Chapter 895: 895, Mr. Xiao doesn’t seem to like dogs very much.
Chapter 895: 895, Mr. Xiao doesn’t seem to like dogs very much.
The next day.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Mo Group.
Zhong Kai had just picked up a thick stack of documents intending to enter the secretary’s office to delegate work when a series of footsteps suddenly sounded from behind.
The volume was low, yet the steps were steady and regular.
Having followed Xiao Yebai for many years, Zhong Kai immediately recognized that it was him coming out, and reflexively turned around, “Chairman, is there anything else you’d like to instruct?”
This pile of documents was all about the shops invested in by Mo Group, which Xiao Yebai said he wanted to reorganize and assign to a dedicated person to manage.
The workload was substantial and rather cumbersome and complex.
Zhong Kai naturally assumed the chairman had further instructions, but who knew…
“I’m leaving work early, send it to my email once you’re done,” Xiao Yebai said, and then he left.
Zhong Kai, still holding the documents, stood there, dumbfounded.
Leaving work early?
Struggling, he lifted his left hand to glance at his watch.
Five o’clock!
During the many years he had followed Xiao Yebai, occasions when he left work on time were few and far between.

Not to mention since he became chairman, these days he arrived at the company at nine in the morning, and wouldn’t leave until at least seven or eight in the evening, having both lunch and dinner at the company.
Zhong Kai was utterly puzzled.
Could it be that the former chairman’s health had issues?
Or was there news about the Little Princess?
**
Actually, Xiao Yebai was going to pick up Bai Xiaobai from the pet hospital…
That’s right.
Although he was very averse to this moronic name, he couldn’t ignore the instructions given by Aunt Zhou.
Driving to the address, he had thought that the building would look similar to other hospitals, but to his surprise… it was pink and cute.
Xiao Yebai furrowed his brow.
But he had no choice but to go inside, take a number, and wait in line.
Fortunately, since it was a workday, there weren’t many people at the hospital, and the wait wasn’t long.
Soon, a vet in a white coat came over holding the recovered Bai Xiaobai, “You must be Mr. Xiao, right?”
Xiao Yebai nodded.
“Hello, your Bai Xiaobai has recovered. Look how lively the little fellow is.”
Bai Xiaobai immediately barked several times at someone.
Xiao Yebai: “……”
Indeed, quite spirited.
The vet had already handed Bai Xiaobai over.
Xiao Yebai continued: “……”
His handsome face was cold, he remained silent, and did not reach out.
The vet perplexed, “Mr. Xiao?”
A young female assistant beside him also looked at him.
Finally, Xiao Yebai spoke, “Put it down.”
Bai Xiaobai immediately barked again!
The vet: “…”
Alright then.
It seemed that Mr. Xiao wasn’t very fond of dogs.
Still, bringing the dog to the hospital for treatment was commendable; as a vet for many years, he had seen the number of people owning pets increase, but not many truly cared for their pets.
Most waited until the pet was seriously ill before bringing it to the hospital for treatment, which caused many pets to suffer repeatedly from illness.
Some were even abandoned by their owners due to expensive treatment costs, ending up as stray cats and dogs.
Mr. Xiao, with his refined and cool appearance and expensive attire, seemed not to like dogs much, but he managed to send for medical treatment and came to pick up the pet promptly…
Could it be his girlfriend’s pet?
The vet made a full narrative internally, then put Bai Xiaobai down on the ground and took a form from the side, briefly explained Bai Xiaobai’s condition while writing.
Xiao Yebai, his fingers distinct with knuckles, held the leash, and listened with an expressionless face.
With that cold appearance, it was unclear whether he took any of it in…
When the vet handed him the document, “Please sign here.”
Xiao Yebai lowered his gaze and signed his name.
“By the way, if it’s possible…” the vet said, then coughed.
Xiao Yebai’s attire, as well as the air of affluence he exuded, clearly suggested it was possible.
