Pet Romance

Sitting to the side, You Ran glanced sideways and couldn’t help but laugh, “Then you and I should be grateful, not worrying about money.” “You? Me?” Shen Qian found You Ran’s words quite strange and was looking at him with a pair of curious eyes. You Ran smiled with his lips pressed together, “I’ve been clothed in fine attire and fed with exquisite food since childhood, I could get anything I wanted that money could buy. Even now, it’s the same. People say the air force has excellent benefits, but for me, it’s nothing special.” “That’s your luck, having such a family, what does it have to do with me?” Shen Qian couldn’t help but roll her eyes again. You Ran put his hand on his forehead, looking very lazy, and said, “You are mine, what’s mine is yours.” Shen Qian thought for a moment, finding the words pleasing, and nodded in affirmation, “Hmm, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine, I like that. Hehe.” Shen Qian was also starting to enjoy being domineering. You Ran didn’t seem to mind her domineering attitude, instead, he laughed, pinched her cheek, and then started kissing her… Shen Qian didn’t even blush anymore, she went along with it, even hanging her hands around You Ran’s neck for her own comfort. After nibbling a few times, You Ran savored the moment and couldn’t resist teasing, “You seem to get younger every day.” Shen Qian’s demeanor was now even more lively than before. Shen Qian gave her reason for the change, “Actually, I find kissing or being intimate with someone you like quite enjoyable, so if it’s enjoyable, why not enjoy it to the fullest? It won’t cost us anything, and besides…” Shen Qian grinned mischievously, “According to scientific research, kissing burns a lot of calories, kissing 20 times a day can help with weight loss.” “What about making love?” You Ran raised an eyebrow. “…” Shen Qian fell silent; she actually knew the answer… but she was searching for a suitable word to describe this sensitive topic. She thought and thought, finally condensing it into one sentence, “It’s a kind of exercise, you know.” You Ran squinted his slender phoenix eyes, “Exercise makes you stronger, no wonder I’ve been getting stronger lately.” “…” Alright, Shen Qian decided she could keep quiet now. The saying goes, a comfortable environment makes one feel lazy and content. Spending time in a comfortable environment was even more so, in the blink of an eye, before she could catch her breath, the plane had arrived. Shen Qian felt quite fortunate; her first time flying was in first class on an international long-haul flight. It was not in vain! But… Shen Qian harbored some grievances. The moment the two dogs got off the plane, they ran to find their owner, both dashing to You Ran’s feet. Actually, it was only Qian Qian who dashed to You Ran’s feet, while the useless mutt chased after Qian Qian. Shen Qian’s excitedly outstretched hands stiffened awkwardly in mid-air, this empty embrace was quite embarrassing. Finally, after the mutt ignored Shen Qian for the N+1st time, Shen Qian pointed at the mutt and asserted, “I’m telling you, you white-eyed dog, you either follow this female dog,” pointing at Qian Qian, then at herself, “or follow me, you choose one.” The mutt shook its pointed ears, staring at Shen Qian with its round, shiny black eyes, looking confused, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue. Look, it kept staring at Shen Qian… Shen Qian suddenly felt comforted, ah, the mother is still the most important. Her words came too soon; the mutt just glanced at Qian Qian, who was also wagging her tail, then without moving its body, it leaped over to Qian Qian. Seeing such a heartbreaking scene, Shen Qian burst into tears, “You ungrateful, white-eyed dog who forgets his mother after getting married.” You Ran sympathized with Shen Qian, patting her shoulder, “Next time I’ll marry off his wife.” “Don’t do that, the mutt will cry.” “If it doesn’t cry, then you will.” You Ran was quite helpless. Shen Qian pouted, “It’s fine, Qian Qian took my mutt, I’ll take her favorite owner, we’ll call it even.” Saying this, she tugged at You Ran’s arm, smiling sweetly at him. You Ran returned the smile, “How about this, Qian Qian is pregnant, why don’t you get pregnant too?” Shen Qian’s eyes lit up, “Ask my mom.” “That’s a good idea.” You Ran showed a very gentlemanly smile. You Ran drove Shen Qian to the ancient town without bringing Qian Qian and the mutt along. Upon entering the town, You Ran drove very slowly, carefully observing this not-so-large town with its narrow roads and sparse traffic. His Rolls-Royce Phantom indeed stood out. When they stopped in front of her house, Shen Qian got out first. The neighbors of the old house were like gophers, popping their heads out to curiously look. Jing Jing, who was quite close to Shen Qian, rushed over and whispered, “Sister Qian Qian, did you go to the neighboring city and hook up with a rich guy?” “It’s not like that.” Shen Qian felt somewhat embarrassed. This was an ancient town, not many rich people lived here, and usually, when someone with a good car came, it was as Jing Jing said, women returning with wealthy men they’d met outside. Strangely, many pretty girls from this town who went out would come back with rich men, though whether they were the legal wives was unknown. Shen Qian’s mother had always run a small business, selling baby formula, making modest profits. You Ran came out a moment later, and when he did, Jing Jing’s eyes widened as she muttered to herself, “Such a handsome brother.” Shen Qian couldn’t help but feel a few black lines on her face; You Ran shouldn’t have driven such an eye-catching car, and even less… he shouldn’t have brought her home during lunch break. This town was small, and it would certainly spark gossip. You Ran pressed the car key, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom honked. You Ran walked up to Shen Qian, embraced her, and looked at the long-standing house in front of them. There was probably a courtyard, with about seven or eight neighboring households, and these neighbors, like gophers, were peeking from windows or doorways, all of an older generation, perhaps Shen Qian’s mother being the youngest resident here. Jing Jing kept staring at this handsome brother. Jing Jing was a seventeen-year-old high school student, quite a gossipy little girl. The more she looked at You Ran, the more familiar he seemed. She remembered not long ago when she was sorting through a pile of old newspapers to sell, there was a headline about a traffic accident, and the young master of a wealthy family on the front page looked almost exactly like the handsome brother before her. “Qian Qian, are you sure your mom is at home right now?” He surveyed the entire yard, noting only the house directly to the west with closed doors and windows. Shen Qian nodded, “Yes, I’ll go knock.” Shen Qian actually had the key, but she chose to knock. She knocked for a while, but there was no response. She was slightly taken aback, finding it odd.
