19 The puppy in yellow rain boots

Chen Hean picked up his phone for the third time at the dinner table.

His slender fingers clicked into the chat box pinned to the top of WeChat. The other party's avatar was a white Pomeranian stepping on water in the rain. The puppy was wearing yellow rain boots, which was particularly eye-catching on a gloomy rainy day. Of course, it was also particularly eye-catching among his contacts who all had business or simple avatars.

Jiang Lai had a conflict with him last night. When she went to bed at night, she covered herself with the quilt and didn't say a word to him. He coaxed her out of the quilt for a long time. With gentle comfort and comfortable caresses, Jiang Lai's mood finally eased.

But it was only relieved, so the bulge under his crotch certainly wouldn't be relieved. Fortunately, he has always been a restrained person. Unless Jiang Lai makes him angry, he will never force her to do something she doesn't like.

Chen Hean doesn't think it's troublesome to coax Jiang Lai, because she is also cute when she is angry. She would pout her lips high, as if she was afraid that others would not notice that she was angry, and her eyes would look a little aggrieved and resentful, which made his heart soften.

Shen Hean sometimes even enjoyed the process of coaxing Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai was soft, soft everywhere, and would become a little hedgehog when she was angry, but after he coaxed her for a while, the little hedgehog would put away her thorns and become soft again. When he hugged her, he could feel the softness all over his hands.

This morning, Jiang Lai was obviously in a bad mood, so he coaxed her for a while and promised to bring her a delicious little cake when he went home tonight. Only then did she reluctantly relax her tightly pursed lips and kissed him lightly on the face.

Well, the little hedgehog's lips are also soft.

When thinking of Jiang Lai, Shen Hean's expression would become soft.

The man across the table looked at Shen Hean who was looking at his phone with a strange expression, and suddenly asked: "Are you still with that girl?" Shen

Hean hadn't responded yet, but his mother, who was sitting next to him, was alarmed. She reacted violently and changed the subject to refute Shen Hean:

"Hean is just playing around, and can be kicked out at any time. But Hean should really break up this messy relationship. He is already in his thirties, and it's time to start a family. I introduced Hean to the daughter of the Gu family last time, and they had a good chat." "

Really?" Shen's father frowned suspiciously, but he didn't look happy to hear the woman's explanation.

Shen's mother was a little nervous, and used her eyes to signal Shen Hean to speak.

Shen He'an took a sip of the soup with an indifferent expression, and then said, "I will not marry into an alliance with others, and there is no need to marry into an alliance with others."

Shen's mother threw down her chopsticks and angrily shouted at Shen He'an, "What are you talking about! He'an, how can you talk like that? Marriage will only benefit our Shen family and not harm it. Why are you so ignorant?" Shen He'an

put down the spoon quietly, without any expression changing on his face, which made the furious Shen's mother look like a complete lunatic.

He swept his calm eyes over his hysterical mother, and then over his father with a complicated expression, and finally announced in a light tone: "I decide my marriage myself, don't put anyone around me anymore. Also, I love my girlfriend very much, please respect me."

Shen's mother was so angry that her face turned red, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. Instead, Shen's father finally said something to smooth things over: "Okay, don't say anything more, a good dinner has been ruined like this."

He looked at Shen Hean, hesitated for a second and said: "You can also be independent, and marriage is indeed your own decision. You... treat that girl well." Shen

Hean looked up at him, his eyes were deep and calm, as if he had seen through something, but just didn't say it out loud.

Shen's father was inexplicably a little flustered by his son's eyes, and it happened that Shen's mother was about to have another outburst. He turned the panic in his heart into anger, slammed the table and said angrily: "Okay! Stop talking! Eat!"

Of course, no one enjoyed this meal.

Chen Hean seemed to have a good appetite and ate a lot, but in fact his stomach was aching. In the past, he only regarded eating as a physiological need, but since eating with Jiang Lai, he realized that eating could be such a pleasant thing.

Everything in front of him became boring, and Chen Hean suddenly didn't want to stay here.

He put down his chopsticks and said a goodbye excuse in a light tone: "I have something to do at the company, I'm leaving first."

