So, she nodded. “I’ll take it for a walk.”

In the kennel, Dabai was sprawled on the ground listlessly, not moving at all, and his big eyes were dull. Food was placed on the ground, but he hadn’t eaten any of it.

It seemed to smell the presence of Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi; only then did it lift its eyelids slightly.

“Dabai, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick? Weren’t you fine during the day?” Xu Chaomu ran up and stroked its fur.

“It might be a lack of exercise, we need to take it out for a walk,” Shen Chi said.

“With so many servants in the Shen Family, hasn’t anyone taken it out for a walk?” Xu Chaomu said unhappily.

Were they all so unkind to Dabai?

“Dabai is particular about people. Aside from me, it doesn’t really like anyone else. And I’ve just been too busy recently.”

“Heh, excuses.” Xu Chaomu petted Dabai, her face full of disdain, “You could take Dabai out for several rounds if you spent just a few less ‘exercises’ with your fourth sister-in-law at night.”

Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.

She was a true little hooligan.

“You don’t care about it at all, it’s a shame it likes you so much. If the school allowed dogs, I would have taken it away,” Xu Chaomu said as she stroked Dabai, displeased.

“Then you’d have to ask Dabai if it’s willing to go with you.”

After speaking, Shen Chi also squatted down, crouching shoulder to shoulder with Xu Chaomu. Dabai lay in front of them, languid and spiritless.

Xu Chaomu held up the food bowl and said to Dabai, “Dabai, do you like me? If you like me, then bark.”

Silence.

Xu Chaomu felt very embarrassed.

Shen Chi reached out his hand and stroked Dabai’s fur. “Dabai, this is Chaomu. Haven’t seen her for so many days, do you not recognize her anymore?”

Only then did Dabai stick out its tongue and licked the back of Shen Chi’s hand.

Xu Chaomu became even more angry.

Why was it so indifferent when seeing her but so eager to please Shen Chi the moment he arrived?

“Dabai, later Chaomu will take you for a walk, would you like that?” Shen Chi asked.

Dabai’s eyelids drooped, ignoring the question.

“How about if I go for a walk with Chaomu?” Shen Chi coaxed patiently.

Dabai immediately stuck out its tongue and made a “zizzy” happy sound.

“Alright, come on!” Shen Chi unlatched the chain, ready to take it out for a walk together.

Under the lights, the man’s contour lines were distinct, his appearance both handsome and profound. When his thin lips curved, the corners tilted slightly upward, especially captivating to look at.

He led Dabai out, his movements very gentle.

Stripped of his title as CEO of Shen Group and his identity as the fourth young master of the Shen’s family, he was just an ordinary man.

An ordinary man who, when he had free time, would accompany his wife for a stroll and walk the pet dog.

Xu Chaomu irritably slapped Dabai’s head. “Bad Dabai, if you don’t want me to walk with you, then I won’t accompany you. I’m leaving, for real.”

After saying that, Xu Chaomu pretended to leave, and Dabai, quite simple-minded, immediately started barking anxiously.

Shen Chi smiled. “It can’t bear to part with you.”

Only then did Xu Chaomu smile, touching Dabai’s head. “Good Dabai, bark again if you like me.”

Indeed, Dabai obediently barked.

This dog had lived with Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu day and night for half a year, and had long since acquired human nature. Of course, Shen Chi thought, it was also because he had trained it well.

“That’s more like it. Come, follow me. Let’s go for a walk,” Xu Chaomu walked side by side with Dabai.

Initially, the two were each on one side of Dabai, but Shen Chi felt awkward and moved next to Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu held the leash, in step with Dabai.

“Thud thud thud thud, step by step we go for a walk,” Xu Chaomu hopped and skipped, extremely happy.

In the moonlight, she looked up at Shen Chi, and he was just looking down at her.

This man with a sharply defined face was particularly charming, no wonder some people say that a man who likes animals is most attractive.

“Shen Chi, right, what’s your favorite pet to keep?” Xu Chaomu broke the stillness of the night.

She always talked a lot, especially when she was in a slightly good mood.

“Keep you,” he said calmly.

“I’m talking about animals!”

“Keeping anything else would not be as good as keeping you,” he emphasized again.

Xu Chaomu was exasperated.

“Woof woof.” Dabai, however, barked cheerfully twice, no longer listless.

The moonlight was mellow, and everything around them was so tranquil and peaceful. With mountains, water, and gardens around, the wide road had few pedestrians.

No one disturbed them, and the streetlights stretched their shadows very long.

Dabai walked on the far left, followed by Xu Chaomu, and on the far right was Shen Chi.

Shen Chi wore a long black trench coat, his hands stuffed in his pockets, walking leisurely, neither hurried nor slow.

Xu Chaomu, holding Dabai’s leash, sometimes pulled it back when it got too exuberant.

“Dabai, are you hungry?” Xu Chaomu tilted her head and asked.

Dabai jumped even more merrily, indicating that it wasn’t hungry.

“Dabai, tell me, am I good to you?” Xu Chaomu asked again.

Dabai sat down, its tail wagging, and licked the back of Xu Chaomu’s hand, its big eyes sparkling vivaciously. It even ingratiatingly wagged its tail for Xu Chaomu, particularly well-behaved.

Xu Chaomu was quite taken aback; she knew that Dabai, the naughty dog, rarely sought to please her.

It must have been because Shen Chi was by her side.

“Dabai,” Shen Chi also stopped, “do you want Chaomu to come back to the Shen Family’s house?”

Immediately, Dabai’s tail wagged even more vigorously, barking several times.

Shen Chi then innocently turned to look at Xu Chaomu, “Dabai wants you to come home.”

“I won’t come back. Shen Chi, it was you who sent me to board at school, you who ended the foster relationship, and, don’t you forget, you’re about to get married,” Xu Chaomu said stubbornly, thinking Shen Chi was even more stubborn than her.

“You won’t even give Dabai face,” Shen Chi sighed, “Then I personally apologize to you, will you come back then?”

Xu Chaomu’s heart stirred, raising her eyes to look at him.

Shen Chi actually willing to apologize? Did he feel guilty?

“Shen Chi, you don’t need to apologize to me. Sending me to board at school is not such a bad thing. Since I no longer have any relationship with the Shen Family, leaving the Shen’s house was inevitable.”

“I told you, you’re not allowed to leave!” Shen Chi grew slightly angry.

After Xu Chaomu had left the hospital without a word the last time, he had become particularly sensitive to the word “leave.”

He wouldn’t allow her to leave.

Xu Chaomu, realizing she might have misspoken, chuckled awkwardly, “Where could I run to? All of C City is within your grasp. It’s just that I’m not going to return to the Shen Family.”

“Chaomu, wait for me to get back from South Africa. It won’t be long.”

Shen Chi thought that on this trip to South Africa, he would give it his all.

He wouldn’t neglect her; he would personally make her a promise and tell her that he loved her. Chaomu, I love you. You have merged into my life, and from now on, you are irreplaceable.

Xu Chaomu moved her lips, wanting to say something, but eventually swallowed her words.
