The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 923: Pushing One’s Luck

Huo Zijin: "Don’t say that! My mom is really good at naming. My name was given by her. Isn’t it nice?"

Li Junyan nodded: "It sounds nice."

Huo Zijin: "So..."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and patted Potato’s head.

Li Junyan, seeing through her shyness and awkwardness, gently patted her hair: "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore."

After speaking, he returned to his desk: "Go bring the meeting minutes over."

Qin Ye nodded.

Huo Zijin held Potato and sat down on the sofa.

Soon, she saw Qin Ye walking over with a thick stack of documents.

With a "bang".

The documents were placed on the table with a dull sound, seemingly weighty.

Li Junyan, as if used to it, casually took the meeting minutes and flipped through a few pages.

Whenever there was a crucial meeting without him, someone would prepare the minutes for him, and later, he would personally review them.

Huo Zijin yawned, found a comfortable position, and took a nap holding Potato.

Once she fell asleep, the dog beside her started getting restless.

Xiao Tudou poked its head out from her arm, looking around curiously.

Suddenly, it noticed something and stared intently in one direction.

Li Junyan was in the middle of checking financial reports when he suddenly heard a "howl".

He frowned, thinking Huo Zijin was playing with Xiao Tudou, but when he looked over, she was already asleep. A dog’s head just poked out from her arm and was staring straight at him, its tail wagging gently.

Li Junyan frowned and whispered, "Shush."

Unexpectedly, Potato thought he was calling it over, got excited, and leapt towards him—a leap of faith, landing in an awkward 180-degree position on the floor.

Luckily, the floor was carpeted, so it didn’t hurt much.

Li Junyan frowned slightly.

The reason he didn’t like dogs was...

Many dogs he had encountered behaved like they were seriously ill.

He saw the little guy lightly wagging its tail, wiggling its bottom as it walked to his feet, and pawed at his pant leg.

Li Junyan glared at it, picked it up by the scruff, and held it at eye level.

But somehow, the little guy didn’t seem afraid of him. Maybe it had gotten used to the environment and already regarded this place as its territory.

Thus, it showed no sign of fear whatsoever.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Li Junyan recalled how the little guy had misbehaved in his office and was about to lose his temper, but seeing Huo Zijin asleep, he had to suppress it and casually put the puppy down.

Just then—

"Woof."

Xiao Tudou suddenly let out a crisp bark at him.

Li Junyan was startled, quickly covering its mouth, speaking quietly, "Quiet!"

Potato was forced to look at him, its eyes wide and innocent.

Li Junyan: "Can’t you see she’s sleeping? If you wake her up, watch out, I’ll smack you."

Xiao Tudou tilted its head, seemingly not understanding him.

Li Junyan put it on the ground, lightly nudging its rear: "Go play somewhere else."

Xiao Tudou immediately scampered off.

Not long after, Li Junyan felt something tugging at his pant leg.

He glanced under the table.

At some point, Xiao Tudou had returned to his feet, biting his trouser leg, tugging furiously.

He felt his blood pressure rising instantly.

He retracted his leg, and due to inertia, the little guy lost balance and fell awkwardly backward.

But it quickly got up, nudging his pant leg again, using its paws to paw at it.

Li Junyan gently nudged it aside: "Don’t bother me."

Feeling neglected, Potato sat on the floor, whining pitifully.

"Howl..."

"Howl!"

The cries sounded so mournful, as if accusing him of being heartless, yet also pleading for him to play with it.

Li Junyan finally grew impatient, picking it up and placing it on his lap.

This way, it stopped whining, finding a comfortable spot on him, slowly probing, then curling up into a ball.

Seeing the man remain still, it went a step further, crawling into his suit jacket.

The office was air-conditioned.

Clearly, it felt cold.

Li Junyan’s face had gone dark with bewilderment.

It was really taking things too far, treating his lap like its dog bed.

The entire afternoon, he couldn’t focus on work, as this silly dog always seemed to find a way to annoy him.

So, when Qin Ye walked in, he was slightly surprised at seeing Li Junyan looking so dark while sitting at his desk.

"Boss..."

Li Junyan was evidently in a particularly bad mood.

Qin Ye walked over, seeing the little dog, oblivious to everything, sleeping belly up in his lap, utterly content!

Oh my!

This dog is aiming for the skies, isn’t it?

Everyone knew the boss’s notorious cleanliness.

Now, he was actually allowing a dog to romp around in his lap?

The funniest part...

The dog was not only asleep belly up, but it was also dreaming, its hind leg occasionally twitching, kicking against Li Junyan’s shirt.

Qin Ye was utterly speechless.

He muttered, "Boss, don’t you dislike dogs?"

Li Junyan: "I do dislike them."

Qin Ye stepped forward and picked up Potato.

Xiao Tudou finally woke up, yawning with its tongue curled.

By that time.

Huo Zijin finally woke up too, rubbing her sleepy eyes with one hand and feeling around with the other: "Where’s Potato?"

Qin Ye said: "Miss Huo, your Potato is here."

Huo Zijin looked toward the sound.

Qin Ye was standing beside Li Junyan, holding little Potato in his arms, waving its paw at her.

Outside the window, the afternoon sun gently bathed Li Junyan, making his face appear somewhat blurry due to the play of light and shadow.

Huo Zijin came to and checked the time on her phone.

Unexpectedly, she had napped straight through to the afternoon.

"Oh no."

Huo Zijin sighed: "Now I won’t be able to sleep tonight."

Qin Ye: "Have some coffee, fight poison with poison."

Huo Zijin smiled and stood up, walking over to take Potato from his arms. The little guy, just having woken up, snuggled into her arms and started licking her face.

Qin Ye: "It’s so affectionate."

Huo Zijin: "What was it doing while I was asleep?"

Li Junyan: "It was bothering me."
