"I won't give Goldie back to him. The 'son' naturally belongs to the mother when a couple separates. It's just common sense."

"And Goldie's father is not well-intentioned. Goldie is so handsome, but he insists on having Goldie neutered. Isn't that crazy?"

Nancy looked at me thoughtfully and said, "I can't say if he is crazy, but you definitely are."

I knew that Nancy was discussing the secret relationship between me and Emerson.

I was actually the one who pursued Emerson when we got together.

After knowing each other for a month, I lost a game at a classmate gathering.

I chose the big adventure.

I had to call a man I had been in contact with recently that time from my address book and confess my feelings to him, asking him to be my boyfriend.

The person I contacted most frequently at that time was Emerson.

I called him, told him I liked him, and asked him to be my boyfriend.

I didn't have a chance to say it was just a joke.

He replied, "Okay."

I still remember when I heard him say okay.

The alcohol wore off in an instant, leaving my heart racing uncontrollably.

Because I was afraid it was a dream, I didn't dare to sleep all night.

That was how we got together.

Because I was afraid, we would break up one day, so I never dared to let others know.

After all, we got together casually.

After spending a considerable amount of time together, I realized that he was sarcastic and candid.

Despite his good looks, a better-than-average figure, decent acting skills, and a wealthy background, he had no advantages at all.

He was not romantic at all, not even compared to Goldie.

So between Goldie and him, I chose Goldie.

Three days later, the first episode officially aired.

The entire program was conducted in the form of live broadcast.

Since the program group couldn't afford big-name celebrities, the first episode only featured me, the relatively unknown idol Dylan Camden, and the recently debuted singer Marquis Simpson.

Because I had been popular recently, a group of haters flooded into the live room as soon as the live broadcast started.

The program group asked us to introduce ourselves.

The first one was Dylan, who playfully greeted the audience through the camera.

"Hello everyone, I am Doodle's 'mom', Dylan Camden. Doodle is an adorable Samoyed. I hope you all like us."

Next was Marquis.

"Hello, everyone; I am Ballo's 'dad', Marquis Simpson. Ballo is a gentle and loyal Border Collie."

It was finally my turn.

"Hello, everyone; I am Goldie's 'mother', Cherry Levins."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the comments in the live broadcast room scrolling rapidly.

[Cherry, you stole the dog so brazenly. You must have a really thick skin, huh?]

[Quickly return Emerson's 'son', we will spare your life]

[Goldie? The name is so tacky, just like its 'mother'.]

I looked at the 64-inch big screen and smiled brightly.

"I don't know if I have a thick skin, but my face is definitely smaller than yours."

"Stealing my 'son' and giving it to someone else, you must be seriously ill. "

"This is the first time I've ever heard someone complain about money being tacky. It almost sounds like you don't value money at all."

I was the first one to argue with the audience during the live broadcast.

The entire production team grew concerned for me, with even Nancy supporting her forehead with one hand and pretending not to notice me.

I didn't indulge the netizens in the first episode and directly argued with them.

The show went viral.

I was trending on the hot search list again.

[Goldie's 'mother' angrily argues with netizens]

[Pet-themed Variety Show Episode 1, Goldie's 'mother' becomes prominent]

[When will Pet-themed Variety Show Episode 2 be aired?]

Nancy wore a worried expression, fearing that I would be terminated.

As a result, the producer laughed happily.

Even being hated could bring fame!

Anyway, as long as it could bring popularity to the show, the production team didn't care how it became popular.

After having a blast with Goldie in the first episode, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to record the second one.

The original plan was to air the show once a week, but on the fifth day, the production team called and said they were ready to start recording.

This time it was a two-day trip.

Nancy couldn't come with me this time because she had other work.

Before she left, she repeatedly reminded me not to cause any trouble.

I guarantee with Goldie's life that I will behave.

She mimed slicing her throat at Goldie, and in response, Goldie hung its head low, emitting a whimper.

It sounded pitiful.

Looking at the three-story villa before me, I sighed in my heart.

The production team was surprisingly generous this time.

The program started and the producer begins the process.

"Alright, welcome everyone to the live recording of Pet-themed Variety Show Episode 2."

"This time, we will have a two-day-one-night team building activity, where we hope to forge stronger connections and enjoy ourselves."

