Chapter 423: Chapter 423: The Scarf You Knit for Me? _1


    “Pili, I thought I would never see you again, but now you’re back!” Yan Yue squatted down with excitement, reaching out to stroke Pili’s neck.


    Pili squinted its eyes delightfully, enjoying her touch as it snuggled its sturdy body against her.


    Auntie Lee awkwardly explained to Jian Yufei, “Miss Jian, in fact, Pili was a birthday gift that Miss Yan gave to our young master when he turned eighteen.”


    “Oh,” Jian Yufei replied lightly, without any significant response.


    Mistaking her apathy for displeasure, Auntie Lee added, “When everyone believed Miss Yan had died, even Pili was aware of Miss Yan’s ‘death’. Pili refused to eat or drink and almost died. During that time, our young master was too busy to take care of it, so he gave Pili to a dog-loving friend to take care of it. This arrangement lasted for several years.”


    As soon as Auntie Lee’s voice trailed off, Yan Yue suddenly turned to look at them.


    Her gaze was fixed on Jian Yufei, her mouth forming a proud and boastful smile.


    She was flaunting how close her relationship with Pili was.


    Jian Yufei almost laughed. Proud of having a good relationship with a dog? Seriously?


    Yan Yue approached them, and asked Auntie Lee authoritatively, “When did you bring Pili back?”


    “Just a few days ago.”


    “Did Ling personally bring it back?”


    Ruan Tianling headed upstairs in long strides. As he opened the door to their bedroom, he saw Jian Yufei sitting on the couch knitting something.


    He sat down beside her, watched her hands for a while, then asked, “What is this? A scarf for me?”


    “...”


    “I remember you promised to knit a scarf for me.”


    Jian Yufei looked puzzled and Ruan Tianling, with a stern look, said, “Don’t tell me you forgot!”


    “When did I promise you?”


    “Before grandfather’s birthday last year.”


    Jian Yufei finally remembered. She had knitted a scarf as a birthday gift for her grandfather. Ruan Tianling also asked her to knit one for him.


    But at that time, he didn’t specifically ask her to knit for him, so she just played dumb and pretended not to understand his intentions.


    Lowering her eyes, she continued to knit, “I don’t remember making a promise.”


    “Jian Yufei, are you trying to back out?”


    “Who’s backing out?”


    “You clearly promised me!” Ruan Tianling persisted. He was adamant that her agreeing in his memory meant that she had made a promise.
