The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Mike, come here!"

Seeing "Dad" waving at him, Mike happily wagged his big tail and ran over.

While stroking the golden retriever, Ning Yuan complained to Zhuang Xueqi with annoyance, "Can you not always take Mike outside? He gets all dirty. You like dogs so much, raise one yourself. Stop always eyeing mine."

Zhuang Xueqi crossed her arms and looked down condescendingly at the dog and the man, "Ning Yuan, we’re married now. Half of your things are mine, and that includes the dog."

"Dream on, Mike was raised by me. He’s mine alone, and you’re not allowed to touch him without my permission from now on."

Zhuang Xueqi’s lips curled, "Ning Yuan, are you sure you want to be so clear-cut with me?"

Ning Yuan sneered, "There’s just the two of us in the house. Cut the act. This marriage is just for show to please our parents. I don’t care what you do outside, but don’t think about managing me or my dog."

"Fine. Then don’t even think about touching anything I raise in the future."

"Rest assured, even if you beg me, I won’t spare it a second glance."

"Ning Yuan, you’d better remember what you said today."
