The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 14

While on the street, Song Jin once witnessed a large black dog frantically attacking its own owner. At that moment, she thought the dog had gone mad.

But now…

Looking at the dog’s steps, it was… so cute!

The large black dog walked cautiously, occasionally sneaking a peek. Song Jin felt her heart melting with affection.

How could there be such an adorable dog!

To maintain the dog’s dignity, Song Jin and Wan Xi continued their casual conversation as if nothing was happening.

“Have you eaten?”

“No.”

“You haven’t eaten?”

“I have.”

…

This dialogue repeated about twenty times before the large black dog finally sidled up to Song Jin.

It rubbed its furry head against Song Jin’s calf, looking utterly content and happy.

Song Jin…

She was shocked, but being adored by the dog like this made her heart warm.

Wan Xi poked Song Jin’s shoulder with a mischievous smile, “Young Master, didn’t I tell you? It really likes you!”

Song Jin, who was being adored by a dog, couldn’t help but reach out and pet the large black dog’s furry head.

Suddenly touched, the large black dog stood up on its hind legs and looked up at Song Jin, giving a doggy smile.

Song Jin…

Wan Xi…

Both froze.

“Why are you here? Did you come by yourself?”

“Do you want a chicken leg? You can have as many as you want, don’t leave.”

When Song Jin asked the first question, the dog just looked at her gently.

As soon as Wan Xi mentioned the chicken leg, the dog nodded enthusiastically, as if saying: I’m not leaving!

It wagged its tail happily at Wan Xi, showing no grudge about Wan Xi nearly breaking its neck that morning.

Song Jin…

They say dogs are the most loyal, that anyone might betray you but not a dog!

Yet this large black dog first attacked its owner in the street and now jumped over the wall to seek chicken legs at her place. It really seemed like it was switching sides!

Wan Xi patted the dog’s head, “Good boy, I’ll get you a chicken leg soon!”

Then, Wan Xi turned to Song Jin with a pleading look, “Young Master, can we adopt it?”

Although Wan Xi had disguised herself as a boy since childhood, she had the heart of a young girl.

Song Jin hesitated while stroking the dog’s fur.

This dog belonged to the people who tried to assassinate Shen Yue. If it could attack its own master, what might it do to them…

Song Jin couldn’t figure out why the dog was acting like this.

It couldn’t really be just for chicken legs, could it?

It couldn’t be a spy sent by the enemy, right?

Just as Song Jin was hesitating, Shen Yue walked over with small steps.

Upon seeing the large black dog, Shen Yue was so shocked he almost stumbled, though he managed to keep his balance thanks to his steady stance.

Seeing Shen Yue enter, Song Jin petted the dog’s head and stood up.

Shen Yue’s eyes were cold. “Why is it here?”

In the time he had spent in Yu County, the assassins sent by the crown prince had always found him because this dog led them.

Despite his icy demeanor, Shen Yue didn’t forget he was disguised as a woman. He adjusted his voice and raised his handkerchief.

Thus, his words sounded particularly odd.

The previously docile dog suddenly bristled, glaring at Shen Yue with bared teeth.

Shen Yue…

He clearly saw the dog fawning over Song Jin earlier, but now it was acting like this towards him!

Was he being discriminated against by a dog?

“This is the dog of those who tried to assassinate me! If it’s here, it will surely lead them to us!”

Shen Yue quickly approached Song Jin and, dropping his disguised voice, spoke softly.

“Kill it immediately with a stick!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the large black dog barked at Shen Yue and then turned to run.

Wan Xi looked heartbroken as she watched the dog leave, grabbing Song Jin’s sleeve.

“Young Master, my dog~”

She then glared at Shen Yue.

It’s all your fault, scaring away my dog!

Shen Yue wanted to call someone to stop the dog, but it ran so fast that it vanished before he could say anything.

He looked somewhat regretful.

Song Jin patted Wan Xi’s shoulder and turned to Shen Yue. “Lord Shen, is there a reason you came here?”

Her expression was not pleasant.

This was her study. Whether the dog stayed or left should be her decision.

Shen Yue, who needed her family’s help, had scared the dog away right in front of her.

Was this something a guest should do?

But before Shen Yue could respond, there was a faint clicking sound from the wall.

The dog that had just left had climbed back over the wall.

Wan Xi’s spirits lifted immediately, and she took two steps to greet the large black dog.

The dog was carrying a small bamboo basket in its mouth, trotting over.

Seeing the dog return, Shen Yue immediately ordered, “Capture it!”

The previously calm courtyard suddenly erupted as four men in black rushed toward the large black dog.

Wan Xi shouted, “Who dares touch my dog!”

But the four men didn’t stop.

“Shen Yue, this is my house. Tell your men to stop!” Song Jin was annoyed and glared at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue acted as if he hadn’t heard.

Song Jin gritted her teeth and started walking toward the dog.

If the dog was to be killed, it should be on her command!

Besides, she didn’t really want to kill it.

Her mind was filled with the dog’s earlier pleading, bright eyes.

However, the dog was agile and managed to dodge the four men. Before Song Jin could take a second step, it skillfully carried the basket through the attackers and reached her.

It wagged its tail at Song Jin and placed the basket on the ground.

Seeing the dog reach Song Jin, the four men in black stopped simultaneously and looked at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue’s eye twitched as he saw what was in the basket, and he waved his hand.

The four men disappeared instantly.

The basket contained six small bows and arrows.

Song Jin recognized them immediately; they were the ones she had taken from the assassins at Phoenix Shadow Tower.

Wan Xi seemed to recognize them too, but before she could shout, Song Jin stopped her with a look.

Shen Yue, with a strange and incredulous expression, squatted down to pick up a small bow, examining it closely.

The large black dog rolled its eyes at Shen Yue and rubbed its head against Song Jin’s leg.

Song Jin petted its head and asked Shen Yue, “Lord Shen, do you recognize these trinkets?”

“Trinkets?”

Shen Yue scoffed.

“These are deadly weapons!”

Every one of the crown prince’s assassins was equipped with one.

He had encountered these arrows many times along the way!

The injury on his shoulder was courtesy of these bows and arrows.

Why did the large black dog bring them here?

An idea flashed through Shen Yue’s mind, and he looked at the dog with astonished eyes.

Could it be that the people who had been tracking him and those lurking near Wang Fugui’s house were all killed by this dog?

Meeting Shen Yue’s gaze, the large black dog gave him a disdainful look: You ungrateful wretch!

Shen Yue…

Somehow, miraculously, he understood the dog’s look!
