Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

“Young Madam!”

“Young Madam!”

“Ruoruo!” Mo Jiangye, who was sitting not far from her, jumped up in great alarm. He grabbed the cup on his desk and sent it flying at the unidentified object.

Unfortunately, that thing was too agile and quick for him. The cup ended up smashing against the wall instead.

By the time Ye Erruo regained her composure, the creature that looked like a red furry ball had already jumped onto her lap.

It had a round head and an equally round tail. It looked like a furry red toy poodle.

Its doe-like eyes glittered and were big and bright. It was so excited about seeing her that it let out yelps of joy in her arms.

Mo Jiangye’s big palm reached and grabbed hold of the animal to hurl it far away.

“Mo Jiangye!” Unconsciously, she pulled his arm back.

The little fellow wriggled in pain as it smacked on the floor.

“What is this thing?” The man was incensed. His fury was fueled further when he saw that the woman was safe. If something happened to her, he would skin this thing alive.

“It’s just a puppy.” Ye Erruo went over and picked up the little furry kid. Its coat was long, smooth, and soft. The little bell tied to its neck made it look absolutely adorable.

She could hardly resist furry balls in the first place, regardless of whether they were small animals or cute teddy bears. Besides, this little doggie had no ill intentions in the first place!

“A dog? Ye Erruo, put it down,” The man strode over to pry the creature away from her.

The little fellow whimpered in her arms, its two little front paws clinging desperately to her clothes.

“Hey! Mo Jiangye, it’s injured.”

“How can a dog’s fur be red? Put it down.” He grabbed her arm but dared not touch the creature in her arms anymore.

“This is a pet dog. Nowadays, many toy dogs have their hair colored. This is normal. Look at how adorable it is. It means no harm.” In fact, the puppy seemed to have taken a liking to her.

As she brought the little fellow close to his face, he stumbled a few steps back. “Throw it away.”

Her big, beautiful eyes widened in wonderment as she took a few more steps forward with the little fellow in her hands. The man retreated from her as she went forward. “You two, take this thing and dump it somewhere far away!”

The maids hastily went up to take the puppy away from her.

“Wait a minute… Mo Jiangye, are you afraid of dogs?”

His face sank. “Throw it away!”

She broke into giggles. “Are you really afraid of dogs?”

When Bo Yu entered the room to serve coffee, he was shocked upon catching sight of the doggie. “Who let this thing in here?” he admonished them.

The two servants dropped to their knees in fear. “S-Sir, we… we picked this up outside the gate.”

“Dump it out immediately!”

“Yes, sir.”

The servants grabbed the little fellow from Ye Erruo’s arms and scrambled out of the room.

The poor little thing looked at the woman with doleful eyes that seemed to sparkle with tears. She was too startled for words. She had heard about dogs crying, but this was the first time she witnessed it in real life!

“Young Master, are you alright?” Bo Yu approached the man with a serious look on his face.

The moment he saw his master’s flaming red hands, he immediately summoned the personal physician.

“What happened to him?” Realizing that something was amiss with her man, she tried to approach him. However, she was stopped by Bo Yu when she was about five meters away.

“Young Madam, please have a shower before you approach him.”

A few minutes later, the normally tough Mo Jiangye spiked a high fever and a fierce red rash broke out all over his body. Soon, the villa turned chaotic as throngs of doctors started coming in and out.

After taking a shower, Ye Erruo asked his personal assistant anxiously, “Bo Yu, tell me. How did he get a fever?”

Troubled, the man looked at her and wondered if he could tell her the truth.
