Chapter 167

The Wolf King, somewhat smugly, rested its two front paws on Shi Wen's shoulders, seemingly amazed by the view, and kept panting heavily.

Shi Wen rarely hugged the Wolf King, but seeing this, he hugged it for a while longer, until Heiwa couldn't stand it anymore and looked up at Shi Wen, barking loudly, "Woof!"

Shi Wen the Wolf King had been cuddled, Shi Wen laughed and put him down, saying, "Alright, alright, you can hug me next time."

The Wolf King, still wanting more, howled, "Awooo--"

Shi Wen touched it again.

In this beautiful moment of "filial piety and parental love," the Wolf King suddenly sniffed Shi Wen's hand with his long nose, as if he had smelled something different.

Shi Wen, remembering that she had just petted the mother dog and puppies, felt a little guilty and raised her hand high above her head. "What are you sniffing? There's nothing strange. Stop sniffing and go back to eat."

The Wolf King bit Shi Wen's sleeve and followed him, sniffing.

Shi Wen avoided his nose.

The Wolf King was furious. It pawed at Shi Wen's trouser leg and turned to Heiwa, barking loudly, "Woof woof!"

It sounds like they're blaming Heiwa; how come he couldn't even smell that?

Shi Wen couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say you couldn't bark like a dog? How come you can now?"

Wolf King: "Woof woof!"

Heiwa hesitated before coming up, sniffed Shi Wen's hand, and then his expression changed, his eyes accusing Shi Wen.

Shi Wen the Wolf King continued barking, his furry face seemed to say, "How can you pet other dogs when you have one at home? Is that even acceptable?"

Shi Wen raised his hands. "Let me explain."

All the dogs tilted their heads back, Shi Wen an explanation.

Shi Wen, seeing the dogs' gazes, suddenly felt guilty. He coughed lightly and shifted the blame. "You're all grown dogs now, and you still don't have mates. I'm helping you find some."

Chapter 167

Neither the Wolf King nor Heiwa were easy to fool, Shi Wen to shift the blame failed.

A pack of dogs barked loudly beside him, and he had no choice but to agree to cook dog food for them that evening.

The dogs then licked their lips and stopped barking.

When Yan Kexing returned and heard about this, he had a smile on his face, "What were you thinking, actually trying to shift the blame to a dog?"

Shi Wen, "I just said it offhand, trying to distract them."

Yan Kexing asked with a smile, "Are the puppies fun?"

Shi Wen, glancing outside out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the dogs weren't there, he nodded repeatedly and whispered, "They're so much fun, so soft, so obedient and silly, completely different from our dogs."

Yan Kexing then laughed and said, "Then you weren't wronged by being barked at."

The craftsmanship Shi Wen was mediocre, and he couldn't easily go back on his word.

In the end, he decided to make a big meatball. Yan Kexing helped with the seasoning, while he prepared the ingredients and fried them himself.

The meatballs you give your dogs should have half the amount of salt, and that's all.

Shi Wen they added fresh bamboo shoots and diced shiitake mushrooms, making the meatballs incredibly fresh and fragrant. Each one was the size of a fist and packed with meat.

Shi Wen gave one to each dog and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

The Wolf King raised its head and glanced at him, still unconvinced. "Woof woof."

Heiwa also looked at Shi Wen.

Shi Wen squatted down and explained, "Today was really an accident. The mother dog brought the puppies to me, and I felt bad not interacting with them. I'll be more careful next time."

The Wolf King and Heiwa were somewhat satisfied and stopped howling.

As for the other dogs, they were busy enjoying their big meatballs, not even raising their heads, only slightly turning their ears to listen to Shi Wen and the Wolf King's conversation.

Shi Wen finally managed to coax the dogs into coming inside for dinner.

Yan Kexing told him, "Gong Jiang's thesis is almost finished, there are basically no problems, and he will be back in a couple of days."

Shi Wen exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! When he comes back, remember to invite him over for dinner!"

Yan Kexing: "Let's get together sometime this weekend."

"Okay, I'm all set." Shi Wen, shoveling rice into her mouth. "Has he finished his thesis defense?"

Yan Kexing: "Not so fast, it will take a few more months."

Shi Wen, "Then how can we be sure there's no problem?"

Yan Kexing: "I've published enough articles and achieved enough research results, so there's naturally no problem."

Shi Wen, "Then next time he comes, we should call him Dr. Bow."

The two chatted as they finished their meal, and then together they put the dishes and chopsticks back in the kitchen.

Shi Wen was emptying the leftovers from his bowl, intending to give it a quick rinse before putting it in the dishwasher, when his phone rang.

Those who call them at this time are most likely genuinely looking for something, rather than receiving spam or sales calls.

Yan Kexing took the plate from Shi Wen, indicating that he should go about his business if he had something to do.

Shi Wen people turn on the tap, quickly wash their hands, and then take their phones out of their pockets.

The caller was Xi Yuxin from Red Blossom Ranch.

Shi Wen hadn't spoken to Manager Xi on the phone for almost a year, so I was quite surprised to see his number displayed on the screen.

Shi Wen answered the phone in front of Yan Kexing.

Xi Yuxin's enthusiastic voice rang out. "President Shi, am I disturbing you?"

Shi Wen Wenxiao said, "How could I be bothering you? What is it you need?"

"Well, didn't you say before that you wanted to order a batch of lambs from our ranch after they were born?" Xi Yuxin said affectionately, "Now our lambs are a month old and will be ready for market starting next Monday. Would you like to come and pick some out first?"

Shi Wen was surprised that Xi Yuxin was taking such good care of him. A thought quickly crossed his mind, and he immediately said, "Yes, when are you free? I'll come over when you're available."

Xi Yuxin: "I'm free every day. If you've made up your mind, just come over."

Shi Wen immediately replied, "Then I'll come over tomorrow morning, around nine o'clock, is that alright?"
