smiled with relief, their minds quickly turning as several cruel schemes flashed through their heads. Subsequently, they each made phone calls.Just a phone call, and they were all taught a lesson! E...A little dog, a wet little dog, was being carried by Xiao Yi and brought to Lin Meng's face. ( ..tw good-looking novel)

It seemed that because of last night's incident, she had a bit of an argument with him. This morning, she woke up pouting, her eyes not meeting his gaze directly, as if he owed her millions. He was also in a bad mood, feeling cold inside. Coincidentally, when driving past a certain intersection, he saw a soggy little dog huddled in a small cardboard box by the roadside.

It's almost autumn, the weather is slightly cool, but this drizzle still can't escape its summery persistence, falling softly and tenderly. Although the rain is light, it has been falling continuously, making the ground quite wet. So, this fluffy little dog couldn't help but get soaked in the rain.

He suddenly had an idea and stopped the car. Regardless of whether the dog was sick or not, he picked it up. He thought to himself, "She's alone at home. Having a pet would be good company for her." Perhaps this could also help improve his relationship with her.

He was careful not to want to take home a dog that was about to die, and wouldn't want to upset her. So he first went to a pet hospital to confirm that the dog was just weak and had a minor illness, and there was no danger of death within a week. Then he took the cardboard box containing the wet little dog back home.

Finally, she was found in Lin Meng's bedroom. She sat there blankly, staring out the window, looking both pitiful and fragile. Especially with a cast on her arm, it tugged at one's heartstrings. He disliked this kind of silence from her. Although she did have a quiet side to her personality, it should have been tranquil, not this hollow emptiness that sent chills down one's spine!

“I’m back!” he shouted triumphantly.

But she just sat there, motionless, as if daring him to challenge her.

He smiled, didn't get angry, and walked over. "Look what I brought you!"

Saying that, he reached out and roughly tugged on the little dog's ears. The poor puppy, abandoned by its owner and soaked to the bone by the rain, was now being tormented by Xiao Yi. Unable to bear it, it blinked its pitiful black eyes and let out a small, plaintive "awoo—wooo," a sound that could startle Lin Meng!

She involuntarily twisted her head. Xiao Yi extended his long arm forward and handed over the slightly damp cardboard box, explaining in a low voice; "I picked it up on the way, it looked pitiful, so I brought it back. Besides, it's so small, someone might catch it and eat it!"

Lin Meng's heart churned at the words, a wave of nausea washing over her. Her eyes widened, staring daggers at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi wryly smiled. "I was just talking, I didn't even eat dog meat, why are you glaring at me!"

She looked down at the dog.

The little dog was clueless, completely oblivious to the situation. It lay there, contorting itself in cute ways and whimpering occasionally. With its innocent, pitiful black eyes, it stared intently at Lin Meng without blinking. For a moment, Lin Meng's heart softened and ached at the sight.

This little dog should be white, but right now its whole body is gray and dusty. Covered in rainwater, it's even dirtier, making it hard to see its true color. However, it's so small, only about the size of two of her palms. It looks very thin and frail, quite worrying. One might think it could die if not careful.

"Do you want to keep it" Xiao Yi asked.

Lin Meng unconsciously nodded, then shook her head abruptly, refusing in a low voice.

"No! I won't keep a dog!"

Xiao Yi laughed. "Then learn, who knows how to raise a dog right away!"

"No!" she still insisted stubbornly. "Take it!"

She was a little suspicious, wondering if this was his scheme, if there was some kind of conspiracy inside! Besides, she had been cold-shouldering him. How could she accept something he sent

No, absolutely not!

She turned her head away sharply, but from the corner of her eye, she secretly glanced at the scruffy little dog!

Xiao Yi shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

"Well, since you don't want to keep it, I'll just throw it away. Anyway, it was just found."

Saying that, without waiting for Lin Meng's reaction, he turned and strode away. His steps were clean and decisive, with not a trace of hesitation. That tall figure, truly damn cold and heartless!

Who would do such a thing, picking it all back up and then throwing it away again!

As Xiao Yi stepped out of the room, Lin Meng couldn't sit still. She quietly slid off her chair and followed behind Xiao Yi like a thief. Along the way, it turned out that Xiao Yi was really heartless; he was heading towards the garage. It seemed he was really going to send the puppy away.

