Lu Chenghe held his paws and shook them: "You're actually an expert at hitting at me, so why are you terrified once you go out? When other people hit you, you don't even know to dodge."

"Woof woof woof!" Obviously, I dodged! It's only that that person has mental problems okay! Could we stop mentioning this black history!

Seeing Little Pudding barking discontentedly at him, Lu Chenghe pinched his ear and repeatedly said: “Yes yes yes, you're the best. These next few days, obediently and stay at home. I'll have the steward watch over you well. Wait for me to come back, if you get fatter, I'll force you to lose weight.”

Zuo Ning suddenly got up from his body: “Awoo?” Where're you going?

Perhaps because he saw his doubtful eyes, Lu Chenghe said: “I'm going on a business trip for a few days. I'll be back soon, so you have to be obedient.”

As soon as Zuo Ning heard these words, he nuzzled his head into Lu Chenghe's embrace. Going out on a business trip for several days, there'll be several days where we won't be able to meet. That's several days, quite a while.

Lu Chenghe was obliged to let this big baby stick to him and act spoiled in every way. Although it wasn't like no one was at home, he didn't know if not being able to see him for many days, this guy would hide under the covers and weep.

Counting the days, although Zuo Ning was unwilling, the time when Lu Chenghe had said he would go on a business trip had come. It's been said that this time, it was for some hot spring hotel project. It had been under construction for several years, and now that the construction is finally finished, Lu Chenghe went to cut the ribbon for the official opening.

When the butler took Lu Chenghe's luggage down the stairs, Zuo Ning, who was originally already mentally prepared, was still reluctant to part and sat on the luggage, anxiously looking at Lu Chenghe. Although he knew that Lu Chenghe would return soon after a few days, his life now completely revolved around Lu Chenghe, so when he was going to leave like this, Zuo Ning suddenly felt that his dog life was going to become lonely.

In the past, Lu Chenghe went out for a few days at most. That is, his parents had always warned him to stay safe and it was very rare for him to be stopped from leaving like this. Seeing that sticky little thing, Lu Chenghe wondered if he should get his own private plane. That'd be more convenient.

Things like this kind of burning money are not very useful. Thinking of those kind of money burning and not too useful thing, aside from the one for the Lu family's public use, only the fourth, that guy, had a private one. Before, he'd thought that he didn't need one and on top of that, he barely flew so he had even less of a use for one. If he really needed one, it wasn't like he couldn't get one, so he was even less interested in getting one for himself. However, looking at his own sticky little thing, maybe he could consider this matter.

Just when Lu Chenghe was hesitating about whether he should bring Little Pudding along this time as after all, it was just cutting the ribbon and not discussing some kind of multinational collaboration, he saw that little thing already well-behavedly get up and sit down by the side, not being sticky and disturbing him again.

Lu Chenghe smiled. Crouching down, he petted the dog's head: "Be good and obedient, then I'll bring you along next time."

Zuo Ning's eyes immediately lit up: "Woof!" One word and it's settled!

When Mother Lu came over, she saw her son and her own little darling looking reluctant to part and suddenly, she couldn't help but feel bitter. From childhood, her son had been especially independent, and he'd never gone through Chunibyo. Growing up to this day, she'd simply never seen this… this hard to describe side to him. For some reason, she suddenly felt like her own son was taking the route of a p.o.o.p-scooper [1] with no going back.

Only after Lu Chenghe's car had driven out of the courtyard did Zuo Ning hang his head down and droop his ears, letting out a sigh. He'd only just left and he'd already started to miss him, what could be done. Sure enough, this kind of mind filled completely with lovey-dovey feelings wasn't right. Even if he became a dog, he should be a dog with a career!

Regarding Lu Chenghe's business trip, the happiest party should be Mother Lu. During the day, aside from working at the company, her family's youngster would only stay at home and wouldn't go out for walks. If he didn't go out, how could he come across beautiful girls? It would be best to stage a romance between a prince and a Cinderella. She could guarantee that she wouldn't be an evil mother-in-law!

Moreover, at long last, she would be able to properly seize Little Pudding entirely and at night, she could hug the furry dango to sleep. That'd definitely be very comfortable.

However beautiful her imaginations were, once it became night, Little Pudding would automatically run away.  No matter how she dragged him along, it was useless. For the life of him, he had to return to his son's side over there. No matter how many times she said that Chenghe wasn't present, that it would take several days for him to come back, he didn't listen. Obviously, he was usually very intelligent and could understand many words, but now, he just wouldn't listen. Really, this willful baby would only hear what he wanted to hear.
