Chapter 716: 716, I am just too awesome
When it saw its owner coming over with a bone, it got so excited that it couldn’t help rushing over to show its enthusiasm.
But it was stopped by a stern yell.
KO froze in place.
Wagging its tail.
Sticking out its tongue.
All four paws angrily scratching the ground.
It had been such a long time since it had some quality time with its owner, and now he was actually yelling at it?
The dog was unhappy.
Huo Jingshen approached, bent down, and threw the bone into its food bowl.
Then he looked at KO.
It had been raining all day, and the dog house had a semi-open design, so the dog’s paws were now all wet.
Frowning, Huo Jingshen said, “Go ahead, eat. After you finish this bone, I’m taking you to the pet store.”
At his words, KO immediately howled.
Those wet black eyes were looking at him so pitifully, it suddenly didn’t even find its favorite bone appetizing anymore.

As Su Wanwan was going downstairs to eat, Huo Jingshen just happened to come home.
Soon, they heard the dog howling outside.
“What happened? What happened?” Su Wanwan asked in a hurry.
In a light voice, Huo Jingshen said, “I asked Mrs. Han to take the dog to the next door.”
“Where is next door?”
“The place where Ziyang and Fu Qi live.”
At his words, Su Wanwan abruptly put down her chopsticks with a snap.
“Are you letting Fu Qi take care of it?”
“Yes.”
“No way! I won’t allow it!” Su Wanwan slammed her hand down on the table stubbornly.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
“That’s your dog, you’ve been raising it for so many years, now what’s the deal with her taking care of it?” Su Wanwan was truly upset.
She was scared of KO, but KO was a dog Huo Jingshen had raised for so many years, and now he actually wanted to let Fu Qi take care of him, how could she as the wife bear this?
Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, “If not her, who should take care of it?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
After being conflicted for a while, she said, “Anyway, it can’t be Fu Qi!”
“KO doesn’t want to go either.”
Su Wanwan again: “…”
Outside, the dog conveniently started howling again, one after another, as if it was truly miserable.
Su Wanwan scratched her head and pounded the table, “Can’t it just be kept in the dog house in the back?”
“KO is a German Shepherd, they need a lot of exercise every day. Being tied up all day would make him feel uncomfortable and could also affect his health.” With that, Huo Jingshen casually picked a piece of braised pork rib with his chopsticks and put it into her bowl, “Eat some ribs.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
How would she have the mood to eat ribs now?
Huo Jingshen looked at the troubled young girl, “In fact, KO wouldn’t bite people randomly, you don’t need to be that scared…”
“I don’t want to be scared either, but I just can’t control it.” Su Wanwan sounded aggrieved.
From as far back as she could remember, she was scared of dogs!
Even newborn puppies, as long as they make a sound, she would be scared when she heard it.
It was like a demon in her heart, the kind that couldn’t be waved away.
“Your cousin is married now, the things from your childhood are long past.”
“I know.” But the demon in her heart was hard to get rid of.
Huo Jingshen put another bean pod into Su Wanwan’s bowl with chopsticks, “In fact, you should be grateful to KO.”
“What do you mean?”
“At that time in the car, if KO hadn’t caused a commotion, you wouldn’t have taken advantage of me.”
Su Wanwan’s eyelid twitched violently, “You…you took advantage of me! You’re the one who took advantage of me!”
KO started barking outside again.
Su Wanwan finally couldn’t take it anymore, “Okay okay, you quickly go and tell Mrs. Han not to take him away, just keep him in the back.”
Huo Jingshen looked at her, “Are you sure?”
Su Wanwan nodded hard, “Sure, sure.”
Huo Jingshen finally got up and walked out.
Su Wanwan sat there, waiting until the dog barking stopped. Only then she began to eat with peace of mind.
As for the villa next door.
In the first-floor living room, Fu Qi had been waiting for a long time. Mrs. Han finally came, but she was alone.
“Mrs. Han, where’s KO?”
Fu Ziyang, sitting next to her, also tilted his little head. He looked curiously at her back.
Mrs. Han spoke awkwardly, “Master Huo said that the mistress suddenly changed her mind, so KO won’t be sent here for now.”
“But isn’t she afraid of dogs?” Fu Qi frowned, looking unhappy.
Mrs. Han didn’t say a word.
Fu Qi hurriedly instructed Fu Ziyang, “Ziyang, quickly call Brother Jingshen and tell him we’ll take good care of KO, okay?”
