Ye Xilan was taken aback, not quite believing how Feng Jingguo, with his intimidating cold looks that his family feared since childhood, could have such a connection in the dog world? But since it was brought back, just keep it. After all, the children have grown up, the grandchildren have grown up, and even the daughter of their youngest daughter, their youngest granddaughter, is twelve years old now... In recent years, the Feng Family’s old house has become increasingly quiet. Moreover, looking at this dog... for some reason, it looks so dark and handsome, quite like their third son. Let’s just keep it. Approaching, Wen Ya handed over the pre-brewed oolong tea to Feng Jingguo, and said, "Where do you plan to keep it?" Feng Jingguo paused, furrowing his brows as he shook his head, "Not keeping it!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIꜰire.net Feng Jingguo said it very firmly, leaving Ye Xilan even more surprised, "Why?" Feng Jingguo took a sip of the oolong tea, looking at the Alaskan puppy still bouncing around his trouser leg, he furrowed his brows even deeper, "Look at the dog’s tag and collar, all made of imported materials, and it’s very clean, it must have unintentionally gotten lost. The owner is probably quite anxious. A gentleman does not take what others love, I’ll return it the day after tomorrow when I go for dim sum." Hearing Feng Jingguo resorting back to his principles and cultivation, Ye Xilan nodded speechlessly, aligning with his thinking, "Alright then." The old couple, having finished the conversation, ordered the housekeeper to take the Alaskan puppy for a bath, while they went upstairs to start their bedtime routine. Everything was going smoothly until close to 11 p.m., when the old couple lay in bed. Feng Jingguo, wearing reading glasses, held up a book, habitually flipping through it before sleep. Beside him, dressed in an ice silk nightgown, the elegant Ye Xilan pondered next week’s plans, "Do you think next weekend, our third son can make progress with Miss Qi? Why do I feel like our third son is still fooling us, that his two dinners with Miss Qi were just out of courtesy, delaying on purpose?" Feng Jingguo was pondering, just about to answer. Then they heard the servant urgently murmuring in the hallway, "Hey, don’t run..." The door, half-open, was pushed in by a small black head. Its dark eyes were filled with curiosity toward the unfamiliar environment, but it perked up upon spotting Feng Jingguo. The Alaskan puppy started wagging its tail excitedly, trotting to the bedside. "Woof woof, woo..." It barked incessantly, and the servant followed in. Facing Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng, the servant was embarrassed and at a loss, "Sir, Madam, it’s just too hyper, we can’t catch it." After a pause, the servant was more nervous, "We’ll take it out right away." Then, two servants quickly came in, attempting to restrain the puppy, which had a tag with the name demon. But Feng Jingguo saw the puppy, continuously excited around him, seemingly wanting to jump on the bed covered with silk blankets to sleep next to him. He frowned and said, "Wait." The servants stopped, and Ye Xilan looked at the remarkably excited puppy, especially as it leapt around and saw the photo frame on her bedside table. Immediately, it enthusiastically ran over, stood on its hind legs, and wagged its tail crazily at the man in the picture, "Woof woof," ignoring Feng Jingguo. The man in the photo was none other than their third son, Feng Chengjin. The old couple finally seemed to understand something. Exchanging glances, Ye Xilan finally couldn’t help but frown at Feng Jingguo, "Do you think this is a hint from above?" "Our third son is destined to be a single dog for life?" Otherwise, why would he suddenly bring back a dog when he’s about to meet for the third time, and by all means, push for a formal relationship now? Feng Jingguo was taken aback, then sternly scolded, "Nonsense! My son has many women chasing after him! How could he be a single dog! And where does this crude language come from to describe one’s own son!" Ye Xilan, being scolded, also realized her wrong choice of words, glared at Feng Jingguo in frustration, and instructed the servants to take demon away, then turned her back, ready for sleep. With no noise left in the bedroom, Feng Jingguo realized he had raised his voice too much at Ye Xilan. However, this had been his temperament his entire life, and he was too lazy to change it now. Removing his glasses and closing the book, he started preparing for sleep. With his eyes closed, he could speculate on a possibility. That is, this puppy might actually belong to his son, Feng Chengjin, which is why it might have mistaken him for Feng Chengjin. Besides, whether it was the old house or Feng Chengjin’s private villa, the laundry was done at the same dry cleaners, with the same detergent scent, which might have further confused the dog. But with that unruly son who hasn’t even cared to have