After school, Si Yiyan’s assistant Gu Yuehan sent Wen Xinya to Lishan Mansion. She had been skipping music, chess, and painting lessons for a long time ever since Si Yiyan returned. Fortunately, her grampy did not chide her or tick her off. He merely reminded her not to neglect her studies and that he would be giving her a test in the future.
Wen Xinya gently pushed the door of the study open and tiptoed inside to see that Si Yiyan was having a video conference. Upon sight of her, he waved at her before resuming the conference.
Wen Xinya instantly knew what he had meant. He meant to tell her that he would still take a long while and that she could make herself at home.
Wen Xinya picked up an ancient book and lied down on the couch to read it leisurely. However, she could not focus on it at all and would steal glances at him every now and then. He exuded charming confidence and had a formidable aura as if he had the world beneath his feet.
She listened attentively while he spoke fluently in Russian. She often found the Russian language to be posh and domineering, due to the heavy intonations and emphasis on tone changes.


Wen Xinya slowly sunk into a trance.
She started to think that she was getting a little too man-crazy. She then put down her book and left the study.
Wen Xinya began strolling casually in the yard. All of a sudden, she heard the sounds of a dog barking. Her heart dropped and she instinctively looked in the direction of the noises.
A 75-centimeter-tall reddish-brown Tibetan Mastiff was sitting on the ground, appearing majestic, proud, and menacing. It was staring at her and sitting still like a statue. It looked extremely ferocious and intimidating…
Wen Xinya turned pale and a cold shiver went down her spine. She instinctively took a step back…
The Tibetan Mastiff suddenly looked up and began walking towards Wen Xinya, after which it opened its mouth and revealed rows of jagged and sharp teeth that were like shiny blades.
It made a low, rumbling noise that was loud enough to penetrate her eardrums. Frightened out of her wits, Wen Xinya quivered uncontrollably and her legs turned into jelly.
Don’t… don’t come near me. I didn’t mean to disturb you on purpose. I… I’ll leave right away!
she spluttered, her lips trembling uncontrollably.
The Tibetan Mastiff stood up again.

Ah!
Wen Xinya shrieked and froze in fear, greatly intimidated by the Tibetan Mastiff’s actions. She quickly took flight and sprinted away at godlike speed.
The Tibetan Mastiff let out a ferocious roar and began chasing Wen Xinya.



Don’t… don’t come any closer!
Wen Xinya frantically turned her head behind while running away, only to discover that the Tibetan Mastiff was chasing her. Seeing that it was almost catching up with her, she picked up speed and darted away.
The Tibetan Mastiff chased Wen Xinya around the mansion, stopping to roar at her every now and then while she sprinted away with all her might. It was as if she was chased by a wolf instead of a dog.
Si Yiyan began looking for her the moment he heard the noises after his video conference.

Ah… Si Yiyan, help me!
Wen Xinya yelled at the top of her voice, as pale as a sheet. She began sprinting towards Si Yiyan as if he was her only savior.
However, the Tibetan Mastiff stopped in its tracks and leaped towards her…

Stop!
Si Yiyan hollered at the Tibetan Mastiff with a sullen expression on his face.
The Tibetan Mastiff followed his instructions and stopped before lying down beside him.
Wen Xinya was finally out of danger. Her legs became wobbly and she fell onto the ground, panting heavily and trying to catch her breath. She was both pale and flushed while blood surged through her veins.
Si Yiyan was shocked to see how pale she had gotten. He hurriedly walked towards her and squatted down beside her.
Xinya, are you alright? Did Cleopatra bully you?

Wen Xinya’s pounding heart ricocheted vigorously against her chest. She pouted her lips and began bawling like a child at the thought of what happened earlier on.



Xinya, don’t cry. Cleopatra was just mischievous and trying to play with you. It didn’t intend to harm you at all,
said Si Yiyan, who had never seen her weeping so terribly before. He was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

Si Yiyan, you jerk. Why did you suddenly place a Tibetan Mastiff in the yard? I won’t dare to come here anymore from now on…
She rebuked while sobbing, punching his chest and pinching him.

Don’t be scared. Cleopatra was just kidding. He won’t hurt you,
said Si Yiyan, who suddenly realized that she had a fear of dogs. He continued to pat her back in an attempt to comfort her while she vented her emotions on him.

You’re lying. He clearly showed me his teeth and chased me around the yard while barking at me menacingly.
Wen Xinya protested, throwing a tantrum like a child.
Si Yiyan explained,
It was just greeting you and it chased you because it liked you and wanted to play with you. It barked to express its excitement. It won’t hurt you. Otherwise, he would have caught up to you in no time.


But, it looked so fierce and intimidating!
Wen Xinya exclaimed in terror. She finally began to look less pale. She was grabbing onto Si Yiyan’s shirt for dear life, for fear that the Tibetan Mastiff would charge at her the moment she let go.

Cleopatra is just a very gentle Tibetan Mastiff. It just looks scarier on the surface,
Si Yiyan said while staring at her moistened eyelashes and the teardrops at the corners of her eyes. She seemed just like a pitiful Little Red Riding Hood, a far cry from her usual arrogant self.
Wen Xinya still could not get a grip on her emotions. She said,
I heard that Tibetan Mastiffs are as fierce and menacing as wolves. They have strong jaws and sharp teeth. It has an incredible bite force that can go up to 300PSI and the results will be fatal if it bites you on your neck.

Caressing her head and patting her back, Si Yiyan said,
Cleopatra has undergone proper training, it wouldn’t attack humans unnecessarily. Besides, you’re a guest. It wouldn’t harm you.


Really?
Wen Xinya asked apprehensively while glancing at the Tibetan Mastiff.
