Daily Life of a Wealthy Woof

Chapter 41.1

Chapter 41.1 — The dog tag was stolen

Zuo Ning lay snugly on two folded pillows. He released a loud burp and the sweet smell of oranges dispersed through the air. He pawed his stomach, turned over, and sighed comfortably. He had drunk two bottles of orange juice today. He wasn’t sure what brand of juice it was but it was delicious. It tasted even better than freshly squeezed juice. He felt that everything was falling into place today.

He could hear that the people outside were in a small meeting. From time to time he could hear Lu Chenghe’s low-pitched voice. Zuo Ning started to become a little drowsy again. When he was at home, he would play with Lang Ya all day and not nap at all. Now that he was with Lu Chenghe at work, he felt like he had become a couch potato. Between eating and sleeping, he did nothing else. If this continued, then he would gain weight. Although with fur like his, it was like wearing loose pyjamas, you couldn’t tell how thick the waist was.

He snapped out of his daydream when the meeting adjourned. He nodded in satisfaction when he looked at the time. His family’s Lu Chenghe is indeed a punctual boss. Even finishing work on time.

On the road home, Zuo Ning saw Lu Chenghe holding a colourful ticket. He curiously pulled the hand holding the ticket closer to look. A pet convention? What on earth was that?

Lu Chenghe waved the ticket in front of him, “Want to go?”

Zuo Ning blinked once. Apart from the time Lu Chenghe took him to the mall, they had never gone out again. Is his Lu Chenghe getting into the rhythm of dating now?

Lu Chenghe used the ticket to gently hit his head, “You’ve grown so big and yet have never really gone out to play properly. This weekend I’ll bring you out to do something fun.”

Zuo Ning rubbed against Lu Chenghe’s body then rolled his body to lean comfortably in Lu Chenghe’s embrace. He opened his mouth and closed his eyes. This is a date! Hehehe.

Zuo Ning counted down the days till the weekend. By the time it rolled around, he was so excited he woke up earlier than Lu Chenghe. When he saw that Lu Chenghe was still sleeping, he pressed most of his body on top of him. He touched his nose to Lu Chenghe’s lips and rubbed his paws against his cheek.

Lu Chenghe hugged the dog without opening his eyes. Because he had just woken up early in the morning, his voice was hoarse but sweet, “You’ve already started to make trouble so early in the morning. Why are you so naughty, hm?”

The moment Zuo Ning heard that voice, his entire tail began trembling uncontrollably. Even his paws felt itchy and numb. Attacked so early in the morning… how cruel!

Lu Chenghe rubbed the dog’s head then threw him to one side. Little Pudding could now no longer be labelled as a small puppy and it was a considerate weight on his body.

The sun rises a bit later in winter so the streetlights were still on when they went on their morning run. The cold wind was a little biting when it brushed past the face. Little Pudding was running back and forth with his mouth wide open and white puffs of air coming out. Compared to when he was like a weak chicken that could not even run half of the way, he could now run the entire course while playing around.

Lu Chenghe, who always finishes his morning runs, stretched a little. He looked over and saw Little Pudding carefully sticking a paw in the lake. Lu Chenghe wanted to scare him, “There are monsters in the water. Be careful that they don’t mistake your paw for food.”

Zuo Ning had his back towards Lu Chenghe and rolled his eyes. He just saw a thin layer of ice and was curious about how it felt. Every year Qingniao City would have heavy snow. His school used to have a lake which would freeze over every year. But because the ice was deceptively thin, there would always be a new student who would die trying to stand on it. The lucky ones were able to come back, but those who were unlucky would take one step and fall through. Although the school had a warning sign the deaths were unending.
