With Laifu acting as a "third wheel" nearby, Lin Qingzhu found it a bit difficult to get close to Ning Wangshu as she had hoped.

If Laifu were just an ordinary little dog, it wouldn't be a problem. However, Ning Wangshu had mentioned before that Laifu's intelligence was almost on par with a human's, which made Lin Qingzhu feel as if someone was watching them.

Noticing Lin Qingzhu's slightly awkward demeanor, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but chuckle. He patted Laifu on the head and said, "Laifu, go to the room for a bit. We have some things to discuss, and I'll call you out later."

Hearing Ning Wangshu's words, Laifu let out a couple of reluctant whimpers but obediently got up, jumped off the sofa, and looked back at Ning Wangshu with every step before finally heading to the room.
