He opened his mouth wanting to speak but Zhen Tian preemptively said, “Senior, don’t listen to her nonsense. She drank too much hahaha!”
Seeing as she is not admitting it, Zhu Ling continues to tease her, “How am I drunk? I am completely sober.”
“If I say you’re drunk then you are drunk!” Zhen Tian stubbornly retorted.
Zhu Ling picked up the glass and took a sip, “Fine, I can’t afford to offend you.”
Chen Zui’s sight fell on Zhen Tian who started to panic. Zhen Tian, you have to be calm at this time! She tried her best to look calm and mustered up the courage to look back at Chen Zui. At this moment, the phone in her pocket rang.
No matter who it is, the person calling her right now is regarded as her relative.
“I’m going to take a call!” Zhen Tian quickly took out her phone and the words “Ms. Wang Shuzhen was displayed on the screen.”
It really is her relative.
“Mom, what is it?”
Zhen Tian seemed very suspicious. If it was another time, Ms. Wang Shuzhen would have been suspicious but at this time, she has more pressing matters to talk about, thus, she did not notice Zhen Tian’s abnormality, “Your Aunt Liao’s Ah Jin has committed a crime!”
“Ah? What crime?” Zhen Tian asked in surprise.
“He got Honghong pregnant and gave birth to his son!”
“Oh!” Zhen Tian sadly replied, “Ah Jin usually seemed so honest but he actually did such a thing! When did he hook up with Honghong!”
“Aunt Liao doesn’t know either. Anyway, since he already has a son, she can only agree to it right?”
Deng Liyang, with his unique sensitivity to news, looked at Zhen Tian curiously, “What’s the matter? Who is Ah Jin?”
Zhen Tian took her time to reply, “He is one of my mom’s old friend’s dogs.”
Deng Liyang, “....”
Okay.
Chen Zui lowered his eyes and chuckled. Ms. Wang Shuzhen yelled at Zhen Tian from the other side of the phone, “I heard you, Zhen Tian! You get rid of the word ‘old! ’Also, why are there men over there?”
“...I’m at my bar. Of course, there are male customers.”
“Heh, these men don’t go home after work all day and only know to go drinking.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen jeered and finally went back to the topic at hand, “Honghong gave birth to three puppies. Your Aunt Liao is going to give us one. If you have no objections, I will bring him home.”
Zhen Xi’s muffled voice could be heard from the other end, “Didn’t you already bring him home?”
“Awooo.”
"..." Zhen Tian was silent for a moment when she heard the weak cry.
“Since it’s already decided, I’m going to hang up.”
“En.” Zhen Tian put her phone away. After her mother’s interruption, the incident earlier was long forgotten. Chen Zui did not mention it again and changed the subject, “Your mother is going to raise a dog?”
“En, she already brought him home.” Zhen Tian smiled at him, “You should know, my mom really likes you. She watched your show every morning.”
A flash of surprise passed Chen Zui’s eyes. Zhen Tian’s mother actually watches his show? He was silent for a moment before he smiled, “Then I should work more seriously every day.”
Deng Liyang sneered at the side but Chen Zui ignored him. He continued to look at Zhen Tian, "We have reunited for so long. It seems that every time we meet it is in your bar. When are you free, let's go out for a meal. "
Meal? Zhen Tian was ecstatic. She had long thought about asking Chen Zui out for dinner but was afraid it would affect his rest from his busy work. She was already content with just seeing him in her store. At this moment, Chen Zui offered to have a meal together, of course, Zhen Tian had to grab onto the chance, "Okay, when will you be free?"
Chen Zui asked, "When are you free?"
“Any time will be fine. I am the boss.”
Chen Zui chuckled, “Then let’s go on the day after tomorrow at noon.” Tomorrow is Sunday so he has to keep Chen Yiran company.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
“I’m fine with anything. Since I am the one inviting you, you should decide.”
Zhen Tian thought and asked, “Do you like Lily’s Barbeque at Starlight Department?”
Chen Zui smiled. Her taste is very compatible with Chen Yiran, “Yes.”
“Then it’s settled. I’ll see you at the Starlight Department in two days.” Remembering that Chen Zui has work in the morning, Zhen Tian took the initiative to say, “I’ll go early to grab a seat. You can come directly after work.”
There shouldn’t be too many people on Monday but it’s better to grab a seat early.
“You two are making plans in front of me? You’re not going to invite me?”
Deng Liyang’s voice interrupted Zhen Tian’s thoughts. Right, Brother Deng is still here. Chen Zui gave Deng Liyang a blank stare, “You have to broadcast the noon news so we won’t interrupt your work.”
“....” Hehe, men.
“Then I will see you then.” Chen Zui stood up and pulled Deng Liyang up with him. Deng Liyang, however, still doesn’t want to leave. He followed Chen Zui in standing up and clasped his shoulders, “It’s still early. Let’s go to a nightclub.”
