2734 Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (5)

Because he was really a good man, she didn't want him to continue wasting time on her.

As Mu Yunli watched the van leave, Qiao Ruoxi's clear little face appeared in his mind.

'Qiao Ruoxi, Wen Chenxi…'

'Both of them have eyes that are so clear and pure like a flawless gem.'

'If my Little Xi is still alive, she should be about the same age as Qiao Ruoxi.'

Perhaps Qiao Ruoxi's appearance was fate's arrangement, to replace Wen Chenxi to fill the void in his heart.

The driver of the Mu family van ferried Qiao Ruoxi and Princess safely to the Ocean Pavilion and left.

Qiao Ruoxi called Auntie Jiang for help and asked Auntie Jiang to arrange for someone to help Princess settle down into the new kennel.

But when the snow mastiff came to an unfamiliar place, it was very resistant and kept barking at them. As a result, no one dared to approach it.

"Let me do it!"

Qiao Ruoxi had no choice but to do it herself.

Auntie Jiang stopped her in time and said worriedly, "Young Madam, you can't go. What if it hurts you?"

"It's okay. I'll be careful."

Qiao Ruoxi ignored her advice and went closer to the cage. Instead of opening the door, she squatted down to talk to Princess.

"Stop barking, Princess, and don't be afraid. I've brought you here. Look, that place is your new home. You can live with me from now on. I won't leave you behind anymore. Can you listen to me?"

Perhaps it was Qiao Ruoxi's gentle words that eased the tension in Princess's heart, or maybe it was because it had always been humane.

After listening to Qiao Ruoxi's words, it stopped barking. Instead, it quietened down and came over, sniffing at her through the cage.

Qiao Ruoxi reached out a hand. After smelling her scent and confirming that it was the master it was familiar with, it began wagging its tail happily.

Auntie Jiang was surprised. She said to the people around her, "Look, that dog is very humane and listens to Young Madam."

Everyone nodded.

Qiao Ruoxi then said, "Princess, let's go to your new home now, okay? I'm going to open the cage for you. After you come out, you can't bark or bite anyone, understand?"

Princess tilted its head and looked at her without any special reaction.

Qiao Ruoxi tried to open the lock on the cage. She pulled open the door, took the chain around Princes's neck, and pulled it out.

After coming out of the cage, Princesss stood on the ground and shook its body. Immediately, its white fur fluffed up, making it look even taller and stronger. It was as huge as a lion.

The servants were so scared that they hid away. Auntie Jiang also retreated quite a bit. Qiao Ruoxi tugged at the chain and shouted, "Princess, be good! Come here!"

Princess obeyed and followed her lead into the new doghouse.

The doghouse was luxurious and comfortable. There was no sign of anxiety within Princess after it moved in. Qiao Ruoxi was relieved.

She would be able to see Princess every day in the future. She thought that once Princess starts getting to know this place better, it would definitely like being here.

After settling Princess down, Qiao Ruoxi went into the villa and learned from Auntie Jiang that Feng Yunan was not back yet.

"Young Madam, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask the cooks to prepare," Auntie Jiang asked.

Qiao Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Don't bother. I'll make dinner myself."

"Huh? That's not appropriate! Your situation is special…"

Before Auntie Jiang could finish her words, Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "No problem. I want to make a few dishes myself. Maybe your young master will come back tonight."

When Auntie Jiang heard this, she thought, 'Oh, that's great. Young Madam is taking the initiative to cook and wait for Young Master to come back for dinner. Does this mean that the two of them have reconciled?'

"Okay. If you need any help, let me know," Auntie Jiang said happily.

"Okay."

Qiao Ruoxi changed her shoes and went into the house. She put down her bag and immediately went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

She made two meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes. She made some soup and placed it on the table. She was afraid that it would get cold, so she covered the plate with a glass cover.

After that, she went upstairs and changed into her home clothes. Then she sat in the dining room and waited for Feng Yunan to come back.

There were three main reasons why she cooked for him today. The first was to thank Feng Yunan for handling the theft case impartially.

Secondly, she wanted to thank him for building the doghouse for her.

Thirdly, she wanted to ask if she could participate in the jewelry design competition.

She wanted to sign up directly at first but she was afraid that Feng Yunan would not approve of her participating in the competition.

That man was so controlling. There were many things that she could not decide for herself.

…

In Fengtian Group's president's office, Xiu Yi looked at the time and asked, "Are you going back to the Ocean Pavilion tonight?"

Feng Yunan, who was writing furiously, immediately slammed his pen on the table. He frowned and glared at him. "Return what? Do you have a brain?"

Xiu Yi was speechless.

Feng Yunan was getting more and more irritated by him. What should he do?

He really could not read Feng Yunan's mind at all these days.

He checked the surveillance cameras in the day and went down to the store to find out the truth. He wanted justice for Qiao Ruoxi and promoted her to be the store manager. Shouldn't he go home to see his wife right after work?

Xiu Yi could tell that the look in Feng Yunan's eyes meant that he would not return to the Ocean Pavilion. Thus, he decided to keep quiet and not ask any more questions.

Feng Yunan picked up a pen and wrote something down. He was not satisfied and crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

He continued to write, crush the pieces of paper into balls, and tossed them into the bin until it was full. Finally, he threw his pen down and leaned back on the leather seat, tugging his tie in frustration.

He was really frustrated.

'I've done so much for her. Doesn't she know to thank me at all?'

'There isn't a single call or message from her. Is her heart made of stone?'

'How heartless and cruel!'

It wasn't that Feng Yunan didn't want to go back to the Ocean Pavilion. He wanted to go back, but he was too prideful to do so.

After the fight last night, he had smashed everything in the house. It was so heated at that time. If he were to go back out of his own accord, wouldn't that woman be even more arrogant in the future?

He had to wait until Qiao Ruoxi contacted him first.

Yes, just like that.

…

As time passed, Qiao Ruoxi looked at the quartz clock on the wall and sighed.

'Is he not coming home tonight?'

Auntie Jiang came over and saw that she had been waiting. She asked, "Young Madam, should we call Young Master and ask him where he is?"

Qiao Ruoxi shook her head. "Nah. If he wants to come home, he will definitely do so. If he doesn't want to, it'd be pointless even if you call him 10,000 times."

"In that case, would you like to eat first? The food has already been warmed up. It will get cold again soon."

"It's okay," Qiao Ruoxi said with a smile. "Auntie Jiang, you should go get some rest. I'll wait for a little longer."

Auntie Jiang could not say anything more. Actually, she wanted to secretly call Feng Yunan but she did not dare to.

After the fight that day, Feng Yunan had ordered them not to mention anything related to Qiao Ruoxi and even warned that anyone who mentioned it would be in trouble.
