Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 113

Shen Luo turned to Xiao Chuan and asked, "Can he come?"

He wasn't the one footing the bill, so it wasn't his call to make.

Xiao Chuan, feeling a little more pleased now, wasn't that petty. He gave a small nod and said, "Sure, let's all go together."

So the five of them went out to eat. The assistant immediately picked up on the strange tension in the air and silently trailed behind them. The driver, watching the assistant's body language, also stayed quiet. Shen Luo introduced Xiao Chuan and Bo Yuntian to each other, but it was obvious the two weren't exactly hitting it off. The whole vibe felt kind of awkward. Who would've thought two handsome guys together would end up clashing?

During the meal, Bo Yuntian kept chatting with Shen Luo about pets. He even said that next time he went on a trip, he'd leave Shunfeng with Shen Luo's pet hospital for boarding. Shen Luo, of course, was more than happy to agree.

Throughout the whole thing, Xiao Chuan didn't say a single word. Poor Shen Luo didn't even notice—until Bo Yuntian left with Shunfeng, and he finally realized Xiao Chuan had been unusually silent.

Shen Luo thought for a moment before cautiously asking, "You... not happy? Did it not go well with Mr. Jin?"

Xiao Chuan glanced at Shen Luo but didn't say anything, his face written all over with a big fat "unhappy."

Shen Luo immediately got a little frustrated. Xiao Chuan had a pretty good temper—how come he was suddenly in a mood now?

Before Shen Luo could figure it out, he got a call from Li Jinzhu, saying she and Liu Yunfeng had brought King Kong and Baobao over.

Shen Luo's attention shifted right away. He ran out from under the rain awning, looking around, "Where? Where are you? I don't see you guys!"

Behind him, Xiao Chuan's face instantly darkened.

Shen Luo didn't notice the drop in air pressure behind him at all—he was still looking for Li Jinzhu and the others!

Following Shen Luo's directions, Li Jinzhu and Liu Yunfeng came over quickly, sure enough with two pit bulls in tow—one gray and one white. The white one was shorter and looked a bit chubbier.

When Li Jinzhu saw Shen Luo, she let out a relieved sigh and smiled, "We've heard about this exhibition for a while but never had the time to come. Today we finally got a little window, so we brought the dogs to check it out."

Shen Luo patted King Kong, then gave Baobao a few strokes too. Baobao was just over a month into her pregnancy. Since dog pregnancies last around two months, she had only about twenty days left before giving birth.

Baobao looked pretty healthy—good energy, not too fat—which meant she was being well cared for.

Shen Luo took out a bag of little biscuits, tore it open, and offered them to Baobao and King Kong. King Kong nudged Shen Luo's hand with his wet nose, pushing the treats toward Baobao and refusing to eat any himself.

Shen Luo knew just how tempting those biscuits were to cats and dogs—King Kong really was a good guy and a great husband.

Shen Luo said, "You eat some too. It's not good if she eats too much."

Pregnancy in dogs was similar to humans—nutrition was important, but overeating could lead to the pups growing too big, which might cause problems during delivery. Exercise was important too.

After hearing that, King Kong finally ate two biscuits in one bite.

Li Jinzhu watched from the side and was delighted. She patted King Kong's head and said, "Good boy!"

As soon as they stepped under the awning and saw Xiao Chuan sitting there, Li Jinzhu froze.

Back when she first met Xiao Chuan, she already thought he looked decent. After spending time with him, she'd felt he was a nice guy too. The only downside was, he didn't seem like someone with much of a future. So after joking about it a bit, she hadn't taken it seriously. And after he left the last time, she hadn't seen him again. All she knew, vaguely, was that he had quit—nothing more. She hadn't expected that when they met again today, it'd be like he'd turned into a whole different person.

"You... you're Xiao Chuan?"

Xiao Chuan gave her a glance, nodded slightly with a chilly vibe. He vaguely remembered her.

Li Jinzhu clicked her tongue in surprise. "Man, clothes really do make the man. Seriously—just switching up your style, and boom, your whole vibe changes. You should definitely dress up more often!"

Xiao Chuan: ...

Shen Luo knew a bit of the backstory—Aunt Chen had even joked about it once, saying thank goodness Li Jinzhu hadn't regretted missing out on Xiao Chuan. Otherwise, imagine how messy that would've been!

Everyone was already familiar with each other, so after a few casual words, they were chatting easily. Li Jinzhu talked a bit with Zheng Jiamei and found out the reason behind Xiao Chuan's transformation. She was quietly surprised, but it stopped at just that—surprise. She hadn't expected something straight out of a drama to happen to someone she knew in real life. As for any other emotions? She didn't feel any.

Shen Luo, standing off to the side, watched for a while and noticed something a little off between Liu Yunfeng and Li Jinzhu. The way they interacted was unusually close, and Liu Yunfeng seemed to be especially attentive toward her. Meanwhile, Li Jinzhu looked completely natural about it. A lightbulb went off in Shen Luo's head—maybe, after all those blind dates, Li Jinzhu had finally met the right guy?

If that really was the case, Shen Luo was genuinely happy for them. Fate was rare, and being able to be with someone you liked—that was the best kind of luck.

Thinking that, Shen Luo couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chuan—only to find that Xiao Chuan was already looking at him. Startled, Shen Luo quickly turned his gaze away, flustered. Xiao Chuan instantly broke into a smile.

The secretary standing nearby found the manager a bit weird—he looked terrifying just a moment ago, and now he was smiling like he'd been possessed.

When Li Jinzhu heard that Shen Luo's dogs were going to compete in the afternoon, she immediately said she wanted to watch the match.

The afternoon competition was a team event.

As the exhibition drew to a close, the competitions were getting more and more fun to watch. Some of the earlier matches might've gone over a non-professional's head, but today's team event was way easier to follow, and tomorrow's dog pageant would be even more entertaining.

Dogs needed teamwork too—like when hunting prey or pulling sleds. This team competition was all about testing how well the dogs could work together. Owners were only allowed to guide them with commands and couldn't physically intervene.
