Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 378 Danger Approaching (2)

"Honey, hand me my clothes." Just as Mi Jing was feeling distressed, Shen Lingxing suddenly spoke up, striding over confidently.

"Oh."

Mi Jing reacted quickly. The moment Shen Lingxing’s voice dropped, she bent down, swiftly picking up the clothes draped over the chair arm and handed them over to him with ease. This move seemed perfectly normal to her, but to Shen Lingxing and Mu Shaolei, it made her seem a bit overly nervous.

"Don’t be nervous, I just want to invite you to dinner. That way, you can..." Mu Shaolei smiled gently and turned to look at Shen Lingxing. He stopped speaking abruptly when he saw his face.

"It’s you." As Mu Shaolei looked at Shen Lingxing, Shen Lingxing looked back at him. They met each other’s eyes, both momentarily stunned.

"Shen."

"What are you doing here?" Shen Lingxing asked, staring at Mu Shaolei.

"On vacation, of course."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingxing didn’t pursue the matter further. As if declaring ownership, he introduced, "This is my wife, Mi Jing."

"Sister-in-law."

Being a man himself, Mu Shaolei understood the deeper meaning behind Shen Lingxing’s words, so he smiled lightly and changed his tone to address her appropriately.

"Hello." Seeing that Shen Lingxing knew Mu Shaolei put Mi Jing at ease, and she smiled warmly, exuding friendliness.

Mi Jing’s smile was beautiful and contagious, making Mu Shaolei unconsciously look at her a couple more times before turning to Shen Lingxing, "Brother Shen, let’s have dinner together tonight. Consider it my thanks for you and sister-in-law for taking care of Pudding."

"If you really want to thank us, just give us the dog as a gift." Shen Lingxing was putting on his clothes, his head emerged from the collar just in time to catch Mu Shaolei’s slightly stiff expression.

Pudding had been with him for many years and was like family to him. No matter how generous he was, he couldn’t possibly hand over his family!

"Haha, Ling Xing is just joking, don’t take it seriously." Sensing Mu Shaolei’s unusual reaction, Mi Jing smiled and smoothed things over before Shen Lingxing could explain.

Even though this was their first time meeting, and they certainly didn’t know each other well, from the deep concern and care Pudding had just shown by running around, it was clear that their bond was extremely strong. Otherwise, Pudding wouldn’t have reacted that way.

"Sorry, Pudding is very important to me. I can’t just give it away." Mu Shaolei said, looking somewhat serious.

On hearing this, Shen Lingxing looked down at Pudding laying by Mu Shaolei’s feet, then explained slowly, "What I meant was, if there are puppies in the future, give us one."

"That won’t be a problem." Mu Shaolei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, agreeing readily.

The tension in the atmosphere eased for a moment, but then Shen Lingxing’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. He glanced at the red roses in Mi Jing’s hands and said in a deep voice, "Dinner is fine, but you must take away the roses you brought."

"They are a gift from Pudding," Mu Shaolei explained.

"What can a dog understand?" Shen Lingxing said dismissively.

"But it’s not an ordinary dog." Mu Shaolei remained silent for a second before explaining.

"My wife can only accept roses from me." Shen Lingxing said sternly, looking very domineering and stubborn. Hearing this, Mi Jing immediately felt the roses in her hand become a hot potato. She crouched down and handed the roses back to Pudding, "Pudding, I can’t accept these flowers. You take them back."

"..."

Looking at the red roses in front of it, Pudding’s eyes showed a hint of confusion. When Mi Jing touched its mouth with the roses, it finally reacted and stood up abruptly, stepping back in refusal.

It wasn’t willing to take the roses back.

Suddenly, Mi Jing’s heart almost melted from Pudding’s reaction. While touched, she insisted on returning the flowers, but this time, she didn’t hand them to Pudding but instead stood up and handed them to Mu Shaolei.

"Alright, I’ll take the flowers on Pudding’s behalf." Seeing their resolute attitude, Mu Shaolei could only comply and take the flowers from Mi Jing.

"Woof woof——"

This time, Pudding wasn’t happy. It barked while jumping up to Mu Shaolei, looking like it wanted to snatch the flowers back.

"Pudding, calm down." Mu Shaolei gently petted Pudding but commanded in a stern voice.

"Woof woof——"

Pudding had a clear goal. It looked up at the roses in Mu Shaolei’s hand, barking one after another.

Seeing this, Mi Jing felt deeply soft-hearted. Pudding was so adorable it made her heart ache, but since Shen Lingxing had already spoken, if she insisted on accepting the roses, it might make Shen unhappy.

"Brother Shen, can you pity me?" Pudding refused to give up and Mu Shaolei couldn’t persuade it, so he had no choice but to helplessly ask Shen Lingxing for help.

Another man coveting his wife was one thing, but now even this dog had designs on her?

Shen Lingxing squinted his eyes slightly and, with a sullen face, reluctantly took the roses from Mu Shaolei’s hand.

"Woof woof."

Pudding still didn’t give up, jumping down from Mu Shaolei and lunging towards Shen Lingxing.

"Pudding, stop it!" Mu Shaolei quickly grabbed Pudding by the fur on its neck, sternly ordering in a cold voice.

"Awooo."

Perhaps sensing its owner’s anger, Pudding instantly calmed down, whimpered pitifully twice, and then stubbornly fixed its gaze on the rose it wanted to give Mi Jing.

Whimper...

Mi Jing was already so moved that she was silently crying in her heart and couldn’t help but glance at Shen Lingxing with a hint of resentment.

"Here."

Shen Lingxing knew Mi Jing was soft-hearted. If he still refused to give her the flower, even if she didn’t get angry, she would feel guilty and think that they had wronged this dog!

"Pudding, look, I accepted the flower." As soon as the rose was back in her hand, Mi Jing joyfully showed it to Pudding.

"Woof."

Pudding barked happily, then trotted over to Mi Jing’s feet and began circling around her.

"Pudding, we should go." If they didn’t leave now, he couldn’t guarantee that Shen Lingxing wouldn’t slaughter his dog.

"Brother Shen, sister-in-law, see you tonight."

Mu Shaolei didn’t want to continue playing third wheel, so after saying goodbye, he took the lead and walked away. Although Pudding was reluctant to leave Mi Jing, it was even more eager to return to its owner. So, after circling until it was a bit dizzy, it finally stopped, looked up at Mi Jing and wagged its tail, and then dashed off to catch up with Mu Shaolei’s pace.
