AMRWFA -Chapter 100 The “Dog Snatching” Plan

【Li Tingting’s reaction is way too extreme—there must be something going on. Maybe she’s known all along that the dog is unusual.】

【Maybe she knows the dog is actually Xiu Ming.】

Everyone was shocked: No way, right?

But thinking about how Xiu Ming had completely ignored Li Tingting before, given the heroine’s “nature,” they really couldn’t be sure.

“Judging by Li Tingting’s attitude, she definitely doesn’t want to give the dog back. Now what?” Ruan Yaoyao looked at them, confused. She didn’t understand why she had to attend a meeting when her task was already complete.

【Could it be that they think with me here, it’ll be easier to ‘get’ the dog?】

Ruan Yaoyao felt a moment of sympathy for the golden retriever’s real owner.

【It was someone else’s dog to begin with… now it’s become official daddy’s.】

Ru Anzhi said, “Regardless of whether she’s willing, as long as Xiu Ming himself agrees, we need to find a way to gain custody of the dog. Only then can we ensure Xiu Ming’s safety and further rescue him.”

“So, have you found a Taoist to return him to his body?” Ruan Yaoyao asked, curious. She really wanted to know if such miraculous powers existed in this world.

【I’m already so miraculous—surely the Taoists and monks from online novels should show up too, right?】

【Wonder if we’ll get the chance to witness it.】

“Still searching!” In reality, so far they hadn’t found anyone truly capable.

Ru Anzhi glanced at his mother.

Except for his mother!

Then they discussed the next step of the “dog snatching” plan. Since Li Tingting wasn’t willing to negotiate peacefully, they had no choice but to go “hard.”

Very simple: when Li Tingting goes out to “walk the dog,” they would “steal” it.

【Oh ho~】

【So Dad isn’t that…】

Before Ruan Yaoyao could finish her inner commentary, Ru Anzhi, who knew her well, quickly called out, “Mom.”

“Why so loud? You scared me!” Ruan Yaoyao patted her chest, frowning.

You scared me! How dare you complain about ‘Dad’ in your head! Ru Anzhi said expressionlessly, “Mom, your task will be, once we rescue this dog, to take it home and spend a few days with it.”

“Ah? You want me to raise the dog for you? If it were an ordinary dog, no problem. Our yard’s big, it can run around freely. But this dog…” Ruan Yaoyao said, “there’s a person inside it. Are you sure this is okay?”

【Should I treat it like a human or a dog?】

【Feed it dog food, or feed it a proper meal?】

Ruan Yaoyao’s expression was genuinely concerned. Ru Anzhi couldn’t say her worry was unreasonable. He said, “…Then prepare one portion of food and one portion of dog food, and let it choose.”

If they weren’t currently unable to return Xiu Ming’s soul to his body, they wouldn’t have resorted to such a measure.

Placing it with his mother—his family knew the situation—was certainly safer than leaving it outside.

And so, their “dog snatching plan” began.

Whether it was fate playing tricks or Li Tingting sensing something, in the following days she didn’t take the dog out at all. She didn’t even go to work, staying home to accompany it.

Nan Pengyou was going crazy.

Ah… every day facing someone who doesn’t gaze at you with affection, only resentment, as if you’re a faithless person—can a dog stay sane?

The worst part? She was unpredictable and would cry in front of him.

“Nan Pengyou…”

A faint voice came from nearby. He turned his head and saw Li Tingting, hair disheveled, squatting in front of him like a ghost.

Li Tingting sobbed, “Wuwuwu… I can’t bear to part with you!”

Nan Pengyou went numb: Here we go again!

You’re trying to ‘rescue’ me—just get me out! Leaving things halfway like this is torture!

Come on, someone, please!

Dogs have feelings too!

“I’m sorry, I really can’t return you to your previous owner. I really, really need you…”

“Nan Pengyou, don’t hate me!”

“I really like you!”

“You’re like family to me, one of the most important beings in my life. Without you, I can’t even imagine my life.”

“Do you know? You’re really, really important to me.”

…

You’ve said this a million times already—stop! Nan Pengyou barked twice, pleading.

But to Li Tingting, those two barks sounded like agreement. She beamed, thinking she had succeeded.

Then she pulled out a contract, intending to have him press his paw to guarantee he would never leave her.

For some reason, Nan Pengyou felt he couldn’t sign it. Once signed, it seemed he’d truly never be able to leave her in this lifetime.

So, when Li Tingting turned to fetch the ink pad, Nan Pengyou ran.

He ran from the living room to the bedroom and locked the door from the inside.

“Nan Pengyou?”

“Nan Pengyou, what’s wrong?”

“Why did you close the door? Open it!”

Nan Pengyou stared at the door, alert, unsure if Li Tingting had a spare key.

She didn’t—but she called 119, claiming “Nan Pengyou” had locked himself in the bedroom, and they needed police assistance.

“What?! Your boyfriend locked himself in the room, and you can’t get in?”

“Yes! I knocked many times, but he didn’t respond. I don’t know what’s wrong; he looks bad and upset. Please hurry—I’m afraid something will happen!”

“Please provide the address.”

“Okay, our address is…”

“Repeat the address, please.”

“Yes, exactly this address.”

“Is your phone charged? Please stay on the line. I’ve contacted the team; they’ll be there soon. They may reach out to you directly.”

“Okay, my phone has power. I’ll stay at the door. Please hurry. I’m really worried!”

Hearing Li Tingting’s sobs, the kind dispatcher comforted her, assuring her everything would be fine.

Nan Pengyou inside the room was horrified.

He barked several times, trying to stop them.

But no one understood; they thought Li Tingting owned a dog and were trying to redirect her attention.

No, I’m the one who shouldn’t be overthought!

I’m a dog, not a human!

And definitely not her ‘boyfriend’!

At that moment, Nan Pengyou wanted to beat up the part of himself that had woken up thinking he was a “dog,” and was secretly happy to hear her call him “Nan Pengyou” and thought he could really be her boyfriend.

Was he an idiot?!

Who in their right mind calls a dog their boyfriend?

Unfortunately, he could do nothing but watch as the fire truck approached. Orange-uniformed firefighters “soothed” him outside, telling him to open the door, saying his girlfriend cared about him, even if they had quarrels, he shouldn’t lock himself in—the girl outside was crying from worry…

Li Tingting outside was indeed crying—but the problem was…

I answered! Why is no one listening?

“You see how good your girlfriend is? She really loves you!”

“Woof! Woof!”

“See, your dog is worried too, barking for a while—maybe it’s hungry. Open the door and let it out?”

“Woof! Woof!”

“Mr. Nan, speak up! If you don’t, we’ll break the door.”

“Woof! Woof!”
