Chapter 276: Are You Actually Feeling Embarra.s.sed?
“Ye Erruo!”
The woman stifled a shudder. “W-What?”
“Are you raising that ugly mutt behind my back?”
She adopted a look of ignorance. “Pardon?”
“Go on! Go on feigning innocence all you want.” The man stomped his foot on the ground twice.
“That’s the dog Yao Tiao was paid ten million yuan to temporarily pet-sit. It has nothing to do with me.”
Mo Jianye scoffed. “Then why did you shower before returning home?”
“Don’t you have a dog allergy? Of course I have to shower to get off any dog fur that might have landed on me before coming home.”
“You know all about my dog allergy. That’s why you never go around touching dogs, save for that ugly mutt!” he said eerily. There it was. She had admitted the truth about that dog.
“Showering here before going home is a habit of mine.”
He gripped her shoulders. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
She could not come up with an answer.
While standing beside them, Yao Tiao stealthily nudged the dog cage to a corner. “I’m the one taking care of the dog, Young Master Mo. Red Bean’s owner returned and fetched it away earlier.”
“Why didn’t you say so right from the start?”
“I-I… Well, I only found out about it now.” She was at a loss for words.
Ye Erruo pried her husband’s hands off her. “Don’t tell me you thought that this Red Bean is the exact Red Bean we had previously?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Of course not! Yao Tiao already told you that she’s the one taking care of it. Plus, the fact that the dog’s owner collected it is the best proof that they’re two different dogs.”
Her words made the man waver slightly. “Something’s not right! Why did it like you so much then?”
Yao Tiao’s lips twitched hard. This was the first time she got to see Chief Mo jealous first-hand…
“Red Bean is also fond of me and Ji Sichen. It likes pretty much everyone it sees,” she answered earnestly.
His eyes were squinted as he kept doubting their words. “Did you pick it up then?”
His wife was left speechless again.
Feeling utterly helpless, Ye Erruo eventually lied through her teeth. “Does petting count?”
“You can touch any dog you want except for that ugly mutt.”
“Do you detest Red Bean that much?”
Of course!
“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you then. The dog Yao Tiao was pet-sitting wasn’t the Red Bean you had in mind.”
“Red Bean? It’s just an ugly mutt!”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s just an ugly mutt. An ugly mutt.” She echoed his words as though she was coaxing a child.
“Ha ha ha ha…” Yao Tiao guffawed all of a sudden.
Mo Jiangye’s face darkened in an instant. Keeping his emotions in check, he cast a cold look in her direction. “Funny, huh?”
“No… ”
“Let’s go home.” He pulled his wife’s hand and swiftly strode off toward the exit.
His reddening ears failed to escape Ye Erruo’s notice.
“Are you actually feeling embarra.s.sed?”
“Care to repeat what you just said?” He turned his head toward her, regarding her with a poker face and eyes gleaming with threat and lethality.
Immediately, she said, “What did I say earlier? I forgot it all.”
“You’d better not be lying to me, Ye Erruo.”
“I-I wouldn’t dare.”
The man stayed silent.
“You must be hungry. You only had two eggs for dinner.”
“What’s with that grin on your face? Wipe it off.”
D*mn it! Why would I get jealous of an ugly mutt? And what’s with the way Yao Tiao looked at me earlier?
The woman leaned over from the side and placed a peck on his cheek. “Alright.”
As Mo Jiangye was opening the car door, Ye Erruo spotted a dog out of her peripheral vision. The dog was running madly toward her from a short distance away. The streetlights s.h.i.+ning down on its slim figure and fiery red fur made it easy to distinguish that it was Red Bean.
She panicked as she shot straight into the car and pulled the man standing outside in at once.
“Start the car quickly and get moving. I’ll prepare dinner for you when we get home.”
He did not doubt her words in the slightest, for he leaned toward her to help her fasten her seatbelt. While doing so, however, he noticed a dog-like figure through the side mirror.
