After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 206 Su Qianqian's love of beauty is something everyone has!

Just as Xiao Wang was lost in thought, a clear and pleasant voice came over: "I'm sorry, my Ai Ren is very enthusiastic. He likes to rub against everyone he sees."

Please don't mind. By the way, your dog is really beautiful, what's its name?

The one who spoke was Su Qianqian, who arrived shortly after. She smiled and looked at Xiao Wang and the golden retriever with gentle eyes.

Hearing Su Qianqian's words, Xiao Wang finally felt relieved and replied with a smile, "Oh, it's called gold."

"Oh? That's a pretty interesting name!" Su Qianqian couldn't help but laugh, and continued, "It seems you must have had a special meaning behind giving it this name, right?"

"Haha, it doesn't mean anything special. I just thought of this name when I saw it," Xiao Wang said with a grin.

Su Qianqian looked "Little Wang" up and down with a curious gaze.

Despite some doubts about his identity, the man was undeniably handsome, with a striking face, tall and well-proportioned figure, and impeccable attire.

Especially the large, golden-yellow, glossy dog ​​beside him, which was clearly being taken very well.

Su Qianqian muttered to herself: To be able to raise a large dog like a Golden Retriever, which requires careful care, so well, this person must be either rich or powerful.

Thinking of this, Su Qianqian's bright eyes darted around, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face. She took the initiative to chat with Xiao Wang, and the topic naturally revolved around "dog-raising experience".

She enthusiastically shared her experiences of raising dogs, while Xiao Wang listened with a smile, occasionally interjecting with insightful remarks.

Before they knew it, the two had hit it off and were having a very pleasant conversation in a harmonious atmosphere.

Perhaps because they were so engrossed in their conversation, Su Qianqian revealed her home address to Xiao Wang without reservation, and even mentioned that her dog named Ai Ren especially liked "gold" and hoped that they would have more opportunities to meet.

Of course, Su Qianqian kept making excuses for her enthusiastic behavior—it was definitely not because she thought "Xiao Wang" was rich and handsome.

Besides, making more friends means having more options in the future. Since arriving in ancient times, this kind of thinking has become a frequent practice for her.

Another thing is that "Xiao Wang" is really good-looking; after all, everyone loves beauty!

In the following days, Su Qianqian frequently "bumped into" Xiao Wang, and the two quickly became acquainted, chatting enthusiastically whenever they met.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were doing *that* kind of thing.

Ai Ren: "..."

No, didn't you come here specifically to see me? How come you're chatting so enthusiastically with her all of a sudden?!

What do you mean by that?!

After the two became familiar with each other, Su Qianqian complained to Xiao Wang with a wronged expression: "Tell me, what's wrong with my Ai Ren lately? It doesn't even want to sleep with me anymore!"

We used to sleep together every night. Now, it absolutely refuses to sleep with me at night, and I'm heartbroken.

"And that's not all!" Su Qianqian continued to complain, "This guy doesn't even like to take a bath anymore! No matter how I coax or persuade him, he just won't let me go into the bathroom with him."

It insists on showering alone, it's incredibly stubborn! You know, it's just a dog, not a man, it's so fussy.

At this point, Su Qianqian couldn't help but pout, her face full of helplessness and confusion.

What's even more outrageous is that even when I try to hug it, it acts extremely reluctant and avoids me from a distance, as if it's afraid I'll take advantage of it.

[Sigh, I really don't know what it's thinking! Do you think our Airen might have found another 'lover' behind my back? Otherwise, why has it suddenly become so cold towards me?]

While listening to Su Qianqian's story, Xiao Wang relayed all of Ai Ren's unusual circumstances to Gu Yunchen and the others.

After listening, everyone looked at each other, a sense of doubt rising in their hearts.

Could it be that these "abnormal" behaviors of Airen mean that it has "awakened"?

Otherwise, why would this "dog," who was always so close to Su Qianqian, suddenly start deliberately avoiding its owner?

Thinking about this, everyone felt that they should ask Jiang Mianmian to go again and investigate Ai Ren's true situation.

After all, this sudden change was far too strange.

Jiang Mianmian raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Why don't you give it a try?" Her tone carried a hint of expectation and encouragement.

Gu Yunchen raised an eyebrow and nodded in agreement, "Alright, let's give it a try!"

On this very day, as the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the streets, Su Qianqian carried a large bone and some snacks in her hands and hurried home.

