Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 103

Zheng Jiamei's family could afford a Bentley, but one like that? No way would they actually take it out on the road. That particular car was super low-profile too—if you weren't a car geek, you'd never guess how much it was worth. But Zheng Jiamei's dad was a serious car enthusiast, and she'd picked up on a thing or two from growing up around him.

Right now, Shen Luo was sitting in the most expensive car he'd ever been in, but he didn't have the heart to care. Ethan's paw injury wasn't that serious, but Shen Luo still felt awful about it. What hit him the hardest was the fact that Ethan, even while injured, had finished the entire run—and won first place.

Ethan, on the other hand, looked like he was totally fine. His mouth was slightly open as he glanced around curiously, like he was fascinated by the car.

When they got to the hospital entrance, Xiao Chuan got out of the car with Ethan in his arms and said, "You two go back to the hotel."

The secretary asked, "Manager, you're not coming back to the hotel?"

Xiao Chuan walked into the hospital without even turning his head. "If anything comes up, I'll call you."

The secretary had no choice but to tell the driver to take the two of them back to the hotel.

Inside the hospital, Wang Bo carefully checked Ethan's wound. The competition vet had done a clean job, and Shen Luo had been holding Ethan the whole time afterward, so there wasn't any dust or dirt. The injury looked fine.

"Boss, if you're still that worried, want me to slap a bandage on him?" Wang Bo even had the mood to joke.

Shen Luo shot him a glare. "Easy for you to say. A bandage would just mess with the healing. It still hurts when he walks, so he might as well just lie down."

Then Shen Luo went to the kitchen and cooked up a big pot of delicious food. Except for one bowl he set aside for Zhentian, the rest was for Ethan. He also left some in the kitchen for Qiuqiu and Ah Chou, who'd worked hard at the expo today.

After feeding the animals and checking in on the hospital's kittens and puppies—and confirming they were all doing okay—Shen Luo finally felt a little bit more at ease.

Around six in the evening, Wang Wei and Zheng Jiamei returned after packing up. They'd sold all the little biscuits, so they came back pretty relaxed.

When Zheng Jiamei saw Xiao Chuan, her expression turned a little strange. Her feelings were all over the place. Sure, Shen Luo had told them before that Xiao Chuan came from a super rich family, but this level of rich? That was another story.

You could tell a lot from small details. Xiao Chuan had a secretary and a driver, and he showed up in that kind of luxury car. Even your average rich family wouldn't flaunt it like that. Zheng Jiamei had also grown up pampered and had some exposure thanks to her family, so she could easily sense that Xiao Chuan definitely wasn't just "somewhat well-off."

Shen Luo didn't think anything of it. After checking each item the pets had brought back from outside and finding nothing wrong, he brought out the good food and served it to Qiuqiu and Ah Chou.

"Boss, the owl's recovering pretty well. Should we start getting ready to release it?"

The owl had been staying at the hospital for a few months now. Its wing had been broken, which was a big deal, and Shen Luo had been worried it might never fly again. He'd been giving it the best care possible. Now its bones had healed, and it had even gained weight—so much so that Shen Luo was starting to worry it might not fly again because it was too fat.

It was a fully grown owl, so there was no worry about it lacking survival skills. It probably preferred the wild anyway. According to Wang Wei, sometimes when he got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, he'd see the owl staring at the caged rodents with those big round eyes—and it was kind of terrifying. What if it accidentally ate one of the hamsters or something?

Shen Luo said, "I'm too busy these few days. When you're at the hospital, let it walk around a bit, try flying inside. In a few days, I'll take it to the park and see if it can fly."

They had to be totally sure it was ready before releasing it for real.

Wang Bo agreed and started mentally planning daily rehab sessions for the owl.

As the sky darkened, Zheng Jiamei and Wang Bo clocked out and left. Shen Luo asked Xiao Chuan, "So, where are you planning to eat?"

Xiao Chuan looked at him like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I'm eating with you guys."

That reminded Shen Luo of the meal they had at lunch, and he started to worry a little—maybe Xiao Chuan didn't want to go through Wang Wei's cooking again?

While Wang Wei was cooking in the kitchen, Shen Luo was chatting with Xiaochuan and teased him, "You're something else, really—skipping out on all the fancy gourmet food just to eat Wang Wei's cooking."

Most people got better at cooking the longer they did it, but Wang Wei? He hadn't improved at all over the past few years. His cooking tasted exactly the same every single time—like it was frozen in time. Shen Luo felt like Wang Wei's cooking skills were as hopeless as Zheng Jiamei's math skills. A lost cause.

Xiao Chuan said, "Doesn't matter what I'm eating. What matters is being with you guys."

'Being with you guys was the most relaxing thing of all.'

Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat. That warm, tingly feeling spread out from his chest, and he had to give a little shiver and shake his head before continuing, "So are you going back to the hotel to sleep tonight?"

"Nope. I'm going with you."

"You're seriously a good boss—your staff stays at a hotel while you crash in some regular house."

Xiao Chuan replied, "The hotel stay doesn't cost anything. It's ours anyway."

What he meant was, staying at the hotel didn't require reimbursement or anything—it didn't really count.

That caught Shen Luo off guard. He realized the hotel where Xiao Chuan's secretary and driver were staying was the same one he'd taken Xiao Chuan to last time to meet his parents. Wait... that hotel was part of Xiao Chuan's family business?

That hotel was a well-known luxury chain—top-tier facilities, great service, everything was great... except the price. But of course, that kind of place was meant for the wealthy. Shen Luo hadn't expected it to actually belong to Xiao Chuan's family.

For the first time, Shen Luo got a clear, real sense of just how financially powerful Xiao Chuan's family really was.

"So why don't you stay at the hotel? Why squeeze into my crappy little place?" His tone came off a little sour.
