Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 214: The Little Rich Lady’s Wish Comes True

“Sir, choose this one. Dogs of this breed are generally quite smart.”

“And this one here, it’s a small breed dog that won’t grow very large, perfect for keeping in an office.”

“This one is more lively, but it tends to be destructive at home. If you don’t have much time to walk it, I wouldn’t recommend this one for you.”

“This one is also an option, though it’s a bit silly.”

“…”

It was a little past two in the afternoon. The early spring sun was warmly inviting, and the azure sky was cloudless.

Jiang Qin pushed a shopping cart out of the pet store, filled with a chaotic mix of dog supplies like a kennel, dog food, and a cage, and a Labrador puppy not even three months old.

The little white dog, with droopy ears and a somewhat dim-witted look, lay curiously in the cart, a bit timid as it observed its surroundings.

Jiang Qin opened the trunk of his car, stuffed in all the dog supplies, then picked up the little white dog and got into the car.

“From today onwards, your name is Po Tian Fu Gui. A four-character name, isn’t it cool?” (Means heaven-piercing wealth; I’m taking liberties to name him Big Richie)

“…”

Big Richie glanced at Jiang Qin, awkwardly pawing the seat cushion before finally lying down obediently under his gaze.

Jiang Qin felt the dog must be very content at this moment.

With such a name, even when making friends outside, it would be quite prestigious.

Other dogs were named Dou Dou, Pudding, Prince, Mao Qiu, and the like. When asked, ‘What’s your name?’ ‘Me? I’m Big Richie.’ It just oozed arrogance.

Jiang Qin patted Big Richie’s head a couple of times, then put on his sunglasses and drove back to Linchuan University, heading straight to the front square.

Since Hu Xin went to the Normal University for training, Gao Wenhui had become the mainstay of the Xi Tian Linchuan University branch, so Feng Nanshu often accompanied her there.

Jiang Qin parked his car across from the square and saw a cool and aloof little rich lady sitting at the entrance of Xi Tian. Her delicate features were flawless, her clear gaze devoid of emotion, the epitome of a glamorous ice queen.

The front square was bustling with people, many buying milk tea.

Men and women alike couldn’t help but show an amazed expression when they saw Feng Nanshu, then sneak a glance, their eyes filled with infatuation, yet they dared not approach due to her chilly aura.

Aside from sticking close to Jiang Qin, the little rich lady rarely appeared in public. But once she did, she immediately caused such a stir.

It was like her days at Chengnan High School. From the moment she stepped through the school gates to the moment she entered the classroom, the entire campus was abuzz with whispers about her.

However, she herself was a bit flustered.

The more flustered she felt, the colder her expression became, making those who looked at her also feel uneasy and quickly avert their gaze.

“She’s so beautiful. Who is she? How come I’ve never seen her before?”

“I don’t know, she’s not from our school, right?”

“How would you know?”

“I’ve never seen her in the school beauty contest. Who else could be number one?”

“She’s so cool. Such a cold expression, you can tell she’s an unapproachable goddess.”

The little rich lady pretended not to hear anything, silently sipping her milk tea, then glanced at the straw, which she had bitten flat, imitating Jiang Qin.

Without the handsome bear who could climb trees around, the delicious milk tea seemed to lose half its sweetness.

Holding the milk tea, she zoned out for a moment. Her slender, curled eyelashes trembled slightly under the brilliant sunlight, and then she spotted the black Audi parked across the street.

“That looks like Jiang Qin’s car…”

Gao Wenhui had been working all morning and was just taking a break. As she stepped out, she saw Feng Nanshu running towards the other side: “Eh? Nanshu, where are you going?”

“Jiang Qin is here.” The little rich lady waved her hand as she ran to the car.

Seeing this, the onlookers couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards the roadside, their eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

This cool and distant rich beauty, why did her eyes suddenly light up at the sight of that car, as if her demeanor changed in an instant, becoming much softer and more lively.

“Jiang Qin, let’s go for a walk.”

Jiang Qin lowered the car window slightly. “Little rich lady, do you remember a wish you had?”

“I remember, I wanted to follow you around every day.” Feng Nanshu replied without hesitation.

“Not that one. Another wish you mentioned a few days ago. Think carefully.”

Feng Nanshu thought for a moment then said, “Although I don’t understand much, I want you to feed me.”

Jiang Qin took a deep breath to steady himself. “Not that either. It’s a wish that doesn’t have much to do with me.”

Feng Nanshu was puzzled for a moment, then shook her head. “Jiang Qin, I don’t think I have such a wish.”

“Are you teasing me?”

“No, I’ve always been a bit slow,” Feng Nanshu said with a pouting face.

“Then let me give you another hint. You’ve wanted it for a long time, and you even followed me around the school looking for it when school started. Remember?”

Jiang Qin, fearing that his facade might crack, no longer let her guess and steered her towards the correct answer.

Feng Nanshu put on a cool expression. “Jiang Qin, I want to raise a puppy.”

“That’s the wish.”

Jiang Qin opened the car door and lifted Big Richie out. “Look, this dog will be yours to take care of from now on.”

