The Aloof Little Puppy Is Super Obedient - Chapter 16

As expected, at such a late hour, only parents are willing to wait for him.

The couple, who were originally feeling a bit drowsy, felt a twinge of heartache as they watched Chu Jingtian walk back in.

“Why are you working overtime so late, child? You made your parents so nervous.” The couple breathed a true sigh of relief seeing Chu Jingtian return at this time.

Previously, whenever Chu Jingtian went out, the couple felt extremely anxious every single night. Seeing him walk back now, their hearts finally settled.

“Child, you must understand this now: never work overtime so late in the future. Although you are working now and your parents support your career, you must pay attention to your health.”

While the couple supported Chu Jingtian’s career, they still expressed their concern for him. Hearing his parents’ care, Chu Jingtian had a smile on his face and quickly rushed toward them. As he hugged his mother, he felt as if he had completed a monumental task, and tears of grievance welled up in his eyes.

Sometimes, the bitterness of the past still felt heavy for Chu Jingtian. Seeing his parents waiting for him upon his return home made his heart feel very content. The trace of bitterness he once faced had long since vanished. For him, this moment was pure happiness.

He would no longer wait for Zhou Nian to come home. He used to wait constantly for Zhou Nian just to feel a sense of “home,” but he realized now that a true sense of home comes from real family. He wouldn’t make the same foolish mistakes again, giving up so much for that relationship. His family treated him so well, yet he had been willing to abandon them for that love.

Thinking of those ridiculous past events, Chu Jingtian flashed a bitter smile. After chatting with the couple for a while longer, he went straight upstairs.

Zhao Qingya watched Chu Jingtian go upstairs and looked at her husband standing beside her with a bit of distress. “Do you think the child will leave us again like last time now that he is back?”

At this moment, Zhao Qingya could no longer hold back her grievance and quickly leaned into her husband’s arms. Having watched her child leave them for so many years, how could she not feel distressed? Watching her child marry someone they loved, only to have that person not love them back—as parents, how could they not be anxious? Seeing the child return now, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer tense because of those messy complications.

The husband, seeing Zhao Qingya so nervous, quickly soothed her emotions. “Alright, you really are something. You were indecisive when the child was here, and you are still like this when the child is not. We need to stabilize our emotions now and be excellent parents. Our child marrying that person before was due to our insufficient education. If we had taught better, the child would not have married someone like that.”

Indeed, if they had not been so focused on work and had spent more time accompanying the child, how could the child have married such a person? As the couple spoke, they felt a sense of self-reproach. Slowly, they returned to their room and began to weep.

Back in his room, Chu Jingtian closed the door. Looking at the room’s layout, the corners of his lips slowly curled up. Every time he returned to this room, he could always think of the happiness he once had here. In the past, happiness was very simple.

Facing all of this now, he did not know how to speak of it. He could only slowly stabilize his emotions, not wanting to overthink those messy matters. Chu Jingtian quickly went to the bed, opened his laptop, and continued with his work. Although he was back home, work was still the most important thing.

Not long after he started working, his phone rang. Hearing the ringtone, he frowned and answered the phone. Zhang Yang’s voice came directly from the other end.

“You brat, why are you still busy with work? Didn’t I tell you? Stop working. Don’t keep at it. If I had not checked the company’s surveillance and seen the documents online, I would not have known you, this overtime maniac, were still working.”

Zhang Yang was truly helpless. He never expected that once Chu Jingtian became persistent about something, he would be so stubborn.

“Alright, I’m sorry. I just cannot help working overtime. I want to handle the things at work.”

Chu Jingtian felt a bit apologetic. He could not stay idle. If he did, he would think of the past. Hearing this, Zhang Yang was truly frustrated. “Can you stop thinking about those things now? The past is over. By thinking about all this, are you still dwelling on the past?” Zhang Yang asked suspiciously.

Chu Jingtian quickly denied it and began to explain to Zhang Yang. “Alright, sorry, I just cannot help thinking about these messy things, I just cannot help it. Now I am preparing to sleep. I will not touch the files anymore.”

He knew the person on the other end of the phone must be very angry and did not want him touching so many documents. The objective reason was that Chu Jingtian was doing far too much work. If he continued like this, Zhang Yang would not know how to talk to him anymore. Sometimes when Chu Jingtian did all this work, he never thought about the consequences.

“I don’t even know what to say to you. If you keep staying up, I can tell you will be extremely exhausted.”

Yes, one did not need to imagine to know that if Chu Jingtian continued, he would definitely be tired. Thinking about how Chu Jingtian would look exhausted from doing these things, Zhang Yang felt heartache and did not know how to tell him. Chu Jingtian recognized Zhang Yang’s concern. After quickly hanging up and finishing the documents, he fell directly asleep.

In a nightmare, Chu Jingtian seemed to think of the time he married Zhou Nian. During that period, life was very bad. He did not know how to speak of it or how to face it. When he opened his eyes again, Chu Jingtian realized he had been having nightmares all night. Recalling the nightmares, his heart felt so pained. He did not expect to have this series of nightmares again. Even though he had controlled his emotions, all of this was still slowly happening.

With these events occurring, he could only slowly stabilize his emotions and stop overthinking those messy things. Sometimes when thinking about those things, he really did not want them to exist in his heart. Even though he had stabilized his emotions, he still found himself wandering into those thoughts.

“Alright, I won’t overthink now, I don’t want to think about those messy things.” Chu Jingtian slowly convinced himself this way, letting his emotions stabilize. If he did not stabilize them, he did not know to what extent he would collapse.

Sometimes when trying to stabilize emotions, the heart is actually very unstable, and one does not know how to hide these feelings inside. Thinking about those messy moods, he could not help but feel panicked and afraid. Only by slowly hiding all these emotions in his heart could he stop being so nervous about these things.

In this way, Chu Jingtian slowly controlled his emotions, no longer afraid because of them. Sometimes, the things you fear most are the ones that happen. The later Chu Jingtian stayed up last night, the lower the probability of these nightmares should have been. Having these nightmares last night made his heart feel very helpless. He did not know how to describe it. But once it happened, he would not be nervous about it anymore.

Chu Jingtian stopped thinking about those messy things, got up quickly, washed up, ate, and followed his normal route back to the company for work. Just as Chu Jingtian sat in the room and finished some tasks, he was suddenly called out.

“Chu Jingtian!” A roar came from beside him. “Chu Jingtian, didn’t I tell you? Don’t stay up late because of those messy things. Although the company is very busy, there is no need for you to be this occupied with work!”

Hearing this voice, Chu Jingtian was somewhat helpless and did not know how to respond.

“Ah, haha.”

“Didn’t I tell you? I was just working overtime for fun, why are you so nervous?”

Chu Jingtian was truly helpless. Standing beside him, Zhang Yang looked at Chu Jingtian’s nonchalant expression and did not know what to say. Seeing him look so indifferent, Zhang Yang was at a loss for words.

“You’re really going to make me laugh out of anger. You’re telling me now, it’s no big deal? Luckily, I got up in the middle of the night to check on the company. I saw you were busy and saw your WPS files were online, so I just…”

Chu Jingtian was so hardworking that it made Zhang Yang a bit afraid, not knowing how to stabilize the situation.
