She couldn’t bear it, bid farewell to her classmates, and took it to a nearby pet shop for a bath, then had its health checked.
Then, she secretly ’smuggled’ it back home.
At that time, she was still living with Fu Yi. They had just gotten married, and she hadn’t figured out his temperament yet, always being cautious at home. Bringing the stray dog back was the bravest thing she’d done.
She sent him a text saying she had a surprise for him.
Who knew that when she dressed up the dog that evening, tied a bow around its neck, and brought it in front of him, the house maid excitedly said he was allergic to small animals and urged her to get rid of the dog quickly.
Back then, she felt as out of place in that home as the toothbrush she was rejected with. Later, she took the toothbrush to Li Qing, begging her to adopt the toothbrush.
After she got home, she tentatively asked him if he liked small animals. She couldn’t remember how he replied at the time; anyway, afterward she didn’t dare bring the dog back. He never asked what the surprise she mentioned in her message was, as if no matter what she did, it was met with indifference...
Jiang Nuan couldn’t help but space out, only to hear Li Qing say, "Not long after you went abroad to study, I accidentally fell and hurt my back. I needed to stay in the hospital for several months, and there was no one at home. My son was allergic to dog hair and couldn’t help me take care of the toothbrush. I really couldn’t find anyone to look after it, so I called Mr. Fu and told him that you entrusted me with taking care of the dog. Mr. Fu then took the toothbrush back; the toothbrush seemed to really like him. Since then, Mr. Fu has been the one caring for it."
After she finished speaking, she looked over with a puzzled expression, "Nuannuan, didn’t Mr. Fu tell you?"
What do you guys usually talk about on the phone? Not even mentioning this.
Fu Yi answered before Jiang Nuan could, "I was busy with work before, then I forgot to tell her afterward."
"...I see." Li Qing still found it strange, but she didn’t ask much about other people’s marital affairs. She cheerfully said to Jiang Nuan, "With Mr. Fu, the toothbrush is living the good life. Mr. Fu often makes nutritious dog meals for it; look how much fatter it is. Today, Mr. Fu asked me to watch it as it bathed, and the pet shop owner said it needs to lose weight."
Jiang Nuan looked in shock at the man opposite her.
He not only took in the toothbrush but also cooked for it?
Jiang Nuan couldn’t imagine that scene.
Capital City’s future mayor, distinguished and outstanding in the upper circles, Mr. Fu actually keeps a mutt and even cooks for it.
If this gets out, countless people will be dumbfounded.
The small woman’s bright eyes looked over, seemingly saying ’Did you take the wrong medicine?’ Fu Yi almost couldn’t hold back from pulling her into his arms.
He raised his hand as if easy-going, blocking his thin lips that evoked imagination while smiling, "It’s been eating too much lately; I’ll pay attention to giving it some green vegetables later and have someone take it to the nearby gym for some water play."
Capital City has quite a few high-end pet clubs, just like human clubs, equipped with professional facilities, including swimming pools, and staffed with veterinarians to care for the pets of the aristocracy.
The ’guests’ inside are numerous, but no mutts have likely been there yet.
Fu Yi’s thoughts were simple; in the future, if the toothbrush wants to go for water play, he’ll have someone close the pool area so that the toothbrush has the place all to itself, avoiding tactless people who might speak ill of his dog.
