, the phone rang...
