Chapter 242: It Is Not Just A Dog

The woman’s face soured. “Hey, hey, hey. Little thing, what do you think you’re doing?”

Hanging on to the fabric by its teeth, Red Bean simply refused to let go.

SLASH!

The coat was finally torn apart by its stubborn actions.

The woman was dumbstruck.

“Do you really like this coat so much? Take it! Take it then!” She gave up and threw the coat at it.

She just couldn’t understand its obsession over this piece of clothing.

While clenching the coat with its teeth, it continued to shadow the woman tirelessly regardless of where she went. Still, the woman could not understand its intentions.

When night fell, it was still holding the coat in its mouth. The piece of clothing had turned into a moping rag that was dragged mercilessly back and forth across the floor by then. Yao Tiao prepared its dinner, put the food down, and went to have dinner by herself.

She reckoned that she had tried every means possible in vain, so there was nothing more she could do.

The creature lay on the floor in a straight line, still refusing to take in a morsel.

She was at her wits’ end. As she munched on her food, she shot a question aimlessly at it. “My dear sir, what do you really want?”

She’d wanted to starve it for a day or two before coaxing it into eating again. After all, a hungry dog would eat on its own. However, out of the blue, the owner had called her that day to let her know that she would be heavily rewarded for every kilo that the dog gained before he claimed his pet!

This is easy money!

Alas, this little fellow had refused to cooperate so far.

“How about a drumstick?” She held up a delicious-smelling drumstick in front of its nose and waved the food seductively. Unfortunately, the dog remained oblivious to the enticement, refusing to even bat an eyelid.

There was nothing more she could say or do until she went to pull the coat lying on the ground. The creature sat up instinctively, snarling and pointing its claws at the woman’s outstretched hand.

She seemed to recognize its weak spot. After tugging at a small corner of the fabric, she gave a sudden jerk to pull the clothing item straight into her hands.

The creature went mad with anger and plunged headlong toward the woman, almost sending her crashing to the floor.

It was in a high alert mode by then, so it stared ferociously at her.

“I’ll give this to you if you agree to eat.”

The animal continued to fix its eyes on the piece of fabric in her hands, ready to pounce on her at any time.

“Hurry up and eat, or I’ll burn it.” Picking up the lighter next to her, she threatened to set the coat on fire.

Now, this wasn’t just an ordinary dog.

“Wuu… Wuu…” Turning its head to one side, it jumped on the sofa, curled itself into a ball-like shape, and played dead.

“Are you sick?” Thinking this was a possibility, she attempted to take it to the vet. However, the animal jumped out of her reach before she could touch it.

While hiding in a corner, it tapped the sofa with its paws. The creature was dividing the space between it and the lady!

This is mine and that is yours! it seemed to say.

“T-This puppy… This creature here… is drawing a line with me?”

Or has it gone mad?

The woman did not know what to think of this dog by now…

CLICK! The door was opened and in walked Ji Sichen.

“Whose dog is this? Why did you bring it home?” he asked.

She shot him a look. “Can’t I pet-sit for a few days?”

“As you wish! Anyway, I couldn’t get Xiao Ruo on the phone the last couple of times. Where could she be?”

“You have to see who’s calling. I can get through with one call.”

The little fellow ran over to the man, sniffing and wagging its tail at him as it circled him.
