I Pretended to be Devoted and Weak, but My Husband Can Read Minds - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Small Actions

The kennel was very luxurious and could be considered a villa of the kennel world. It was also very clean and did not smell as bad as he had imagined.

The two half-grown puppies had already begun to bark when they heard human voices. However, they wagged their tails in unison and let out soft snorts, as if they were acting cute when they saw Auntie Liu.

Aunt Liu glanced at her Master, who did not look like he was in good humor, and gave orders to the two puppies, “Big Bei, Little Bei, don’t bark. Master is here to see you. Hurry! Sit properly!”

The two puppies shook their heads and wagged their tails at Auntie Liu, but they did not listen to her instructions.

Auntie Liu deliberately pulled a long face. “Sit! Otherwise Young Madam will come back to teach you a lesson if you’re disobedient!”

It was unknown if it was a coincidence or if they really understood, but the two puppies retreated aggrievedly. They barely supported themselves with their front paws and sat down.

Huo Ce raised his eyebrows.

Auntie Liu pointed around and said, “This is their bedroom. Big Bei lives on the first floor, and Little Bei lives on the second floor. That’s their bathroom. They already know how to go to the bathroom themselves. They’re really very smart.”

Huo Ce looked around at the flowers and plants around him and turned to walk back. “Send them away.”

“Huh?” Aunt Liu was stunned and looked at the back of her young master’s head.

“My mother and Huo Yuan are allergic. Pets are not suitable for them,” Huo Ce said calmly.

Aunt Liu was surprised. The dogs had been raised for more than two months and Madam and Young Master had no problems at all.

Huo Ce had already walked away.

He slowly observed and realized that there were changes of varying sizes in many parts of the house. This could not have been his mother’s idea. His mother was not capable of such opinions.

Then it must be because of that woman!

She’s quite capable eh, she actually dares to do so many small actions behind my back!

On the other side, Ning Wan, who had finished her business, sneezed for no reason.

Who is scolding me behind my back? Ning Wan rubbed her nose.

She had just gone to the bank to deposit the income from her part-time work in the safe. The system ignored such savings.

The system did not allow her to love the money from that man, but it did not stop her from loving the money she earned. It still had a little humanity.

A breeze blew past and Ning Wan could not help but shrink her shoulders. She looked at the time and realized that it was about time. She could take a taxi back.

She flipped through her pockets. Sh*t! She had been too greedy just now and had deposited all the cash into the safe, leaving her with only 30 yuan in her pockets. It would cost at least 70 to 80 yuan to take a taxi back to the Huo Family’s main residence!

This was bad.

A motorbike zoomed past her and almost hit her.

Ning Wan suddenly had an idea!

She was the young madam of the Huo family. Did she have to spend her own money to return to the Huo family?

She took out the ride-hailing app and entered a ride-hailing service directly. Then, she entered the number of the butler, Uncle Lin.

Hehe, Uncle Lin did not know that she had once set up an automatic program on his phone.

Ning Wan asked the car to stop about 2,000 meters away from the Huo family’s villa.

After getting out of the car, she stretched her ankles and began to march quickly with the huge cake box. She had to walk out a huge sweat before she reached home!

She had to let everyone know that she had worked hard, walking back from the city just so that the entire family could eat a bite of Similar Times’ cake!

She was an extremely virtuous wife!

The expected van slowly drove over from behind just as she reached the entrance of the Huo residence. The window rolled down and a young voice came. “Little Aunt, why are you here? Did you buy me a cake?”

The cheering voice made Ning Wan want to go forward and pinch his face. He was so heartless. He was even happier to see the cake than he was to see her!

Ning Wan was in a sorry state. She immediately held the cake up when she saw Lin Lang looking like she was about to cry. “Mom, let’s quickly see if there has been any damage to the cake. I was very careful on the way back.”

Lin Lang looked at Ning Wan and said belatedly, “Aiya, silly child, you didn’t walk back, did you?”

“Huo Ce! You asked Ning Wan to buy the cake but didn’t leave the driver with her? Look at how tired she is. I was wondering why it took so long to bake the cake today. Huo Ce! Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Huo Ce looked up from his tablet and casually glanced at the woman who was in a sorry state.

Ning Wan quickly said, “Mom, it’s not his fault! Don’t be angry. I’m just exercising. I can even lose weight this way. Let’s see if I’ve lost weight tomorrow if you don’t believe me.”
