Zhao Youlin was stunned. Little had she expected this to be Joy's reason.
Zhao Youlin looked at Joy. He was like a newborn pup peeking at her timidly, seemingly afraid of being abandoned and rejected by her. She felt a sting in her heart and it resulted in an inexplicable heartache. Mixed feelings swelled in her heart.
Zhao Youlin reached out to pinch Joy's small face. She smiled gently and said, "Joy, you can't find a place that sells puppies in a shopping mall. Tomorrow, I'll bring you to the pet shop and buy one, okay?"
When Joy heard this, he raised his head and asked excitedly, "Can we really?"
"When have I ever lied to you, Joy?" Zhao Youlin patted Joy's head and smiled as she said, "Now, let's pay for the goods first. Then, we'll go back and tidy our home. Tomorrow, I'll bring you to pick a puppy as cute as you, okay?"
