"Brother Jiangye…" Beep, beep, beep, beep… The line was once again hung up.

As the man lifted his wife's face, he explained, "She's the daughter of Old Master Lin's good friend, but there's nothing between us. Talking to an unimportant person is just a waste of time. Understand?"

"Well, she claims to be your girlfriend." Ye Erruo smiled at him vaguely.

"All I have is a wife—I have no girlfriends whatsoever. Now, go change clothes and we'll go out for a stroll to digest our food." He then proceeded to undo the knot at her waist.

"You allowed her to call you Brother Jiangye, though."

That made him smirk as he rubbed his fingers against her tender cheeks. "Any idea how adorable you are now?"

"Didn't you do that?"

"My mistake."

The woman snorted in response. I couldn't bother wasting my time to talk to someone trivial either. I was just helping you pick up the call, alright? Yeah, that's what I was doing.

"Let's go change."

While she was changing clothes, Mo Jiangye sternly scanned the call log on his phone before blacklisting a certain number. How did she get hold of this number that's only known by family and friends?

"Aren't you changing?"

He then tossed the phone to the bed and went ahead to change clothes as well.

Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt… The phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated. It was Ye Erruo's phone that was ringing.

"Yao Tiao?"

"h.e.l.lo? Xiao Ruo, where are you?"

"H City."

"Why the h.e.l.l did you go so far away?"

"What's the matter?"

"I'm doomed. I'm so doomed. It's dying! Quick, give me that man's phone number."

"Huh?"

"His dog hasn't eaten or drunk in several days. It has lost so much weight that it's all skin and bones now. This is terrible. This is truly terrible! The little mutt is going to die at this rate! Quick, give me his number so I can get him to fetch his dog."

A smile bloomed across Ye Erruo's face. "Dogs have a temper too. Who knows, it might be upset with you for mistreating it. I'm sure it'll start eating after a little coaxing. Give me a second to find the owner's number and I'll send it to you."

Right beside her, Mo Jiangye was holding her hand as he led her out of the house.

She continued talking to her friend on the phone while going on a stroll with him.

"Ugh. What else do I have to do to coax that little thing? I've already called it 'Boss' and even bought doggy clothes and toys for it, yet it still refuses to eat a single thing."

"Clothes? Why did you buy clothes?"

"Well, it wants to wear clothes."

"…"

"The dog's always cuddling the jacket that you left here at the bar. It'll just remain still on it all day. I've even taken it to the vet, but according to the vet, there's nothing wrong with the dog. It just refuses to eat anything.

"Sigh… By the way, where did you buy that jacket? Aby seems to like it a lot. I can't even touch that jacket with the dog guarding it so preciously. I'm thinking of buying the dog some clothes from the same brand. It might start eating if it's in a good mood."

"It was a gift from my husband. I suppose the jacket is from the brand MTR. Why don't you go check out its counter?"

"That mutt is a rich man's pet, alright. It only recognizes expensive brands." Yao Tiao could feel a headache coming on.

"How do you know that the dog wants to wear clothes, though? It's still not eating after the visit to the vet? Are you sure you went to a professional pet clinic? Is it sick?"

"Just give me the pet owner's number. I'll contact him myself."

"I'll send it to you in a bit, though I'm not sure if I still have his number. I'll have to search for it first."

"Shoot. Surely, you didn't— oh, gos.h.!.+ You're finally willing to get up and move around, Boss! Are you feeling hungry? Come and eat something."