He continued, “Gastrointestinal diseases are often caused by improper diet, and dogs are prone to these kinds of illnesses. We recommend choosing dog food that conforms to specifications, as it’s more nutritionally balanced than homemade food. Also, you can buy some chew sticks for the dog to exercise its chewing ability.”
Xiao Yebai: “How much?”
His voice was low but crisp.
The veterinarian coughed twice, “Weiwei, you take Mr. Xiao next door to the pet store.”
“Okay,” the young female assistant nodded promptly.
**
The pet hospital was adjacent to a specialized pet store that sold various items and also boarded quite a few pets.
Xiao Yebai, holding the dog leash, followed assistant Weiwei out of the hospital and headed towards the pet store.
Only, it was uncertain if it was due to recovering from a serious illness, but Bai Xiaobai would stop every few steps it took, dilly-dallying and shuffling along.
When it once again plastered its nose to the ground to sniff around and refused to move, Xiao Yebai bent his head to look at it, his handsome brows slightly furrowed.
Weiwei, standing aside, waited for a while and, to break the awkward silence, initiated a conversation, “Mr. Xiao, your Labrador is really cute. What’s its name?”
Xiao Yebai said nothing.
Weiwei: “…”
Awkward!
She had felt that Mr. Xiao was rather cold in the hospital but at least he had been polite. Why was he now completely ignoring her?
Just when she thought the man wasn’t going to speak…
“Xiaoyi.”
“Xiaoyi?” Weiwei was stunned for a moment before realizing, and then quickly said with a smile, “That’s such a cute name, just as adorable as it looks!”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
Such a disobedient dog, where was the cuteness?
As for the name…
Xiao Yebai kept his handsome face cold as he suddenly yanked the leash.
Bai Xiaobai stood its ground, not moving, and barked twice in protest.
Weiwei then said with a smile, “Mr. Xiao, let me carry it for you so we can move faster.”
In the hospital earlier, Mr. Xiao seemed to really dislike dogs…
And with it dawdling like this, it was really holding things up, she still had to get back to work.
Xiao Yebai didn’t say anything.
“Shall I carry it for you? That way we can go faster,” Weiwei offered kindly again.
Xiao Yebai appeared to be growing impatient too, he nodded, his voice indifferent, “Fine.”
Weiwei hurried over, bent down, and was just about to extend her hands…
“Woof woof!” Bai Xiaobai suddenly yelped twice.
Xiao Yebai: “…”
Weiwei was also a bit scared.
How had that cute, soft little dog suddenly become like a mad creature?
She reached out again…
“Woof woof!” Bai Xiaobai stiffened its neck, its fur nearly standing on end, barking even more miserably, as if it had encountered something terrifying.
“Mr. Xiao, this…” Weiwei looked at Xiao Yebai, her expression bitter.
This was a first for her.
She had been fond of small animals since childhood and had a sweet and friendly appearance. This was the first time she’d encountered a dog that resisted her so much.
Could it be…
Because this dog didn’t like being held by people?
No, that couldn’t be right. When Doctor Wu held it earlier it had been quite well-behaved.
Xiao Yebai didn’t speak, simply pulling on the dog leash expressionlessly once more.
The next second, Bai Xiaobai scampered forward on its little short legs.
Watching the tall, aloof man being “led away” by the Labrador puppy, Weiwei: “……”
**
Once they were inside the pet store, Weiwei mentioned the brand, and soon a clerk brought over a large bag of dog food.
Xiao Yebai glanced at it, “I’ll take two bags.”
“Alright, just a moment.” The clerk set down the dog food and went back to get the second bag.
Weiwei couldn’t help suggesting, “Mr. Xiao, you’re buying so much dog food, the little dog won’t be able to finish it all. You could come back to buy more after it’s finished, otherwise it might go to waste if it expires.”
Xiao Yebai actually explained, “There’s another one at home.”
“So you have two dogs at home? Is the other one also a Labrador? What’s its name?” Weiwei wondered if its name was Xiaohua.
Xiao Yebai answered, “Xiaohua.”
