How Much Longer Until the Puppy Comes Back?

A short, sweet springtime treat.

Cool, obsessive bottom x straightforward, jealous pursuer

CEO x college student

Younger man, one-year age gap

One day, Ning Zhenqing was sitting in the flower shop as usual.

The young man he barely knew came to see him again.

"I'm here to buy flowers."

"I don't sell them," Ning Zhenqing answered honestly.

"You own a flower shop and don't sell flowers?" Pei Yujing asked, his voice full of laughter.

"That's right. I'm waiting for someone."

Later, the Ning and Pei families arranged a business marriage, and Ning Zhenqing and Pei Yujing signed an agreement to live together.

As they spent more time together, Ning Zhenqing unexpectedly learned from a painting one day that Pei Yujing had been lying to him all along. He was the person Ning Zhenqing had been waiting for...

Reader's guide:

1. The bottom has depression, but recovers later in the bonus chapters.

2. Both leads have only ever loved each other, and they help and support one another.

3. A sweet story. The post-marriage bonus chapters make up a large portion of the book, full of clingy everyday moments with little plot.

Thanks to @Gulugulu for the character art, and to @Jiaozi Dawang for the couple portrait.