Lin Meng could no longer hold it in.

"Hey!" she exclaimed urgently.

Xiao Yi didn't reply to her. He knew she was calling him, but he pretended not to hear.

"Hey!" Lin Meng hurried over, taking big steps and began to complain angrily from behind. "I'm calling you, why don't you stop!"

Xiao Yi heard the sound of her footsteps behind him and suddenly turned around. She was running a bit too fast, almost running into his arms, but luckily he reacted quickly, grabbing her shoulder with one hand and stabilizing her body. However, when he spoke, his tone wasn't good!

"Who's feeding me!"

Anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Next time you call me like that, see if I'll even bother with you!"

She stuck out her tongue in her mind, thinking to herself, she really wished he wouldn't pay attention to her anymore! But, was that so easy!

"Humph!"

She snorted through her nose, extended a tiny finger, and pointed at the pitiful little dog. In a small queenly manner, she commanded: "This dog, I want it. You are not allowed to throw it away!"

That little chin raised slightly, a hint of arrogance, but it only highlighted her pair of eyes, as innocent and pure as a puppy's, making her appear both innocent and adorable!

Xiao Yi's eyes softened, and he chuckled softly. However, he still playfully bickered with her.

"You should have said so earlier, I walked all this way for nothing!"

Saying that, she held the small cardboard box containing the puppy and walked back the way they came. She hurried after her, her steps light and quick. After all, since she had declared herself the owner of the puppy, there was no need to hide her excitement any longer.

In the bathroom, a young maid named Huazhi gently bathed the puppy while Lin Meng sat there, watching with relish. Needless to say, that small stool was naturally brought to her by Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi stood there, looking down at the three of them - two women and one small dog. However, his gaze was primarily focused on Lin Meng.

Her small face was fair and smooth, with a luster like jade. All these days, she had been forced to eat all sorts of delicacies, which plumped her up considerably. Her complexion became rosy and supple as well. At this moment, she opened her long, narrow eyes, her black pupils sparkling as she looked at the little dog. A faint smile played on her lips, making her utterly irresistible! He felt an urge to pull her into his arms and kiss her deeply.

Lin Meng was oblivious, watching the little dog's gray fur gradually turn white. Her heart leaped with joy like discovering a piece of white jade pendant. Gazing at Huazhi's soft hands gliding over the dog's body, she felt a stirring within her, wanting to give the dog a bath too. But with her right hand currently immobile, let alone touching water, she could only sit and watch.

"What kind of dog is this!"

She asked about Xiao Yi, but unexpectedly, the young maid Huazhi knew quite a bit. She smiled and replied, "It's probably a Pomeranian. With such curly fur and such a small body, just look at its perked-up ears, and its eyes and mouth, you can tell!"

Lin Meng didn't know much about dogs and wasn't too willing to delve deeper. She just wanted to know what breed it was, and she would be satisfied with that.

Xiao Yi saw that Lin Meng was quite interested, so he suggested, "Let's give it a name. That way, it will be easier to call it!"

When Lin Meng was in trouble, the first few dog names that flashed through his mind were: Da Huang, Xiao Huang, Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, Bao Bei, Wa Wa, Bin Li...

It seems, a bit vulgar!

She furrowed her brows, tilting her head in thought!

"Why not call him "Dou Dou"

"Doudou!" Lin Meng murmured, looking up at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi slightly curled the corner of his mouth, blooming a sinister and faint smile. His eyes were gentle to the point that they could drown her.

"I hope it will bring you joy, happiness, and keep your worries and troubles away. So, I named it Dou Dou—this is also my hope!"

Her heart skipped a beat, pierced by his gentle gaze. She hastily lowered her head, avoiding it. Her heart inexplicably went into overdrive, and then, like a secret being revealed, her two small ears flushed crimson at the tips!

He pursed his lips into a smirk, and his devilishly handsome phoenix eyes flashed with a brilliant shimmer!

So, she wasn't completely indifferent after all!

His mood instantly brightened, and he was even more confident about the future!