"What's the hurry?" Chen's mother was holding her breath, and now she found a chance to vent: "How long have you not been home for dinner? Don't you even have time to have a meal with your father?"

Her words were deliberately leading the topic to the relationship between father and son.

Chen Hean's expression became even lighter. He picked up his suit jacket and nodded to them politely: "I'm leaving first."

This was a notification rather than a discussion. Chen Hean walked out slowly without waiting for his father's answer. The door closed behind him, but Chen Hean's tense jaw did not relax at all.

It was not until the moment he got in the car that he curled the corners of his lips in sarcasm.

What a nice thing to say, and he was asked to be nice to the girl. Was it necessary for him to specifically remind her? He was nice to Jiang Lai because Jiang Lai was Jiang Lai, not someone else.

Unlike his father, he loved her but didn't love her completely, and everything seemed hypocritical.

Shen Hean felt that everyone in the Shen family pretended to be disgusting, even himself, who always looked calm and planned all day long.

He suddenly wanted to see Jiang Lai urgently, to see this baby who had all his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness written on his face, who was full of life and extremely cute when he was coquettish or angry.

The car drove smoothly to the destination he had told the driver about long ago, which was the dessert shop that Jiang Lai liked to eat the most. The dessert shop was an Internet celebrity shop, which was over-marketed on major platforms. There were usually many people queuing up. After the shop became popular, it was even more small-scale and big-name, requiring people to take numbers on the spot, and after taking the numbers, they must stay on the spot to queue up for the cake, otherwise they would have to queue up again after their numbers were exceeded.

Today is the weekend, and there are more people than on weekdays. Before the car arrived, Shen He'an had already seen a large crowd in front of him. He asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road, and then he got off the car and lined up at the end of the line.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening. The cake shop only opened at five in the afternoon and was open until ten in the evening, but sometimes it would close early if the cakes were sold out.

The man who could keep a calm face even if the sky fell in front of him in the past was a little anxious at this moment. Shen He'an frequently looked at the head of the line, feeling a little anxious, because he was worried that Jiang Lai's favorite chocolate Basque would be sold out. He

was also worried that Jiang Lai would be unhappy if she waited too long at home.

She hadn't sent him a message since he left today. He sent a message to ask her if she had eaten, but she didn't reply. When he turned on the surveillance at home, he saw that a guy who made him worry ordered takeout. As soon as he saw the packaging, he knew it was Cao's duck neck that he had expressly prohibited.

Shen Hean was sitting on the sofa in Shen's house at that time. The TV in front of him was on and making a noisy sound, but no one was watching. His mother asked him some questions in a roundabout way, trying to reconcile the so-called father-son relationship. His father was indeed watching the TV, but he probably didn't pay attention to the content on the TV.

And he certainly wasn't watching it either, because he turned on the surveillance camera at home and saw a small ball curled up on the sofa, chewing duck neck while watching TV, looking very comfortable.

Chen Hean wanted to turn on the surveillance speaker to ask Jiang Lai to stop eating, but there were people all around. He could only settle for the next best thing and open the chat box of the yellow rain boots puppy and send a message to Jiang Lai, asking her to eat less.

Because he knew that she would not stop eating if he asked her not to.

After a few seconds, Jiang Lai looked down at her phone, then raised her head and raised her middle finger to the surveillance camera.

Chen Hean's temples jumped suddenly. He was about to talk to Jiang Lai when the aunt had already brought the dishes to the table and said that it was time to eat.

While waiting for the cake, Chen Hean felt a little itchy, so he turned on the camera in the living room again. Jiang Lai was no longer in the living room. He guessed that she had returned to her room, so he turned on the camera in the room again, but still didn't see anyone.

That probably meant she went to take a shower, and it was time for Jiang Lai to take a shower.

Chen Hean originally wanted to take a photo of himself queuing in front of the cake shop for Jiang Lai, but after taking the photo, he felt that doing so might seem like he was asking for credit, so he didn't send the photo in the end. He only sent a message saying that he was going home soon and was buying her a small cake.

Jiang Lai didn't reply to him.

When Chen Hean went home with the cake that smelled of chocolate, was sweet and made him feel happy, he found that Jiang Lai was not at home at all.
