Chapter 0048 – Security (2 / 2)

“You sneaking out again, little one?”

Su Wanqing leaned down and tenderly stroked its small furry head, a doting smile on her face.

“You’ve seen it before?”

Noticing her unafraid demeanor, Qi Zhi Iu’s eyes dimmed slightly, and a hint of loneliness inexplicably arose in his heart.

“Well, it belongs to a little girl’s pet.”

Su Wanqing held the dog, her eyes wandering around, “I seem to be the only patient on this floor, this dog ……”

“Leave it with the caretaker, and when its owner comes back for it, just return it.”

Qi Zhi Iu proposed, with an irrefutable firmness in his tone.

“Good thing too.”

She responded softly, and then the two of them walked together to the nursing room.

“This dog, please help us find its owner.”

Su Wanqing carefully handed the dog over to the caretaker.

“Oops, this dog ……”

The caretaker took the dog and a difficult look appeared on his face, “The owner of this dog, just now, has been forced to leave the country by his family.”

Su Wanqing’s heart tightened, “Then …… that child’s parents and family ……”

The caretaker sighed and told the truth: “The boy’s family didn’t want the dog, it was left behind on purpose, they didn’t care if it died or not anymore.”

“I think that little girl should have a good family environment, how can she not even have room for a dog at home?”

Su Wanqing recalled the scene when she first met that girl, famous brand plus body, how to look at it does not look like a child from an ordinary family.

“The family is indeed well off, but the girl’s real mother is long gone, the father remarried, and the current wife is pregnant.”

The caregiver’s explanation cleared everything up.

“So this is the way to send people away ……”

Su Wanqing had mixed feelings within her heart, if not so, the puppy that the girl cherished so much would never have been abandoned like this.

Seeing the puppy in her arms, and noticing the elaborate clothing on the two, the caretaker suggested, “It must be destiny for this dog to meet you, why don’t you adopt it?”

“Let me raise it?”

Su Wanqing looked down at the big eyes full of expectation in her arms, and her heartstrings were involuntarily plucked.

In the old days, I’m afraid she would have agreed without hesitation.

But now, she was living in the Imperial Villa, under the same roof as Qi Zhi Iu, and in order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings or his displeasure again, she had to think carefully.

So, she raised her head, her eyes meeting Qi Zhiyu’s, and softly inquired, “Is this okay?”

Qi Zhi Iu’s gaze met her expectant eyes and slowly nodded his head, as if a thousand words were hidden in those deep eyes, which eventually turned into a simple admonition, “But no going into the bedroom oh!”

The words were short, but they revealed an imperceptible tenderness.

“Woof~”

The puppy in his arms seemed to understand his permission and barked excitedly, his small body rubbing back and forth in Su Wanqing’s embrace, his fluffy tail swaying like a bell in the wind, full of joy.

“Be quiet!”

Qi Zhi Iu’s voice suddenly turned cold, his sharp gaze swept over the puppy that was rejoicing like a sword, and his tone carried a warning that could not be ignored, “Shut up!”

This reprimand seemed to have a magical power, the puppy immediately curbed its playfulness and ambled obediently in Su Wanqing’s arms, its big eyes glittering with innocence and cleverness, as if saying, “I know, master.”