"This time, we will welcome two new members. Let's applaud and welcome the best actor, Emerson Gough, and his beloved pet."

The venue instantly erupted with enthusiastic applause, and I stood still in disbelief.

It wasn't until I saw Emerson's handsome face before me that I realized this fact.

I didn't dare look at Emerson because I stole his 'son'.

I suddenly felt like I was caught on the spot at the scene.

The netizens in the live broadcast room found that I was a little guilty.

[Listen, I told you Cherry must have taken this dog. Look at her, and she can't even look Emerson in the eye. She's clearly guilty.]

[With her appearance, she really looks guilty.]

[Hey, Cherry stopped arguing with people; she must feel guilty.]

The producer asked Emerson, "Emerson, why did you come to participate in our pet variety show?"

Emerson glanced at the producer with indifference and said, "Wasn't it you who invited me?"

The producer immediately broke into a cold sweat and thought, "But didn't you refuse?"

But he didn't dare to say that.

"Haha~ yes, is this your beloved pet? Can you introduce it to us? "

"Pearlie, sit down now!" Emerson barked at the Husky named Pearlie in a stern tone.

After Pearlie obediently sat down, Emerson spoke again. "Pearlie, one and a half years old, loves to steal things, loves to run away from home, has no merits."

The whole scene seemed to be muted, strangely quiet.

Because Emerson was looking at me when he said this.

But the people in the live broadcast room seemed to have not noticed and were still lively.

Because of Emerson's joining, the number of online viewers in the live broadcast room soared to five million at one point.

[Pearlie is indeed as good-looking as its 'dad', the dog raised by Emerson is different, even the name is so down-to-earth.]

[Haha! Loves to steal things, loves to run away from home, how can it be like a little princess!]

[Look, Emerson is a 'daughter' slave?]

Because I dared not look at Emerson, I kept watching the comments in the live broadcast room.

"This group of people is so judgmental, treating people differently based on who they are! My son's 'name' is Goldie, which sounds tacky, and Emerson's 'daughter' is called Pearlie, which is down-to-earth." I thought.

Woof woof~

I was so absorbed in reading the comments that I didn't hold the dog leash tightly, and Goldie ran straight toward Emerson.

Watching it running, I cursed silently in my heart, "Oh no."

I hurriedly caught up; I was really afraid that Goldie would pounce on Emerson, and then I would never be able to clear my name.

As a result, I was overthinking.

Goldie sat directly opposite Pearlie, opened his mouth, and drooled continuously.

This dog had forsaken his own 'mother' for the sake of beauty.

I was so angry that I went forward and put Goldie away, no, dragged it away.

Goldie couldn't move after seeing Pearlie.

The audience in the live broadcast room began causing a commotion as soon as they witnessed this scene.

[Scared me, I thought Goldie was going to pounce on Emerson! It turns out he wants to flirt with Pearlie, hahaha~]

[In this way, we have wronged Cherry, Goldie may not really be the stolen 'son' of Emerson.]

[Pfft~ Goldie is like his 'mother'; she can't move when seeing a handsome guy.]

[Goldie, let's not follow your mother's game of pushing and pulling. Instead, let's take the initiative and be proactive in love.]

[Goldie and Pearlie really look like a couple, even their names are similar.]

After I dragged Goldie back, I started to educate it,

"Goldie, don't let beauty blindfold you. Have you forgotten the wisdom passed down by our forefathers? That individual standing before you might just be a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

Goldie whimpered and wagged its tail as if protesting against me dragging it back.

"Pearlie, not all dogs are worth having. Some dogs may appear innocent but could be cunning foxes in disguise." Emerson's meaningful words floated lightly from the side.

I stole a sidelong glance toward Emerson, but my eyes met his frigid, menacing gaze, sending shivers down my spine and forcing me to divert my attention swiftly.

This time around, he's the one who chased after me.

In the live broadcast room,

[Does anyone else feel like there's something going on between Emerson and Cherry, one said wolf while the other said fox?]

[Yes, I have the same feeling. There seems to be a tense atmosphere between them.]

[Could there be some friction between these two?]

The producer saw that the live broadcast room's popularity was increasing, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to arrange some interesting activities for us, and he said, "Next, we will form teams of two for a pet competition. The winner will have the opportunity to have a candlelight dinner tonight. You can choose your own teammates."
