Chapter 2039: Big White Wolf Wants to Eat, Eat, Eat
In front of everyone, Shen Cang is all serious and uptight, but back in the office, when it’s just him and the two kids, he can’t keep up that stern face.
Head Grandpa takes a foil package from his bag, opens it up, and the aroma of roast chicken mixed with savory mushrooms fills the air.
Little Taotie licks her lips, already looking like a greedy cat.
Shen Cang’s lips curl into a smile: "Eat up."
Little Taotie doesn’t hold back, slips on a pair of disposable gloves and tears off a big chicken leg.
The chicken leg is held up to Shen Cang’s mouth.
Shen Cang is taken aback for a moment.
"Head Grandpa, eat up!"
Facing the bright eyes of the little girl, Shen Cang, as if possessed, opens his mouth and takes a bite.
"Head Grandpa, hold this."
Shen Cang holds onto the chicken leg, snapping back to reality, a bit amused and exasperated.
Little Taotie has already torn off the second chicken leg and directly brings it up to Hua Jinyan’s mouth, urging, "Huahua, eat up quickly, while it’s hot!"
Hua Jinyan obediently opens his mouth and bites the chicken leg, and Little Taotie withdraws her hand, moving on to tear a chicken wing.
Hua Jinyan lifts his eyes, just in time to lock gazes with Shen Cang.
With a chicken leg in his mouth, Shen Cang says, "No wonder you’ve gained weight."
Hua Jinyan: "..."
He feels like the chicken leg in his hand suddenly doesn’t taste as good.
But remembering that Little Taotie gave it to him, he quietly finishes eating it.
Little Taotie finishes off the rest of the chicken, her lips covered in grease, looking thoroughly satisfied: "Head Grandpa’s roast chicken is still the best."
Shen Cang clears his throat: "I bought it."
Little Taotie huffs and puffs.
If it were before, she might have believed it, but she’s already checked the office drawer and confirmed that Head Grandpa is just a stubborn old grandpa who says one thing and means another.
The door is knocked on, and Yuanyuan’s voice comes from outside the office: "Big White is back."
Shen Cang: "Bring it in."
Yuanyuan is a little surprised. In the past, unauthorized people weren’t allowed into the Head’s office, let alone animals.
Every member of the Seventh Captain has an animal; they keep an eye on them like hawks, afraid they’d accidentally wander into the office. If a single animal hair ends up in the office, the entire Seventh Captain would be in trouble.
Now, Little Taotie wants to see Big White, and the Head actually agreed to let Big White come into the office.
Before long, Yuanyuan brings in Big White.
Little Taotie looks at the now chubbier Big White and blinks: "You’ve put on weight!"
Big White Wolf tries to let out a howl, but under Shen Cang’s stern gaze, it keeps its mouth shut.
"Where’s the Little Dog?" Little Taotie suddenly remembers she left Little Dog in the lounge.
"Woof-woo—"
A weak bark.
Little Taotie looks towards the window and quickly goes to scoop it up: "The window is dangerous, if you fall, you’ll die!"
Bai Shuang is sulky inside, having followed the scent here.
If she’s not mistaken, Little Taotie must have climbed out the window herself earlier. Isn’t she afraid of the danger?
Little Taotie pushes Fox Dog in front of Big White: "Can you help me translate?"
Big White Wolf: "Terms."
Yuanyuan presses her temple: "It’s gotten smart now. Every time you want it to do something, you’ve got to negotiate terms."
Little Taotie blinks and asks, "What do you want?"
Big White Wolf: "Meat! Meat, meat, meat!"
It was definitely not gaining weight! Where’s the weight gain?
Clearly, it’s this little girl who’s put on weight!
Hmmph! She must have been snacking on all sorts of goodies behind the wolf’s back!
Doesn’t even know where she went gallivanting off to all this time, not even bothering to come see the wolf!
Little Taotie bursts out laughing: "Want chicken bones?" and casually grabs the foil package, which contains a pile of leftover chicken bones.
Big White Wolf doesn’t mind, bowing its head to gnaw on them.
When Little Taotie was at the Ancient Castle, Big White Wolf could always pick up some leftovers and didn’t have to work so hard to "earn a living." Since Little Taotie left, it has no choice but to "work" for food.
