Chapter 39 should name it Jingjing.

At noon.

After finishing her lunch, Jian Ning sat on a chair under the eaves, basking in the sun.

The villa faces south, and the sun is shining in just the right amount of sunlight, warming the body but not the face.

My phone beeped with a notification for a new WeChat message.

It was a message from a building materials supplier, containing the construction plan, as well as overall fence renderings and a quote.

The total price was 420,000, but the boss offered a 20,000 discount, bringing the price down to 400,000.

Jian Ning replied, "Okay."

The building materials store owner replied even faster: "Okay, I'll draft the contract here. You can take a look when I come over this afternoon, and sign it if there are no problems. I'll also arrange for workers to come this afternoon to remove the old fence and clear away the weeds around it."

"it is good."

After replying, Jian Ning put her phone aside.

The little Border Collie came over with a toy ball in its mouth, its little tail wagging left and right, its eyes full of expectation as it looked at her.

Jian Ning reached out, and the little Border Collie spat the ball from its mouth into her hand.

She tossed the toy ball, and it flew out in a parabola.

The little Border Collie excitedly chased after the toy ball, pawed at it a couple of times, grabbed it, and then happily trotted back to its owner.

Jian Ning patiently played the game of fetching, retrieving, and throwing the ball with it.

The cats in the yard were too hot to move, so they lay on the cool floor under the eaves, half of their bodies sunbathing and their heads hidden in the shade, sleeping.

When Long Wu arrived with her dog, Jian Ning was signing a contract at the entrance of Huayue Villa.

She confirmed with the building materials supplier that the entire construction project would definitely be completed within ten days before signing the contract and paying the down payment.

"Ning Ning."

Long Wu got out of the car, greeted them, and was about to take her unfilial son out of the passenger seat.

As soon as the car door opened, before the leash could even be put on, the Alaskan Malamute leaped out of the car and ran fifty meters away.

Enraged, Long Wu chased after her, roaring, "Come back! Nao Nao, come back to Mommy! That's a main road, it's dangerous there."

Perhaps Alaska had a change of heart, for his frantic figure finally stopped for a moment and turned to look at Long Wu.

It looked like Long Wu was about to catch up with it...

It kept running forward.

Long Wu was even angrier, stomping her feet and yelling like a madwoman, "Aaaaaah! Come back here! You stinky dog!"

Jian Ning was discussing matters with her boss and didn't notice what was going on here. After everything was confirmed, she walked over to Long Wu, who was standing there angrily in the distance, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Long Wu pointed to the dog not far away, "I didn't pay attention when I opened the car door, and the dog ran away before I even put on the leash. Although there are few cars here, it's still a main road, and it doesn't know its limits. I was afraid it would run around and cause some trouble."

Seeing her panting, Jian Ning patted her shoulder to comfort her and said, "I'll go after them."

“It’s no use, Ningning. I’ve encountered this situation too many times. It’s just a stubborn dog, too noisy. If it didn’t want to come back, no one could catch it.” Long Wu shook her head regretfully and said, “I shouldn’t have named it Naonao. They say a dog’s name reflects its character. I should have named it Jingjing.”

"It's okay, I'll try it."

Jian Ning didn't run; she walked over slowly.

The Alaskan Malamute stopped and sniffed around, glancing back every now and then. Seeing its owner standing there watching it, it stood still and looked back at its owner.

"Woof!" Come and chase me!

Dragon Dance did not respond.

Jane was only a dozen steps away from it. Alaska realized something was wrong, took a step back, and was ready to continue the race at any moment.

Jian Ning stopped walking forward, squatted down, and reached out her hand, saying, "Nao Nao, come here."

Alaska's serious little expression... something's off.

How could it understand what the woman was saying? It tentatively took a few steps forward.

Jian Ning said again, "Great, come here quickly. Don't let your master worry. These are all main roads, it's not safe. I'll take you to a fun place."

