Pampering My Cute Pet

On an early summer evening, a laptop, a bag of potato chips, and a woman in an oversized t-shirt.

On the computer screen:

“Unrivaled Great Master, I read the latest chapter last night, it almost scared me to death!”

“So after seeing that black figure, where did Su Jian fall? Author, don't leave us hanging, okay?!”

“Just get used to it. This person loves to leave us hanging at the worst possible moments. As a long-time fan, I'm already immune.”

“So good! So exciting! A mysterious and bloody suspense story! It's my favorite style!”

“As a newly captured little fan of the Great Master, I want to know if the Great Master is male or female?”

“Heh, what do you think? Could someone who can write such a domineering story be male or female?”

……

Yu Wan scrolled through the readers' comments with one hand on the mouse, while casually picking up a potato chip with the other hand and tossing it into her mouth with a crisp crunch.

After reading through a batch of reader comments, she wiped her chip-holding hand on a napkin and started to reply. However, it was a unified reply.

“Eh? It's getting late, I have to walk the dog. My Highness is still waiting expectantly. Um… I promise I won't leave you hanging at a critical point tomorrow.”

After replying, readers gradually responded: You say that every day, liar…

Yu Wan didn't see it because she put the laptop on the sofa after typing. She stood up, stretched, and then said to a certain corner of the living room, “Your Highness, if you want to go for a walk, hurry up and eat, otherwise I won't take you.”

“Woof.” Yu Diandian obediently got up after hearing this, walked reluctantly to its designated dining area, and started eating with a smack.

Yu Wan glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then went into the dressing room to change clothes.

She took off the loose t-shirt she wore at home and changed into a knee-length early summer dress, then put on a light jacket. After changing, Yu Wan picked up a hair tie in front of the vanity mirror and casually tied her hair into a ponytail.

“Your Highness, are you done eating?”

Yu Diandian had been fawning over Yu Wan since she came out, barking twice to indicate that it was being very good and obedient. Yu Wan patted its head, grabbed her phone and keys, and went out.

She had to take Yu Diandian out for a walk every day at this time, otherwise Yu Diandian would become very listless.

Yu Wan locked the door and walked to the elevator. Just as she pressed the button, someone came out. It looked like someone from a furniture company. They were carrying a single-seater armchair, which was so large that it almost filled the entire elevator. Yu Wan looked it over; it was clearly a very comfortable, but also very expensive, sofa.

The furniture company people carried the chair to her neighbor’s door. Yu Wan raised an eyebrow; it seemed the new neighbor was someone who knew how to enjoy life.

Without looking further, Yu Wan stepped into the elevator with Yu Diandian.

The community where Yu Wan lived was a high-end community with a prime location, complete surrounding services, and excellent landscaping. Of course, the housing prices were terrifyingly high.

The terrifyingly expensive house she currently lived in wasn't bought by her; it belonged to her elusive older brother. She had been living here since she came from her hometown last year.

Yu Wan didn't need to go out to work. Apart from occasional trips when the mood struck, she mostly stayed at home. She had few friends, and the one she interacted with most was Yu Diandian. So Yu Wan had deep feelings for Yu Diandian. Apart from being a bit strict about mealtimes, she was very indulgent in other aspects.

By the lake in the community, Yu Wan listened to music with her earphones, watching Yu Diandian happily running ahead. “Your Highness, can you run a little slower?”

When Yu Diandian heard her call, it foolishly turned back, then ran out again, tirelessly repeating this.

Yu Wan shook her head; the moment it got outside, it went wild. At this moment, she saw a Samoyed running out not far away. Her eyes lit up. This one was so beautiful, bigger than Yu Diandian, with gorgeous fur. Tsk, it was even better cared for than hers.

Because it was the same breed as Yu Diandian, Yu Wan looked at it with curiosity. Who else had such good taste as her?

The Samoyed was clearly interested in Yu Diandian, following behind it relentlessly. Yu Diandian was a bit aloof and ignored it. Yu Wan smiled and followed, but after taking a couple of steps, Yu Wan was startled by the sudden change in the scene before her.

How did that Samoyed suddenly… suddenly pounce on Yu Diandian?! That posture, wasn't it, wasn't it that?!

Because the other dog was larger, Yu Diandian seemed to have no ability to resist!

Cough, Yu Wan thought Yu Diandian had no ability to resist. As for whether Yu Diandian really couldn't resist, or simply didn't, she completely ignored that possibility.

Her heart skipped a beat, and without a second thought, she ran over, “Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness, no!!”

A few scattered residents who were strolling nearby heard the voice and looked at the sprinting woman with puzzled expressions. What the heck? Did they think they were filming a historical drama?

Yu Wan ran breathlessly to within a few steps of the scene of the crime. She didn't know whether to look or not. She wanted to stop it, but she didn't know where to start! Dirty, too dirty to bear watching.

“Your Highness…” Yu Wan was about to collapse. Her dear Highness, her treasured baby, how could it be, be… in broad daylight… No, her mind was in chaos and about to explode.

“Hongdou?” A slightly shocked voice, smooth and magnetic, very pleasant to hear. However, Yu Wan couldn't focus on that at all. The moment she saw someone beside her, she grabbed at him like a lifeline, “Sir! My Highness has been forced… that! Can you help me pull this Samoyed away?!”

