Because I was busy with work and Huanhuan had a distant personality, we weren't very close.
I took a step forward, bent down, and reached out to hug Huanhuan. " Huanhuan, come here."
But Huanhuan quickly darted behind Liu Lan, revealing only her round, sparkling eyes to me.
I felt a bit disappointed.
So, Huanhuan and Liu Lan were that close after all.
Liu Lan seemed a bit smug.
She set Huanhuan down and turned to Xiao An. "A An, I'm leaving."
Xiao An replied coldly, "Goodbye, no need to see you off."
After Liu Lan left, I finally asked Xiao An, "Did you really come back today just to get the documents?"
Xiao An said, "Zhou Yun, I've broken up with her. The person I love now is you. Don't you have any confidence?"
I wanted to say that I lacked confidence.
But the words wouldn't come out.
Xiao An sighed lightly.
"I was just putting on a show for Liu Lan earlier. I wanted her to see my happy life now. I have to thank her for abandoning me; otherwise, I wouldn't have met you."
He looked at me intensely and said, "Zhou Yun, I love you."
The way he said it seemed quite reasonable.
Yet, I still felt an underlying unease in my heart.
After that day, everything returned to normal.
Xiao An and Liu Lan had no contact and did not meet again.
I also convinced myself not to overthink things. I am Xiao An's girlfriend, and Liu Lan is just his ex-girlfriend, an insignificant person.
However, a week later, I received a video at the office. The video was sent by Xiao An from the pet hospital. In it, Huanhuan was covered in blood, barely alive, lying on the operating table. Liu Lan was beside her, crying uncontrollably.
"Ah An, I'm so sorry. It's my fault for not taking good care of Huanhuan that Jianjian bit her like this," she sobbed.
Xiao An's voice was low and heavy: "What about Zhou Yun? Does she know about this? She needs to keep an eye on her dog from now on. If something like this happens again, I won't let her off."
My heart felt as if it were being squeezed by a hand. Xiao An had never spoken to me like that before. Every time we argued, regardless of whether it was my fault or not, he would always comfort me immediately until my anger subsided.
In the video, Liu Lan cried even harder. Xiao An gently reassured her: "Alright, stop crying now; be careful not to hurt your eyes." Huanhuan lay on the operating table, meowing pitifully, and the sound tightened my chest.
Liu Lan continued to cry, "Ah An, I'm so scared. What if Huanhuan dies?"
Xiao An softly comforted her: "She won't die; Huanhuan is very resilient. She'll be fine."
The two of them—one crying and the other comforting—were in perfect harmony, like a pair of lovers, while I felt like an outsider. It wasn't until the end of the video that Xiao An finally said something to me:
"Zhou Yun, either you send the dog away, or you leave yourself."
I turned off my phone.
I couldn't quite describe how I felt inside. It was just ironic. I wouldn't send Jianjian away, nor would I leave Xiao An, so I could only pretend I hadn't seen that video.
The phone rang again. It was a call about confirming the menu for the Engagement Banquet next week.
I sighed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, but the Engagement Banquet is canceled."
As soon as I arrived at the office, I received a message from Xiao An.
"Zhou Yun, take a day off to pick up Huanhuan from the vet."
I stared at the screen for a long time. Was he trying to force me to go to the pet hospital?
I smirked and directly asked for leave to go home, then checked the surveillance footage. I wanted to see how Jianjian had bitten Huanhuan.
I didn't go to the pet hospital. I stayed at home all day.
In the evening, Xiao An called me, but I didn't answer. He sent me a text: "Zhou Yun, stop messing around and come pick Huanhuan up."
I stared at the message for a long time, images of Huanhuan lying on the operating table flashing through my mind. A wave of bitterness surged within me.