Her words were spoken slowly and gently, as if she had an innate ability to soothe animals.

The Alaskan Malamute hesitated, swaying its tail left and right before slowly walking towards her.

Jian Ning grabbed its head and rubbed it hard.

The Alaskan Malamute not only didn't feel any discomfort, but even felt quite comfortable, shaking its head from side to side in her palm, and wagging its tail even more happily.

The dog's head, being rubbed and kneaded, still managed to ask in a break, "Woof~" Who are you?

“I am your master’s friend, don’t be afraid.” It was Jian Ning’s first time trying to communicate with other animals, and she found that it was not much different from communicating with the cats and dogs at home. She turned to Long Wu and said, “Come here.”

Long Wu, her face full of shock, ran over in a few steps, holding the dog leash in her hand.

She was still somewhat incredulous until she touched her unruly son's head, put the leash on it, and successfully tethered the dog.

"Ningning, how did you do that?"

Let alone chasing dogs, every time she would run for ages until she was out of breath and still couldn't catch up, and that unfilial son would only come back on his own after he had his fun.

To be honest, her dog isn't exactly a good dog; it's never this affectionate towards strangers. If a stranger comes to the house, it barks for ages, looking utterly disgusted.

“I called it once, and it came over,” Jian Ning replied, reaching out to pat the Alaskan Malamute’s head and praising it, “So well-behaved.”

Long Wu looked at Nao Nao without any resistance when being touched, and even seemed to enjoy it, and said with a look of surprise: "It doesn't act like this with other people, which means it really likes you."

Jian Ning smiled. "It seems so."

The two walked back and entered the villa through the main gate.

Jian Ning glanced at the dilapidated, practically useless door. Once the fence is replaced, this place will have to be replaced too, with a facial recognition key card installed.

The little Border Collie darted out of the grass, covered in wild grass seeds, full of mischief, and rubbed against Jian Ning's feet.

The Alaskan Malamute immediately barked, "Woof!"

Long Wu was on high alert and immediately gripped the dog leash tightly.

Her son, Nao Nao, is unfriendly to people, and the same goes for dogs.

There are some designated pet lawns in the north of the city where people let their dogs off their leashes in specific areas so that the dogs can interact with each other.

But her dog, Nao Nao, is like a wild horse once it's off its leash. It'll fight any dog ​​it encounters, shoving and provoking it everywhere, and Nao Nao is also quite big. The other dog owners will then come and cause trouble, so she's afraid to take Nao Nao to the pet lawn anymore.

Therefore, she subconsciously felt that Nao Nao would bully the little Border Collie.

She reacted almost instinctively, immediately tightening the leash, forcing the Alaskan Malamute's massive body to press tightly against her legs.

Fearing that Jian Ning might misunderstand, Long Wu first explained, "My dog ​​Nao Nao bullies other dogs."

"It's okay." Jian Ning noticed her tension and reassured her, "The most common way dogs play is roughhousing, it's normal."

When I was a child, my grandma also raised dogs. Dogs in the countryside didn't have as good a life as pet dogs.

Back then, we had a big yellow dog, which was kept by the family specifically to guard the chickens and ducks and prevent thieves from stealing the chickens at night.

Big Yellow gave birth to a litter of puppies, and the first thing the puppies learned was to bite each other with their teeth.

At first, she would get very anxious and try to calm them down, telling them to stop fighting.

There was a really strong little dog that could take on three opponents at once and not be at a disadvantage.

Jianning particularly disliked it, feeling that it was always bullying other puppies.

Sometimes, they would even manually use a stick to chase the dog away when they were fighting.

They ran a little further away to fight, and kind-hearted Jian Ning couldn't persuade them to stop, and even shed tears.

Grandma passed by, saw her crying, and, suppressing a laugh, told her, "Ningning, you don't understand. This is how dogs communicate with each other. You see them biting each other, but they're actually having a lot of fun playing. It's the same as when you play jump rope with your friends."