“Xiaohua…” Weiwei’s expression was hard to contain.
Unexpectedly…
This man, who appeared so indifferent, actually had such a cutesy side in private.
Handsome, wealthy, a dog owner, and even giving his dogs such adorable names…
“How is this fed?” Xiao Yebai suddenly asked.
Weiwei, however, seemed a bit mesmerized.
When she first saw him at the hospital, she thought this man was so handsome.
But because his demeanor was so cold, and he was so icy and stern-faced, she didn’t dare to look closely.
Perhaps because they had spoken a few words, Xiao Yebai didn’t feel so distant to her anymore, and so she dared to take a closer look, only to discover…
…that his face was exquisite and absolutely perfect!
Especially those peach-blossom eyes, beautiful and enchanting, deep and affectionate…
Xiao Yebai didn’t hear any sound and raised his eyes to look at her.
“Ah?” Weiwei snapped back to reality, quickly lowered her head to hide the flush on her face, “Mr. Xiao, what did you just say?”
Xiao Yebai’s brows furrowed slightly, just about to speak.
“Xiao Yebai!”
Suddenly a familiar voice rang out from behind.
Xiao Yebai looked up.
It was Su Wanwan.
She was leading a black wolfhound, her eyes fixed intently on Weiwei.
Mo Weiyi had left, Shi Huan was busy preparing for study abroad exams and the wedding, Huo Jingshen went to work at the company; only she was free every day.
She had come to this pet shop on a whim today to buy some things, and she hadn’t expected to run into Xiao Yebai.
And he had a little bitch with him nonetheless!
Could it be?
It hadn’t even been two months since Weiyi left, and the scumbag already had a new girlfriend?
And this woman…
Where was she as pretty as Weiyi?
At best, she could only be considered clear-cut! Ordinary! Nothing remarkable!
Su Wanwan was fuming and, without waiting for Xiao Yebai to speak, said with a nosy tone, “Oh, a new girlfriend huh?”
Xiao Yebai showed little expression, while Weiwei’s face turned beet red.
“No, you’ve got it wrong, I and Mr. Xiao…”
She glanced at the handsome and refined man beside her, her voice faltering, “Today is the first time we’ve met; I’m just helping him shop.”
As if trying to cover up!
Su Wanwan snorted internally with a sarcastic tone, “Look at you Xiao Yebai, can’t stand being lonely? How long has it been that you can’t restrain yourself? But it’s normal, I guess, since men, well, could cheat even when married, and now after divorce, naturally you’re even more free to do as you please.”
Weiwei stood there startled.
Mr. Xiao… divorced?
The KO at her feet tilted its head, looking dotingly at the beautiful little Labrador in front of it.
“Woof!” Bai Xiaobai barked.
“Awoo!” KO responded as a greeting.
They were happily interacting with their newly met girlfriend…
“KO!” Su Wanwan looked down, “Be good!”
Stop haphazardly hooking up with little female dogs!
KO: “…”
Shivering!
“I’m sorry, miss, but the chewing stick you wanted is sold out,” said the server who quickly came over.
Su Wanwan asked, “When will it be restocked?”
The server replied, “I’m sorry, the stock we ordered will take a few days; how about… you use this one instead? It also looks good, and it’s practical, plus the price is cheaper. It could serve as a temporary replacement.”
Upon seeing the pink stick, KO immediately barked “Awoo.”
Pretty!
The dog wants it!
Who knew Su Wanwan would let out a chuckle, “But my KO likes that particular brand, and something so important, how can you simply substitute it? What my KO wants has to be the original genuine product! You get what you pay for! Subpar goods are ultimately subpar, they just don’t compare! They are no match!”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
Weiwei was even more: “…”
Why did it feel like this pretty little miss was speaking with a hidden barb? It felt like indirect criticism…
KO was restlessly scratching the tiles with its paws.
Want want want!
The dog wants it!
