Daily Life of a Wealthy Woof

Chapter 43.1

Chapter 43.1 — Warm hotpot on a snowy night

After Nie Yong hung up, he silently stared at the ring on his finger. He and Xue Lu had gone into a little ring shop on holiday once and made the rings themselves. It was sterling silver and very simple, but it was personally made by Xue Lu. The one on her hand was also made by him. It was a little ugly. Xue Lu had teased him many times about it but had never taken it off.

When he first saw Xue Lu, she was in her fourth year of university. She was so beautiful wearing a white dress. Like a water fairy from children’s fairy tales or from mythology. She seemed like she should be cherished in the palm of your hand. Nie Yong had fallen in love at first sight and thus prepared to launch a strong offence to woo her hand.

Fortunately, he had seen Xue Lu reject the pursuit of a rich second generation boy. He remembered that Xue Lu said she liked someone with a strong sense of self. She wasn’t afraid of not having money. As long as she kept diligently moving forward she would be better than a rich second generation who only drives luxury cars from morning to night and lived a hollow and lonely life.

The unfortunate thing was that Nie Yong was exactly the type of person Xue Lu disliked. A second generation that had nothing else apart from money. To pursue the goddess in his heart, he recreated himself as a promising youth with a satisfactory family background that was actively trying to improve himself. Nie Yong was intimate and caring, was constantly available for whatever reason, and had a pretty good family background. In the middle of all those rich sons who only knew how to throw money at Xue Lu, he was able to smoothly get her hand.

Nie Yong was constantly trying to find the right moment to come clean but he was worried that their feelings had not reached that level of stability and kept putting it off.

He was lost in his thoughts and subconsciously drove home.

The moment he entered and saw Xue Lu’s shoes by the doorway, he paused in the middle of taking off his shoes. He didn’t know why, but heart sunk.

Xue Lu heard the noise and came out of her study. When she saw Nie Yong she felt a bit uneasy. “Why are you home so early today?”

Nie Yong put away his shoes. The moment he turned he put away his serious demeanour and smiled as usual. “Weren’t you out with your girlfriends today? How come you came home so early?”

Xue Lu stepped forward to help Nie Yong out of his coat and hung it. She casually replied, “Some people had other obligations so everybody just decided to end it. Did you eat lunch? If not, I can cook you a bowl of noodles.”

“No need, I’ve already eaten. Where did you go? Was it fun?” Nie Yong asked.

Xue Lu didn’t overthink and thought Nie Yong was also just making small talk. An interrogation was the last thing on her mind. “We were just window shopping at the shopping centre. And then sat in a dessert house for a while.”

Nie Yong took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and took one out. He didn’t light it but asked, “Was it the one in the one in the city centre?”

Xue Lu thought it was strange that Nie Yong was asking specifics. She turned to look at him and discovered that he was sitting on the sofa playing with a cigarette in his hand with a serious face on. Xue Lu had a bad feeling in her heart. Nie Yong was acting a bit strange today and she was a bit apprehensive. “What happened?”

Nie Yong lifted his head to look at her and directly said, “Did you see Old Lu and his Samoyed today? They also went to that shopping centre today, not sure if you bumped into them.”

Xue Lu was stunned. Although there was a saying that the day has eyes and the night has ears, she thought that no one would know especially since there were no cameras. The dog would not know what she did and was also unable to speak. There was no way this situation leaked out. But when faced with Nie Yong’s straightforward question, she was unable to stop the panic on her face. However she was determined to stay calm, “I didn’t.”
