Jun Moyan was amused by its actions and a shallow smile involuntarily curved the corners of his mouth.
Wen Xiao’ai even thought she might be seeing things.
Counting on her fingers, it seemed person hadn’t smiled in about five or six days, right?
And every time he did smile, it was like the fleeting bloom of a night-blooming cereus, so quick that one would think it an illusion.
Watching Wen Xiao’ai staring at him in a daze, Jun Moyan reached out and gently ruffled its little head.
Around seven o’clock, the sky slowly darkened.
A black Maybach slowly drove into a mansion much larger than Wu Garden.
There were artificial mountains and rivers, pavilions and towers, man-made lakes, and European-style buildings situated at various corners, large enough to be used as a tourist attraction for sightseeing.
The car wound around several huge flower beds and man-made lakes before finally stopping in front of the most central and eye-catching villa in the mansion.
The eight creamy white colossal round stone pillars in front of the villa were very imposing.
Wen Xiao’ai was quite disappointed with this destination.
She had thought they were going back to the place where she had fallen...
"Xiaoguai, follow Qing Yi to my residence in the villa. Don’t wander off; I will come to find you later," Jun Moyan picked it up from his body and placed it on the seat beside him.
"Meow~" This time, Wen Xiao’ai didn’t cling to him.
She was afraid if she disobeyed again, he would pinch her ears. Anyway, he said he would come to find her later.
Jun Moyan opened the car door and went straight to the villa.
Qing Yi turned the steering wheel and drove Wen Xiao’ai to Jun Moyan’s residence in the Jun Family.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of another villa.
Wen Xiao’ai handed the milk bottle to Qing Yi and then jumped out of the car on her own.
Qing Yi, with a smile looking at the milk bottle in her hand, led Wen Xiao’ai into the villa.
She arranged for someone to bring some food, opened the television for Wen Xiao’ai, and put on a cartoon.
"Stay here, don’t run around, okay? I’m going to find Young Master Three. This place isn’t as safe as Wu Garden. If you wander off, be careful of being caught and fed to the wolves."
"Meow~" Wen Xiao’ai responded.
Humph, always trying to scare me.
Qing Yi didn’t know if it understood her, but she told the maid to watch over it and not to touch it, then left.
The maid, seeing how pretty Wen Xiao’ai looked, disregarded Qing Yi’s warning as soon as she left, and reached out to scoop it up into her arms while it was not paying attention.
Wen Xiao’ai really hated when someone touched her without her permission. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fiɾe·net
Especially strangers who were wearing perfumes she disliked.
Wen Xiao’ai struggled in her arms, but the maid still didn’t want to let go, even attempting to pinch its ears.
But Wen Xiao’ai dodged every attempt.
Wen Xiao’ai, covering its ears with its paws, kept yowling at her, its voice growing louder and more aggressive.
"Quite a temper," said the maid, getting somewhat annoyed with Wen Xiao’ai’s resistance and continuous yowling.
The hand gripping its body also tightened its hold.
Not caring if she would hurt it, she thought since it couldn’t speak, it would hurt no one if it were in pain.
Wen Xiao’ai, hurt by her handling, could no longer endure it and, when the maid reached for her again, she scratched the back of the maid’s hand, drawing blood.
"Ah." The maid, in pain, harshly threw it away.
Wen Xiao’ai landed on the sofa, quickly got up, and withdrew its bloody claws.
Glaring fiercely at the pale-faced maid, it felt not the slightest pity nor guilt for injury.
Then, it jumped off the sofa and ran out.
Her clan had told her not to harm humans, or they would face retribution.
She was defending herself, and she hadn’t used any mana, so she was not afraid of any retribution nonsense.
