Chapter 153: New Family Member
The two of them brought the puppy to a relatively famous pet hospital.
As Huo Xiao had a severe obsession with cleanliness since he was young, although he liked small animals very much, he had never been allowed to keep pets.
Lin Shu naturally knew Huo Xiao’s interest.
In desperation, she could only open a pet shop so that her son could see small animals in a relatively safe environment.
She did not expect that the pet shop would expand, and its business scope also became wider. It had become a famous chain of pet hospitals in the city.
Huo Xiao brought Shen You into the pet hospital. He handed the puppy to the medical staff and waited quietly.
Huo Xiao looked at the dust and dog fur on Shen You’s body and frowned slightly.
He suppressed the urge to clean up Shen You. He swallowed his saliva and said, “When you were young, did you live well in the countryside?”
Hearing Huo Xiao’s question, Shen You turned to look at him and smiled. “Very well! I was happy every day!”
“At least, I was happier than living here!” Shen You said sincerely.
“Aren’t you happy here?” Huo Xiao asked with some heartache.
Shen You grinned at Huo Xiao. “I’m fine. I am happier recently!”
Huo Xiao suddenly raised his eyebrows. “Is it because of me?”
Shen You could not help but glare at Huo Xiao. “You’re so shameless!”
Huo Xiao chuckled. “I’ll definitely work hard to make you happier in the future!”
Shen You’s heart suddenly throbbed twice. She did not know why, but she felt her heart tighten.
Shen You was about to say something when the vet walked out of the treatment room. “The puppy is just a little anemic. The rest is fine.”
Shen You quickly got up and walked over, taking the puppy from the vet’s arms.
The puppy sniffed Shen You’s scent. As if it was familiar with the scent, it snuggled in Shen You’s arms and found a comfortable position for itself.
Looking at the little fellow snuggling comfortably in her arms, the smile on Shen You’s face grew wider.
“Doctor, do you need to prescribe any medicine for it?” Shen You asked.
“It’s still young. Just prepare some nutritious food for it,” the vet suggested.
Shen You nodded and said, “I’ll have to trouble you then!”
Shen You carried the puppy and left the pet hospital with Huo Xiao.
The two of them did not go back through the front door of the coffee shop. Instead, they went straight back to Xie Chen’s house through the back door.
Just as Shen You was about to open the door, she saw Xie Xiao open the door and rush out.
Shen You was stunned. Seeing Xie Xiao’s weary look, she asked, “What’s happening?”
“I just received a call saying that there’s an urgent matter at home and asked sister and me to go back,” Xie Xiao said hurriedly.
“We might not come back tonight, you guys…” Xie Xiao glanced at Huo Xiao and said to Shen You, “I don’t care anymore! I’m leaving now!”
Shen You was blinking her eyes watching Xie Xiao run away without looking back.
Shen You and Huo Xiao looked at each other awkwardly, feeling that Xie Xiao seemed to have misunderstood something.
However, there was no chance to explain now. Thus the two of them could only accept it.
They had brought the puppy home, but the puppy had been asleep and not woken up.
Shen You used her blanket to build a temporary nest for the puppy.
After putting the puppy on the blanket, Shen You quickly went to the kitchen and began to make the milk that she had bought from the pet hospital for the puppy.
According to the vet’s suggestion, Shen You carefully did the work of a super wet nurse.
Huo Xiao stood at the side and watched Shen You’s every move, a smile appearing in his eyes.
After being busy, Shen You finally squatted next to the puppy. Seeing the little guy sleeping soundly, she laughed to herself.
Huo Xiao stood at the side and muttered, “So cute.”
Shen You didn’t even raise her head and said, “Yeah! So cute!”
“Those boys are so bad! They even want to bully such a cute puppy!” Shen You said angrily.
Huo Xiao shook his head and didn’t continue speaking.
