“I don’t know whether this place welcomes me,” Ye Jiaqi said as she attempted to compromise.

But Qiao Sinian brought her back to pack her things. Not invite her to dinner.

“Of course, we welcome you.” Aunt Lu said happily. However, as soon as she finished saying it, she looked at Qiao Sinian for confirmation and asked, “We welcome her right… Master Qiao?”

Qiao Sinian grunted lightly and didn’t speak.

He walked towards the Alaskan husky and bent over slightly to pat his head.

“Today is Riceball’s birthday. Riceball has the last word.”

After that, Qiao Sinian let go and strode towards the living room.

She watched Qiao Sinian’s proud and confident figure from behind before she turned to glare at Riceball.

Riceball has the last word?!

From the moment the dog appeared, he had no intention to let her go!

As soon as his owner left, Riceball became extremely happy. Once again, he started circling Ye Jiaqi’s legs.

“Stupid dog!”

Ye Jiaqi swatted his head lightly.

The Alaskan husky didn’t become upset. He only started to rub against Ye Jiaqi’s legs again.

As it was summer, Ye Jiaqi’s dress only reached her knees. Her lower legs became ticklish from all the rubbing.

“Perverted dog!”

Ye Jiaqi pursed her lips before swatting him again.

Riceball seemed to really like this nickname. He began to jump up and down playfully.

With no other option, Ye Jiaqi had to obediently follow the dog into the house.

Aunt Lu was very happy. The Qiao Residence which had been deserted for three years was finally going to be lively again.

Nothing had changed here.

Ye Jiaqi walked along the familiar path, across the promenade and up flight of steps.

In the courtyard, the swing she played on as a child was still there. Everything was familiar to her.

The trees, the path, and the pavilion…

Only, towards some people, she felt as though there was a great sense of distance and unfamiliarity formed.

The stupid Alaskan followed Ye Jiaqi’s every step. When she took a step, he took a step.

When she stopped, he stopped.

Qiao Sinian had already reached the living room by the time she got there. As soon as Riceball saw him, he ran over.

Ye Jiaqi stood at the doorway, far away from Master Qiao and looked at him.

“Do you want me to carry you in?”

Qiao Sinian hadn’t looked up as he continued to pat Riceball’s head.

“No,” Ye Jiaqi declined.

She took a few steps forward and walked towards the sofa.

Aunt Lu followed in but didn’t dare to say much. She bowed a little before saying “Master Qiao, I’ll go to the kitchen first.”

“Wait.”

Qiao Sinian called out to her and guided Riceball out.

As soon as he went out, he handed Riceball to Aunt Lu.

“You did a good job today. Give him some extra meat today.” Qiao Sinian said as he patted Riceball’s head.

Riceball stuck out his tongue as though he understood Qiao Sinian’s praise. He happily rubbed against Qiao Sinian’s legs.

However, in the very next second, Qiao Sinian bent over and warned him coldly.

“If you dare to lift Qi Qi’s dress in the future, I’ll kill you.”

Riceball’s expression became empty.

He hadn’t even lifted the dress…

“Okay, okay, I’ll take Riceball to the kitchen now,” Aunt Lu said cheerfully.

“You can go to Housekeeper Tang for the reward.”

“Thank you, Master Qiao, but I sincerely wish that little lady will stay,” Aunt Lu replied.

Master Qiao said nothing as he let go and walked back.

Aunt Lu thought the sun was no longer that dazzling and scorching.

The weather was particularly good today, and the sky was especially blue.

She didn’t know why Master Qiao and little lady had argued. Master Qiao had only told her if she couldn’t get Ye Jiaqi to stay today, he would fire her.

Thank goodness Riceball had cooperated with her.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to have her stay.

Based on the little lady’s attitude today, it seemed as though she was incredibly unwilling to stay today.

Riceball licked Aunt Lu’s hand and looked at her pitifully. He had acted so long that he was hungry…

Getting some additional meat in his meal was difficult…
