水蜜桃实验室

Just as the staff member was about to put the cage with the puppy into the car, Tongtong clutched Xu Fan’s arm tightly and said with concern, “Daddy, it’s so dark in the back, won’t the puppy be scared?”

Hearing this, Xu Fan stopped the employee who was about to put the cage in and said, “Take the dog out of the cage and let it into the back seat of the car.”

The staff member hesitated and said, “This little dog is a bit wild. If we let it out of the cage, I’m afraid it might bite someone, or run away.”

“Don’t worry, if it runs away, it’s on me,” Xu Fan said confidently.

“Alright, if you insist, I’ll do as you say.” The staff member opened the cage and let out the puppy.

Xu Fan opened the rear door of the Audi S7 and said to the puppy, “Up!”

The little puppy seemed to understand Xu Fan’s words, and with a forceful hop on its three legs, it jumped into the car and then quietly lay down on the floor of the vehicle.

“Huh, how did this dog suddenly become so obedient?” The staff member was a bit surprised. It wasn’t easy to teach a dog to get into a car, some dogs couldn’t learn it even after three months of training by a pet instructor, but this one got it right after being let out of the cage.

“Alright, everything’s fine now,” Xu Fan told the staff as he picked up Tongtong and got into the car.

After securing Tongtong in her car seat with the little safety belt, Xu Fan started the car. The Audi S7 roared to life as they left the pet store.

Watching the Audi S7 disappear, the pet store’s manager finally showed a sly smile.

“I could have sold this dog to a dog trader for just 200 yuan, but to think I sold it to this unsuspecting buyer for 7,000 yuan, my luck is truly great today.”

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, who was driving the car, also had a hint of a smug smile on his lips.

A pet with a Spirit Beast bloodline, even in the Cultivation World, could fetch a sky-high price at auction. To have bought this puppy for just a few thousand yuan, my luck is truly great today.

“Daddy, can I hug my little sidekick now?” Tongtong, seated in her car seat, couldn’t keep still and kept looking at the puppy lying at her feet, teasing it with her little foot.

Unfortunately, ever since the puppy had lain down in the car, it had been very quiet and didn’t join Tongtong in her antics.

“Daddy, why is the puppy ignoring me?” Tongtong asked Xu Fan in frustration when the puppy didn’t respond to her.

“It’s too dirty. I’ve ordered it to stay still in the car. Once we get home and give it a bath, cleanup its body, then Tongtong can hold and play with it to her heart’s content,” Xu Fan patiently explained to little Tongtong.

“But Tongtong wants to play with the puppy now.” Sitting in the back seat car seat, Tongtong started to act stubborn, flailing her little hands and kicking her legs, puffing up her face in frustration.

Xu Fan rubbed his forehead. He wasn’t afraid of formidable enemies, but he found it toughest to deal with his daughter’s temper. He couldn’t bear to scold or spank her, and cajoling didn’t work either. This dad job seemed not as easy as it appeared.

“Tongtong, the puppy doesn’t have a name yet. Why don’t you give it a name?” Xu Fan turned his eyes, quickly coming up with an idea.

“Oh yeah, Tongtong’s puppy doesn’t have a name yet.” Tongtong stopped her antics and, with her little hand supporting her chubby cheek, started to think seriously about the puppy’s name.

Children, distract their attention and you’ve tricked them. Xu Fan’s lips curved upward as he thought to himself, my dear daughter, you’re still too green to compete with your old dad.

“Daddy, daddy, the puppy is white, how about we call it Snowflake?” Tongtong suggested cutely, shaking her head as she spoke to Xu Fan.

“Snowflake is too light; it’s going to get fatter and may even turn into a Snowball,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

“There was already a Snowball in the store earlier, and Tongtong’s dog can’t have the same name. Tongtong needs to come up with another one,” Tongtong said, scratching her head and sinking back into deep thought.

“Daddy, the puppy is so obedient, how about we call it Good Boy?” Tongtong came up with another idea, excitedly suggesting it to Xu Fan.

“Good Boy won’t do either, because sometimes daddy calls Tongtong ‘good girl,’ and then we won’t be able to tell who’s who,” Xu Fan patiently responded.

“Yeah, yeah, Tongtong is super well-behaved too; we can’t have a repeat of Tongtong’s name. Let Tongtong think some more.” Tongtong wrapped her little hand around her ponytail, adorably pouting her lips, and her large eyes sparkled with a mischievous glow.

Along the way, Tongtong came up with seven or eight names, but either Xu Fan rejected them, or she herself felt they weren’t quite right after a while. They hadn’t settled on a name, but the car was almost at their home in Star of Zhonghai.

Finally, as they were approaching the entrance to the complex, Tongtong thought of another name and excitedly said to Xu Fan, “Daddy, Tongtong has an idea, let’s call it Ben Ben, okay?”

“Looking at his dopey appearance, Ben Ben is no problem,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

The puppy lying on the floor heard this and immediately lifted its little leg, calling out to Xu Fan in a weak voice.

“Woof… Woof woof woof woof…”

Xu Fan understood the puppy’s intentions; it was protesting. Being such a smart dog, it should be called Cong Cong (Smart), Mingming—why Ben Ben!

“Daddy, the puppy barked—it seems like it likes the name Ben Ben,” Tongtong said, excitedly clapping her little hands upon hearing the puppy’s bark.

“Woof… Woof woof woof woof…”

Since when did this dog like the name Ben Ben—little master, please don’t spout nonsense.

The puppy moved its little legs on the ground, its barks full of protest.

“Haha, since he likes it, it’s settled. From now on, you’ll be called Ben Ben!” Xu Fan decisively said, the sound reaching the puppy’s perked-up ears.

“Whine, whine, whine…”

This is authoritarian oppression of a dog—it won’t stand for this…

The dog lay on the ground giving Xu Fan a miserable protest, but when Xu Fan turned his head back with a firm look, the puppy instantly quieted down.

“Yay, Ben Ben, Ben Ben, you have a name now,” Tongtong said excitedly to the little puppy on the ground.

The puppy lay there with a look of utter despondence.

At that moment, the car had arrived at the complex. Xu Fan honked the horn once, and immediately two security guards came out of the guardhouse to verify Xu Fan’s identity.

Because Xu Fan’s car was new, the access control system couldn’t recognize it, so the two security guards came out and stood by Xu Fan’s car window, wanting to see Xu Fan’s true face.

Xu Fan slowly rolled down the window.

These two security guards were the ones who had watched Xu Fan deal with Bald Qiang and his cronies and called the police from the sidelines. The two of them had just been enthusiastically discussing in the guardhouse how Xu Fan would surely be tortured after being caught by Song Qiang and Chen Hai, and might even be locked up in prison for a few years.

To their surprise, just one afternoon later, Xu Fan was driving a fiercely styled Audi, appearing right before them. How utterly impressive!

“Good day, resident!” The younger security guard quickly saluted Xu Fan.

“Enter my license plate into the access control system, so it won’t be an inconvenience in the future,” said Xu Fan softly to the two guards.

“Right away, go record the license plate,” the older security guard urged his companion immediately.

“Zhonghai A·T6666, what an awesome license plate!” The young guard exclaimed while looking at the license plate.

As the guard operated the remote, the barrier rose, Xu Fan rolled up the window, and drove straight to his parking spot at home.
