Chapter 649: 635, The word bitten by a dog (3)_1 Chapter 649: 635, The word bitten by a dog (3)_1 Snowball, shaking its fluffy head, was occupied with eating beef jerky and carelessly nodded in response to Jian Qing’s words.

Seeing Snowball’s non-resistance, Jian Qing raised a satisfied smile.

She picked up the scissors, measuring them against Snowball’s head, contemplating what kind of haircut would suit it best.

After a while, a light sparkled in her eyes as she suddenly had an idea.

She stroked a tuft of fur on Snowball’s head, and then picked up the scissors and started to trim its hair.

In the quiet room, the “Click click” sound of the scissors echoed from time to time, inciting an inexplicable unease.

When Quan Jingwu finished dealing with his files and came looking for her, he saw this scene as soon as he entered the room.

On the carpet, Snowball was gnawing on some beef jerky while his wife was holding a pair of scissors, deftly trimming Snowball’s fur.

She was so immersed in her work that she didn’t even notice him standing in the doorway.

Quan Jingwu leaned against the door frame, watching the noticeably reduced fur on Snowball’s fluffy head. His scarlet lips curved into a charming smile.

The soft laughter wafted in the air, causing Jian Qing to look towards the source.

“Xiaojing!”

Noticing that she had spotted him, Quan Jingwu advanced towards her and took a seat by her side.

“What are you doing?”

Jian Qing wobbled the scissors in her hand and cheerfully said, “Designing a new hairstyle for Snowball.”

Quan Jingwu looked at the fur on the carpet, then turned to look at Snowball’s head. Its originally thick fur was now nearly halved and even had a peculiar “artistic feel” to it.

Upon a closer look, one could see that she had seemingly randomly chopped away, but the fur on its forehead clearly formed a “二” character.

He stifled a laugh, picked up the scissors from her hand, and set them aside. He then reminded her amusingly, “Honey, we’re raising a wolf here.”

What has a Snow Wolf got to do with the character ‘二’?

Jian Qing nodded, “I know.”

“Then what about this?” Quan Jingwu reached out to touch the “二” character she had snipped on Snowball’s them, the laughter in his eyes deepening.

“It looks awe-inspiring.” She chuckled cunningly.

Actually, what she wanted to say was that it looked sillier and cuter, but well, she had to blow her own trumpet about her artistry.

“Are you sure?” Quan Jingwu looked at her with his eyes slightly downturned and his voice slightly hoarse.

Jian Qing glanced at her masterpiece on Snowball’s head and affirmed with a nod.

“Certainly. Don’t you think it looks good?”

Quan Jingwu was utterly indulgent with his wife, “Of course it looks good when you are the one who snipped it.”

Jian Qing, pleased with his response, laughed.

“I certainly believe so too.”

Quan Jingwu nearly burst into laughter looking at her proud little eyes.

“Snowball, stop eating for a bit and check out your new hairstyle,” Jian Qing removed the little beef jerky left and patted Snowball.

“Go to look in that mirror over there.”

Seeing Jian Qing pointing at the full-length mirror not far away, Snowball didn’t hesitate and scurried over with nimble steps.

Looking at its reflection in the mirror, Snowball leaned in closer to the mirror with its head. As soon as it saw the new style on its forehead, its dark eyes dilated.

Howl–

What on earth did the beauty do to it?

Where is its dignity as the purebred Snow Wolf King?

It turned around and ran back, howling at Jian Qing.

“Howl–”

Oh beauty, how could you do this to me?

Jian Qing, noticing the reproachful look in Snowball’s eyes, hid herself beside Quan Jingwu.

“What say, Snowball, are you unhappy with this new hairstyle?”

Such an unappreciative taste.

Snowball took a step forward, continuing to howl.

“Howl, howl–”

Beauty is bad, tricking it with beef jerky was not a nice thing. What happened to the promise of love?

“Snowball, don’t be angry. I can trim it a bit more for you, I promise it will be to your liking.” Jian Qing, felt quite embarrassed as she was being stared down by its resentful black eyes, and offered sweetly.

Quan Jingwu wrapped his arms around her and looked into Snowball’s eyes, speaking eerily. “Snowball, if you don’t want to be bald, run away with your beef jerky now.”

Bald?

It couldn’t stand for that. Snowball wouldn’t let it happen.

Snowball, feeling wronged, bit onto the beef jerky, turned around, and dashed away.

“Snowball, come back. Let me trim it a bit more for you,” Jian Qing shouted after it, unfazed.

Quan Jingwu protected her with his arms to prevent her from bumping into anything.

“Sweetie, spare Snowball for now. Don’t torture it anymore.”

Jian Qing nestled back in his arms, tugging at his collar, “What do you mean by me torturing it? Didn’t you just say that it looks good when I do it?”

“…”

The “二” character that seemed chewed upon by a dog – would it be unjust to Snowball if he lied about it?

“Doesn’t it look good, then?” she interrogated.

Quan Jingwu arched his dark eyebrows, choosing to flatter his wife first. “It looks good, of course, it looks good. You wouldn’t even know that this is your first time trimming hair.”

“Who said it’s my first time trimming hair.” Jian Qing shook her head and, recalling something, let out a giggle.

He quirked his lips, “Then, who was the first?”

Jian Qing said, “Luoluo.”

Initially, she had a sudden whim and wanted to practice on Bai Jue, but he managed to escape. At that time, Black Jack wasn’t in M Country, so she settled for her brother as a guinea pig.

Turns out it was her brother-in-law.

Quan Jingwu chuckled in realization. “Did he cry?”

“I don’t think he did.” Jian Qing tipped her head and laughed. “However, he did wear a hat for more than a month.”

Without having to see it, Quan Jingwu could easily imagine the hairstyle she gave Jian Luo just by looking at Snowball’s new style.

“Xiaojing, what do you think if I cut our baby’s hair after they are born?” Jian Qing tilted her head back and asked.

Quan Jingwu’s lips twitched. He raised his hand to pinch her cheek, “Sweetie, let’s have a professional hairstylist trim our baby’s hair.”

See? He was a considerate father indeed.

“Don’t you like my handiwork?” Jian Qing pouted, discontented.

Quan Jingwu retorted, “No, it’s just that kids can be quite wriggly. Trimming their hair would be quite challenging for you. I don’t want you to tire out.”

“Really?”

“Of course it is. When our child is born, you’ll be focusing all your attention on them. What about me then? Didn’t you promise that I would always remain your number one and our child will be your second priority?” His jealousy became increasingly apparent in his tone as he spoke.

Jian Qing teased him, “Then, I’ll trim your hair too.”

“…”

Remembering Snowball’s new ‘do, Quan Jingwu instinctively resisted.

However, when he looked at her beaming eyes, he realized he couldn’t say no.

Jian Qing chuckled softly. With both hands, she rubbed his face, “Just kidding, my Xiaojing has to stay handsome.”

At that, Quan Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a ringtone sounded from their phones.

Jian Qing took it out from her pocket, glanced at the strange number on the screen, her pupils flickering slightly.

“Who is it?”

Quan Jingwu’s jaw rested on her shoulder as he briefly glanced at the ringing phone.

“I don’t know.”

She shook her head and pressed the accept button.

“Who’s speaking?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Just as Jian Qing was losing her patience and about to hang up, a man’s gentle voice came through.

“Jian Qing!”
