Chapter 770: A Surprise
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Tingrui opened the door and went in.
He had changed the security code to prevent his father from bringing Goofy here. In hindsight, it had been wise of him to do it.
Huo Tingrui sighed as he turned on the light switch on the wall.
The moment he turned on the light, the darkness disappeared and Goofy’s chubby form came into sight. Huo Tingrui was initially feeling relaxed but then he suddenly froze.
Oh G.o.d! Were his eyes playing tricks on him?
What was the stupid dog doing here?
Before he could wrap his mind around it, Goofy came lunging at him. For the past two days, he kept leaping at people and biting at their heels to express his feelings towards them.
Huo Tingrui turned ghastly pale from the shock. He kept trembling and stood stiffly leaning against the door without daring to move a muscle. He did his utmost to suppress the urge to kick the dog for biting on his pant leg.
“Can you cut it out first?” Huo Tingrui was on the brink of tears as he attempted to communicate with Goofy.
Goofy tilted his head sideways as he looked at his father with his big, bright, brown eyes. After staying quiet for two seconds, he started rubbing against Huo Tingrui’s legs again and bit his legs gently when Huo Tingrui refused to touch him.
Huo Tingrui inhaled deeply in shock.
How could anything as scary as a dog exist in the world? All of them should die.
Huo Tingrui was exhausted as he kept getting chased by Goofy all night while he ‘bonded’ with his son.
He simply did not get it. He had already changed his pa.s.sword. How could his father have secretly brought the dog over?
He wanted to call and ask, but promptly lost courage when he remembered what his little sister said in her text message earlier.
No matter how puzzled he was, he had to swallow his curiosity.
Huo Tingrui looked at the stupid dog lying at the foot of his bed on the carpet. It had finally stopped moving at around 3:00 am. He lay on his back on the bed and looked like he wanted to die.
He could not go on living with the dog like this every day. It was out of question to send the dog home, so he took out his phone and called his a.s.sistant even though it was in the middle of the night.

His a.s.sistant pressed the doorbell first thing in the morning.
Huo Tingrui answered the door with dark circles beneath his eyes, looking like a panda. His hair was completely disheveled. He did not seem as well-groomed as he did in the office.
His a.s.sistant could not believe his eyes. “Mr. Huo, what’s wrong?”
Huo Tingrui yawned as he raised his hand listlessly and interrupted. “Don’t ask.”
The a.s.sistant’s lips twitched. His boss had called him in the middle of the night, so he a.s.sumed Huo Tingrui had some urgent work matter for him to take care of. However, Huo Tingrui ended up asking about how to handle a dog.
Huo Tingrui took the dog leash from the cabinet and handed it to his a.s.sistant as he pointed at his room and said, “The dog is inside my room. Go and get him.”
The a.s.sistant quietly glanced at Huo Tingrui. After taking the dog leash, the a.s.sistant could not resist asking. “What kind of dog is it? Why are you so scared?”
Huo Tingrui pulled his disheveled hair as he said deeply, “It’s a husky!”
“Erm… though they tend to be a little bigger, one would hardly call them ferocious creatures, right?” said the a.s.sistant in shock.
Last night when his boss called him, he sounded as though there was a Tibetan mastiff in his apartment.
“Stop talking and just make him leave.” Huo Tingrui pressed his forehead. He felt he would have trouble breathing if the dog stayed here for even a second longer.
The a.s.sistant promptly shut up and turned to enter the room.
The moment he opened the door, he was greeted by an adorable puppy sitting by the door and was stunned.
