“Nope, it isn’t just an extraordinary dog. It’s also a lecherous dog.”
Ye Erruo could not bother to give a response.
“Oh, whatever. Anyway, since you know the dog and it listens to you, please help me a little to take care of it. We can split the remuneration among us. Fifty-fifty, alright?” Her friend went on speaking with a wide beam on her face.
“Keep the money for yourself. You’re the one paying for its daily necessities, not me.” She gave the little fellow a rub on its furry head and it seemed to enjoy it a lot.
“Stay a little longer tonight then. At least, wait until the dog has eaten its meal.”
Red Bean’s ears twitched abruptly as it fixed its beady, little eyes on her.
“What’s wrong?”
Awoooo… It rubbed its paws against her heart area. How can you bear to abandon this cutie pie again?
The woman laughed helplessly at the dog. “I’m not leaving.”
Only then did Red Bean heave a sigh of relief and continue to lie in her arms and enjoy her touch.
“This mutt is truly godd*mn shrewd.” Yao Tiao could hardly believe her eyes when she saw how the dog was behaving in her friend’s presence.
Moments later, Ye Erruo took her phone out and made a call. “Mo Jiangye, I won’t be going home tonight, so you don’t have to wait for me. Just eat dinner first.”
The man was displeased to hear that. “Why aren’t you coming home?”
The woman gazed down at the canine in her arms. “The bar is holding an event tonight.”
“Are you going to sing?”
“Yes.”
“Just when are you going to close that freaking bar?”
“Young Master, Ms. Qing Ning is looking for you.”
Bo Yu’s voice was heard from the other end of the line suddenly. What she heard worried her a lot.
“I’m not meeting her. Tell her to take a hike!”
Ye Erruo sucked her lips. “I’ll head back later in the evening.”
“Okay!”
When she ended the call, she received a look from her friend. “What is it? Chief Mo doesn’t allow you to spend the night outside?”
“That’s not it, but I’ll have to go back later.”
“That’s fine. As long as this little thing eats its meal, you can go anywhere you want and no one will stop you.”
…
Meanwhile, Gu Feirou, who almost lost her mind when she was unable to locate her fiancé, gave her bodyguard a fierce lashing every day.
“Princess, Young Master Yu is here to see you.”
“I told you to find Brother Jingxuan, didn’t I? Do you still not have news of him?”
“I can guarantee that Mo Jiangye took him away but I’m unable to trace Lin Jingxuan’s whereabouts.” This was all because their influence did not reach far enough in this place, so there were limits to what they could do here. If they had been at Blue Tower instead, finding a person would have been no difficult feat.
“Useless bums!” she said angrily through clenched teeth.
“Young Master Yu has plenty of friends here, so he might be able to help you with this matter.”
“Get out. Get out! Just get out of here!”
The door to the ward suddenly creaked open.
“Young Master Yu!” Jing Xinze greeted the newcomer respectfully.
The woman turned in the stranger’s direction and was instantly stunned.
Looking expressionless, Yu Lingfeng asked sarcastically, “So this is the missing little sister that my mother has been seeking for the past twenty or so years?”
“Yes.”
A lazy drawl escaped him. “It must be no easy feat to find her after being apart for two decades.”
“…”
“Have you tested her DNA? Should you have found the wrong—”
“It’s been tested, Young Master Yu. She’s indeed the princess.”
Gu Feirou’s eyes suddenly bulged in surprise. Her DNA has been tested? When did Jing Xinze secretly carry out the DNA test?
The point is, how come there is no issue with the DNA test? Am I truly the princess after all? Is it such a coincidence?
The man fixed his cold gaze on his sister. “I’m your elder brother.”
Her mind was a mess now, so she paid no attention to his words.
“Princess?” Jing Xinze called out to her.
“I will call you ‘Big Brother’ only if you help me find someone,” she solemnly implored.
