Chapter 262: Chapter 263: The Dog is Wary of Strangers

"Is that all you’ve got?" Miss Qiu cut Li Yang off before he could even finish.

Li Yang froze. ’This woman acts just like she looks,’ he thought. ’Definitely not someone to mess with.’

"What else did you want?" Li Yang said irritably. "You think everyone’s like you? It’s not like I owe you money."

"You!" Miss Qiu was furious.

Xiaotao’s heart skipped a beat. ’It’s all my fault for not explaining things clearly,’ she thought. ’And now they’re about to start a huge fight.’

"Um... why don’t we just look at the dog?"

"Forget it!" Pissed off by Li Yang, Miss Qiu started to pull her teddy away.

As for the teddy, it was unclear who it was barking at, but it just kept yapping nonstop.

"Shut it," Li Yang scolded the teddy.

The teddy immediately fell silent.

Miss Qiu, who was just about to pick up the teddy, froze, not quite processing what had just happened.

"Come on, roll over," Li Yang said to the teddy.

The teddy immediately rolled over on the ground.

"Spin three times," Li Yang commanded again.

The teddy was perfectly obedient, spinning exactly three times—no more, no less.

Miss Qiu was dumbfounded.

It wasn’t just her; even Xiaotao couldn’t believe it.

’Sure, cats and dogs can be trained to understand a lot of human commands, but this was their very first meeting! How could this little teddy be so obedient?’

"Dance..." Li Yang said to the little teddy.

The little teddy immediately began to obediently wiggle around.

"Copper Coin..." Miss Qiu called out to the little teddy.

But the little teddy couldn’t be bothered with her, continuing to wiggle to Li Yang’s command.

"How did you do that?" Miss Qiu asked eagerly, the icy expression on her face completely gone. "He just won’t warm up to me, and I don’t know why. How did you do it?"

Li Yang chuckled, uninterested in responding.

Miss Qiu felt a bit awkward. Realizing he was probably still angry, she said, "My attitude earlier was poor. Please don’t take it to heart. I’m asking you, how did you do it?"

Li Yang finally glanced at her. ’Didn’t I already tell her?’

Miss Qiu grew even more embarrassed.

’So he hadn’t been spouting nonsense earlier.’

’This...’

Xiaotao was secretly delighted. ’Every time a customer’s pet acts up, they complain and blame us, sometimes even asking if we know what we’re doing.’

Xiaotao could only endure it.

’Who would’ve thought I’d get to see a scene like this today? I never saw this coming.’

"Alright..." Having let out his frustration, Li Yang said to Miss Qiu, "Your teddy isn’t familiar with its surroundings, and it doesn’t quite trust you yet. There hasn’t been a transition period. Things would be much better if there was one."

"What kind of transition period?" Miss Qiu asked anxiously.

"It’s simple..." Li Yang shook his head. "Just have someone it’s familiar with stay with it at your house for a while. Once it gets comfortable with the environment, you’ll be fine."

"Oh, I see..." Miss Qiu understood, but she looked troubled. "But I bought this puppy online; they shipped him to me. It would be one thing if a friend gave him to me, but how can I ask the seller to come over and help?"

Li Yang spread his hands. "Then there’s nothing I can do."

"Wait..." Just as Miss Qiu was feeling disappointed, her eyes lit up. "You seem to be very familiar with him, right? Why don’t you do me a favor and stay with him at my house for a while?"

This time, it was Li Yang’s turn to be truly stunned.

"Miss Qiu, I... I’d have to get paid for that."

Xiaotao couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Miss Qiu said calmly, "How much? I’ll pay it."

"Fine!" Li Yang sighed. ’Being rich really solves everything, doesn’t it...’

"Let’s go back now." Miss Qiu seemed to genuinely care for the little teddy. "I want Copper Coin to have a good life in my home."

"Alright, alright, alright," Li Yang said. "Then let’s cut the chatter. Let’s go!"

After saying goodbye to Xiaotao, Li Yang followed Miss Qiu through the gate of her residential community.

Once inside, he saw that the place was indeed very nice and well-planned.

After entering, they arrived at Miss Qiu’s home. When she opened the door, he saw it was a three-bedroom apartment.

The decor was nice, very understated and elegant.

"How do I get him to warm up to me?" Miss Qiu asked.

"Just play with him," Li Yang said. "He might be willing to play with you since I’m here. All you have to do is get him to accept you, and you’ll be set."

Miss Qiu said, "Oh," and with a sweet smile, she cooed to Copper Coin, "Copper Coin, I’m going to be your mommy from now on, okay?"

Copper Coin looked at Li Yang, then back at Miss Qiu, and seemed to be whimpering something.

Miss Qiu was completely lost.

Li Yang, on the other hand, was a bit embarrassed.

’You little mutt,’ he thought, ’if she wants to be your mom, that’s her business. But I’m not your dad! I don’t have a dog for a son.’

’But still...’

He glanced over at Miss Qiu. ’She really is beautiful,’ he thought, ’and she has a killer figure. Wouldn’t be so bad to end up in bed with her...’

Just then, Miss Qiu’s phone started ringing.
