The door to the study was pushed open from the outside, and a graceful lady stepped in, smiling warmly. "Dear, you're reading again!" she said. Inside, Old Su Kui sat upright, having already switched his book to the "Spring and Autumn Annals," his face serious. "Ancient sages said, 'to teach without weariness, to be diligent and eager to learn.' Books reveal countless life lessons. Reading more is truly beneficial," he said. "Mrs. Su, isn't it time for dinner? Where is Xiao Wu?" "I have no idea where she's off to! I only saw her a moment ago, and then she hurried off, saying she wanted to visit the new puppy. Does that mean I, as a mother, am less important than a few dogs?" the lady said, her tone slightly displeased. "Ah, children are just naturally playful," the old man thought, though he didn't tell her—his beloved daughter had actually brought a person in from the airport, and visiting the new puppy was merely an excuse. The countess and Su Kui differed in age by at least twenty years, and with the countess well maintained, they looked more like mother and daughter at first glance. Su Kui set down the book, walked over, and gently embraced the countess's slender waist, smiling, "My dear, Xiao Wu is no longer young. It's time we found her a suitable partner. Today's young men seem utterly indifferent to responsibility—without marriage, they'll never truly grow up!" "How can you be so eager to see her married? I absolutely disagree. Xiao Wu is only twenty-two—why marry her so early? We certainly can afford to support her." The countess expressed her disagreement: "Our daughter has always been well-mannered and thoughtful. But the younger men these days are always out drinking and partying. I simply can't trust her to such a lifestyle!" Su Kui immediately nodded and said, "Indeed. The young men of today seem to lack responsibility. They're mostly known for living a lavish lifestyle, boasting their father's name abroad, and otherwise fall short in every other way. Yet, my dear, the more we see this, the more we must pay attention—there must still be good young men out there. As long as we're willing to put in the effort, we're certain to find them!" The lady didn't object, adding, "I haven't heard anything positive about the young man from China. After all, she studied for her entire university degree back home before coming to Europe!" Su Kui stroked his chin and remarked, "I'd wager he's no better than what we see here. The three prevailing types in that region are the wealthy second-generation offspring, the government-appointed second-generation offspring, and the wealthy entrepreneurs. Wouldn't your dear daughter have been quite eager to leave China and come here if she truly found someone she admired?" "Indeed. These days, finding a young man who is both responsible and well-mannered has become truly difficult," the lady agreed, deeply in resonance. The old man never stopped putting the shine on his own face: "That's right—men like me, good men of my kind, have long since vanished!" "Come off it! Didn't you find a suitable old man for your sweet daughter? Back then, when I was already a man in his forties, you were still in your prime!" "Hold on—let's change the subject. By the way, where is your sweet daughter? Where's Ah-Three? Ah-Three, go find the lady and get ready to serve dinner!" "... Qin Feng, I'm going to kill you!" Su Wu's eyes blazed with fury, as if she wanted to leap upon him and devour him whole. "Hey, really? Are you that angry just over a dog's life?" Qin Feng glanced at her, still indulging in his meal, his words a bit slurred. "You've started eating meat too—what right do you have to criticize me?" "I'll just spit it out," Su Wu said, but where could she possibly spit it out? First, she was tied down, and second, she was truly starving—her stomach, once empty, had only managed a little food. How could she possibly Seeing him eat more and more, Su Wu roared, "You keep eating! Don't let me see you eat!" "I'm eating my own meal, what does it matter to you? You haven't even invited me to dinner, so I have to make do on my own," Qin the young man said with a touch of disdain. "Are you sure you don't want a little more? You were really enjoying your meal just now. Don't make yourself feel guilty, hey?" Su, the little girl, was truly furious: "Danny is my favorite dog, the one I've raised since childhood. I'll definitely kill you to make it up to him!" "Just one dog, how about this—let me compensate you?" "It doesn't matter what you offer. No dog can ever replace Danny!" "Wait a minute, a dog's lifespan is at most a few decades. How about this—let me stay with you for a decade? Can a dog accompany you on shopping trips, sleep with you, eat with you? All of that I can do!" "Qin Feng, you cold-blooded traitor! I hate you! I hate you so much! I should have listened to Dad and cut off your hands right away. Wuuu, Danny—I'm so sorry to you. It's all because I was soft-hearted, and that's why you suffered so terribly." The little girl cried harder and harder, leaving Qin Feng completely drained. He set down his chopsticks, raised both hands, and said, "I surrender—will you please stop crying?" The girl continued weeping, even louder. He had no choice but to turn and walk toward the door, pulling along a calm, respectful riot dog, murmuring, "You really have no sense of things! The deer meat we're stewing was stolen from your fridge—your dog should still be alive, right?" The dog named Danny, though alive, moved with such gentleness toward Qin Feng, clearly having been frightened. Su Wu's eyes lit up. The riot dog wagged its tail with a courtly expression and rushed over to gently lick the beauty's face. The police dogs are usually amputated of their tails when they're very young, leaving only a one-inch stub, yet dogs naturally love to wag their tails—whether they have tails or not, they always wag them. Qin Feng watched the woman and the dog in joyful commotion, his expression strained, shaking his head and saying, "Su Wu, even if I try to kiss you, you won't let me. You're covered in dog drool!" Immersed in her happiness, she hummed, "What dream are you talking about? I'm not going to let you kiss me—I'm still so glad Danie is the most well-behaved one. I'm truly relieved you're still alive!" At that moment, a voice from outside called out, "Miss, are you there?" Qin Feng spoke firmly, "Everyone—both people and dogs—be quiet. If anyone dares to speak, I won't be gentle with them!" Under Su Wu's astonished gaze, all the dogs closed their mouths, some even closing their eyes in fear. One couldn't imagine what Qin Feng had done to them—how he had managed to scare them so much. She had intended to call out, but upon seeing Qin Feng’s dazed, dreamy expression, she was too startled to speak. The phrase “I’ll dominate you” from earlier left a deep impression on her. Outside, the third servant circled around, murmuring to herself, “What a fragrance—so rich and inviting! All the dogs are gone, and the caretaker who usually tends to them is also absent. Clearly, the lady has taken the dogs out for a wild adventure. Now what? The lord and lady are waiting for dinner!” With that, the sound of footsteps faded into the distance. Qin Feng chuckled, “Sweetheart, I think no one will notice your disappearance for a while. What’s the matter with you staring at me like that? After all, you were the one who first took me captive, locked me in this cage. Though it was only for a few minutes, I’m a man who holds grudges. What I’m doing now is just a small part of my revenge. I promise you, what comes next will be even more exciting.”