She grabbed the man's sleeve and shook it, but he didn't seem to react. She looked up and saw that the man's face was a little stiff, seemingly also shocked by the scene…

Also, Yu Wan blinked, a thought suddenly popping into her head: How could this person be so good-looking?

First, she saw a fair and delicate jawline, then thin and pale lips, a straight nose, and those surprised but somewhat indifferent eyes. Light tea-colored pupils, aloof and otherworldly, breathtaking.

“Hongdou!” While Yu Wan was in a daze, the man shouted. Yu Wan followed his gaze to the unbearable scene and found that the Samoyed had silently gotten off, looked back at the man, and whimpered, actually making Yu Wan see a sense of grievance.

Grievance?! Grievance for what?! My Highness is the one who should be aggrieved, a good, innocent girl!

“Sir? Is this your dog?” Yu Wan looked at the man in surprise.

The man looked down at her, his gaze naturally cold. “Let go first.”

“Huh?” Yu Wan paused, realizing she was still clutching his arm. She awkwardly let go, “Sorry.”

Wait… what was she sorry for? It seemed that he should be the one saying that. It was his dog that was misbehaving, wasn't it?

Yu Wan walked towards Yu Diandian with a heavy heart. Yu Diandian looked at her with a confused expression and let out a few low barks. Yu Wan's lips flattened; she was truly heartbroken. “Your Highness… Your Highness, how could this happen to you while taking a walk? It's all my fault for not protecting you, for letting you be violated by another dog. Your Highness, you have to be strong, don't be too sad.”

Shen Qingzhou looked at the person and dog embracing and weeping, the corner of his mouth twitching. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, “Sorry.”

This apology sounded strangely awkward.

Yu Wan looked back at him. “Sir, you must, absolutely must, keep your dog under control in the future. It needs permission, it can't just… with any dog it sees…”

Shen Qingzhou's brow twitched slightly, his voice a little deep. “It never did this before. This is the first time.”

Yu Wan didn't seem to hear, just staring resentfully at the Samoyed named Hongdou.

Shen Qingzhou glanced at Hongdou. Perhaps the annoyance emanating from him was too strong; Hongdou stayed motionless beside him, pretending to be well-behaved. Shen Qingzhou pursed his lips, thought for a moment, then took out his wallet and said coldly, “How much compensation do you require?”

Yu Wan paused. Seeing him about to take out money, she felt a sense of insult.

“No need.” Yu Wan stood up and muttered softly, “What do you take my Highness for?”

Although she spoke softly, Shen Qingzhou still heard it. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and it was indeed a bit tricky.

“I'll take my Highness back to comfort her. Sir, remember to go back and properly educate this… Hongdou?” Yu Wan finished speaking and gestured for Yu Diandian to follow. The two walked towards their residence.

When they reached the corner, Yu Wan subconsciously looked back at the man. She saw him crouching down, looking at Hongdou. He didn't know what he was saying, his expression not very good, while Hongdou hung its head, probably being scolded severely.

Yu Wan couldn't take her eyes off him. Logically, her older brother was also incredibly handsome, so she should be immune to this kind of beauty. But at this moment, looking at the man's elegant profile, she was still a little lost.

“Woof~”

“Ah? What's wrong, Your Highness?” Yu Wan came back to her senses. Yu Diandian looked up at her, its gaze making Yu Wan inexplicably embarrassed. “Um… after something like this happened, I really shouldn't find him so pleasing to the eye. My fault, I won't look anymore. Let's go home.”

Yu Wan took Yu Diandian home and then had a deep conversation with it. What happened today was truly beyond her expectations…

“Your Highness, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow. Don't be too sad.” After saying that, Yu Wan touched Yu Diandian's head with a bitter face. At this moment, her phone rang. Yu Wan answered.

“Hello, brother.”

“Yeah, what are you doing?”

“Nothing, just playing with… Your Highness.”

“Oh. I called to talk about your book. I checked the companies that contacted you, and there's one that's very good. You can consider working with them. I'll give you their number later.”

“Since you've already checked them out, I won't consider it further. Just go with that one.” Yu Wan said.

“Okay, then I'll have my assistant notify them. They'll contact you in a few days.”

“Okay, thanks, brother.”

“Get some rest.”

“I will.”

Yu Wan hung up the phone and turned around to see a certain dog playing with a toy, without a trace of dejection. Yu Wan rolled her eyes. “Yu Diandian! Tell me, don't you feel even a little bit wronged?”

After a moment of silence, Yu Wan asked suspiciously, “Were you… willing?”

The next day, Yu Wan slept until 10 am. She had been busy updating yesterday and didn't go to bed until past 2 am.

When she walked out of the room, she saw Yu Diandian waiting to be served like a lord. Yu Wan rolled her eyes. “Oh, I promised to make you something delicious yesterday, right?”

“Woof!”

Yu Wan hummed, took her phone, and walked into the kitchen. “Hello, resident of Building 7, 701. Um… the same as usual, yes, extra spicy… thank you.”

After ordering takeout for herself, she put on an apron and made a special meal for Yu Diandian. Sigh, perhaps no owner was as excellent as she was, eating takeout herself while her dog ate a healthy and nutritious, home-cooked lunch…
