Ruan Xingyao looked at the two beautiful faces pressed together on the screen and didn’t rush to tell “Awoo-One-Bite” what Dede had said.
Instead, she leisurely picked up her water cup, sipping as she watched the scene.
“Awoo-One-Bite” froze completely at the man’s sudden move, her brain lagging a beat before she finally lifted her hand to push his face away.
“You big bad guy! Don’t get so close to me!” The young girl puffed up in anger, her bun face looking even rounder—utterly adorable.
Fu Yanzhi tilted his head, watching her for a while before saying, “Alright, come with me inside first. Let’s see how you plan to prove Dede is yours.”
The two entered the house, and as soon as Dede heard voices, it bolted down from upstairs.
“Dede!” “Awoo-One-Bite” tossed her phone to Fu Yanzhi and joyfully ran toward it.
It was a young Alaskan Malamute, its chubby body moving so fast that it ended up tumbling down the stairs.
That plump little body went duang-duang, instantly melting everyone’s hearts.
“Dede! My sweet Dede! You’ve suffered so much! Wuwuwu! Look at you, you’ve gotten so skinny! That big bad guy bullied you, didn’t he? Did he not give you yummy food? Don’t worry, Mama’s taking you home right now!” “Awoo-One-Bite” hugged Dede, smothering it with kisses and ruffling its fur, burying her whole face in its coat.
Fu Yanzhi sat down on the sofa, casually placing the phone on the coffee table.
Even though the livestream camera couldn’t see them anymore, the barrage of comments was still exploding.
[Holy crap! Is this a mansion?! Look at that ceiling height—it’s taller than my life expectancy!]
[Did you guys see that chandelier? That’s the Fiace royal model. One bulb costs over a hundred thousand, and the whole thing is worth over ten million! I can’t believe I’m seeing a real one!]
[Seriously? You’re not just making that up?]
[It’s real!]
[Holy crap! The person above is the official Fiace account!]
[So… am I the only one wondering why, if this man is so rich, he still needs to steal a young girl’s dog?]
[Exactly! It’s just an Alaskan Malamute, not even some super rare breed—what’s the point of stealing it?]
[Emmmm… I’m picking up on a different kind of vibe here. I have a feeling the truth will shock us.]
[If that’s the case, I have a hunch we might be watching part of their… play.]
Ruan Xingyao noticed that some people in the chat had already guessed the truth, and she couldn’t help but laugh.
She said, “Little sister, shall we solve your problem first?”
After all, the livestream was still ongoing.
“Awoo-One-Bite” finally remembered she was still on a livestream call.
Hugging Dede, she walked over and sat beside the sofa.
She picked up the phone, aiming the camera at herself and Dede.
Dede shook its big head toward the camera, barking “Awoo! Awoo!”
“Awoo awoo! Awoo awoo awoo!”
【The dog misses Mom! Wants to go home with Mom! Woo woo woo! This dog wants to go home!】
“Awoo awoo! Awoo awoo awoo!”
【Bad Dad said that unless Mom agrees to be with him, this dog can’t go home!】
“Awoo awoo! Awoo awoo awoo! Awoo awoo awoo!”
【This dog wants to go home! This dog wants to eat the duck jerky Mom makes herself! Bad Dad only buys ready-made ones! This dog doesn’t like them!】
“Awoo-One-Bite” patted Dede’s big head, leaned closer to the camera, and asked,
“Star Streamer, what did Dede say?”
Ruan Xingyao replied,
“Before I tell you what it said, I’d like to ask this gentleman a question.”
Fu Yanzhi, who had been sitting outside of the camera’s view, shifted over when he heard her and sat beside “Awoo-One-Bite”, resting his arm behind her, completely caging the girl in his embrace.
Ruan Xingyao asked,
“May I ask, what proof do you have that Dede is your dog?”
Fu Yanzhi took out his phone, pulled up a photo of an adult Alaskan Malamute with four puppies beside it, and said,
“Dede is the child of my dog, so of course it’s mine.”
“You’re lying!” “Awoo-One-Bite” immediately puffed up like an angry cat.
“You clearly already gave it to me, and now you want it back—you’re going too far!”
The little girl’s eyes welled up with a layer of mist from anger, her grievance making her look heartbreakingly pitiful.
Ruan Xingyao let out an “Oh” and said,
“In that case, it does seem a bit tricky to determine Dede’s ownership.”
Hearing this, “Awoo-One-Bite” glared at the camera.
“Starry Streamer! Why are you taking the big bad guy’s side?”
Ruan Xingyao soothed her,
“Don’t be hasty, let’s hear what Dede has to say first.”
She asked Dede,
“Dede, can you tell me why you’re here instead of at your real owner’s home?”
Dede: “Awoo awoo! Awoo awoo awoo!”
【Because Dad says Mom can only have one dog—and it has to be him!】
Ruan Xingyao directly repeated this in the livestream.
Fu Yanzhi coughed lightly, and for the first time, a trace of awkwardness appeared on his usually refined face.
“Awoo-One-Bite” furrowed her little brows, looking at Fu Yanzhi with confusion in her eyes.
Fu Yanzhi raised a hand to touch his nose, and the next second, he reached over to grab Dede by the scruff of its neck and tossed it to the ground.
He leaned in close to the young girl, his warm, broad palm cupping the back of her head.
Ignoring the fact that they were still in a livestream, his gaze locked firmly onto her.
He said, “Baby, isn’t having me enough? I can be a better dog than Dede.”
The girl blinked her watery eyes, completely forgetting to react.
Fu Yanzhi’s gaze dropped to her soft, rosy lips, his eyes locking onto her like a predator who had already decided on its prey.
Seeing this, Ruan Xingyao didn’t say anything else and directly cut off the livestream connection.
The next scene wasn’t something suitable for her stream.
As a result, the barrage of comments was filled with complaints.
【Starry streamer, that’s too much! This is like stopping halfway through eating melon seeds! I won’t be able to sleep tonight!】
【So I guessed right, didn’t I? This was just a domineering CEO’s method of chasing after a young girl?】
【“I can be a better dog than Dede.” Ugh! When men get flirty, it’s really unbearable to watch!】
【I thought we’d see some juicy drama, but it turns out to be a rich guy courting his little sweetheart! I was just part of the “play” all along!】
【Still, I finally got to see what a wealthy family looks like! Tonight, I’ll dream about that chandelier!】
Ruan Xingyao smiled and said, “Alright, that’s it for today’s stream. Let’s meet again tomorrow if we have time!”
After speaking, she ended the stream.
Stretching lazily, she picked up Baiyi, kissed its big head, and said, “Let’s go, Baiyi, time for some good food!”
After streaming for so long, she was truly hungry.
Just then, her phone rang — it was a voice call from You Huan.
After a moment of thought, Ruan Xingyao decided to answer.
