How many nights had he returned to his empty home with no one waiting to greet him or ask how tiring his day was? He had missed her so much all this time.

Now that she was here and had cooked a meal for him, he felt like he had a family.

Ning Yao saw that Clarence was in a daze and nervously said, “Mr. He, if it tastes bad, just tell me. I’ll order takeaway for you.”

Clarence sat down and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs with his chopsticks.

After finishing a piece, Clarence seemed to be very satisfied. He said, “You’re too humble. It’s quite delicious. You should sit down and eat too.”

Ning Yao watched as Clarence put one mouthful of food after another into his mouth, tasting every single dish she had made. Soon, his big bowl of rice was almost finished.

Was the food she made really better than the food in a restaurant? It was obvious that Clarence would have eaten at five-star restaurants before. Ning Yao was a little confused.

She took a bite of the vegetables she had cooked. They tasted ordinary and a little salty.

The boss’s appetite was really strange.

After the two of them finished their meal, Ning Yao put the dishes into the dishwasher and cleaned up the kitchen.

When she turned around and wiped her hands with a dry towel, she saw Clarence leaning against the door and looking at her.

Those deep and passionate eyes returned to their calm state the moment she turned and faced him.

“Let’s go see Black. ”

Clarency led Ning Yao to the fourth floor. There was only one large room and an open-air balcony there that was decorated with many precious flowers. It was the season they were in full bloom so the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

The temperature inside the room was slightly lower than outside, and there was a huge transparent glass before them with a simulated forest ecosystem behind it.

“Black.” Clarence called out as he opened the glass door with the remote control.

A black snake peeked its head out from the leaves and looked at Ning Yao who was next to Clarence.

Ning Yao was a little nervous but Clarence calmed her down. “Don’t be afraid. If it dares to hurt you, I’ll stew it.”

Ning Yao was speechless.

And to Clarence’s surprise, Black, who had never liked strangers, seemed to be very friendly toward Ning Yao. He slithered his way out of the leaves and approached the duo.

Ning Yao had never been afraid of snakes since she was a child. Moreover, the little snake in front of her was so beautiful and gentle. She reached out, wanting to touch Black.

Black obediently stretched out his body and slowly wrapped itself around Ning Yao’s arm. Then, he stood up and looked into Ning Yao’s eyes.

The woman and the snake looked at each other, appearing strangely funny.

Although Clarence was not worried that Black would hurt Ning Yao, he did not expect Black to like Ning Yao so much and so quickly.

But it shouldn’t be a surprise that both he and his snake like Ning Yao so much.

Ning Yao reached out her other hand to stroke Black’s scales. She suddenly recalled the cold feeling she had when she touched the big black snake in her dream.

She didn’t know where the big black snake was now. What if he couldn’t find food in the dense forest? He didn’t have any companions. Would he be lonely?

“Ning Yao?” Clarence called out when he saw her in a daze. “What are you thinking about?”

Ning Yao came back to her senses and continued to stroke Black’s back as she said sadly, “I was thinking about the big black snake that had saved me. I wonder how it is now.”

Never did Clarence expect Ning Yao to be thinking about him. He felt touched and sad at the same time.

He really wanted to tell Ning Yao that he was the big black snake and that he had found her, but he could not do that.

Clarence suppressed the sadness in her heart and nervously asked, “You miss it?”

“Yes.” Ning Yao sighed. “But I don’t know how to find it. Maybe I’ll never have the chance to see it again in my life.”

“What would you do if you found him? Will you send him to the zoo?” Clarence’s voice was trembling.

He knew that if he was found by a normal person, the best way one would think of to deal with him would be to send him to the zoo.

After all, who would want to live with a big black snake?

His heart started to hurt bit by bit.

Ning Yao’s eyes widened when she heard his words. “I’m not sending it to the zoo!”

Ning yao had read a lot of news reports and knew that many animals in the zoo did not live well.

In order to embezzle the money allocated to them, some zoos would give the animals cheap and stale food.

In order to make money, some zoos would force animals to perform too, training them with rough methods and not taking the welfare of the animals seriously at all. How could she send the big black snake, who had saved her, to such a place?