Fu Ziyang squinted his little eyes, turned around and went upstairs.
Fu Qi: “…”
This child!
Is he now even ignoring his little aunt’s words?

On this side, after dinner, Huo Jingshen went upstairs. As soon as he pushed open the room door, a ring of the phone sounded.
Su Wanwan quickly picked up the phone, “Hello?”
“Is this Miss Su Wanwan?” A strange female voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Yes, it is.”
“Hello, I’m Joanna, the HR Director of MARVER Film Company’s Asian branch. I’m calling to inform you that you are expected to report to our company on April 18th. We’ve already sent the offer to your email…”
Su Wanwan was taken aback.
What the hell!
Really?
She’d just finished her interview this afternoon, and they already had results by eight o’ clock in the evening?
Did they always work this fast?
And she was just an assistant intern, she even got an offer?
Was it always this formal?
“Miss Su? Miss Su?”
Busy pulling herself together, Su Wanwan responded, “I’m here.”
“Do you have any questions about what I just said? I can answer them if it’s convenient.”
“Uh, no.”
“Good, then. Please arrive at the company at 10 a.m. on the 18th to report to me.”
“Alright, thank you.”
“You’re welcome, goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan let out a shriek of joy. As Huo Jingshen looked up, he saw her rushing excitedly towards him.
In a heartbeat, he was enveloped in her embrace.
“Honey, honey! I passed the interview, gosh, I’m going to be an assistant to a film director! Wow, I’m so awesome!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Su Wanwan was extremely delighted.
Seeing her so enthusiastic, Huo Jingshen felt a warmth gush through him. Bending his head, he was about to show some affection when…
“Let go of me!”
Su Wanwan abruptly pushed him away, picked up her phone again, and dialed a number.
“Weiyi, Weiyi.”
Hearing this infantile nickname, Huo Jingshen’s handsome face darkened.
“I have good news for you. I passed the interview, so we can have lunch together from now on!”
“Really?” Mo Weiyi instantly brightened up, “When do you start work?”
“On the 18th.”
“So soon? That’s great, then we can…”
Suddenly, her phone was snatched away by a man’s hand.
Huo Jingshen glanced at it and hung up the call.
“Why did you hang up my call!” Su Wanwan protested indignantly.
With a sarcastic smile, Huo Jingshen said, “Since you’ve passed your interview, your husband has decided to celebrate.”
“How are we going to celebrate?”
Hooking his thin lips up in a suggestive smirk, Huo Jingshen asked, “What do you think?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
She quickly turned around to leave, “I have to take a bath now. I have a film screening at school tomorrow, and my English proficiency test is coming up soon. I still have a lot of words to remember… Ah!”
Huo Jingshen scooped her into his arms, “We’ll bathe together.”
Su Wanwan whimpered in fright.
Talking about bathing together, didn’t he always end up…
The phone rang at this moment.
It was Su Wanwan’s.
She hurriedly said, “I need to take this call.”
“No need to.”
He knew all too well that it must be Mo Weiyi, the giant baby, calling again.
Just as they were at the bathroom door, Huo Jingshen’s phone also started to ring.
Su Wanwan said, “Now it’s your call.”
With no choice, Huo Jingshen had to put her down, “Go fill the tub. Be a good girl and wait for me.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
What the hell!
Does he have to be so explicit?
Already on the call, Huo Jingshen spoke, “Uncle.”
Uncle?
Su Wanwan was surprised.
Was it Huo Juncheng?
Something was said on the other end of the call, causing Huo Jingshen to frown.
A few minutes later, he finally responded, “Alright, I understand. I’ll pay more attention to Zhexi.”
“…”
“Uncle is too kind.”
“…”
“Alright, goodnight uncle.”
After hanging up the call, Su Wanwan anxiously asked him, “Did something happen to Huo Zhexi again?”
Huo Jingshen put down his phone, “He chose you over his family and said he’d cut ties with his uncle and aunt. He’s just packed his bags and moved out of the family home.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
“He’s a twenty-four-year-old man yet he’s acting like a brash youngster.” Huo Jingshen frowned, visibly uninterested in these family matters.
However, Huo Nuanyang was tied up with work, and his grandparents were too old for these troubles.
Huo Juncheng rarely called him, and only did so as a last resort this time, seeking help from his elder brother.
