The puppy seemed to know it wasn't very good-looking, pressing affectionately against my hand, acting all cute and charming. I felt a soft spot in my heart being touched.
I pinched the puppy's face, looked at the store owner, and initially wanted to buy it right away, but then I remembered that I was living with Zheng Yufei. If she hated puppies, she might just kick both the dog and me out.
Thinking of this, I reluctantly put the puppy down, yet its damp eyes kept staring at me intently, making me feel quite uncomfortable. Seemning to sense my thoughts, the store owner spoke up while holding the puppy.
"Don't worry, this little fellow was birthed by an old mate at home, but I've got too many to care for. He's very healthy, and besides, young ladies usually have plenty of patience for small animals."
Hearing the owner's words, a glimmer of hope was rekindled in my heart. After hesitating for a long time, I still made the call to Zheng Yufei.