After drying the puppy's fur, Lin Meng urged Xiao Yi to take it to the doctor immediately. (..tw) After all, she knew he was very wealthy, so she wasn't shy about telling him where to spend his money.

Xiao Yi touched his nose, feeling a little reluctant. Before he came back, he was worried that something might have happened to the puppy, so he had already taken it to the pet hospital for a shot. There was no need to go again at all. But since he had lied just now, even though he was reluctant, he still carried the newly named puppy Doudou away. He was actually a very busy person with a lot of things to do, but thinking that if he personally sent the puppy to the hospital, perhaps this little woman would be more willing to let him into her heart. Thinking like this, he drove out.

Of course, he didn't go to a pet hospital. He kept track of time and went to check out his own places, handled some things, and then when he felt the time was about right, he brought the puppy back. Sure enough, Lin Meng was anxiously sitting in the living room waiting. Seeing him come back, she rushed over and asked eagerly, "How is it Is it okay!"

Xiao Yi hurried to send the puppy out, "Mumble, is there anything wrong Just take a look yourself!"

The little dog was small and light. Lin Meng could hold it with just one hand. Hearing Xiao Yi say this, he naturally knew the little dog was fine. He eagerly picked it up. Lowering his head, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Yi suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, jealous of the treatment this little dog was receiving. Had she ever greeted him at the door Had she ever smiled at him with such contentment Had she ever held him with such tenderness!

Thankfully, it was a female dog. Otherwise, Xiao Yi could think of a way to throw this little dog away in the blink of an eye!

"Give it some medicine. Later, grind it into powder and make it drink it down!"

Xiao Yi shook the medicine bag in his hand, which he had naturally prepared beforehand. He originally planned to sneakily feed the medicine to the puppy while Lin Meng wasn't looking, but seeing how much Lin Meng cherished this little dog, he decided to come clean about everything.

Lin Meng nodded, holding the puppy, and returned to the sofa. She placed the puppy on the sofa and reached out to lovingly pet its fur.

Xiao Yi saw it and felt envious. He thought, "If only this could be mine!" Then he leaned closer to Lin Meng and complained in a low voice, "You treat it better than you treat me!"

Like a child who can't get candy!

Lin Meng was stunned, gave him a sideways glance, and ignored him. She started playing with the puppy by herself.

Xiao Yi was at a loss for what to do with her, so he could only sit beside her and watch her play. After a while, he couldn't help himself, his hands twitching as he reached out to hug her. She struggled for a moment but didn't break free, helplessly rolled her eyes, and gave in.

"Hey, we should make it a nest, right! Otherwise, how will it sleep at night!"

"Let's find a small basket for it. It's still small and won't take up much space." Xiao Yi comfortably rested his chin on her shoulder, inhaling the sweet fragrance from her hair. For a moment, his heart fluttered with joy, and he felt inexplicably content.

She lowered her head, her eyes soft as she gazed at the little dog. Her profile was so gentle and serene, like a doting mother. Suddenly, an image flashed in his mind: himself, her, and a cute child. He held her, watching as she tenderly played with the baby! The child, innocent and guileless, inherited her beauty and charm. With their mouth open, drool dripping, they flailed their arms and legs, babbling away in words adults couldn't understand!

"Hee hee…" He squinted, thinking about the cozy place, and couldn't help but smile. Looking at him like that, he was so silly!

She was amused by his laughter, her body bumping backward as she quickly reminded him not to be so playful.

"What are you laughing at!" She turned her head and glared at him angrily.

He leaned in and gave her cheek a firm kiss. He thought to himself, this little girl, she's getting bolder! She just starts glaring at people now, and she doesn't even give him a good look!

But doesn't this mean that she's putting herself and him on the same level! Doesn't it mean she recognizes him, so she shows her true feelings to him!

She pursed her lips somewhat displeased, the left side of her face warm and tingling, feeling almost damp.

"Don't sneak attack me out of the blue!" she grumbled.

He pretended not to hear, and was in a good mood anyway! Besides, this surprise attack is also a kind of fun!

After that, someone came to him to discuss something. He gently kissed her cheek and went to the study. She stole a glance at him and saw that he was like a different person, with an icy expression, never smiling, his whole body radiating an aura of keeping people away. Just looking from afar, it made people feel intimidated!

