How to Raise a Bratty Beagle

When Fu Yanchuan was fifteen, his parents died.

His relatives swarmed in like vultures, shedding crocodile tears while blaming him for his parents' deaths.

He held on to his younger brother, who was sobbing so hard he could barely breathe, and stood at the funeral like a silent wall.

After raising his brother and watching him take over their parents' company,

Fu Yanchuan finally let himself fall apart.

He left the bustling city and hid away in the countryside, planning to pick a day to disappear quietly.

Then his younger brother handed him a beagle.

"This is Yiran, big brother." His brother solemnly placed the leash in his palm. "He's very well-behaved."

...Well-behaved, my ass.

The dog did nothing but wreck the house and howl, forcing Fu Yanchuan to put off his plans again and again:

When he tried to jump into the river, the beagle followed him in to play, fell into the water first, and thrashed around, yelping for help. Fu Yanchuan had no choice but to fish him out, soaking wet, then take him home amid a barrage of impatient barks and sneezes.

When he tried to swallow pills, the dog snatched the bottle and shook his ears furiously, as if angry that Fu Yanchuan was eating without sharing.

The dog chewed the house to pieces, and after a once-in-a-century rainstorm, the place was an even bigger wreck.

The dog squeezed into his arms, trembling, its black eyes glistening with tears. Fu Yanchuan had no choice but to move back to the city.

Just as he'd finally settled in, the dog suddenly turned into a person.

He was so shocked he couldn't get a word out.

The irritable teenager with tousled black hair and sharp canine teeth seized the moral high ground first. "I just grew up, and I look a little different now. Does that mean you won't keep me anymore? What kind of person takes someone in and then abandons them?"

Fu Yanchuan: "..."

What the hell do you mean, "grew up"?

Even as a human, the dog still caused trouble every day.

And when Fu Yanchuan offered a kind reminder, he flew into a rage. "Other people call their dogs 'baby' so sweetly. Why are you always so mean to me? Are you trying to make me run away from home?!"

"..." Fu Yanchuan could only apologize softly and soothe him.

Fu Yanchuan put up with him, again and again, giving ground at every turn.

At last, he found a way to keep Pei Yiran quiet.

As long as the boy was worn out the night before, Fu Yanchuan could enjoy half a day of peace.

Coming soon: Little Peacock

With a test report showing a 100% match, the Yan family latched onto the Yan family and secured a marriage contract with the Yan family.

Yan Qingling is cold and aloof, and a workaholic to boot.

Half a month into their marriage, Yan Li has seen him only once, on the day they registered.

Yan Li finally accepts that his husband will never love him.

Heartbroken, he can only comfort himself by shopping with his husband's credit card.

Yan Li has grown used to living alone in a chilly, cavernous mansion.

He never expected to start seeing Yan Qingling more and more often.

Leaning against Yan Qingling, he squeezes out a couple of tears and says in a muffled voice, "Honey, I don't want money. I want lots and lots of love."

Yan Qingling gently strokes the crown of his head. "All right."

That was nothing like the answer Yan Li had imagined.

He freezes.

Then he tugs at Yan Qingling's sleeve and reminds him in a tiny voice, "...Honey, but I can't have no money at all."

-

Yan Qingling is busy with work and rarely has the time to pay attention to Yan Li beyond sending him money.

At a dinner, he hears a business partner praise him: "President Yan really proves the saying, 'A man who loves his wife will prosper.'"

Only then does he realize he hasn't been fulfilling his responsibilities as a husband.

His business partner shows him Yan Li's social media posts.

[I've always thought it was perfectly normal for my husband to buy me a ring. It's just a limited-edition ring available worldwide, so there's no need to compare. Just be yourself.]

[Twenty-three years old. No help from my parents, no help from myself. My husband paid in full for the entire Dream collection from D'sᗜ֊ᗜ]

[There are so many kinds of happiness. Getting a necklace from my husband is one of them o(*////▽////*)q]

His feed is filled with glittering jewelry.

Yan Qingling suddenly feels like laughing.

Like a little peacock.