Seeing the dumbfounded face of the Labrador dangling in the air, as if fate had seized it by the throat, leaving it helpless, the little rich lady’s eyes instantly brightened with joy.

She reached out her pale hand and cautiously petted it a few times. Finding that the dog didn’t resist, she quickly asked Jiang Qin to put it down.

Big Richie, a timid dog, was a bit panicked in the unfamiliar environment, but bravely stood on its front legs, letting the little rich lady stroke it from head to back.

One big and one small, both were timid.

One petting cautiously, the other standing still, not daring to move; the scene was quite adorable.

After being petted for a while, Big Richie seemed to get used to it. It was no longer as timid as before and even rolled on the spot, exposing its belly.

The little rich lady’s eyes shone brightly, as if light was gathering in them.

“Let’s go, we’ll sit in the milk tea shop and pet it.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Qin picked up Big Richie and, along with the little rich lady, returned to the milk tea shop, immediately attracting Gao Wenhui’s attention.

“Why is there a dog? Whose is it?”

“The little rich lady has been nagging about wanting one, so I bought this one for her to take care of.”

After hearing this, Feng Nanshu looked up at him with watery eyes, seemingly touched.

Gao Wenhui squatted down to pet the dog. “It’s new and doesn’t have a name yet, right? I suggest we each contribute a character and call it Nan Qin, with the nickname Qin Qin.”

“I think Wenhui sounds better, with the nickname Hui Hui.”

“That’s a bit much,” Gao Wenhui narrowed her eyes.

Jiang Qin spat out, “I’ve already named it on the way here, calling it Big Richie.”

“What kind of name is that for a dog? Shouldn’t it be something cuter?”

“What it’s called isn’t important; what matters is that it’s auspicious, right, Richie?”

Big Richie whimpered twice, not daring to move, but its eyes were darting around, clearly not a truly dumb dog. It was just very well-behaved due to the unfamiliar environment but actually quite clever.

Gao Wenhui got into petting the dog, causing Big Richie to whimper again and roll over, exposing its belly.

“How’s the milk tea shop doing recently?”

“Okay, but I’m not as skilled as Hu Xin, so I’m a bit slower at making milk tea.”

“That’s fine, as long as the taste is consistent. Customers generally don’t mind waiting an extra minute if there’s no big difference in taste.”

Jiang Qin came back after washing his hands, grabbed a handful of almonds, and fed them to the little rich lady.

“Jiang Qin, I want another one,” Feng Nanshu said while petting the dog.

…

After leaving the Xi Tian Milk Tea Shop, Jiang Qin took the little rich lady to the Entrepreneurship Center to settle Big Richie in.

Since pets weren’t allowed in the dormitory, they had no choice but to keep it at the Entrepreneurship Center.

Moreover, this little creature was quite adorable. Everyone could pet it when they were tired from work, a way to relieve stress and adjust their mood. It was a nice arrangement.

“Wow, boss, whose dog is this?”

“It belongs to your boss lady. Its name is Big Richie, and from today, it’s officially part of the 208 family.”

Su Nai came over to take a look. “I remember Professor Yan saying that pets aren’t allowed in the Entrepreneurship Center, right?”

Jiang Qin pursed his lips. “It’s okay, I’ll talk to Professor Yan in a bit and try to get his approval.”

“Professor Yan isn’t easy to persuade, though.”

“No worries, I will reason with him and appeal to his emotions. I’m sure he will understand a silly rich woman’s desire to have a pet.”

Hearing this, Feng Nanshu looked up. “Jiang Qin, sometimes I’m not that silly.”

Su Nai, upon hearing this, also frowned slightly. “The boss lady is not silly at all; she’s the smartest!”

The little rich lady became a bit flustered. “Su Nai, sometimes I really am quite silly.”

“Oh, okay, boss lady. Can I pet Richie?”

“Yes, you can.”

Hearing the term ‘boss lady,’ Feng Nanshu readily lent the dog, who was still not used to so many people and trembled as it was passed around from hand to hand.

Taking advantage of this, Jiang Qin left 208 to go to the main office on the first floor to report, but he ran into Professor Yan on his way out.

The professor seemed to be on his way out, carrying a black shoulder bag. He stopped in his tracks upon seeing Jiang Qin.

“Jiang Qin, how is the promotion going?”

“The preliminary preparations are all set, and we’ll start the official promotion in two days.”

Professor Yan nodded after hearing this. “Good job, but don’t rush. The important thing is to be steady. By the way, did you need something from me?”

Jiang Qin coughed. “Professor, I just hired a security guard for 208, to keep watch for us. I wanted to report it to you.”

“A student?”

“No, someone from outside.”

Professor Yan pondered for a moment. “If you trust them, that’s fine. I won’t interfere too much, but make sure the paperwork is done.”

Jiang Qin nodded, escorted the professor to the door, thinking to himself that Professor Yan was indeed easy to talk to.

“Jiang Qin, did Professor Yan agree to let Richie stay here?”

“Yes, he agreed.”

“Professor Yan is a good person.”
