Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Not a Beast Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Not a Beast Little Tiger, who had just dashed off to chase butterflies, heard Chuner call and, wagging his tail, came running back huffing and puffing.
“How about Big Sister names you Qi Miao, does that sound good?” Chuner squatted down and asked as she stroked his yellow fur.
“Meow meow…!” Little Tiger seemed to understand and nodded vigorously.
“Good, then from now on you’ll be called Qi Miao!”
“Meow meow…!” Little Tiger seemed very happy, merrily circling around them.
Chuner looked up with a smile and said to Xuexue, “Big Sister, look how happy he is; he likes the name Qi Miao.”
Xuexue, having seen Little Tiger’s reaction, nodded and called out to him, “Qi Miao, stop playing and hurry home.”
The moment Little Tiger heard Xuexue’s words, his little body hurried toward the home’s doorway faster than they could, in a competitive sprint.
This made Xuexue and her sister burst into giggles.
Chuner was laughing so hard she was almost out of breath, “Big Sister, look how fast Qi Miao is running!”
Xuexue playfully replied, “Of course, Qi Miao has four legs, do you have four legs?”
Chuner, who had been laughing, suddenly stopped and pouted, looking aggrieved, “Big Sister, why are you starting to insult people?”
Xuexue was quite shocked, “When did I insult you?”
“You said Qi Miao has four legs and I don’t, isn’t that insulting?” Old Lady Mo used to always scold her calling her a little beast, and the young girl was sensitive!
Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh, realizing the little sister was fixated on a careless remark, so she asked with a smile, “Does Chuner have four legs?”
“Chuner isn’t an animal, how could she have four legs!” Chuner pouted, a bit annoyed, how could her sister be as annoying as grandmother!
“That’s right then! Since Chuner doesn’t have four legs and isn’t an animal, there’s nothing to be upset about.” Xuexue grinned, “Besides, Big Sister didn’t mean any harm by that remark, so don’t be angry.”
The moment Chuner heard that, it seemed to make sense, and she cheered up, “Big Sister, it was Chuner who was oversensitive, you mustn’t be upset, okay?”
“Silly girl, when has Big Sister ever been angry with you?” Xuexue rubbed her little head affectionately.
In their past life, after their foster mother died, the little girl’s life became even more miserable, and she, absorbed in trying to please the Crown Prince, had neglected her, not knowing how she had fared later. Xuexue felt very guilty towards Chuner.
In their past life, she had lost too much for a worthless man, and she silently swore that in this life, she would never repeat the same mistakes and would protect her loved ones properly.
“Mmh! Big Sister is really good to Chuner.” Chuner looked up with a blissfully innocent smile.
Their laughter had been quite boisterous just now.
Madam Xie, who was in the kitchen, heard everything clearly. She poked her head out and asked, “You two sisters are laughing so loudly, what’s making you so happy?”
“Mommy, Mommy, Big Sister is so amazing, she named the kitty Qi Miao. Do you think it’s a nice name?” Chuner ran to Madam Xie, chirping nonstop.
“It sounds nice.” Actually, Madam Xie didn’t understand what it meant at all, but as long as her daughters were happy, she thought everything was good.
“Kitty also likes this name.”
“It sounds really nice, now come and wash your hands to eat.” As Madam Xie pulled her head back in to finish the dishes in the pot, it was time to eat.
“Mommy, what is Qi Miao eating tonight?” Chuner’s daily concern was what Little Tiger ate; the little guy was picky and only liked to eat meat.
