Grabbing a cigarette, Lu Tian walks out to the balcony.
Earlier, he had plan to just take Inu out for a bathroom break, but who would have thought that the damn dog ended up running around like it’s life depended on it.
What led as a quick break ended up longer than he had expected. If it wasn’t for the fact that he runs, he was sure the crazy animal would have needed to call an ambulance for him.
Inhaling the cigarette, he leans back on the chair and stare out to Imperial with the setting sun in the background. His mind drifting to when he came back from the Lu household.
How he felt like idiot again.
After visiting the temple with his parents, he didn’t stay for dinner. Once he got inside his car, he drove like crazy coming back all because he wanted to see his wife. Being apart for a quick minute nearly drove him insane.
However, the moment he opened the door, he did not see her. Did she go out? Disappointed, he decided to arrange some of her unpacked boxes. It was best to kill some time.
So, like a good wife cleaning the house, he did just as he wait for Yue Ling, the husband, to come home.
After sorting them out nicely, she still wasn’t back. With nothing else to do, he went out to the balcony to smoke. He didn’t know how long he stayed out there, but he had finished six cigarettes. Killing the last one half way, he goes back in.
"Inu, your mommy will be back. I have to go somewhere."
Hearing the words, he frowned. Yue Ling didn’t say anything about her assistant dropping someone off...
Inu... the name triggered an intense anger rising inside of him. Hearing the door closed, Lu Tian quickly stride out of the bedroom.
How dare she have her assistant bring some man over to her place. Did she forget that he was living with her now?! Was she cheating? No, she couldn’t be...
Passing through the hallway, he halted in his steps. What the heck? Was that his stomach? Frowning, he slightly scratch his head. He hadn’t ate breakfast or lunch so it was natural to be hungry.
Ignoring his stomach, he was eager to meet this Inu guy. Striding into the living room with a cold expression, he was dumbfounded. He did not know what to say.
"Grrr.." another growl was made at him.
Sitting on one of the white couch was a big white fluffy thing.
Staring at this thing, the end of his lip twitch. He was expecting to meet some man, but....
Looking at the white dog, Lu Tian pinch the space between his brows. Was this some kind of joke?
Thinking of the name, he laughs at himself. How could he have missed the biggest clue.. Inu in Japanese meant dog.
Rubbing his temple, he walks over and sits on the other empty couch. Remembering how his wife was so excited, he purse his bottom lip. She was never that excited for him. All she did was either be herself or yells at him.
Glaring at the white fluff ball, he wanted to throw the dog out. How was he going to get his wife’s attention now? He knew he couldn’t throw the dog out. He can’t afford to make his wife angry.
Hearing the low growl from the dog, Lu Tian came out of his thoughts and was even more pissed. This dog is growling and glaring at him like he was an intruder.
"I’m not the intruder, you are."
"Don’t think because you’re a dog, I’ll go easy on you."
Lu Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was actually having a arguing with a dog. Shaking his head, he stands up. Looking at the dog, he sighs.
"I was eating vinegar over nothing."
"Stop barking, I don’t understand you."
Annoyed with himself and Inu, he quickly walks back to the bedroom. He needed another cigarette to calm himself down.
Inu barks at the unknown man. He was supposed to meet his mother, not some unknown peasant he’s never met before!!
How dare his favorite peasant do this to him?! First, he was left with that annoying assistant of hers and now, it’s this evil peasant! Every time humans see him, they shower him with love, but this peasant only gives off a gloomy feeling! Hmmf!
Lu Tian who was oblivious to dog language, was outside the balcony smoking again. After a few minutes, he hears the front door opening. Knowing it was his wife coming back, he kills the cigarette and walks back in.
Then, that’s when he heard her talking to the non human intruder with doting and love.
Seeing her hug the dog and act like it was the only love of her life, he ate more endless jars of vinegar.
His competition this time is a dog!
Walking to the couch, he sat down and watched his wife ignore him while Inu glares at him. To Lu Tian, Inu’s expression was mocking, as if saying, ’Hmmf! My mom loves me more than you! Ahaha!’
