Feng Yuanxi perked up and ran to Gu Qingluan, saying, “It’s a puppy, so cute!”

As it approached, the spirit dog trembled all over.

Why should it fear a mere child, when it had already been startled by the scent of a small black dog?

Meanwhile, the small black dog stared at Feng Yuanxi in astonishment.

Who is this child?

Why does his presence feel so familiar?

Gu Qingluan cast her gaze downward at her son. “Yes, one black and one white. They are siblings. You must remember to take good care of them in the days ahead.”

…..

The small black dog felt indignant. What did she mean siblings? It was not a dog!

“I will make sure to feed them well and let them grow big and strong!” Feng Yuanxi didn’t care about what the pets looked like. He was thrilled because they were gifts from the beautiful sister.

He would take good care of them!

Gu Qingluan gave a subtle glance at the small black dog. “Say hello to Xiaonan.”

Her gaze carried a threat.

The small black dog’s mind flashed with three possible fates.

Of course, it didn’t want to be boiled into soup or become a guard dog!

Reluctantly, the small black dog, forced into this predicament, whimpered and called out to Feng Yuanxi, walking unsteadily toward him.

The small black dog was a newborn, its voice was soft, and its size was tiny with soft and fluffy fur, easily evoking others’ affection.

It gave its all just to win favor!

Gu Qingluan found it amusing to see the small black dog on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Who would have imagined that this little creature could act like this? If she hadn’t witnessed its incredible speed earlier, she would have found it hard to believe.

Feng Yuanxi opened the cage and gently rubbed its little head.

The small black dog was delighted.

Was it chosen?

But then, a force pushed its head back into the cage.

Bang!

The iron door closed.

The small black dog was shocked.

Why was it put back into the cage?

Shouldn’t it be carried instead?

Oh no, it wouldn’t be boiled into soup, would it?

No, no, no! It was not a dog!

It whimpered, innocent round eyes pitifully looking at Feng Yuanxi, hoping to arouse his sympathy.

Feng Yuanxi glanced at it and then turned his gaze to Gu Qingluan. “Mother, let’s go inside and prepare a nest for the puppies!”

Gu Qingluan had been observing his expression all along. When she saw his eyebrows relax and his previous despondency disappear, she felt a weight lifted from her heart.

Once Xiaonan and the two pets developed a bond, he wouldn’t think about Xiaobai anymore, right?

She happily agreed, “Alright!”

Back at the residence, Feng Yuanxi personally instructed the servants to prepare the best doghouse and food for the two puppies, showing great seriousness.

Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but smile.

Feng Yuanxi stood up suddenly and pulled Gu Qingluan along to arrange the doghouse for the puppies.

“Xiaonan, these two puppies don’t have names yet. Would you like to give them names?”

Feng Yuanxi obediently replied, “Mother, I’ll let you decide.”

Gu Qingluan stared at the black and white puppies and casually said, “Let’s name them Briquette and SteamBun. It’s suitable because one is black and the other is white, making it easy to remember and call them.”

Are you a devil?

These names are so unpleasant and tacky, surely no one would support them, right?

The small black dog turned its head to Feng Yuanxi, hoping to hear him reject the names.

As a diehard fan, Feng Yuanxi wholeheartedly praised, “Those names are fantastic! Mother, you are incredible. You have a remarkable talent for coming up with such fitting and delightful names spontaneously.”

The small black dog was speechless.

Could it protests?

Clearly, it couldn’t protest.

It turned its head to glance at the other cage, where the timid dog excitedly hung its tongue, completely uninterested in what its own name would be!

And so, the names for the two puppies were decided!

After betraying its animal dignity, the small black dog had to submit once again.

It slumped in the cage, feeling utterly hopeless in its wolf’s life, listening to the mother and son occasionally uttering the words “Briquette” and “SteamBun”, making it feel like its wolf’s destiny was fading away!

Gu Qingluan played with her son for half an hour until a servant came to deliver a message.

“Madam, someone from the Gu Family wishes to see you.”

Gu Qingluan chuckled softly.

She thought the Gu Family would endure a bit longer.

But, well, others may be able to endure, but Wang Shi’s body couldn’t.

“Who is it?” she asked.

“It’s Second Master Gu.”

“Did he say why he came?”

“He said he wants to invite Mr. Liu to come and treat Madam Gu’s illness.”

As expected!

Gu Qingluan calmly said, “1 won’t see him.”

“Um, accompanying him is the Fifth Prince.”

“The Fifth Prince? Why is he here too?”

Gu Qingluan furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

Suddenly, her heart tightened, and a surge of pain washed over her..
