Chapter 14 - stray dogs

Tao Chu Liang followed the sound and looked over. He found a little firewood dog that was a few months old outside of Xiang Chen Xi's villa.

"Woo woo …" Seeing Tao Chu Liang walking closer, the little firewood dog cried out even more miserably. Its big, black eyes looked at Tao Chu Liang pitifully.

The fur on the dog's body was a little dirty, and it was skinny. The tip of its nose was yellow. It looked like it had been wandering around for quite some time.

"Don't be afraid, I'll save you." Tao Chu Liang said as he ran towards the front door of the villa.

The Xiang family's servants only knew that Tao Chu Liang was an honorable guest of Xiang Chen Xi. Seeing that Tao Chu Liang was about to leave, they naturally did not dare to stop him. But the butler was worried, so he sent people to secretly follow and inform Xiang Chen Xi of the news.

When he heard from the butler that Tao Chu Liang had ran out, he wore the bedroom's special slippers and ran out. When he saw Tao Chu Liang, he purposely slowed his pace, pretending to not care as he walked towards her.

"I saved a dog." The first thought that came to Tao Chu Liang's mind, was that such a clean villa like Xiang Chen Xi's, wouldn't be able to contain any stray dogs. Therefore, she took the initiative to explain somewhat guiltily and a smile appeared on her face. "It's quite cute, isn't it?"

"You see it has a runny nose. It seems like he's sick. " Tao Chu Liang retracted his smile, "Can I keep it?"

"No." Xiang Chen Xi replied without hesitation.

Tao Chu Liang curled his lips, "Then I will bring it back to my family."

Xiang Chen Xi continued to emphasize what he said, "This is where your home is. Your family is not allowed to keep it. "

"He's sick! "Don't you have any sympathy at all?"

"You're sick too." Xiang Chen Xi's aura would forever be above Tao Chu Liang's, "A stray dog's body is full of germs, and you still dare to bring it home, do you want to get better?"

Tao Chu Liang was as determined as ever. His nose suddenly felt sour, and he clenched his teeth to stop himself from crying, "A stray dog will no longer be a stray dog once it has a home."

This time, Xiang Chen Xi did not immediately retort. Perhaps it was because he had caught a glimpse of darkness flashing across Tao Chu Liang's eyes.

Humans in a difficult situation would easily and subconsciously empathize with the weak. Xiang Chen Xi could feel that Tao Chu Liang was linking his life and his dog.

Tao Chu Liang quickly imagined what kind of atrocities Xiang Chen Xi might do to the dog, so he hugged the dog even more tightly.

The dog in Tao Chu Liang's embrace seemed to have noticed something and started to cry again.

Tao Chu Liang's heart had long since collapsed, but on the surface, he still forced himself to pretend that nothing had happened.

Xiang Chen Xi resisted the urge to smack Tao Chu Liang's head and took the dog away from her hands.

"You haven't even recovered from your illness, can you still hold it? I'll carry it back for you, and I'll be responsible for the loss of a single strand of hair. " Xiang Chen Xi promised.

Tao Chu Liang did not make a sound, and then carefully plucked a piece of wood from Xiang Chen Xi's shoulder. He silently stretched out his arm, and showed it to Xiang Chen Xi.

Seeing that Tao Chu Liang still had the mood to be naughty, Xiang Chen Xi's tense heart could finally be put at ease for a while.

"Go back."

"What are you doing!" Xiang Chen Xi flew into a rage, "Do you think you're a vet?"

This woman was truly worrisome!

Xiang Chen Xi no longer agreed to let Tao Chu Liang go near the little firewood dog, "The vet is almost here, sit tight here!"