a woman all these years, would he have the leisure to raise a dog? And if he did, he wouldn’t leave it in such a place, where there is no property under his name? How could he find it so fantastical? Finally, Feng Jingguo couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he simply stopped thinking about it. In any case, the likelihood of this was extremely slim. And even if it were true, he took a deep breath and made a decision as he fell asleep with his eyes closed. If that guy really has so much free time to raise a dog, then he might as well use the method of that guy’s mother and find a woman to surrogate for a child, letting that bastard remain a single dog for life! The next morning, Gu Zixuan got up early, walking the lonely Angela while waiting at the tea restaurant for the old customer who took her Demon. Unfortunately, she didn’t catch him. Seeing the store clerk from yesterday, the clerk proactively promised Gu Zixuan that even if she didn’t wait, if he encountered that old customer, he would talk to them and try to bring the puppy back. Hearing this gave hope, and Gu Zixuan’s heart, which had been troubled all night, finally found some relief. After repeatedly thanking him, she immediately handed the clerk a thousand yuan in cash, saying that if he could get it immediately, that would be best; if not, to at least try to get the contact information so she could visit in person someday. Regardless of whether they find it or not, she would heavily reward them in the end. Actually, they’ve already noticed that Gu Zixuan, who comes to eat breakfast regularly, isn’t an ordinary woman. After the uproar last night, the colleagues present said that there indeed came several people who looked either rich or noble, all with impressive airs. Especially one of them, so handsome that it seemed like they’ve seen him somewhere; he just knew that the reward for finding the dog would far exceed the value of the dog itself, and far beyond his monthly salary. Thus, the clerk cooperatively made a firm promise to certainly help find the puppy. With the clerk’s assurance, Gu Zixuan felt relieved. And now, in her current state, all she could do was wait for the old customer to come by; there was nothing else she could do. So she went back to Yu Wei’s home, took a bath, did her makeup, tidied herself up, and was ready for work. But unexpectedly, before going downstairs, she received a call from Feng Chengjin. When she went downstairs, she saw Feng Chengjin’s car already waiting there outside. In the morning light, he wore a smoke-gray suit today, with a black shirt that exuded an enchanting mystery, highlighting a handsome face that made the heart flutter even more. He didn’t get out of the car, seemingly afraid she wouldn’t recognize the model. The glass on both sides was lowered, and he was making a call. With her heart gently fluttering, she approached quietly, opened the car door, and got inside. While fastening the seatbelt, she heard the conversation content. "You’re at the tea restaurant? Hmm, alright, just stay there and wait for them to come. Try not to leave these days if there’s nothing urgent, hmm... okay, give that clerk some money so he doesn’t check out and can stay there all day if possible... notify me if there’s any news." Feng Chengjin conversed while showing his side profile. Seeing her come in, the seatbelt latch didn’t fasten successfully the first time; he reached out, slid past her palm, took the seatbelt buckle, and also helped fasten her seatbelt. In these simple everyday moments, his constant attentiveness towards her made Gu Zixuan have her heart moved this morning, warmed beyond words by such a simple, unintentional gesture. Moreover, while listening to the conversation, thinking about how he was equally concerned just as she was, with similar mood and approach, Gu Zixuan’s eyelashes quivered as she looked at Feng Chengjin’s captivating side profile, feeling increasingly... Silent, she leaned against the seat with a warm heart, slightly tightening her fingers. Feng Chengjin finished the call, hung up, and turned to look at her, "Didn’t I say I’d find it? You went to bed so late yesterday; why did you go there again so early?" Going out for a walk with Angela and showing up at the tea restaurant before seven. Considering the intense work yesterday, and today being Friday, working another day, could her body handle it? Feng Chengjin’s voice was clear and gentle, carrying a warm sense of concern. Gu Zixuan felt her heart gently stirred. After he finished speaking, seeing her lower her eyes without responding, he cast a puzzled glance, "What’s wrong?" Gu Zixuan still didn’t answer. Feng Chengjin was more bewildered, thinking he might have said something wrong, paused his hand that was about to move the gear lever, leaned forward to look at her. At that moment, Gu Zixuan raised her face, and softly pecked him on the cheek. The warm touch felt slightly tingling. Instantly, Feng Chengjin’s dark pupils froze mid-air...
