Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 124

Wang Bo handled the physical observations, while Shen Luo was in charge of communicating with the pregnant mother, checking if the baby had any concerns or emotions. So far, everything had been going smoothly—the baby was growing well.

While settling the bill, Shen Luo casually asked, "Where's Xiang Weiran? Haven't seen her around lately."

Li Jinzhu and Liu Yunfeng exchanged a look. Liu Yunfeng cleared his throat and said, "Cousin's been pretty busy lately, so it's just us coming."

Li Jinzhu blushed a little.

Truth was, Xiang Weiran had been intentionally giving them alone time. She'd asked her cousin to bring the baby in so he and Li Jinzhu could spend more time together.

Shen Luo gave the two a look and said, "Got it. Just keep doing what you've been doing. Take her out for walks every day, nothing too intense, but don't let her just sit around either—it's pretty much like a human pregnancy."

He couldn't help but feel a little bitter. These two had such a perfect wingwoman, while he had no one like that on his side.

A couple days later, the husky couple Shen Luo had helped matchmake also came in—turns out the female was pregnant now.

Just like he'd expected, once he helped play matchmaker, all kinds of follow-up visits started rolling in. Shen Luo welcomed it happily and patiently explained how to care for a pregnant dog.

In the middle of all this chaos, Shen Luo still had to think about his article. Thankfully, he had Xiao Chuan. That awkward stretch of time at night, lying in bed before falling asleep, was just right for discussing the piece. But Shen Luo really didn't have any literary talent—it was almost like Xiao Chuan had to teach him how to write word by word.

After three days, Shen Luo finally squeezed out a two-thousand-word draft.

Qiao Zhenmian came by as planned to look it over. Shen Luo handed it over, mentally preparing himself to be critiqued.

Qiao Zhenmian brought an iPad with him, and the moment he started reading, his whole vibe shifted—instantly giving off this cold, aloof energy.

Shen Luo sat beside him like a school kid, obediently listening to Qiao Zhenmian's corrections and advice. Xiao Chuan was sitting in the single-seater armchair, watching the scene unfold with a weird feeling in his chest. Just then, Shunfeng came trotting in and—of all things—crashed headfirst into Xiao Chuan's leg.

That instantly reminded Xiao Chuan of Shunfeng's former owner, the pilot. His face turned even darker.

Shunfeng caught a glimpse of Xiao Chuan's expression, let out a low whimper, and bolted with its tail tucked between its legs. Too scary!

Xiao Chuan ignored Shunfeng, but in his heart, he was starting to feel uneasy. Shen Luo had a pilot on one side, and now a deputy editor of a magazine on the other. All of them were good-looking, had high-paying jobs, and could actually keep up a conversation with Shen Luo. Something he'd once thought was a sure thing... now didn't feel so certain anymore.

Qiao Zhenmian patiently walked Shen Luo through the whole article. Shen Luo felt like he'd learned more than he had in years of Chinese class.

"Go ahead and revise this draft. Best if you can send it to me tomorrow. That way we'll have more time for edits and layout."

Now that he had a clear direction, Shen Luo felt more confident. "No problem, I'll get it to you as soon as I can."

Qiao Zhenmian nodded. "I've got something going on tomorrow, so I won't be coming by. A reporter from the magazine will come to interview you. Just answer their questions honestly."

Shen Luo blinked. "Do I need to prepare a script or anything?"

Qiao Zhenmian said, "It's not like you're going on TV. Even if you say something wrong, it's fine."

Shen Luo realized he was definitely overthinking it.

The two of them were still chatting when the door chime jingled—it was Feng Yuanyuan, and she'd brought Feng Baobao with her.

A VIP guest. Shen Luo said a quick word to Qiao Zhenmian, then got up to greet her. "What happened? You don't look so great."

Feng Yuanyuan sighed. "Baobao was playing with water at home, turned on the faucet and didn't shut it off. The sink was clogged too, so the whole place got flooded. It's a mess. I had to drop her off here."

Shen Luo didn't expect Feng Baobao to be this mischievous.

He looked down and saw Feng Baobao curled up in her carrier with a pitiful look on her face.

Feng Yuanyuan opened the carrier door, ready to coax her out—only for Feng Baobao to burst out like a rocket and leap straight onto Qiao Zhenmian. All he saw was a blur of cat flying at him, and then—plop—his glasses went flying.

Feng Baobao clung to his leg and let out a loud mrrrow, like: Get lost!

No one knew what Feng Yuanyuan had done to make Baobao this mad.

Feng Yuanyuan was stunned too. Seeing her cat lunge straight at a man like that was honestly terrifying. She quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry! My cat's a little naughty, please don't mind her."

If the guy was a cat person, it might not be a big deal. But if he hated cats—or worse, was allergic—this could've turned into a huge mess.

Luckily, Feng Yuanyuan had pretty good luck. Qiao Zhenmian was a total cat person, and on top of that, he had a rare kind of "cat magnet" energy. Cats just naturally liked him. He was the kind of guy who could be walking down the street and have random strays come up to him to snuggle and say hi.

Once he understood what was going on, Qiao Zhenmian put his glasses back on and said, "It's fine. This cat just got scared. No need to panic—let her sit there for a bit."

Feng Yuanyuan was stunned. She hadn't expected this well-dressed, handsome man—who even looked like he might be the super-clean type—to not mind having a strange cat sprawled all over his lap at all.

Seeing that everything was okay, Shen Luo finally relaxed and said, "Yuanyuan, take a seat. Baobao's in a mood right now—better to just let her be."

Feng Yuanyuan nodded politely, sat on the couch, and avoided looking directly at Feng Baobao, because looking at Baobao felt a little too much like looking at Qiao Zhenmian now.

Qiao Zhenmian reached out a fair hand and gently stroked Feng Baobao. To everyone's surprise, she squinted her eyes and started purring like crazy, looking super pleased.

Shen Luo, watching from the side, was speechless. 'Wait, is Baobao one of those face-obsessed cats too?'

Shen Luo then asked Feng Yuanyuan about the temporary care situation. Since she only needed time to clean up her flooded place, she said she'd probably be able to pick Baobao up by tomorrow.