From afar, she saw the handsome young man, Xiao Wang, standing in front of her house, with another person beside him.

Su Qianqian's gaze was instantly drawn to Xiao Wang, and she didn't pay much attention to the person next to him.

Her face lit up with joy, and she came running over like a happy little deer, asking in a sweet voice, "Wang Ping, did you come to see me?"

The jubilant expression on her face suggested that she had already decided in her heart that Xiao Wang was standing at her doorstep, and that he must have come specifically to see her.

Especially when she ran to the door and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man next to Xiao Wang, she was immediately struck by his handsome appearance.

His sharply defined face was as if sculpted by a master sculptor, his deep eyes sparkling like stars, and his slightly upturned lips beneath his high nose revealed a subtle, almost imperceptible smile.

At this moment, Su Qianqian felt her heart racing, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed red.

To conceal her inner turmoil, she subconsciously raised her hand and gently brushed aside the hair that fell over her shoulder, perfectly showcasing her slender and graceful swan neck, hoping to leave a good impression on the handsome stranger before her.

However, to Su Qianqian's surprise, Xiao Wang then revealed their true purpose for coming.

It turned out that Xiao Wang happened to see the "Lost Dog Notice" posted by this person on the street. After looking at it carefully, he found that the dog described on it looked very similar to the dog that Su Qianqian owned.

So, the "kind-hearted" Xiao Wang decided to bring the man looking for his dog here to try his luck and see if it was his lost dog.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian's eyes widened instantly, her originally fair face flushing red with anger. She shouted angrily:

"You actually suspect that my dog ​​is the one he lost? Impossible! Airen has always been my precious pet, how could he be his dog!"

The man replied with certainty, "I have witnesses, and my dog ​​has obvious characteristics..."

If you don't believe me, we can easily check these characteristics on the dog, and then the truth will come out.

Su Qianqian's eyes flickered guiltily. Others might not know what was going on, but she knew perfectly well how Ai Ren had come to be by her side, so she would never agree to such a request.

The thought of Ai Ren leaving her makes her feel especially sad.

But just then, that person blocked the gate, preventing Su Qianqian from going home, and insisted that she bring out the dog so he could see if the big black dog was really his.

Su Qianqian turned to look at Xiao Wang, who was usually quite close to her, thinking that he would stand on her side and speak up for her.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang also supported that stranger, which made Su Qianqian's heart sink.

She was both angry and annoyed, cursing inwardly: I've been so good to you all this time, I was blind! All that kindness has been wasted on the dogs!

If I had known this would happen, I would never have been so open and honest with him.

Thinking of this, Su Qianqian glared at Xiao Wang resentfully, then shouted angrily:

"If you two don't leave my doorstep right now, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll shout for help right now and tell everyone that you two men are blocking a vulnerable woman like me and trying to take advantage of me..."

Seeing Su Qianqian's agitated state, Xiao Wang and the man searching for the dog knew that continuing the stalemate would likely lead to nothing, and they might even be branded as thugs, which would be incredibly embarrassing!

After exchanging a glance, the two had no choice but to leave Su Qianqian's house.

[Oh dear! Look at Su Qianqian's reaction, it's so strong! Could there really be something fishy going on here? Most likely, she knows there's something wrong with this dog.]

[Who knows? She knew a long time ago that this dog was unusual! It's even possible that she knew perfectly well that this dog... was actually Situ Wenqi?!]

Everyone was shocked to hear this: No way?

However, upon further reflection, considering Situ Wenqi's previous complete disregard for Su Qianqian, coupled with the female lead's consistent character and conduct, everyone was truly unsure and dared not make any hasty judgments.

"Look at Su Qianqian's expression. It's obvious she doesn't want to return the dog at all. What are we going to do now?"

Jiang Mianmian stared at her son's men with suspicion, muttering to herself: I really don't understand. My mission has clearly been successfully completed, so why did the third son have to call me here to have a meeting with them and join in the fun?

Could it be that they believe things will go more smoothly if I'm present?

Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel sorry for the big black dog's real owner.

[What was once a perfectly good big dog has now been turned into a royal dog. Even if the owner wants it back, it's probably hopeless!]

Gu Yunchen said, "Whether Su Qianqian is willing or not, as long as Situ Wenqi is willing to go with them, we have to find a way to take this dog back."

His tone was firm and decisive, as if this matter was inevitable.
