The Aloof Little Puppy Is Super Obedient - Chapter 17
Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Chu Jingtian had a helpless smile on his face, truly not knowing how to begin explaining.
As Chu Jingtian tried to continue, Zhang Yang immediately cut him off, forcing him to rest. “Wait a minute. I know you are about to spout some nonsense. Keep those words to yourself; I do not want to hear them.”
“Anyway, I am making myself clear: just take care of your body.”
After saying this, Zhang Yang ran off, locking the door as he left.
Watching Zhang Yang bolt so far away in an instant, Chu Jingtian really did not know what to say. Hearing Zhang Yang’s words, he knew he had no choice but to comply. He never expected to encounter such a situation just by being in this company.
By noon, Chu Jingtian received reminders from the staff. He was officially off the clock and was told to go rest for the afternoon. When he tried to return to his post, he found his office door locked.
If his office was locked, it was definitely Zhang Yang’s doing. Thinking of this, he could only swallow his grievances. If he tried to argue, Zhang Yang would surely nag him again. He could only keep his feelings to himself, unable to do anything. If he said too much, Zhang Yang would get angry, and he did not want that.
After packing his things, Chu Jingtian left the company to start his rest. Not knowing where to go, he headed to the mall to wander around.
Sometimes it is quite helpless. When a person is busy, they long for rest, but while resting, they think of being busy. Chu Jingtian was exactly that type of person. Every time he rested, he constantly thought about how to stay busy and how to use his time productively. Yet, while working, he felt how slowly time passed and how exhausting the work was.
Now, thinking of all this, he did not know how to face it and could only keep it inside. To kill time alone, he wandered through the mall.
Back when he was married to Zhou Nian, he never knew what to do with himself. He would stay at home, cook, and slowly wait for Zhou Nian to return. That was how his days passed. Returning to the company, he felt that as long as he worked and let the time fade away there, he would not be affected by those emotions.
He did not expect that after going back to work, he would face the same issues. He worked hard, but his friends, seeing his effort, feared he would eventually break his health and sent him home to rest. In today’s society, most bosses oppress their employees; he never expected a boss who was also a friend to let him off so early.
Regardless, being able to walk around properly felt quite good for a normal person. While wandering the mall, Chu Jingtian did not know what to buy. After a large lap, he stopped in front of a men’s clothing store.
Seeing the store, a smile appeared in his eyes and he walked in quickly. Although the name at the entrance was a bit old-fashioned, the clothes inside were all high-end luxury brands. He walked in with a smile and began browsing. The name of the store reminded him of someone, and thinking of buying clothes for that person made him feel happy.
Just as he picked out a garment, someone next to him reached for the same piece. Looking to his side, he saw Zhou Nian.
Most importantly, Zhou Nian was holding a small, flirtatious man dressed in revealing clothing. The man in Zhou Nian’s arms also saw Chu Jingtian. Seeing Chu Jingtian’s androgynous face and determined eyes, he knew this was Zhou Nian’s “ex-wife.”
Since they both chose the same item, a competitive spark lit up the man’s eyes. “Waiter!”
“Can you come over and help us check out? I have my eye on this outfit. We will just swipe the card. We also want to top up an SVIP membership.”
The man in Zhou Nian’s arms spoke with a triumphant smile, and Zhou Nian held him with a similar expression. Seeing their provocative smiles, Chu Jingtian’s eyes turned cold. He did not know how to express his emotions.
Seeing them act this way, he did not even know how to start. He thought back to being with Zhou Nian. Luckily, nothing had ever happened between them; if it had, Chu Jingtian would surely find it disgusting now. He really did not know what they were thinking, appearing before him to do such sickening things.
“Why are you being so disgusting? It makes people uncomfortable. If you want to show off your affection, please do not do it in front of me.”
Chu Jingtian was not someone to be bullied easily. He looked at them with a polite smile.
Before the small man could speak, Zhou Nian could no longer contain himself. “What do you mean by that? Are you jealous of my little baby? If you cannot stand it, please do not…”
“Waiter, bill me directly. Also, I want to sign up for a lifetime membership at this store. Please process it for me.”
The clerk quickly walked to Chu Jingtian, picked up the items for him, and maintained a polite smile. The staff was naturally happy to hear that Chu Jingtian was taking everything. After wrapping the clothes, the clerk handed them to him. Chu Jingtian took them happily and looked at the two behind him with a touch of mockery.
Looking at them now, he only felt it was ridiculous. He could not understand why they wanted to disgust him, so he decided to return the favor. He actually quite disliked them, not because Zhou Nian appeared before him, but because of the man beside him.
He usually disliked “green tea” types putting on a show. He had already left Zhou Nian, yet this man was still flaunting Zhou Nian in front of him. It was truly disgusting. This kind of person was like someone picking up the trash you threw away and then placing that trash right back in front of your face.
Before Chu Jingtian could walk very far, the two ran in front of him and blocked his path with mocking expressions. Chu Jingtian looked at them with helplessness. Seeing them chase after him again, he felt only irritation.
“You two are really annoying. I do not want to talk to you, yet you insist on getting in my face. Are you intentionally looking for trouble?”
Chu Jingtian was truly at a loss. He had already explained the situation to them, yet they still wanted to cause trouble.
“That is not it, Big Brother. I really like that outfit. Can you sell it to me? That was the last one in the store. Can you let me have it?”
The man spoke with a very aggrieved tone, looking at Chu Jingtian with watery eyes. Chu Jingtian felt truly helpless. Hearing him talk like that, Chu Jingtian almost threw up the meals he had eaten for breakfast and lunch.
He truly admired Zhou Nian. What was Zhou Nian thinking, dating these types of people? Hearing the tone of his words, Chu Jingtian felt only exhaustion.
“I have already told you very clearly: I bought this garment first. If you truly want it, you can make a reservation with the clerk. Do not ask me. Thank you.”
Chu Jingtian did not want to waste more time and tried to walk away. Behind him, Zhou Nian saw Chu Jingtian trying to leave again and grabbed his hand with a cold gaze. “Stop right there. If you do not give these things to my baby, do not even think about leaving.”
As Zhou Nian spoke, his face carried a cold, sharp light. At this moment, Chu Jingtian felt like he wanted to die of frustration, not understanding what was going on in Zhou Nian’s head.
“Look, man, I have already split up with you. Are you looking for trouble on purpose? I told you already: if you really want it, you can make a reservation with the clerk.”
“But Big Brother, this is the last one in the store, and we were the ones holding it first. Why did you take it away?”
The person in Zhou Nian’s arms looked so wronged, acting as if they did not know what else to do but put on a pitiful expression. Chu Jingtian finally realized that a true “green tea” is terrifying; their words alone could kill someone.
“First of all, I told you that I also like this garment and I do not want to give it up. Most importantly, are we even close?”
It was laughable. They suddenly appeared in front of him, telling him to give them his clothes. Why should he give them the clothes he bought? Could they not buy their own? It was truly too ridiculous.
