Chapter 487: Chapter 487
Indeed, that was the case.
Qiao Xi’s day on set was active and sunny, and her mood was entirely different from usual.
Although she didn’t show it much, anyone could tell that she was in a great mood. Follow current novels on NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Qiao Xi glanced at her faintly, "Brother Chao didn’t come today?"
Su Tutu sighed, "He went on a business trip."
"No wonder," Shen Dang’s voice was neither salty nor bland.
"Alright," Qiao Xi smiled and waved at her, "Shen Dang and I have some things to handle, so we’ll be leaving first."
Su Tutu: "Ah, goodbye."
Qiao Xi browsed Weibo in the car.
Wang Li hadn’t released the video yet, and Nan Zhi’s matter was fermenting more and more, with netizens discussing it every second in the real-time hot search.
Qiao Xi felt the timing was almost right, so she sent Wang Li a WeChat message.
She put down her phone and looked at the man who was driving seriously, "Hai City has many pet stores, have you decided which one to go to?"
"I’ve already looked into it."
To take care of pets properly, Shen Dang had done his homework and even asked friends for advice on raising cats and dogs.
With the pet store manager’s recommendation, Shen Dang chose a blue-eyed Persian cat and Qiao Xi picked a Golden Retriever.
This dog looked very secure.
After completing the necessary procedures, the couple brought home a cat and a dog.
Their marital home welcomed two new members.
Shen Dang set up the cat bed and dog bed on the first floor.
The homes of the two pets were placed together.
Not only that, but Shen Dang also bought a cat climbing frame and toys that the dog liked, carving out a space for them to play.
With the presence of two pets, the exquisite marital home instantly had much more life.
Qiao Xi didn’t even stay at the hotel, followed Shen Dang home even though it was inconvenient.
A few days later, Qiao Xi followed the film crew to South City to shoot "Twin Sisters."
It was only after arriving in South City that Qiao Xi informed Shen Dang.
Shen Dang, sitting in the office reviewing documents, felt somewhat upset when he saw Qiao Xi’s message.
He pushed the documents aside and called Qiao Xi languidly.
"Why didn’t you tell me about going to South City?"
His voice came through lazily, tinged with a hint of unnoticed displeasure.
He hadn’t been able to see Qiao Xi off in the morning.
If he had known she was leaving today, he wouldn’t have let her off so easily last night.
Qiao Xi had just arrived at the hotel where she was staying.
Bei Bei was packing her luggage in the living room; Qiao Xi walked to the balcony and looked at the scenery of South City, "Didn’t I just tell you?"
Standing in the high-rise, the heat from the wind wasn’t too hot, only enough to lift her skirt a little.
Shen Dang clicked his tongue, indicating his displeasure.
"You’re putting the cart before the horse."
"You said you supported my work."
Qiao Xi had the upper hand.
What else could he say?
"How many days will you be filming in South City?"
"About a month, maybe less."
He couldn’t abandon his work to accompany her in South City for so many days.
"Alright," Shen Dang lazily tapped his fingers on the desk, "I’ll take good care of ’Whatever’ and ’Huahua.’"
Qiao Xi couldn’t help laughing, not expecting Shen Dang to be so childish, to bring home a cat and a dog and name them.
The cat was named Huahua, and the dog was called Whatever.
Since she couldn’t think of any good names and didn’t know which names would be suitable, Qiao Xi suggested a few, but Shen Dang rejected them all. Frustrated, Qiao Xi just said "whatever," and Shen Dang agreed to that.
It really was quite casual.
Qiao Xi laughed softly, "Yeah, I trust you’ll be a good dad to them."
Shen Dang curled his lip, his expression listless, his tone somewhat sarcastic, "Just that they don’t know their mom just abandoned them like that."
Qiao Xi: "...Nonsense, I didn’t abandon them!"
Qiao Xi liked that cat and dog very much.
Whenever she was home, Whatever and Huahua liked to stick with her, following her wherever she went. When she sat down to rest, they would also lie at her feet.
The two little creatures were so well-behaved, Qiao Xi felt heartwarming just watching them.
Days of petting the cat and dog were simply too joyful.
"Uh-huh," Shen Dang’s deep voice came through her ear, "You left all three of us behind."
His voice sounded pitiful.
Qiao Xi laughed, "Alright, alright, I’ll come back to keep you company once I finish shooting."
The film crew had a gathering that evening.
Qiao Xi attended as well.
Her phone vibrated, Qiao Xi took it out and saw a message from Shen Dang.
Qiao Xi opened the photo; it was of Whatever and Huahua sitting together on the sofa, an incredibly harmonious scene.
Although Huahua was a cat, she was quite clingy to the Golden Retriever. The two pets also got along very well in their new home.
She hadn’t seen them fight at all when she was home.
After saving the picture, Qiao Xi posted it to her Moments with the caption: "Whatever and Huahua."
"Woah, ’Whatever Flower?’ Are you serious with these names? The one who named them is truly a genius, I am impressed!" Tang Honghe left two comments.
"Gu Yingying: Handsome dog and pretty cat. Qu Jiashu: The dog is named Whatever? The cat is Huahua? Qu Keke: These names are too perfunctory."
Then she replied to Tang Honghe, "How could you say something so shameless?"
Qiao Xi also replied to Tang Honghe: "Shen Dang named them, Whatever is the Golden Retriever, Huahua is the cat."
Qu Keke commented below Qiao Xi’s reply: "Do you know what Tang Honghe’s cat’s name is?"
Qiao Xi replied she didn’t know.
Qu Keke said it was called "Jiaojiao."
Qiao Xi thought Tang Honghe’s naming was even more eccentric; she couldn’t imagine him calling his cat "Jiaojiao Jiaojiao."
It must be a bit funny.
Qiao Xi refreshed the comments, and when she saw Ran Jing’s comment, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"The names of the two pets really follow Ah Dang."
That was clearly a dig at Shen Dang being casual.
Indeed, from his own mother.
She was serious about teasing her son.
Su Tutu’s curious gaze scanned her, "Sister, what are you laughing at on your phone?"
Her sister had become silly after getting married.
How would she cope with this in the future?
Qiao Xi immediately pursed her lips and suppressed her smile, "Was I laughing?"
Su Tutu nodded, "Got it, I’ll take a photo next time."
"... " Qiao Xi held out her phone to her, showing off a bit, "Take a look at the pets we’re raising."
Su Tutu’s eyes lit up, "Wow, nice, you and Boss Shen have started raising cats and dogs. The cat is really beautiful, and the dog, well, whatever."
Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow, "Hey, how did you know?"
"The dog’s name is actually Whatever."
Su Tutu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, slapping the table, "That is really too casual!"
It hit her funny bone.
She laughed uncontrollably.
Qiao Xi’s long lashes drooped slightly, "Yeah, Shen Dang named them."
"Teacher Su, you seem very happy?"
