Lin Yuhuan put down his phone and said, " Tingyue."
[No badminton shuttlecocks, no badminton shuttlecocks, no badminton shuttlecocks.]
After silently repeating the mantra three times, Lin Tingyue looked at Lin Yuhuan with clear eyes and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
Lin Yuhuan: "... I won't take you to play badminton anymore."
Lin Tingyue considered it carefully and said, "It's good to spend time with my older brother occasionally."
If he hadn't just overheard Lin Tingyue's inner thoughts, he might have believed it.
Lin Yuhuan then asked, "Big brother, are you free this afternoon? Do you want to go out and have some fun?"
While going out to have fun was one thing, Lin Tingyue always felt that Lin Yuhuan was subtly hinting at something to her.
for example--
[All expenses for the afternoon will be paid for by Young Master Lin.]
For example--
[Take this card and use it freely.]
Lin Yuhuan was speechless. What kind of things did Lin Tingyue usually read?
But... it's not wrong either.
Lin Yuhuan coughed lightly. The sentences Lin Tingyue had imagined were too embarrassing for him to say. He simply said, "Whatever you like, your older brother will buy it for you."
Lin Tingyue suddenly realized.
[Just as I expected.]
Lin Tingyue nodded and said happily, "Thank you, Big Brother!"
She couldn't wait to go out!
My mood is just like every year during the Spring Festival Gala when the orange-themed app says it's time to empty the shopping cart.
How many sets of diamonds should I put in my shopping cart?
Should we park a few cars?
"Perhaps we should go easy on him?" Lin Tingyue glanced at Lin Yuhuan, showing great restraint.
Knowing that Lin Tingyue had spent a third of her savings a few days ago, Lin Yuhuan Lin Tingyue had been thinking of making up for it.
He wasn't exactly being too lenient, was he?
After all, if Lin Tingyue didn't have any money in her vault, how could she continue mending and sewing?
Lin Tingyue rubbed her hands together, ready to go, but she didn't expect that the first place her older brother would take her to would be a pet store.
Lin Yuhuan stood at the door and said indulgently, "There are quite a lot of people keeping dogs these days. I reckon you'll like one, go and choose one."
Lin Tingyue: "!!!"
Lin Tingyue did want a dog, that's true, but she looked up at him and said, "Big brother, I need to learn how to raise a dog first before I bring one home."
This is how you be responsible for your dog!
Lin Yuhuan agreed, and said, "Okay."
The two left and were about to cross the street to the mall on the other side when suddenly a dog rushed towards Lin Tingyue. The incident was so sudden that Lin Tingyue was startled.
She jumped, and Lin Yuhuan quickly shielded her.
The dog immediately hid behind Lin Tingyue and Lin Yuhuan.
Is this someone's dog lost?
As Lin Tingyue was thinking, she was about to pet the dog when a man walked over, looking anxious. " Beibei, come home with me quickly."
Beibei must be the dog's name. It whimpered and cowered behind Lin Tingyue, not at all like someone who had met their owner.
Lin Tingyue hesitated, then asked, "Is this really your dog?"
The man chuckled angrily, crossing his arms and sizing up Lin Tingyue and Lin Yuhuan behind her. "Look at you two, dressed so smartly, yet you're stealing dogs on the street. Yes, Beibei is indeed a purebred, but I, its owner, am still here."
Lin Tingyue: "?"
When are we going to steal dogs?
Is this person trying to shift the blame?
When the man saw that Lin Tingyue and Lin Yuhuan still wouldn't move aside, he shouted loudly, and soon a lot of people gathered there, pointing and whispering about Lin Tingyue and Lin Yuhuan.
Lin Yuhuan protected Lin Tingyue, and frowned, saying, "Sir, no one wants to steal your dog."
"You say there's no one, so there isn't..."
Lin Yuhuan said coldly, "If you're out walking your dog, you should have kept it on a leash. If the dog ran away by accident, with so many people here, logically it should be closest to you, its owner, but..."
But that's a bit intriguing.
"The dog couldn't possibly hide behind the dog thief," people murmured.
"Is this a pet dog? I thought it was a stray."
"Look everyone, the dog's fur is all matted."
"And the dog seems really scared of him... Is he abusing the dog?"
Lin Tingyue also found out.
[This actually belongs to his fiancée. His mother didn't like his fiancée having a dog, so he stole it, intending to find a place to throw it away.]
[Unexpectedly, the dog always returned home. My fiancée has been busy with work these past few days and didn't know the dog had been abandoned. She only noticed that every time she went back, the dog was unusually clingy and aggressive towards her fiancé.]
The fiancée thought the dog might be sick and planned to take it to the vet. The man volunteered to take the dog, but the fiancée worried that their relationship would suffer. The man reassured her, saying that as soon as she left, he began beating and kicking the dog and even planned to sell it to a dog meat restaurant.