“ABA..”
Zhu Ling let out a laugh, “Two ABA news anchors going to a club dressed like this. People would think you are the police.”
Zhen Tian was amused by Zhu Ling's words and laughed, "Senior, you should go home Brother Deng drank a lot."
"Well, I'll drive him back." Chen Zui pulled Deng Liyang by the arm and took him away without any explanation. After they walked away, Zhu Ling smiled and looked at Zhen Tianm "I didn't expect Boss Zhen to have very good taste in school. This senior is really good-looking."
“Of course. I don’t need you to tell me that, hmph.” Zhen Tian smiled with a triumphant look on her face.
“Look how proud you are. Why didn’t you admit it in front of your senior earlier?”
Zhen Tian curled her lips. She doesn’t dare to reveal her feelings for Chen Zui easily. What if she gets rejected? If that happens, they can’t see each other again! Currently, their relationship is that of senior and junior. They can still go out for a meal.
Zhu Ling has known Zhen Tian for more than a year. As a young woman, Zhen Tian runs a bar by herself and deals with so many customers every day. In Zhu Ling’s eyes, Zhen Tian has a straightforward personality, but when it comes to love, she can be cautious.
“Ah, love really is a wretched thing.” Zhu Ling exclaimed.
Zhen Tian only thought she was talking about the situation between her and her handsome client and didn't think much about it. Zhu Ling finished the beer and added, "Love, it's also damn tempting."
Zhen Tian, “....”
When Zhen Tian went home at night, the house was as quiet as usual. She tiptoed upstairs, and suddenly a voice came from under her feet, "Awoo!"
Zhen Tian jumped and quickly moved her foot back. There was a little puppy lying on the floor, watching her with teary eyes.
Zhen Tian then remembered that Ms. Wang Shuzhen brought a puppy back. She squatted down and looked at the little puppy, “Ahh, did I step on you? Let me blow on it.”
"Woof." The little milkily called out to her.
“So cute.” Zhen Tian picked him up and looked around the room, “Little cutie, why are you sleeping here?”
There is a bed for the puppy in the room. Zhen Tian put him back and touched his head, “Does little cutie miss your mommy? Ms. Wang Shuzhen is inhumane. She brought you here before you are old enough.”
“Woof.”
"Be good, I will take you to find your mommy tomorrow so go to bed early." Zhen Tian rubbed her head again. Aunt Liao lives in the same community as them. Ms. Wang Shuzhen can take the little puppy to see his mom whenever he wants.
The puppy barked again. He seemed to be tired and really fell asleep. Zhen Tian yawned and went upstairs to take a bath and sleep.
The next morning, she felt something stepped on her chest. She woke up with a yelp.
"Woof!" The little puppy stood on Zhen Tian's bed, looking at her with wide eyes.
“Pudding, did you wake up your sister?” Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s voice came from downstairs. The little puppy seemed to understand what she said and let out a bark.
Zhen Tian was speechless. She can naturally wake up at this time every day. There is no need for the puppy to wake her up!
“Your name’s Pudding?” She brought the puppy over and teased him a little before taking a picture with her phone. After she finished editing it, she posted it on her WeChat Moments which she hasn’t updated in a while.
Sweetest of the Village: Ms. Wang Shuzhen brought back a little puppy. I accidentally stepped on him yesterday so he retaliated by stepping on my chest this morning. [goodbye]
After her post was uploaded, she set her phone aside and didn’t bother with it. After she sat downstairs drinking milk, she opened her WeChat again to take a look.
Chen Zui liked her post.
Zhen Tian blushed. Gosh, she forgot Chen Zui could see it too! How could she say chest in front of her senior!
Not only did Chen Zui like it, but he also left a comment, “The puppy is cute and so are you.”
Zhen Tian stared at this comment for a while minute and felt that she was going crazy.
“Ahhh!” Senior said she is cute! Senior said she is cute even though she hasn’t washed her face or brushed her teeth! Why is her senior so gentle!
“Zhen Tian, what are you so excited about!” Ms. Wang Shuzhen hurried over and looked at her in disgust, “Why are you shouting out of nowhere? Do you want to scare me to death?”
“Ahhh, Mom! You’re so pretty today!”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen, “...” She was reluctant to scold her.
After Zhen Tian calmed down, she sat back and swiped through her phone. Ms. Wang Shuzhen stepped aside and sent a message on her phone, “Old Zhen, I think your daughter is acting strange these days.”
Old Zhen: What is it?
Wife: It’s just her brain doesn’t seem normal. Do you think it is because she has been staying up all night?
Old Zhen: ...
Old Zhen: Didn’t she just get a check-up? She should be fine.
Wife: Then she must be dating.
Old Zhen: ???
Old Zhen: Let’s go get her head checked.