"Two-faced person!"

She mumbled softly, her head bowed.

...First published by Xiao Xiang Academy...

Having a puppy means daily life becomes much busier. Taking the puppy to the vet for its shots every day is a big deal in itself. Xiao Yi had neglected many things while he focused on accompanying Lin Meng at the hospital. Now, he's finally busy doing things properly. He's even working like a top to get home earlier each day.

Letting Lin Meng take care of the puppy and take it to the doctor is also a way for Xiao Yi to find something for Lin Meng to do. This can be considered Xiao Yi's unique thoughtfulness. He has already consulted with a psychologist on this matter, saying that to help someone get rid of depression, you have to give them something to do, so that they don't have a lot of time to daydream and overthink. And it would be best if the person could achieve a sense of accomplishment through doing something, and continue doing it happily.

In the short term, Xiao Yi arranged for Lin Meng to take care of a puppy! When her hand healed, he would have her do other things. After all, she was still young and shouldn't waste her prime years cooped up in a house. Xiao Yi was happy to keep her this way, but he also knew that for her own good, she should be exposed to the outside world!

Lin Meng went to the pet hospital, naturally she couldn't go alone. Xiao Yi was afraid something might happen to her, so besides telling her to disguise herself, he also arranged for two people to accompany her. One was the female maid Huazhi, and the other was a big man who looked very capable - Qian Yimeng.

Lin Meng disliked having people follow her, finding it troublesome. Moreover, that one-eyed man was always around, making things very uncomfortable for her, so she pushed him away. Xiao Yi always complied with Lin Meng's requests, so he agreed. He then arranged for Hua Zhi to accompany Lin Meng everywhere she went. Don't underestimate Hua Zhi; this woman didn't seem like a typical maid at all. She was more like an all-powerful female powerhouse, seemingly knowledgeable about everything. Take cooking, fashion, dog care, flower cultivation—she excelled in it all. She even drove and possessed some martial arts skills!

According to Lin Meng, “It’s a waste of talent for someone as capable as you to work as a maid for others!”

Hua Zhi, upon hearing this, simply smiled and didn't offer much rebuttal or explanation. Lin Meng naturally didn't know that Hua Zhi's salary was over ten times that of an ordinary high-level female housekeeper. This person was specifically found by Xiao Yi for the better protection of Lin Meng, so naturally, she couldn't be mediocre!

Then, every day Lin Meng would go to the pet hospital with a pair of large sunglasses that could cover half her face and a puppy in her arms.

That day, the puppy finished her vaccinations and, out of habit, went to the underground parking lot with Huazhi. Today, there were quite a few cars parked in the lot, making it a bit cramped. Huazhi parked her car quite far away, about five or six minutes' walk from the entrance. Lin Meng was too lazy to go inside. The parking garage felt stuffy and poorly ventilated, so she told Huazhi to fetch the car while she waited outside.

Hua Zhi didn't think much of it, she instructed Lin Meng not to wander around, and then went to get the car.

Lin Meng stood at the entrance, idly waiting.

The little dog, Dou Dou, is getting better every day. His spirits are soaring, and he's back to his playful and mischievous self. Even though he just got his shots, he seemed pretty excited. He let out a bark, "Woof!", and then, with his tiny arms and legs, jumped right out of the pet carrier. He took off running on his little legs, scurrying forward.

"Come on, Dou Dou!" Lin Meng cried out urgently, clutching her beastskin bag, and hurried after him.

The little dog had short legs, but it was surprisingly fast. In a short while, it had squeezed under a car. When Lin Meng came over, the dog playfully burrowed under the car and wouldn't come out. Lin Meng couldn't climb down to grab it, so she had to bend down and call for it.

"Dou Dou, come out quickly, Dou Dou, come to sister here!"

Little Dodo was under the car, letting out a tiny whimper, as if acting coquettishly. This made Lin Meng both amused and exasperated.

"Doudou, be good, come out quickly. I'm going back, sister will make you delicious food!"

The little dog wagged its tail excitedly, its bright black eyes blinking innocently as it looked at Lin Meng.

Lin Meng softly called to it a few times, but it suddenly sat down on the ground with a thud. It seemed as if it was going to stay there and not get up. Could it be that it found the warmth under the car comfortable and thought this was a nest!