[The dog must have sensed something was wrong and struggled to break free... How terrifying!]
The onlookers were shocked.
Lin Tingyue held the dog tightly behind her and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't hand you over to bad people!"
[Hey, the dog has a name tag on it.]
Hearing Lin Tingyue say this, Lin Yuhuan turned around and looked at the dog. He noticed a shiny name tag around its neck. Lin Yuhuan picked it up and saw a contact number written on it.
Lin Yuhuan looked at the man and said, "I suspect you're not the dog's owner at all. There's a phone on the dog's neck; I'll call it right now—"
Lin Yuhuan glanced at the man and said casually, "Your phone shouldn't be ringing, right?"
The man panicked, "No, don't hit him!"
It's too late; the call has already gone through.
After Xin Xiu went to work, she was still worried, so she took a day off. However, she learned from her neighbor that her fiancé had not taken the dog to the vet at all, and the neighbor had even seen her fiancé beat the dog.
Xin Xiu kept calling her fiancé, but he wouldn't answer. Xin Xiu was on the verge of a breakdown.
This phone call was nothing short of a lifeline for her.
When Xin Xiu learned that the dog had been found, she choked up on the phone and said she would come right away.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuhuan said, "Just wait."
The man tried to sneak away, but was stopped by onlookers.
An hour later, the woman arrived and her heart broke when she saw the pitiful puppy.
She crouched down and softly called the dog's name, and the dog happily jumped into her arms.
After a while, Xin Xiu composed herself. She stood up, and Luo Zhen felt a surge of panic. "Wife, let me explain..."
With a sharp slap, Xin Xiu said angrily, "Go explain to the police."
Sensing that Xin Xiu was angry, the dog kept rubbing against her. Xin Xiu patted the dog's head and said, "Mommy's okay. Beibei helped Mommy recognize a bad person. Mommy will reward Beibei properly when we get back."
The dog didn't seem to understand; it just tilted its head and stared intently at Xin Xiu.
Xin Xiu bent down and picked up the dog.
Xin Xiu was very grateful to Lin Yuhuan and Lin Tingyue, and exchanged their contact information.
Watching Xin Xiu lead Beibei away, Lin Tingyue sighed sincerely, "The puppy is good, but the person is bad."
Lin Yuhuan looked at Lin Tingyue and thought, "If the puppy is good, then my sister is good too."
Lin Yuhuan and Lin Tingyue entered the mall. Lin Tingyue thought that since they were already there, they might as well pick out a gift for Ying An.
Lin Tingyue was not satisfied with any of the choices she picked, so she decided to consult Lin Yuhuan for his opinion.
But Lin Yuhuan clearly didn't want to offer any advice.
Lin Tingyue: "..."
Lin Yuhuan felt this wasn't right, so he comforted Lin Tingyue, "It's okay, take your time choosing."
"All right."
I didn't expect to run into someone I know here.
The newcomer greeted Lin Yuhuan familiarly, then looked at Lin Tingyue with a hesitant gaze. Lin Yuhuan took the initiative and said, "This is my sister, Lin Tingyue."
Yi Sheng suddenly realized.
He was there to pick up something. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lin Yuhuan, he headed towards the counter.
"Mr. Yi, these are the items you ordered."
The saleswoman opened the package for Yi Sheng to see, and found it filled with crystal ornaments, each one different.
Yi Sheng said, "That's right, please wrap it up for me."
"Well, Mr. Yi, your wife is truly blessed."
[Wife: What bad luck.]
The sales assistant almost lost her balance; what happened?
[ Yi Sheng is quite the genius; after giving away such a huge box to his wife and mistress, he still has two left over to pursue new interests.]
ah?
Chapter 77
The saleswoman's mouth dropped open.
But she had heard that Mr. Yi and his wife had always been a model couple.
You asked her who told her that?
That's what the media wrote. When she scrolled through short videos after get off work, she saw three marketing accounts praising this beautiful love story in the business world.
The saleswoman hesitated for too long, Yi Sheng grew a little impatient. He asked, "Is there a problem?"
The sales assistant quickly replied, "No problem, no problem."
The saleswoman closed the box, took the ribbon out of the display case, and asked, "Mr. Yi, which color ribbon does your wife prefer?"
Yi Sheng replied, "Pink."
"Okay, I'll get right away..."
Another voice came, "Blue."
The saleswoman looked up and saw that the person walking slowly towards her was Mr. Yi's wife, He Jingning.
While she was slacking off that morning, she saw the two of them filming a trendy costume transformation video together.
The saleswoman glanced at Yi Sheng; wasn't this awkward?
To his surprise, Yi Sheng reacted naturally, raising an eyebrow and asking, "When did you start liking blue?"
