The Aloof Little Puppy Is Super Obedient - Chapter 24

Chu Jingtian couldn’t help but sigh as he thought about these issues. He truly didn’t know how to handle these matters perfectly. Seeing Su Jingyang’s persistence, he felt a sense of helplessness; he simply didn’t know how to dissuade him now that Su Jingyang was so set on this path.

In his own youth, Chu Jingtian had also carried a burning, passionate heart. Eventually, he became a manager. Now, seeing Su Jingyang’s willingness to join the entertainment industry, he felt he had no grounds to talk him out of it. If he tried to stop him, Su Jingyang certainly wouldn’t listen.

Besides, he had already given his word. If he went back on his promise, he could only imagine how heartbroken Su Jingyang would be. Just the thought of Su Jingyang looking sad made his chest feel tight. He didn’t know why, but lately, these matters always seemed to cast a shadow over his mood.

Sometimes he tried to suppress these feelings, but for some reason, they only made him feel more “panicked.” The more he tried to hide it, the more flustered he became.

Instead of growing more anxious, he decided to look at the scenery ahead. Watching the crowds in front of the skyscrapers, he let out a long breath. They were all just workers, after all, striving to do their best and move forward. Chu Jingtian sighed again, unsure of how to face the future. He could only take it one step at a time. Since everything felt out of his control, he decided to simply watch it unfold.

He was no longer that arrogant youth who believed he had the courage to change the entire world. Back then, he felt that if he worked hard enough, everything would fall into his hands. It was a laughable thought now. Today, everything was a reality he had to experience personally, and the thought of it brought a trace of pain.

It was difficult. For some reason, every time he dwelled on these things, his heart started to race. Only after taking a deep breath could he stop his mood from being constantly affected. He shouldn’t let these small things make his heart skip a beat. He could have lived so freely, yet these complications kept weighing him down. He had to walk slowly, very slowly, to quiet his mind. Sometimes it wasn’t that he couldn’t find peace; it was that the world wouldn’t let him.

Faced with all of this, he felt a sense of suffering. Unable to continue working, he finished the last few documents and left the company.

Upon leaving, he went straight to a milk tea shop. In times of distress, a cup of milk tea was a must. Holding the cup, he began to drink slowly. When he was younger, he felt milk tea was the source of life, but as he grew older, the taste seemed far too sweet. Now, tasting that overwhelming sweetness, he frowned, unsure of how to deal with it. He could only endure the sensation.

Yet, the moment it hit his tongue, he felt the sweetness carried a hint of bitterness. Perhaps he had accepted too much bitterness from life, so even sweet milk tea tasted bitter to him. As someone currently filled with negative energy, everything felt a bit difficult and uncomfortable.

He tried to stop these messy thoughts from affecting his mood. A bad mood is often something people bring upon themselves. After finishing the tea, Chu Jingtian began to walk down the street.

To be honest, his and Zhou Nian’s fates were far too intertwined; he could run into Zhou Nian even while just wandering around. Currently, Zhou Nian was accompanied by a small man—the same one as last time. Seeing them looking so sweet together, Chu Jingtian felt nothing.

Just as he tried to take a detour to leave, Zhou Nian rushed over and grabbed Chu Jingtian’s wrist, looking at him with anger.

“Chu Jingtian, what exactly do you want? Why do you keep following me?”

Hearing Zhou Nian grab him and spout such nonsense, Chu Jingtian’s brow furrowed. He couldn’t fathom why Zhou Nian was saying such bizarre things.

“How can you be so unreasonable?” Chu Jingtian now felt that Zhou Nian was quite pathetic. Why hadn’t he noticed before that this man was such a despicable person, so full of himself? Hearing these words now made him feel incredibly annoyed.

“What do you want? Do you have a death wish, talking to me like that? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to find a good mood by buying a cup of tea, only for you to ruin it!”

Chu Jingtian was not going to indulge Zhou Nian. He used to spoil him because he loved that dog of a man, but he was wide awake now. Why should he love Zhou Nian or let him brainwash him? Thinking back on it, he found it ridiculous. He didn’t even know what he had originally seen in him. Whenever he thought about it now, his skin crawled.

The words the man said to him now felt incredibly cheesy and irritating.

“Don’t you find your words laughable? My girlfriend and I were shopping first. Every time we go out, we see you. Are you intentionally watching us? Are you following us?”

Chu Jingtian’s frown deepened. He hadn’t expected Zhou Nian to strike first with such accusations. Faced with this, he couldn’t help but look at Zhou Nian, thinking the man was truly shameless.

“Zhou Nian, have you ever heard an old saying?”

Zhou Nian looked at him with confusion, not knowing what he was about to say.

Chu Jingtian saw his bewildered expression and smiled. “Don’t you think that by saying these things to me, you’re proving just how shameless you are?”

He spoke with a mocking look. To hear Zhou Nian say all this just felt farcical. He had only wanted to buy some tea because life felt bitter, only to run into Zhou Nian. He didn’t want to waste time on this man, yet the man insisted on spouting a mountain of nonsense. When a man is shameless, he is truly beyond help.

Seeing Zhou Nian’s audacity, Chu Jingtian didn’t give him an inch and began to mock him directly.

“I didn’t expect the grand CEO of a company to have so much free time to go on dates with his little girlfriend. No wonder your company won’t last long.”

Chu Jingtian hit Zhou Nian right where it hurt.

“Chu Jingtian!”

Zhou Nian raised his hand, intending to slap Chu Jingtian’s face. Chu Jingtian had been looking down and didn’t react in time to the sudden movement.

Just as he froze, a slender hand reached out and intercepted the blow.

A man stepped out, wearing casual clothes topped with a white jacket. Chu Jingtian recognized him immediately—it was Su Jingyang. Seeing Su Jingyang appear before him every time he was in danger, a smile touched his eyes. He was genuinely happy to have such a brother; whenever he was threatened, this younger brother always showed up.

“Why are you always trying to put your hands on my brother?” Su Jingyang looked at Zhou Nian with disdain. For some reason, every time he saw Chu Jingtian out on the street, he found Zhou Nian bullying him.

Zhou Nian looked at the man who had suddenly appeared. He frowned, not knowing who he was, and found it even more ridiculous that the stranger was speaking up for Chu Jingtian.

“You’re defending him? Are you two in this together?” Zhou Nian looked at Chu Jingtian and Su Jingyang with fury.

Faced with an aggressive Zhou Nian, the two felt only exasperation. “Is there a need for you to be so angry? We haven’t even said anything yet; all we hear is you rambling on. I’ve never known a man to be as talkative as you.”

Su Jingyang mocked him, looking at Zhou Nian with utter contempt. For some reason, everything about Zhou Nian now irritated him. Zhou Nian’s face reddened with rage, never expecting such words from Su Jingyang.

“You…” Zhou Nian was so angry he was speechless.

Su Jingyang saw this and let out a mocking laugh. He hadn’t expected Zhou Nian to be silenced so easily. For Su Jingyang, seeing Zhou Nian suffer in silence was a huge joke.

“I didn’t expect you to take such a loss so quietly. No wonder no one can stand you. Look at that little boyfriend of yours, afraid to even say a word. Look at the kind of people you pick; your taste is truly terrible.”

“Luckily, my brother divorced you. If he hadn’t, I would be dying of embarrassment!”