Su Wanwan stretched out her hand to pat its head, her smile not reaching her eyes as she threatened, “Alright, quiet down, or else… I’ll take you for neutering next door tomorrow!”
KO: “…”
Xiao Yebai expressionless: “…”
**
After coming out, Weiwei immediately said, “Mr. Xiao, I’m heading back now. If you have any problems, you can call me again,”
“Thank you,” Xiao Yebai said in an even tone.
“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.” Weiwei smiled, then turned and left.
Xiao Yebai held the bag in one hand and the depth in the other.
As he turned around, he saw a person and a dog standing there.
“Hehe,” Su Wanwan continued her sarcastic banter, “It’s really rare. After Weiyi left, you actually became so nice to her dog. Why didn’t you cherish it before?”
She didn’t misunderstand Xiao Yebai’s shame at all since the woman just now obviously had love written all over her face, and her intentions towards him were too clear.
Jerk!
Just because you’re handsome, you think you can flirt around?
Weiyi is really too pitiable!
She was actually deceived by such a jerk for so many years!
Especially when she saw Xiao Yebai’s impervious icy face again, she couldn’t help but speak once more, “I really want to know, do you have nightmares when you sleep at night? Do you dream of Weiyi? Aren’t you worried that she’s not doing well out there? Not worried that she might be bullied?”
Xiao Yebai didn’t say a word, opened the car door, and almost carried the dog… letting Bai Xiaobai howl as he sat in the passenger seat.
Then he closed the car door and, with long strides, circled around to the driver’s seat.
He drove off quickly.
Su Wanwan stood there, so irritated she was itching with anger.
“Jerk!”
“Stupid jerk!”
“I wish you have nightmares every day!”
KO also barked a couple of times: “Woof woof (nightmares)!”
Once she got into the car, Su Wanwan took out her phone and habitually opened WeChat.
Mo Weiyi still hadn’t replied to any messages.
Su Wanwan pursed her lips, sending several messages with resentment.
[I just saw Xiao Yebai!]
[He actually brought your dog and another woman to shop together!]
[I gave him a good scolding!]
After sending several messages in a row, Su Wanwan felt relieved and drove off.
Who knew, a sudden WeChat voice call rang out, and Su Wanwan’s eyes lit up as she quickly picked up the phone.
She thought it was Mo Weiyi calling, but…
She answered the call, “What is it?”
Huo Jingshen’s deep voice came through, “Where did my treasure go?”
“I took KO out to shop, nothing much today.”
“Be careful,” Huo Jingshen said.
Su Wanwan was speechless, “I’ve been driving for several months now, how come you’re still worried?”
After all, she had raced officially in Los Angeles.
And she had been driving under his watchful eye for so long, she didn’t expect him to still be so fussy, always insisting on not letting her drive if he could help it, without knowing what he’s really worried about.
Huo Jingshen said, “You can drive, but don’t run around, and don’t stay out for too long.”
“I’m not a child anymore, why? Do you also need to control me when I go out to clear my mind?”
The phone was quiet for a few seconds, then Huo Jingshen said, “Hmm, husband is worried about you.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Suddenly it felt a bit cringey, cough cough cough.
Unconsciously, her face heated up, and her voice softened without her knowing, “Alright, alright, I got it. I’ll go back now, okay?”
“Good girl.”
“So cheesy!”
Su Wanwan hung up the phone, but she couldn’t suppress the smile tugging at her lips.

Imperial Court villa.
Today, when Fu Qi got off work, she was waiting for a taxi on the roadside when suddenly someone rode by on a motorcycle, snatched her bag, and even slashed her arm with a dagger.
Having lived in Nancheng for almost half a year, it was the first time she had encountered something like this.
She immediately broke into tears.
Fortunately, the orchestra wasn’t far away, and a colleague who passed by saw her and quickly drove her to the nearby hospital.
In the living room.
“I’m fine.” She said she was fine, but tears still streamed down her face.
Huo Jinghua scrambled to find tissues.
Turning around, two small hands held out a box of tissues, “Mommy, here you go.”
