Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

Chapter 183: It Is Either Me Or The Dog

“Red Bean…” By cooing softly at the canine, the servant tried to lure the dog away with a bone and a piece of aromatic, tantalizing meat.

Unfortunately, the creature was not enticed by the bone and the meat dangling before it.

When the man saw it wag its ugly tail across the woman’s cheek, he was so incensed that veins could be seen visibly popping up on his temples.

“Get me the gun,” he ordered angrily.

The servant was taken aback. Gun?

Another servant guessed his intention almost immediately and quickly went to fetch a tranquilizer gun equipped with a silencer.

The man took the gun and aimed at the dog, his eyes shooting daggers at the same time. He would make minced meat out of this dog tonight.

Woosh!

The doggie let out a loud yelp in pain.

The maid was standing beside the dog, so her face turned white as a sheet and she unconsciously turned to look at her master with a start.

Luckily, another servant was quick-witted and nimble enough to pull a blanket next to her to cover the dog.

“Throw it out! Pluck off its fur, skin it, and pound the flesh into minced meat,” he instructed them through gritted teeth.

“Understood.”

The dog’s distressed call, however, was loud enough to wake anyone who was sleeping deeply.

Wrapped inside the blanket, the creature struggled painfully for a while before it lost consciousness.

Right at that moment, Ye Erruo opened her eyes groggily to see the man with a gun in his hand standing by the bed, surrounded by dozens of servants.

“Y-Young… M-Madam…” The servant who was carrying Red Bean in her arms freaked out when she saw her mistress waking from her slumber.

“Mo Jiangye, what are you doing?”

“Get out!”

“Yes, sir.”

The servants hurriedly retreated with the dog in tow.

“Wait a minute.” She had caught sight of Red Bean in the servant’s arms.

“Get lost now!” His eyes glinted ominously.

All the servants dispersed out of the room in a second.

Frowning, she turned to the man and said, “Mo Jiangye, it’s very late. What are you doing instead of sleeping?”

“Ahhh!” He hurled her out of the bed. In the bathroom, as he used a wet towel to wipe her cheeks, he carefully examined her at the same time.

“Hurts…” She pushed away his hand along with the towel.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

His eyes were still fixed on her cheeks as she pursed her flaming-red lips in displeasure.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Go to sleep.” Upon saying that, he pulled her into his embrace and gently stroked her long hair.

“Just now, I saw Red…”

“Nothing’s going on. Go to sleep now.” Straightening his back, he picked her up in his arms and switched off all the lights in the room.

While he held her in his arms, he headed straight for the sofa to sleep.

Her lips twitched. She knew without being told that Red Bean had come into the room earlier and gotten into their bed.

While he sat on the sofa, he took a new set of quilts and wrapped it tightly around her before cuddling her to sleep.

“Was Red Bean here just now?” she asked with a faint smile while she hugged his waist and her legs entangled with his.

“Nope, you must have seen something else.” He caressed her silky, long hair from time to time.

“I saw it.”

His face sank. “You have to throw the dog out tomorrow.”

“Red Bean is adorable! Can I keep it at the front…”

“No way!” He cut her off without a second thought. “You can only have me or that ugly dog. It’s either me or the dog.” In his opinion, that creature’s presence would hinder him from getting intimate with her every day. Besides, he had no idea where it had come from, and the fact that the doggie had gotten close to his woman the moment it had seen her was already a big problem for him!

Her lips twitched slightly again. She had been rendered speechless. Fog clouded her mind as she pondered. Is he trying to compete with a dog now?

“Who do you want?” he asked hoarsely.