Lin Mengmeng couldn't understand, and found it hard to grasp what the little dog was thinking now. She looked at the dog helplessly, trying to continue communicating with it!

"Doudou, you silly goose, come out here! If you don't come out soon, I'm going to be angry!"

The little dog tilted its head, its big eyes sparkling. It whimpered twice, as if it thought she was playing a game with it. It wagged its tail happily and pressed against the ground, completely still!

Lin Meng raised an eyebrow and threatened, "If you don't come out, I won't give you any food tonight! Did you hear me No food at all! Especially not your favorite chicken liver. Not a single one!"

She soothed him like a child, but the dog wouldn't have it.

Lin Mengqi angrily stomped her foot. "You stupid little dog, you're so dumb!"

A fair and tender little face, followed by a flush of crimson, emitting an intoxicating blush that would surely steal your heart!

"One, two, three. If you don't come out by then, I'm leaving you behind!"

“One…”

Counting, she took her steps, moving away.

The little dog trotted along, barking "Woof!"

She felt pleased with herself, thinking to herself, "You still know what I'm talking about!" Then, she counted again. “Two…”

I turned my head to look, but the little dog was still not out.

She bit her lip, her heart heavy with disappointment. She couldn't just ignore it though, so after a moment of deliberation, she hesitated and mumbled: "Two point one..."

Followed by a step!

"2.2..."

Another step forward!

"Two point three…"

It's been seven or eight meters, everyone was shouting "2.9..." but the silly dog still hasn't come out.

Lin Meng's heart sank, and she angrily scolded, "You stupid dog, if you don't catch up, you'll be caught and eaten! Do you really want to die"

She widened her eyes, her black eyes, like water, stared at the dark underside of the car!

Just like that, after staring for about seven or eight seconds, Lin Meng couldn't take it anymore. She burst out laughing and muttered to herself, "Forget it, why should I argue with a little dumb dog Sure enough, I'm being foolish!"

Chuckling, she walked back and squatted down, placing the fur bag on the ground. She extended her left hand towards the puppy and smiled softly, coaxing it in a gentle voice. "Good boy, you're so cute, come out, sister will take you home to sleep. Be good, Dou Dou is the best, come out…"

As I listened, there was a sound like "click --".

Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat, almost stunned as the jet-black car door swung open before her eyes, revealing a man's leg.

This… There’s still someone in the car!

She was scared!

She thought that there wouldn't be anyone in the cars here!

Besides, the car windows were so dark, she really didn't see that there was a person hiding inside!

She looked up blankly, only to meet a face she never expected to see again, and under these circumstances of all.

Her heart skipped a beat. In the blink of an eye, her face flushed crimson. Instinctively, she felt utterly embarrassed from head to toe. Hadn't everything she just done been seen by this man

My goodness!

How does she always make a fool of herself in front of this man!

The man's noble face radiated a cool detachment. His icy eyes held little warmth, fixated on her without blinking. Those obsidian orbs were so deep and fathomless that she could see nothing but the bottom. In the very center of his gaze, she clearly saw reflected her own pitiful and ridiculous appearance!

She just sat there, frozen in place!

For a moment, my mind went blank. I never imagined we'd meet again. I thought after what happened, after we said our goodbyes, that this was it, the end. I assumed he would leave J city soon, and then we'd go our separate ways. But here he was, suddenly appearing as if from heaven itself, the car door opening to reveal him!

It's too unbelievable!

He stretched out his arm, and she stared blankly, forgetting to react.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her up, she was still a little dazed.

He suddenly pulled her into his arms, one hand carefully protecting her waist. He leaned over, creating space, gently pushing her towards the car seat. Then, he bent down, a flash of unyielding fierceness in his eyes, like a vulture preying on its target, precisely and brutally capturing her lips. He pressed against them, holding them firmly, sucking deeply as if he wanted to devour her entire mouth.

The gentle touch enveloped her lips, and she was stunned. For a moment, she couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality!em!She pushed her chair back and stood up. The chair scraped against the tiles, emitting a screech that pulled Rong Ling from his past reverie. His slightly hazy eyes regained their coldness. He turne...
