I Think He and His Dog Both Like Me

When Ji Shu's husband died, she shut herself inside her home for a whole week, until a frantic knock at the door brought her child to her.

Her child with her husband.

So she pulled herself together and finally went out to look for work. But she'd left her previous job suddenly, and now she had a child to care for. In the end, the only job she could find was at a dog cafe.

The dog cafe's owner was named Jiang Zhou. He had a short temper and a sharp tongue, but he was a decent person and treated Ji Shu with great consideration.

Thanks to her patience and attention to detail, Ji Shu managed to keep working there. It was just that the owner's gaze seemed to grow more and more strange.

Jiang Zhou first met Ji Shu during a job interview. At the time, she wore a white dress and had a gentle air about her, completely unlike the puppies racing around his shop.

She was like a beautiful, unique painting.

Before she came along, the dog cafe had already gone through 98 employees. She was number 99.

Jiang Zhou had assumed Ji Shu would leave on her own, like all the others, unable to take it anymore. He never expected her to stick with the job.

And without realizing it, his gaze had settled on her.

He thought, if Ji Shu could put up with all these noisy dogs, then... maybe she could put up with his temper too?

That was, until he saw the timid child Ji Shu was holding by the hand.

Jiang Zhou thought he was done for. He'd fallen for her, and that was that.

So what if she had a child? If he could take good care of all these dogs, why should one more child scare him?

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine has had previous relationships, the hero has not. The heroine was married and has a child with her late ex-husband, who was her ideal man. The hero enters the picture later.

2. This is the story of the second male lead and second female lead from "Leave a Message If You Need Anything." This novel stands alone, so you don't need to have read the other one to enjoy it.
